revert vs convert
ChatGPT
In the context of Islam, the terms "revert" and "convert" are often used to describe the process of embracing the Islamic faith. However, there is a subtle but meaningful distinction in the usage of these terms.
Revert:The term "revert" is commonly used in Islamic circles to emphasize the belief that everyone is born in a state of submission to the one God (Allah in Arabic). In this view, when an individual embraces Islam, they are seen as returning to their innate, original state of submission to God. The concept is rooted in the Islamic belief that every person is born with a natural inclination (fitrah) towards monotheism.
Those who use the term "revert" often argue that people do not truly convert to Islam; instead, they rediscover and embrace the faith they were born with.
Convert:The term "convert" is more widely used in general language to describe someone who adopts a new religion or belief system. In the context of Islam, it refers to an individual who was previously following a different faith or had no religious affiliation and has chosen to accept Islam.
Unlike "revert," "convert" does not imply a return to an original state but emphasizes a conscious and voluntary decision to adopt a new set of beliefs and practices.
While the distinction between "revert" and "convert" is significant in the Islamic context, it's important to note that individuals may use these terms interchangeably, and the choice often depends on personal preference or the specific community's linguistic tradition. The ultimate focus in both cases is on the individual's sincere acceptance and practice of the Islamic faith.

Awakening in an Age of Apostasy
ChatGPT response:
Introduction:
The modern era is marked by a growing sense of disconnect from traditional values and spiritual principles. In this age of apostasy, where faith and moral compasses seem to waver, the need for a renewed awakening becomes imperative. Waking up in such a time requires a blend of introspection, resilience, and a commitment to rediscover purpose and meaning in our lives.Self-Reflection and Mindfulness:
To awaken in an age of apostasy, one must begin with self-reflection. In the chaos of the modern world, it is crucial to take a step back, introspect, and understand one's values, beliefs, and purpose. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation and contemplation, can aid in developing a deeper connection with oneself, fostering a clearer understanding of personal convictions in the face of societal turbulence.Critical Thinking and Discernment:
The age of apostasy is characterized by a plethora of conflicting ideologies and beliefs. To wake up and navigate through this maze, one must cultivate critical thinking skills. It is essential to question information, scrutinize sources, and develop the ability to discern truth from misinformation. A discerning mind is a powerful tool in the face of societal shifts and ideological challenges.Embracing Diverse Perspectives:
Waking up in the age of apostasy involves embracing diversity in thought and perspective. It is easy to fall into the trap of dogmatism and isolation in the face of conflicting beliefs. However, true awakening comes from a willingness to engage with different viewpoints, fostering empathy and understanding. This does not imply a compromise of personal values but rather a recognition of the richness that diversity brings to the human experience.Building Resilience:
In an era where faith and values are often tested, resilience becomes a cornerstone of awakening. Life's challenges may shake one's convictions, but a resilient spirit allows for a steadfast commitment to principles despite adversity. Building resilience involves developing coping mechanisms, maintaining a positive mindset, and finding strength in the face of uncertainty.Community and Support Networks:
Finding like-minded individuals or communities can be a powerful catalyst for awakening. In times of apostasy, the support of a community can provide encouragement, shared wisdom, and a sense of belonging. Whether through religious congregations, philosophical groups, or simply supportive social circles, the importance of community cannot be overstated in the journey of awakening.
Conclusion:
Waking up in the age of apostasy requires a multi-faceted approach that combines self-reflection, critical thinking, empathy, resilience, and community engagement. As the world undergoes profound shifts in values and beliefs, the individual seeking awakening must navigate through the chaos with a clear understanding of personal convictions. In doing so, one not only discovers a deeper sense of purpose but also contributes to the collective effort to bring about positive change in an era that challenges the very foundations of faith and morality.

Brother I've had - quite frankly - a riveting and shocking discovery.
I found the following article on Substack titled: "Why Western Women are converting to Islam." Coupled with this, in some preliminary research, I find that Islam is the fastest growing religion.
As I began writing my blog I remembered that I had recently read an article about the astounding explosion of the billion dollar industry of AI, specifically ChatGPT upgrades that is taking down the conventional and traditional business models and established markets.
Although I certainly understand AI is both a valuable tool and dangerous and soul-less according to a Blog I did a few months back*, and will no doubt be used by the Antichrist during the Tribulation to track people and deceive them by the millions, I believe it can be beneficial in doing research.

In the next half century or so, Christianity’s long reign as the world’s largest religion may come to an end, according to a just-released report that builds on Pew Research Center’s original population growth projections for religious groups. Indeed, Muslims will grow more than twice as fast as the overall world population between 2015 and 2060 and, in the second half of this century, will likely surpass Christians as the world’s largest religious group.

Why Western Women Are Converting to Islam
Since October 7, young Americans have been professing their devotion to the Quran in ‘the ultimate rebellion against the West.’
By Francesca Block and Suzy Weiss
November 18, 2023
It took Megan Rice just three weeks to go from first opening the Quran to professing her belief that Muhammad is the one true messenger of God.
It all started on October 20, when Rice, a black American millennial-aged activist, announced on TikTok that she was reading the holy book for the first time.
Perched on her couch in a gray sweatshirt, she said to her then-400,000 followers in a video that has since been viewed more than 5.3 million times: “It just seems that Palestinians have this ironclad faith even in the face of losing quite literally everything.”
Three days later she founded the World Religion Book Club, a virtual community now boasting more than 13,000 members, where she conducts live readings of the Quran. Israel’s response to the Hamas attack on October 7 is where her journey toward the religion “all started,” she told her followers on November 2.
By November 10, she first appeared on TikTok in a hijab, and the number of her followers had doubled. (It currently stands at 865,000.) The next day, Rice took her shahada, the Islamic ceremonial profession of faith, officially converting to Islam.
Rice is among a new swath of TikTok users—typically non-Arab, left-leaning Western women—who consider themselves “reverts” to Islam, based on the belief that all people are born on a natural path to Islam and therefore revert, rather than convert, to the religion.
There are currently scores of TikTok hashtags that include the word revert, including #WhiteRevert (1.6 million views), #BlackRevert (174K views), #JewishRevert (131K views), and #JapaneseRevert (278K). Biggest of all is the simple hashtag #revert, with 2.9 billion views, followed by #RevertMuslim (1.4 billion), and #MuslimRevert (525 million). At the same time, Osama bin Laden’s Letter to America, in which the terrorist justifies Al Qaeda’s hatred of the West and its attack on the Twin Towers, went viral this week on TikTok as young Americans declared admiration for his ideas.
The trend of young women in the West suddenly reverting to Islam, spurred by the war in the Middle East, is an example of “mimetic desire,” writer Luke Burgis told The Free Press. This theory, which holds that individual desires are merely imitations of the desires of others, is exacerbated by social media algorithms, he said.
“Structurally, Hamas has the more powerful mimesis on its side, and that mimesis extends beyond Gaza to the entire Islamic world and far beyond it—even to the Midwest American girl in her room watching with rapt attention as influencers ride the algorithmic wave of Quran interest,” Burgis wrote in an email to The Free Press.
Rice has already managed to convert others to Islam. One of them is millennial TikTok influencer Alex, who defines herself in her bio as a “feral leftist queer gremlin” (Alex doesn’t give her last name), and says she started attending pro-Palestine rallies in Boston after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.
On October 24, she released her own video, opening with a clip of Rice urging her followers that they “should probably read the Quran.” The video, which has been viewed over 200,000 times, then jumps to Alex showing off her newly ordered copy of the book alongside sticky notes and colored pens.
On November 4, Alex posted another video saying she had taken her shahada at her local Islamic cultural center. (Neither Rice nor Alex responded to requests from The Free Press for comment.)
Madison Reeves, a 24-year-old mother and Army vet who lives in Tampa, is another activist who quickly reverted to Islam. Back in September, she met a 17-year-old Pakistani girl on a language learning app, who started teaching her about Muhammad and the Quranic prophets.
“She debunked everything I thought about Muslims. I was scared of them,” Reeves told The Free Press. “I had this idea that it was a very controlling religion where women have to cover up.”
“It was blowing my mind every day,” she added.
Reeves said she started doing more research and ordered a prayer mat and hijabs. Then, after what she describes as the start of a “genocide” in Gaza, she said she began posting pro-Palestinian videos that got her banned on the platform, and upset her family, too. On October 24, she created a new TikTok account to show off her bright green hijab and celebrate her reversion, screaming with joy, “I am a Muslim today, YEAAAAAAH!”
Reeves said she’s received messages welcoming her to the religion from as far away as Egypt, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia. In her 25 days of being a Muslim she has “gutted” her closet and given her less-than-modest clothes away. She said she prays five times a day now, and while learning how to put on a hijab was easy, giving up swearing has been hard.
“It's a big adjustment,” she said.
This modern reversion trend has historical parallels. In the year after 9/11, at least 8,000 American women converted to Islam. During the height of ISIS in the 2010s, “Jihadi Johns” and “ISIS brides”—Western people who fled their countries to join the extremist group in the Middle East—dominated the headlines. Katherine Dee, an internet historian who studies social trends, said one of the reasons women are believed to be more attracted to reversion, both online and off, is “because it offers a safe community for them.”
“But women are also more religious than men in general,” Dee added, “My guess is that TikTok is just following the same pattern.”
For some religious people, there may be a “fandom dynamic” when it comes to sharing their journey—not just with Islam, but other faiths— on TikTok, she said. “It’s less about sincere religious belief,” she explained, and more about “tribal alignment.”
That traditional progressives are adopting Islamic values does not surprise researcher Lorenzo Vidino, who has studied Islamism and global jihadism for over 25 years and now serves as the director of the Program on Extremism at George Washington University.
“I mean, rebellion is part of being young,” Vidino said. “At this point, what’s more rebellious, what’s more anti-Western and anti-capitalism and anti-establishment, than a conversion to Islam?”
Reversion, he concluded, is “the ultimate rebellion against the West.”
The reverts openly admit this. On TikTok, Alex called out a commenter who claimed she would want to “go back to [her] Western lifestyle” within six months of reverting.
“What part of the Western lifestyle do you think I’m going to run back to?” Alex asked. “Uh, rampant capitalism? All the colonizing? ’Cause I hate both of those things.”
Reverting is not just a way to show solidarity with a people believed to be marginalized or besieged; it’s also a way to earn applause for trying to learn about and adapt to a foreign culture. Online commenters can be seen praising the reverts even when they mispronounce Arabic words or improperly try on hijabs on TikTok.
“Keep going girl,” one commenter encouraged Alex as she stumbled through her description of the first chapter of the Quran.
“Your Arabic is really good!” another told Alysia, a new revert whose TikTok bio states “Save Palestine, Save Congo, Save Sudan,” as she tried to pronounce the name of one of the Quran’s chapters in Arabic.
Rice, meanwhile, is encouraging others to explore her newfound faith via her World Religions Book Club, where various members answer questions from a curious crowd—even those who might not be traditionally welcome in Islam.
One commenter who said he identified as a bisexual man wrote: “I would like to one day revert and practice Islam, however I’m having trouble aligning some of my own moral and political views to the religion.”
To which another user responded: “Technically it’s okay to be gay. It isn’t sinning unless you act upon those feelings.”
Vidino said it all reminds him of what the FBI calls “salad bar extremism.”
“You can choose different aspects of different extremist ideologies that are completely incompatible with one another,” he said. “You put it all together in a sort of collage that makes very little sense.”

why do christians revert to islam
ChatGPT
Individuals convert or revert to Islam from Christianity for a variety of reasons, and it's important to note that these decisions are deeply personal and can be influenced by a combination of factors. Here are some common reasons why some Christians may choose to embrace Islam:
Search for Truth and Meaning: Individuals may embark on a spiritual journey seeking deeper meaning and truth. Some find aspects of Islam resonate with their understanding of God, life, and purpose.
My commentary: Of course - We "intuitively, spiritually understand there can NOT be 3 gods and Jesus is the 2nd Person.
Monotheistic Beliefs:Both Christianity and Islam are Abrahamic religions with a focus on monotheism. Some Christians may be drawn to Islam's emphasis on the oneness of God and find a seamless transition in their belief in a singular, all-powerful deity.
My commentary: This is the ACID TEST - PROOF - ESSENCE: We spiritually know by our conscience, intuition there can ONLY BE ONE GOD NOT 3 gods in 1 or 3 persons. All religions MOCK CHRISTIANS BELIEF IN TRINITY. See my detailed study of the debate between a so called Christian Dr. David Wood debate a Muslim Scholar TRINITY VS TAWID. The Muslim won the debate using the Bible. I kid you not.
Why I as a Christian say a Muslim Scholar won the Trinity vs Tawhid Debate. Dr. David Woods Debate with Muslim Scholar Mohammed Hijab (thethirdheaventraveler.com)
Understanding Jesus in Islam:Islam reveres Jesus (known as 'Isa' in Arabic) as a prophet, and his role is highly respected in the Quran. Some Christians, while appreciating Jesus in their faith, may find the Islamic perspective on Jesus aligns with their own beliefs.
My commentary: Yes of course if you've been taught since childhood that Jesus is the 2nd Person of 3 gods who is a completely separate PERSON from God The Father who is another PERSON GOD.
Religious Guidance and Clarity:Individuals may be attracted to the clear guidance provided by Islam in various aspects of life, including daily rituals, ethics, and morality. Islam offers a comprehensive framework for living a balanced and righteous life.
Community and Support:Joining a Muslim community can be a compelling factor for conversion. The sense of belonging and support from a religious community may be influential in an individual's decision to embrace Islam.
Philosophical and Theological Resonance:Some individuals find that Islamic theology and philosophy address questions or concerns they may have had within their Christian beliefs. Concepts such as the oneness of God, the role of prophets, and the purpose of life may resonate more with their evolving spiritual understanding.
Social Justice and Ethical Values:Islam places a strong emphasis on social justice, charity, and ethical behavior. Some Christians who are passionate about these values may find alignment with the teachings of Islam, inspiring them to convert.
Interfaith Relationships:Personal relationships, such as marriage, can be a significant factor. Some individuals may convert to Islam due to marriage or relationships with Muslims, where exposure to Islamic practices and beliefs can lead to genuine conversion.
It's crucial to recognize that individual motivations are diverse, and people may convert for a combination of the reasons mentioned above or other personal factors. Respectful dialogue and understanding can help foster harmony and mutual respect between individuals of different religious backgrounds.

My question:
revert vs convert
ChatGPT
In the context of Islam, the terms "revert" and "convert" are often used to describe the process of embracing the Islamic faith. However, there is a subtle but meaningful distinction in the usage of these terms.
Revert:The term "revert" is commonly used in Islamic circles to emphasize the belief that everyone is born in a state of submission to the one God (Allah in Arabic). In this view, when an individual embraces Islam, they are seen as returning to their innate, original state of submission to God. The concept is rooted in the Islamic belief that every person is born with a natural inclination (fitrah) towards monotheism.
My comment: More proof to support the BIBLICAL GODHEAD vs the PAGAN TRINITY.
Those who use the term "revert" often argue that people do not truly convert to Islam; instead, they rediscover and embrace the faith they were born with.
Convert:The term "convert" is more widely used in general language to describe someone who adopts a new religion or belief system. In the context of Islam, it refers to an individual who was previously following a different faith or had no religious affiliation and has chosen to accept Islam.
Unlike "revert," "convert" does not imply a return to an original state but emphasizes a conscious and voluntary decision to adopt a new set of beliefs and practices.
While the distinction between "revert" and "convert" is significant in the Islamic context, it's important to note that individuals may use these terms interchangeably, and the choice often depends on personal preference or the specific community's linguistic tradition. The ultimate focus in both cases is on the individual's sincere acceptance and practice of the Islamic faith.
