Amen brother! I'm Catholic too, and these people, whether they realize it in this generation or not, are and have always been God's chosen people.

Not so the Mooslims. Their god is a hater and his followers are haters too, all of them. They would be thrilled if they could murder every last Jew on the planet and that goes for Christians too. Keep up the good comments!

All the best...

Food for thought From Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan:

Part III. Of a Christian Commonwealth.

Chap. xxxviii. Of Eternal Life, Hell, Salvation, and Redemption.

[12] And first, for the tormentors, we have their nature and properties exactly and properly delivered by the names of the Enemy (or Satan), the Accuser (or Diabolus), the Destroyer (or Abaddon). Which significant names (Satan, Devil, Abaddon) set not forth to us any individual person, as proper names do, but only an office or quality, and are therefore appellatives, which ought not to have been left untranslated (as they are in the Latin and modern Bibles), because thereby they seem to be the proper names of demons, and men are the more easily seduced to believe the doctrine of devils, which at that time was the religion of the Gentiles, and contrary to that of Moses, and of Christ.

[13] And because by the Enemy, the Accuser, and Destroyer, is meant the enemy of them that shall be in the kingdom of God, therefore if the kingdom of God after the resurrection be upon the earth (as in the former Chapter I have shewn by Scripture it seems to be), the Enemy and his kingdom must be on earth also. For so also was it in the time before the Jews had deposed God. For God's kingdom was in Palestine*, and the nations round about were the kingdoms of the Enemy; and consequently, by Satan is meant any earthly enemy of the Church.

* "Palestine" meaning Israel.

Bump from another rabidly pro-Israel Roman Catholic. The Jews are our elder brothers in faith and still part of God's plan. The Muslims are renegade cousins who play with matches and burn the house down when the adults are away.
