Iraq

Description

Iraq is a country in Western Asia bordering on the north by Turkey, on the east by Iran, on the southeast by Kuwait, on the south by Saudi Arabia, on the southwest by Jordan, and on the west by Syria. Baghdad is the country’s capital and largest city. Iraq has a diversified ethnic population. Muslims make up 95–98 percent of the country’s 38 million residents, with small minorities of Christians and others. Arabic and Kurdish are Iraq’s official languages.

Iraq is a federal parliamentary republic with 19 governorates, four of which are autonomous Kurdistan Regions. Islam is the country’s official religion. Iraq is recognized for its poets and has a rich cultural legacy that honors the achievements of its past in both pre-Islamic and post-Islamic ages. Its artists and sculptors are among the best in the Arab world, with some being world-class, and it produces beautiful handicrafts such as rugs and carpets. Iraq is a founding member of the United Nations, the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Non-Aligned Movement, and the International Monetary Fund.

Saddam Hussein’s Ba’ath Party was deposed from office in 2003 after an invasion by the US and its allies, and multi-party parliamentary elections were held in 2005. The US military presence in Iraq ended in 2011, but the insurgency in Iraq grew stronger as jihadists from Syria’s civil war entered the country.

Each church is independent and autonomous and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that, therefore, Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from the dictation or patronage of the other.

We believe that a visible church is a company of believers in Jesus Christ, buried with Him in baptism and associated for worship, work and fellowship.

We believe that to these visible churches were committed for observance “until He comes,” the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper; and that God has laid upon these churches the task of persuading a lost world to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and to enthrone Him as Lord and Master. We believe that righteous living, good works and proper social concern are essential products of the gospel.

We believe, therefore, that those who accept Christ as their Lord and Savior will rejoice forever in God’s presence and those who refuse to accept Christ as Lord and Savior will be forever separated from God.

We believe in His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His high priestly intercession for His people and His personal, visible return to the world according to His promise.
