POPE FRANCIS IS TRYING TO SELL YOU THE GOSPEL OF CHRISLAM, DONT YOU BELIEVE IT FOR A SECOND
Pope Francis is preaching Chrislam, if you are gullible enough to believe and follow what he is saying. It is a lie from the pit of Hell.
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26 (KJV)
Pope Francis is not speaking the truth when he says that Christians and Muslims are brother and sister, not by a long shot.
The religion of Islam clearly teaches that God did not have a son, much less an only begotten one. Islam reduces Jesus Christ to a mere prophet on par with Mohammed. The Bible says that whosoever denies that Jesus is the Son of God is of Antichrist!
This is what the Quran says about Jesus:
Further, that He may warn those (also) who say, God hath begotten a son: No knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had their fathers. It is a grievous thing that issues from their mouths as a saying what they say is nothing but falsehood! Sura 18:4-5
...and this is what the Bible says about Jesus:
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. Matthew 17:5 (KJV)
The Huffington Post reported today that as U.N. sharpshooters looked out from the tops of the minarets crowning the freshly repainted green and white mosque, hundreds of PK5s Muslims listened as Francis made an impassioned appeal for an end to the violence.
Christians and Muslims are brothers and sisters, he said after a speech by Imam Tidiani Moussa Naibi, one of the local religious leaders trying to foster dialogue.
Those who claim to believe in God must also be men and women of peace, he said, noting that Christians, Muslims and followers of traditional religions had lived together in peace for many years.
He appealed for an end to every act which, from whatever side, disfigures the face of God and whose ultimate aim is to defend particular interests by any and all means.
Allah is not the Arabic word for God, Allah is the name of the moon god from ancient Persia and was one of 360 gods that the pagan Arabs worshipped. Mohammed came along and, in a vain attempt to copy the Bible, began to teach about the one god named Allah.
Mohammed stole from the Bible where it suited him to do so, but mostly made stuff up from whole cloth like Joseph Smith would later do starting the Mormon religion in 1823.
Pope Francis is telling you a whopping lie when he attempts to equate Biblical Christianity with pagan Islam, and dont you believe it for a second.
Christianity and Islam are as far apart as the light is from the darkness. Far from being the religion of peace, Islam is the religion of the Devil.
(Click http://www.thereligionofpeace.com to see just how nasty and devilish Islam truly is.)
Jesus says that He and He alone is the one and only way to God, and He shares that title and distinction with no one.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 (KJV)
Sorry, Mohammed, but according to the Bible, you dont even figure into the equation. The God of the Bible has nothing in common with the Allah of Mohammeds imagination.
Pope Francis, why dont you get right with the real God and get saved?
Pope Francis IS NOT MY POPE.
MAY THE GOD OF THE HOLY BIBLE HAVE MERCY ON HIM!
Plus also Pope John Paul 2 was from Poland and had seen Russia and the communists up close and personal.
AMEN.
Boy do I miss Pope Benedict.
Perhaps he was poorly catechized.
An awful lot of Catholics are; you know.
Pope Francis, you do not realize that Muslims worship the devil.
Allah = SATAN.
I’m not so sure. See posts #40 and #57.

In contrast is the historical attitude of the Vatican, toward Jews and Israel.
Papal-Israel relations
Until 1948 the Pope was motivated by the traditional Vatican opposition to Zionism. Vatican opposition to a Jewish homeland stemmed largely from theological doctrines regarding Judaism.[40] In 1904, the Zionist leader Theodor Herzl obtained an audience with Pope Pius X in the hope of persuading the pontiff to support the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The pope's response was: "Non possumus"--"We cannot." In 1917, Pius X's successor, Pope Benedict XV, equally refused to support any concept for a Jewish state. Minerbi writes that when a League of Nations mandate were being proposed for Palestine, the Vatican was disturbed by the prospect of a (Protestant) British mandate over the Holy Land, but a Jewish state was anathema to it.[27][41]
On 22 June 1943, Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, the Apostolic Delegate to Washington D.C. wrote to US President Franklin Roosevelt, asking him to prevent the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. ...
If the greater part of Palestine is given to the Jewish people, this would be a severe blow to the religious attachment of Catholics to this land. To have the Jewish people in the majority would be to interfere with the peaceful exercise of these rights in the Holy Land already vested in Catholics.
It is true that at one time Palestine was inhabited by the Hebrew Race, but there is no axiom in history to substantiate the necessity of a people returning to a country they left nineteen centuries before.[42]
The Vatican view of the Near East was dominated by a Cold War perception that Arab Muslims are conservative but religious, whereas Israeli Zionists are modernist but atheists. The Vatican's then Foreign Minister, Domenico Tardini (without being even a bishop, but a close collaborator of Pius XII) said to the French ambassador in November 1957, according to an Israeli diplomatic dispatch from Rome to Jerusalem:
"I have always been of the opinion that there never was an overriding reason for this state to be established. It was the fault of the western states. Its existence is an inherent risk factor for war in the Middle East. Now, Israel exists, and there is certainly no way to destroy it, but every day we pay the price of this error."[45]
by initially siding with Palestinian claims for compensations on political, social and financial levels, the Vatican shaped its Middle Eastern policy since 1948 upon two pillars. One was based on political and theological reservations against Zionism,... the Holy See has also maintained reservations of its own. The more established the Zionist Yishuv became in Mandatory Palestine, the more political reservations the Vatican added to its initial theological inhibitions.[51]
On 26 May 1955, when the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra performed Beethoven's Seventh Symphony at the Vatican as an act of respect for Pius XII, the Vatican still refrained from mentioning the name of the State, preferring instead to describe the orchestra as a collection of "Jewish musicians of fourteen different nationalities."[53]
Paul VI was Pope from 21 June 1963 to 6 August 1978. He strongly defended inter-religious dialogue in the spirit of Nostra Aetate. He was also the first Pope to mention the Palestinian people by name...On 15 January 1973, the Pope met Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir at the Vatican, which was the first meeting between a Pope and an Israeli Prime Minister. At the meeting, the Pope brought up the issues of peace in the Middle East, refugees and the status of the holy places, but no agreement was reached.[58] According to Meir's own account of the meeting, the Pope criticized the Israeli government for its treatment of the Palestinians, and she said in reply: Your Holiness, do you know what my earliest memory is? A pogrom in Kiev. When we were merciful and when we had no homeland and when we were weak, we were led to the gas chambers.[59]
Relations since 1993[edit]
The opening towards the State of Israel by the Vatican was partially a result of Israel's effective control over the entire Holy City since 1967. This forced the Vatican to introduce a pragmatic dimension to its well-known declaratory policy of political denial. Hence, since 1967, Vatican diplomacy vis-Ã -vis Israel began to waver between two parameters:
A policy of strict and consequent non-recognition of Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem, far beyond the usual interpretation of international law, as the Holy See still embraces its own ideas regarding the special status of Jerusalem.
A pragmatic policy, through which Catholic interests can best be served by having a working relationship with the party who exercises effective authority and control in Jerusalem.
The establishment of full diplomatic relations in 1993 94, on the other hand, was a belated political consequence of the theological change towards Judaism as reflected in Nostra Aetate. It was also a result of the new political reality, which began with the Madrid COnference and later continued with the Oslo peace process, after which the Vatican could not continue to ignore a State that even the Palestinians had initiated formal relations with.
Pope Benedict XVI has declared that he wishes to maintain a positive Christian-Jewish and Vatican-Israel relationship. Indeed, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Jewish state, Benedict stated: "The Holy See joins you in giving thanks to the Lord that the aspirations of the Jewish people for a home in the land of their fathers have been fulfilled,"[72] which may be seen as a theological justification of the return of the Jewish People to Israel indeed, an acceptance that has placed all previous Catholic denials of Zionism in the shade. On the other hand, he has also stressed the political neutrality of the Holy See in internal Mideast conflicts. Like John Paul II, he was disappointed by the non-resolution of the 1993 Fundamental Accord; and like his predecessor, he also expressed support for a Palestinian state alongside Israel. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_See%E2%80%93Israel_relations
Evangelical support for Jews.
In contrast, 46% of white evangelical (blacks only make up 6% of evangelicals) Protestants, versus 33% of Prots and only 21% of Catholics say that the U.S. is not providing enough support for Israel. (2014) - http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/02/27/strong-support-for-israel-in-u-s-cuts-across-religious-lines/
As for the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, asked whether they sympathize with either side, 72% of white evangelicals sided with Israel, versus 56% of Prots and 46% of Caths overall. - http://www.people-press.org/files/legacy-pdf/3-19-13%20Foreign%20Policy%20Release.pdf
Of course, this is consistent with the stats which shows 82% of white evangelical Protestants say that Israel was given to the Jewish people by God, versus 64% of Prots and just 34% of white Catholics, while 45% of Catholics outright deny that it was (others do not know). - http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/10/03/more-white-evangelicals-than-american-jews-say-god-gave-israel-to-the-jewish-people/ Also, Pope says denying Israelâs right to exist is anti-Semitism
Daniel - I Greatly appreciate your helping us understand just how ungodly and corrupt the Vatican crime syndicate is, right from its unholy inception to now.
Domino go stick’em up, domino go frisk’em.
It always bugs me when they post under caucus. poor tongue in cheek humor. They wouldn’t have claimed that thread.
You forgot the asterisks based on RC teaching.
* Only when the pope is speaking ex cathedra (but which statements belong to that class is subject to debate)
*Encyclicals, if perhaps not Bulls, also require assent, and are protected from salvific error.
*Basically all formal papal public teaching on faith and morals requires assent, and is protected from salvific error
*Social teaching is also requires assent, and is protected from salvific error.
* Protection from error refers only to words, not deeds (the latter being what Biblically reveals what is really believed).
There may be more.

How about Reformed Jews? How many of them say that Israel is given by God to the Jews? I’d bet close to zero. They are pretty much anti-Zionist, IIRC.
Sad laugh...
