Pope Challenges Jesus To Debate On Whether All Religions Lead To GodROME — Sources close to Pope Francis confirmed that the 87-year-old Bishop of Rome has just challenged Jesus Christ to a debate on how people can get to heaven.According to Francis, the debate has been in the works for quite a while, though he's hoping that Jesus will finally take him up on the offer now."I really need set the Lord straight," said the successor of the Apostle Peter. "We've just kept missing each other. One of those 'prayer tag' things, you know? Anyway, I heard Jesus said something...

A Nigerian prophet has come under intense scrutiny after his prediction that the rapture and the end of the world would coincide on April 25, 2024, failed to materialise. Despite proclaiming to have been shown the date through divine revelations during trances, the prophet’s claims have sparked a mixture of ridicule and criticism across social media platforms. The prophet, with the handle @Prophetmetu on X, claimed he experienced the visions on two separate occasions, expressed his own trepidation about the revelations. In his statement, he emphasised the clarity of his visions, where he saw two distinct mountains and felt a...

Arch-heretic Jesse Duplantis tried to justify his massive wealth accumulation during a recent broadcast episode of his show, but his wife accidentally called him out as an “ungodly man” over a blatant scripture twist. The decrepit money-grubber is known for his love of filthy lucre and declaring that the Lord’ flexes on him by ‘giving’ him a private jet. Perhaps the best living example of a two-fold son of hell that will spend eternity screaming in horror in the lake of fire if he doesn’t repent, we wrote about him recently after he argued that if you don’t believe in...

A server and her co-workers have been left shaking their heads after a series of interactions with a woman who was convinced the world was ending on April 8, 2024 — and who is now hoppin' mad and behaving in a most un-Christian fashion. Unlike most eclipses, the one on April 8 was special for Americans because the U.S. was in the "path of totality," a roughly 100-mile-wide swath from Texas to Maine in which the Moon completely obscures the Sun and ushers in a brief period of nighttime in the middle of the day. "A woman came to our...

This is the hilarious moment that a nun grapples a climate protester to the ground after an eco-mob attempted to stop a new church from being built in France. The clip shows the nun sprint across the muddy construction site of a Catholic centre in Saint-Pierre-de-Colombier in Ardèche, and charge towards one of the campaigners, grabbing him from behind. The protestor who is carrying two large cylinders in each hand as he attempts to run away from the nun, loses his balance as the nun grapples him towards the ground. Gripping tightly onto his jacket, the nun pulls the eco-protester...

Christian comedy. Good stuff.

Self-proclaimed “prophet” and “seer”, Micah Turnbo—who is straight out of the heretical IHOPKC and the Kansas City Prophets movement—has amassed a huge following on social media, but his spectacle is more theatrical than theological. Brandishing titles like “Seer Prophet” and “Pastor of Prophetic Ministry” at Vineyard Church Northwest in Cincinnati, Ohio, Turnbo might seem convincing to those who simply want their ears tickled. However, for those deeply rooted biblical convictions, Turnbo’s claims ring hollow. Turnbo’s background, according to his bio, includes growing up in a so-called “prophetic” family and attending schools like Cincinnati Christian University and International House of Prayer....

Many people are quite familiar with Martin Luther's famous 95 Theses that he nailed to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany in 1517, but have you ever heard about his other theses that were left out at the last minute? They include some real scorchers!In a Babylon Bee exclusive, we have obtained a list of theses Martin Luther thought twice about posting.If any pastor asks his congregation to say hi to each other in an extended greeting time, let him be anathema: Preach. Golf isn't a sport: Luther's argument appears to be that if overweight elderly people...

Pope Francis on July 9 named 21 new cardinals, including the Vatican's ambassador to the U.S., Archbishop Christophe Pierre; American-born Archbishop Robert Prevost, who oversees the appointments of Catholic bishops worldwide; and the new head of the Vatican's doctrinal office, Archbishop Victor Manuel Fernández. The pope made the announcement at the end of his weekly Sunday Angelus prayer from a window in the Apostolic Palace overlooking St. Peter's Square. Francis said he would install the new cardinals during a consistory at the Vatican on Sept. 30, saying these new cardinals represent the universality of the global church and the "inseparable...

The Ballast of FaithThe following is excerpted from Domestic Extremist: A Practical Guide to Winning the Culture War, out today from Regnery Publishing. I never, ever dreamed I would become a “person of faith.” My secular atheist childhood offered me no God, no church, no temple, no prayers, no heaven, no hell. It was like living in the song “Imagine,” but without Yoko Ono. Although we had lovely Christmas trees and all the trimmings, there was no God but Santa, and Rudolph was his messenger.When I say we were atheists, I mean it. My mother kept a folder in her...

[Satire] Pope Francis on the couchFinally, even Pope Francis has realised that there is something badly wrong with his psychological make-up, and has checked in with the great Dr Kopfschrumpfer, psychiatrist to the Vatican. "Now Holy Father, what seems to be the problem?" Help me, doctor, I have this obsessive phobia about everything that happened before I founded the Church in 2013. What is it that troubles you? There is terrible support for restorationism... indietrismo... backwardism... a nostalgic disease... we cannot turn back... I see. Have you considered discussing the issue with some friends? I don't have any friends, apart...

WORLD — Worship leaders worldwide were left stunned today after word began to spread that the Lord now regrets including the command "Sing unto the Lord a new song" in His Word after hearing the new songs Christians are currently singing. "God Almighty had really hoped the songwriters he had gifted in the creative arts would do better than they have," said spokesangel Gabriel in a statement to reporters. "I mean, we understand we're definitely spoiled with the truly astounding and unspeakably beautiful music we are blessed with in Heaven, but here on earth…‘Good, Good Father?' Really? We don't need...

How to shout in a black church

Egypt’s Mount Sinai – just a hop, skip and a jump from Israel – is the site most commonly known as the place where God appeared to Moses to give him the Ten Commandments – the primary covenant in Judaism, as well as the foundation for most other religions and many modern-day laws. Now, this mountain will be a venue for many nations to gather, to receive their newest creed emanating from the world’s highest and most exalted religion of “Climate Change.” Yes – climate change has become the latest addition to world religions, leaving others in the dust as...

Between November 6th and 18th, 2022, the UN climate conference COP 27 will take place on the Sinai Peninsula, in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Religious communities and religious leaders have a key role to play in addressing climate change and climate justice, which requires deep transformation within society. The knowledge of what changes are critically needed to diminish long-term harm to the planet is readily available. However, bringing about change in action demands deeper changes in attitude, a change of heart. This has been the domain of religions for millennia. Religions are sources of inspiration for the transformation of heart...

We get it. It's hard to read the divinely inspired word of the creator of the universe. He's so judgy! But, since your salvation might depend on it, you better get some great excuses ready to share on Judgment Day.Here are some of the best excuses for not reading your Bible:1. You just went to church last month and don't want to overdo it: You don't want to be an extremist!2. It's not as encouraging as Your Best Life Now: Joel Osteen's prose is to die for.3. If you take your eye off the Hot Pocket you're microwaving for one...

The Power of Praise. Paul and Silas were beaten for speaking the good news of Jesus Christ. Jesus carried, on the cross, all of mankind's sickness and sin; so when sent to prison, Paul and Silas started to praise God. Jesus took a beating and with a love greater than known or human or expression of love, took the hate and covered it with His blood, satisfying the Lord God Almighty. In the prison, when God heard His children praising Him in spite of horrible circumstances, He sent an earthquake and broke open the chains that bound the two men....
