Salvation is NOT group think. It IS individual. Each believer must decide on his/her own what God is leading them to and through. What is happening in this present evil world, and what will be happening until the moment Christ returns, is in God’s hands, not the Pope’s. “Putting others through suffering”? Isn’t that between them and God, according to His knowledge, will, purpose, and grace? Or does the vatican have input into who should suffer where, when, how, and why?
What presumption to think anyone has the authority to incite violence against a group of innocent people while they sit in their comfy home.
What absolute rubbish.
Go to Islam and do that and take martyrdom, but to claim that one should proclaim the death of Islam in writing or on the television or on the internet to a bunch of murderous jihadists in Cairo is to sign a death warrent, needlessly I might add, for the sake of being a warrior for God.
Those who espouse this are no better than the Islamists themselves.
Every Christian should be ready to face his maker, but the IDEA that YOU can sit here and freely sign another’s death sentence is a sin.
