We are in a time of the first ever mass conversions of Muslims,” Father Mitch Pacwa SJ told me in a phone interview. “God is doing a mighty work among them.”
Pacwa said that mass conversions are happening even in very fundamentalist countries. There is rapidly growing number of conversions especially on the edges of the Muslim world in the western and southern parts of Africa, he said. “Africa is now growing predominantly Christian despite crackdowns,” Pacwa said.
Some of the noteworthy countries he mentioned include Iran, reported to have 3 million Christians, and Indonesia with reports of 2 million a year converting.
“In Mongolia, the president opened the country to Christians and there’s even an archbishop,” Pacwa said. “They built a Catholic school there too. If I was younger, I would have gone.” He said that the desire for a Western education was the impetus to open up the country to the Catholic Church.
There are even conversions happening in many strict Muslim countries, according to Pacwa. He did not want to go on record with particulars for fear of increased retribution. Mass conversions are also being reported among refugees that are filling up the Christian churches left empty by Europeans. Many wonder if those are authentic conversions or just a response to improving their chances for amnesty, but time will tell.
Signs of this conversion are showing up in the U.S. too, Pacwa said. “I was about to celebrate Mass at a Maronite church in San Diego and I said hi to a man who introduced himself as Achmad. I asked if he was a Christian. He said: ‘Yes, I was recently baptized.’ He said he from Morocco. Christians do not have the name Ahmad—that’s a form of Mohammad.”

You have simply repeated one of the inherited lies.
Believing it seals the second death.

>> “I read the Scriptures and know how to accurately divide the Word of Truth.” <<
Another of the inherited lies!
Thw word of truth is to be divided only from the word of lies. That was the theme of the epistle. The word of yehova has no divisions; it is one word.
.
>> “I think there are lots of so called religious people out there, who think they “believe,” but really don’t, to whom He will say, I NEVER knew you.” <<
Quite correct, and he told us who they were; the workers of iniquity, those that reject his loving Torah.

And you say you don't get MY point...
When EVERYONE knows that ROME is the FINAL authority because she FOUNDED the church!
Mary will reveal this in due time...
It makes no sense to cite the wordiness of Rome as proof when the topic being debated is the higher authority of that very same power structure.
But how do you 'divide' the words of Rome?
And the words of the apparatition that millions have called 'Mary'?
“Thw word of truth is to be divided only from the word of lies. That was the theme of the epistle. The word of yehova has no divisions; it is one word.”
If I followed a #fakerabbi, maybe I’d believe that, but thankfully I do not!
Then it would appear they aren’t as “equally Apostolic” as you give them credit for.
I’d say, judging from how East and West faired against the moslems, they have a history of choosing poorly.
That’s not what I said. I asked you what your point was to get a falsifiable assertion out of you.
I see no reason to continue with you if all you bring to the table is irreverent mockery.
My understanding is the hat they trace their lineage directly to Apostles...
Not that it matters.
And the have never recognized “pope” as a church office.
Mustard seeds don’t have tap roots, either. That doesn’t mean they are any less mustard.

GHrossly unfortunate that you can’t read the word for yourself, and have to accept the lies your nicolaitan “Rabbi” spews mindlessly.
We that “guard the Aviv” know that all of your “Rabbis” are fake! “Rabbis” (Revrends, priests etc.) are all servants of their Father, the adversary.

Actually mustard, rape, and others of that genus have rather deep roots, and can grow as tall as 20 feet.
They are often planted to protect new embankment slopes.

Mustard SEED.
Sorry you feel so put upon to deal with problems in Roman Catholicism.
You're excused from any further input.
Oh I fully intend to continue my input with others.
I just choose not to waste my time with an individual who carries on the exchange by rhetorically banging his spoon, turning over the strained peas, and pushing his sippy cup off the tray.
