JonathanJTibbs.com is a website broadcast out of Jacksonville FL, based with the concept of communications with the divine upon creation in 2008.

JonathanJTibbs has a recorded global audience noted for the belief in a greater power who has the ability to communicate with an estimated following of believers in the billions. The website is ranked 12 million out of an estimated 350 million recorded sites. It is a venue for media in several countries in the promotion of press and tourism.

Many believers across the world have faith in communicating with a higher power with recorded references of biblical figures as Moses. Mr. Tibbs sought to re-create such an impact in the unification of all peoples; gay, straight, black, white, Christian, Muslim and Jew. The use of social media sites re-creates a biblical scenario to transform the reader to ages prior.

JonathanJTibbs is a advocate for all people participating in Ricci vs. Destefano Supreme Court Case...designing all graphics worn by thousands of protestors. Civil freedoms is a knowledge in the belief that a greater power has delivered humanity from great distress as with the days recorded in Egypt's dominance over the Jews.

JonathanJTibbs uses biblical reference and news scenarios to define liberties in many faiths along with civil freedoms.

Islam ...

Koran 5:82 in the Koran says “you will certainly find the nearest in friendship to those who believe (to be) those who say: ... We are Christians.”

" O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; ... surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” (those who believe this)

"ALLAH is he besides whom there is none worthy of worship, the Living, the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining. He has sent down to thee the book containing the truth and fulfilling that which precedes it; and He has sent down the Torah (Law of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guidance to the people; and he has sent down the Discrimination (judgement between right and wrong)."—Qur'an, Surah 3:3-4

"Abraham was indeed a paragon of virtue, obedient to ALLAH, ever inclined to him, and he was not of those who set up equals with ALLAH; Ever grateful for HIS favours: He chose him and guided him to a straight path. And we bestowed on him good in this world, and in the Hereafter he will surely be among the righteous. And now WE have sent revelation to thee, enjoining, 'Follow the way of Abraham who was ever inclined to ALLAH and was not of those who set up equals to him.'"—Qur'an, Surah 16:121-124

When the angels said, 'O Mary, ALLAH gives thee glad tidings of a son through a word from him; his name shall be the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, honoured in this world and in the next, and of those who are granted nearness to God;

"Thereupon she pointed to him. They said, 'How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?' Jesus said ... 'I am a servant of ALLAH. he has given me the Book, and has made me a Prophet; 'And he has ...made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I live; 'And he has made me dutiful towards my mother, and has not made me arrogant and graceless: 'And peace was on me the day I was born and peace will be on me the day I shall die, and the day I shall be raised up to life again.' That was Jesus, son of Mary. This is a statement of the truth concerning which they entertain doubt."—Qur'an, Surah 19:30-35

In calling Jesus a messenger, Muhammad was also correct. He did not mean that Jesus was not the Messiah. Muhammad knew that one could be a messenger and not be a Messiah… but as The Messiah, one is also a messenger. The Koran plainly says Christ died and rose again to save humanity ... Islam also preaches Christ will have a second coming to judge mankind ...

The koran also speaks of the Mahdi who comes from Judeo-Christian roots symbolized by a white horse and brings balance to the Muslim nations ... The Mahdi will be loved by all people and bridge all races.

It is also said Muhammad rode to heaven on a white horse...Seen as thunder and lightning.

Christianity...

The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me, unto him ye shall hearken. (Deuteronomy 18:15)

The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. (Galations 3:16)

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" - Jesus Christ

Colossians 3:1 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. 3 For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." John 3:17

"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life; and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." --John 3:36

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord;" --Romans 6:23

"And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." I John 5:11-13

Jesus said, "Fear not; I am the first and the last:" Revelation 1:17

Judaism ...

The Torah, of Moses, is also the first of three parts of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), the founding religious document of Judaism, Rabbah 23 says GOD has appointed me another seed.

Midrash 5 speaks of the savior crucifed for, the agony for our transgressions...

Rabbah 11 speaks that the Messiah will appear (Christ's birth) disappear (Christs death) and (appear again)... the second coming... also spoke in the bible and the Koran.

The Rabbah 98 points the Messiah and point out their misdeeds and inlighten them on the Tora...

The reason the Jews do not believe Christ is the Messiah is because the prophecy hasn't been fulfilled yet ... The key word is yet ... For as the Rabbah indicates the Christ would disappear and reappear again sooo how can one judge the events of his coming as he is indicated to come again, making the fulfillment of his prophecy. As in the same, anything done in his name is to him the credit.

Zechariah 9:9, which states "your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey," popular perception places the color of this donkey as white.

Human Rights...

337: Christian Emperor Constantius created a law which made the marriage of a Jewish man to a Christian punishable by death...

489 - 519: Christian mobs destroyed the synagogues in Antioch, Daphne (near Antioch) and Ravenna...

538: The 3rd and 4th Councils of Orleans prohibited Jews from appearing in public during the Easter season.

Christians were prohibited from converting to Judaism...

855: Jews were exiled from Italy... 1180: The French King of France, Philip Augustus, arbitrarily seized all Jewish property and expelled the Jews from the country. There was no legal justification for this action. They were allowed to sell all movable possessions, but their land and houses were stolen by the king...

1189: Jews were persecuted in England. The Crown claimed all Jewish possessions. Most of their houses were burned...

1096: The First Crusade was launched in this year. Although the prime goal of the crusades was to liberate Jerusalem from the Muslims, Jews were a second target. As the soldiers passed through Europe on the way to the Holy Land, large numbers of Jews were challenged: "Christ-killers, embrace the Cross or die!" 12,000 Jews in the Rhine Valley alone were killed in the first Crusade. This behavior continued for 8 additional crusades until the 9th in 1272...

1846 - 1878: Pope Pius IX restored all of the previous restrictions against the Jews within the Vatican state. All Jews under Papal control were confined to Rome's ghetto - the last one in Europe until the Nazi era restored the church's practice. On 2000-SEP-3, Pope John Paul II beatified Pius IX; this is the last step before sainthood. He explained: "Beatifying a son of the church does not celebrate particular historic choices that he has made, but rather points him out for imitation and for veneration for his virtue." ...

1881: Alexander II of Russia was assassinated by radicals. The Jews were blamed. About 200 individual pogroms against the Jews followed. ("Pogrom" is a Russian word meaning "devastation" or "riot." In Russia, a pogrom was typically a mob riot against Jewish individuals, shops, homes or businesses. They were often supported and even organized by the government.) Thousands of Jews became homeless and impoverished. The few who were charged with offenses generally received very light sentences

1903: At Easter, government agents organized an anti-Jewish pogrom in Kishinev, Moldova, Russia. The local newspaper published a series of inflammatory articles. A Christian child was discovered murdered and a young Christian woman at the Jewish Hospital committed suicide. Jews were blamed for the deaths. Violence ensured. The 5,000 soldiers in the town did nothing. When the smoke cleared, 49 Jews had been killed, 500 were injured; 700 homes looted and destroyed, 600 businesses and shops looted, 2,000 families left homeless. Later, it was discovered that the child had been murdered by its relatives and the suicide was unrelated to the Jews ...

1915: 600,000 Jews were forcibly moved from the western borders of Russia towards the interior. About 100,000 died of exposure or starvation ...

1917: "In the civil war following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, the reactionary White Armies made extensive use of the Protocols to incite widespread slaughters of Jews." Two hundred thousand Jews were murdered in the Ukraine alone...

1920's, 1930's: Discrimination against Jews in North America is widespread. Many universities set limits on the maximum number of Jewish students that they would accept. Harvard accepted all students on the basis of merit until after World War I when the percentage of Jewish students approached 15%. At that time they installed an informal quota system. In 1941, Princeton had fewer than 2% Jews in their student body. Jews were routinely barred from country clubs, prestigious neighborhoods, etc...

1933: Hitler took power in Germany. On APR-1, Julius Streicher organized a one-day boycott of all Jewish owned businesses in the country. This was the start of continuous oppression by the Nazis culminating in the Holocaust (a.k.a. Shoah). Jews "were barred from civil service, legal professions and universities, were not allowed to teach in schools and could not be editors of newspapers." Two years later, Jews were no longer considered citizens...

1939: The Holocaust, the Shoah -- the systematic extermination of Jews in Germany -- began. The process only ended in 1945 with the conclusion of World War II and the liberation of the death camps. Approximately 6 million Jews (1.5 million of them children), 400 thousand Roma (Gypsies) and others were slaughtered. Some were killed by death squads; others were slowly killed in trucks with carbon monoxide; others were gassed in large groups in Auschwitz, Dacau, Sobibor, Treblinka and other extermination camps. Officially, the holocaust was described by the Nazis as subjecting Jews "to special treatment" or as a "solution of the Jewish question." Gold taken from the teeth of the victims was recycled; hair was used in the manufacture of mattresses. In the Buchenwald extermination camp, lampshades were made out of human skin; however, this appears to be an isolated incident. A rumor spread that Jewish corpses were routinely converted into soap. However, the story appears to be false. ...

1941: Polish citizens in Jedwabne in northeastern Poland killed hundreds of Jews, by either beating them to death or burning them alive in a barn. According to the Associated Press: "The role played by Polish citizens was suppressed for nearly six decades until publication of a book by a Polish émigré historian, Jan Tomasz Gross. After release of the book in 2000, the Polish government launched an investigation. 'The role of the Poles was decisive in conducting the criminal act,' [prosecutor Radoslaw] Ignatiew, said. The book, 'Neighbors,' sparked national soul-searching among Poles, many of whom could not believe that anybody but the Nazis would have committed the atrocity." ...

1942: The Nazi leaders of Germany, at the Wannsee conference, decided on "the final solution of the Jewish question" which was the attempt to exterminate every Jew in Europe. From JUL-28 to 31, almost 18,000 Russian inhabitants of the Minsk ghetto in what is now Belarus were exterminated. This was in addition to 5,000 to 15,000 who had been massacred in earlier pogroms in that city. This was just one of many such pogroms during World War II...

Slavery ...

"The Portuguese inaugurated the Atlantic slave trade, soon to be joined by the Spanish. Christopher Columbus’ conquest of the Caribbean virtually wiped out the indigenous culture. Before long other colonial nations had poured into the Americas to plunder them. Slave labor produced sugar, cotton and tobacco. With the Indians dying out, African slaves were imported – 900,000 had landed by 1600. The African nations that supplied the slaves had a long history of slavery themselves. European colonists flocked to West Africa trading liquor, tobacco, arms and trinkets for live cargo"...

"Thus began the notorious Middle Passage where slaves would be loaded lying down in the holds of ships, often on their sides to preserve space. The British were the prime slavers, bringing goods from England to exchange for African slaves whom they then supplied to Spanish and Portuguese colonies in the New World. This triangular trade built Britain’s fortune"...

"Sugar was the mainstay of slavery in Brazil, Cuba and Haiti. In Brazil the Portuguese resisted installing even the most basic machinery to replace human labour; they worked their slaves to death within a span of a few years. Numerous African slaves escaped to the Brazilian interior, forming their own Republic of Palmares in a famous revolt which lasted 70 years. In 1696 when Palmares fell, all the leaders committed suicide rather than be enslaved again. Haiti, under French dominance, was importing 40,000 slaves a year when the fuse for a spectacular revolt was lit. Toussaint L’Ouverture took charge, forcing an abolitionist decree through the French Assembly and becoming the first black man to govern a European colony. Eventually under Napoleon’s despotic reign, Toussaint was toppled by one of his own supporters. But Haiti gained freedom rather than returning to slavery"...

"The 18th century saw the birth of abolitionist groups in the Western world. In 1804 the Danes made the slave trade illegal; Britain followed in 1807 and the Americans a year later. Anti-Slavery International was founded in 1839 a few years before the complete abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. But slave smuggling and slavery itself continued... The economic climate was changing – Britain’s industries, built on the profits of plantation slavery, now sought a labor force closer to home"... "The American War of Independence, without, however, gaining their own. The slogan, ‘All men are created equal’ had a hollow ring when even Thomas Jefferson who wrote it owned slaves. The invention of the cotton gin revolutionized the American South’s fortunes – in 1860 a cotton harvest worth $200 million was picked by slaves working under the lash. Slaves did every imaginable job that their masters saw fit, with skilled slaves being hired out for further profit. Fugitives escaped under cover of night travelling over wild terrain to the Northern states and Canada – their routes became known as the Underground Railroad. The Civil War in 1861 was the death knell of American slavery – over 38,000 black people died fighting in it. The 13th Amendment to the US Constitution abolished slavery"...

Modern-day slaves can be found laboring as servants or concubines in Sudan, as child "carpet slaves" in India, or as cane-cutters in Haitiand southern Pakistan, to name but a few instances. According to Anti-Slavery International, the world's oldest human rights organization, there are currently over 20 million people in bondage.

The slave trade in Africa was officially banned in the early 1880s, but forced labor continues to be practiced in West and Central Africa today. UNICEF estimates that 200,000 children from this region are sold into slavery each year. Many of these children are from Benin and Togo and are sold into the domestic, agricultural, and sex industries of wealthier, neighboring countries such as Nigera and Gabon.

In the Dominican Republic, the collection of slaves for the busy harvest season is more random. The Dominican army, with the support of the State Sugar Council (known as the CEA), "hauls Haitians off public buses, arrests them in their homes or at their jobs, and delivers them to the cane fields," according to Charles Jacobs. ...Some of the cane-cutters sign on to work voluntarily. When the number of workers does not meet the harvest's demand, the Dominican army is set into action. The army's captives are forced to work at gunpoint and beaten if they try to escape.

Homosexuality ...

"The killing of homosexuals persists to the present time in many parts of the world. We know far right regimes as philosophically different as Nazi Germany and Islamic theocracies have executed gay people. Paramilitary death squads in South America have also been responsible for over 1,500 deaths of homosexuals. A recent survey indicated one out of every three Russians believes gays and lesbians should be “liquidated.” ...

Citing biblical scripture, some neo-conservative Christian leaders continue to advocate the death penalty for sodomites. Mormon Apostle Bruce R. McConkie stated he supported the death penalty for all illicit sex including homosexuality. McConkie excused his outrageous assumption by claiming public execution of homosexuals would never take place until the church and state were one. I am not certain how Elder McConkie was going to publicly execute homosexuals; however, his well-received book, “Mormon Doctrine,” instilled in the minds of many in Utah that homosexuals were worthy of death...

George Roy Moriarty’s murder, a hate crme, was so horrific even the Salt Lake Tribune printed enough information that most people could tell his death was a sex crime. George Moriarty, a 33-year-old Korean War veteran, lived in South Salt Lake. On New Year’s Day 1965, Moriarty met Gary Horning, 25, of Ogden, at a Salt Lake City bar. After playing pool and drinking all day, Horning said he had to get back to Ogden to go to work in the morning. Moriarty then told Horning he would like to go with him to Ogden to “have a party.” The pair drove to Ogden and after visiting several bars, they met up with Leon Dyer, 26. After midnight, the three men drove to a secluded turnout up Ogden Canyon and there Moriarty removed all his clothing ...

What set off the events which led to Moriarty’s death, only Dyer and Horning know. Whether Dyer, after having sex, directed his intense feelings of guilt at Moriarty, or whether he was sadistically trying to sexually assault Moriarty is unknown. Horning confessed when Dyer started to hit Moriarty, he ran away naked into the cold January night. However, evidence shows Moriarty, who was beaten severely enough in the car to leave blood all over a plastic seat, was either tossed or shoved over the edge of the parking area, down a 140-foot embankment. Moriarty survived the fall and climbed back onto the road. Staggering half a mile toward the mouth of the canyon, he encountered Dyer and Horning driving back down the canyon. Surprised to see the man alive and on the road, they struck him with the car...

On January 2, 1965, Moriarty’s body was found by a paper boy. A trail of blood and bare foot prints, in the snow, led to where Moriarty was lying nude, in a fetal position, beside the road. George Moriarty had died sometime during the night from exposure" ... (Salt Lake Metro)

Jamaica may be the worst offender, but much of the rest of the Caribbean also has a long history of intense homophobia. Islands like Barbados still criminalize homosexuality, and some seem to be following Jamaica's more violent example... Two CBS News producers, both Americans, were beaten with tire irons by a gay-bashing mob while vacationing on St. Martin. One of the victims, Ryan Smith, was air bused to a Miami hospital, where he remains in intensive care with a fractured skull...

Gay-rights activists attribute the scourge of homophobia in Jamaica largely to the country's increasingly thuggish reggae music scene. Few epitomize the melding of reggae and gangsta cultures more than Banton, who is one of the nation's most popular dance-hall singers. Born Mark Myrie, he grew up the youngest of 15 children in Kingston's Salt Lane — the sort of slum dominated by ultraconservative Christian churches and intensely anti-gay Rastafarians. Banton parlayed homophobia into a ticket out of Salt Lane. One of his first hits, 1992's Boom Bye-Bye, boasts of shooting gays with Uzis and burning their skin with acid "like an old tire wheel." ...

Homosexuality is illegal in at least 37 countries in Africa ...

Religious conservative generally agree that suicides among youth with a homosexual orientation are elevated. However, they attribute it to two main causes: Despair by homosexual youth when they are told that they are trapped forever in the homosexual "lifestyle." Depression and suicidal ideation brought about by homosexual behavior itself which most religious conservatives consider to be disordered, a mental illness, and/or an addiction.
