Pope includes Hindu verses in prayers on Good Friday

HINDUS HAVE applauded Pope Benedict for including verse from ancient Hindu scripture Upanishads in the Good Friday Meditations and Prayers led by him at Roman Colosseum.
Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that it was a remarkable gesture from Pope and invited him to study more ancient Hindu scriptures, which were very rich in philosophical thought. He or other Hindu scholars would gladly provide the help and resources in this regard, if asked, Zed added.
Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, also commended His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI for inclusion of a verse from Indias Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagores Gitanjali and reference to peace icon Mahatma Gandhi in these prayers.
This years 'Way of the Cross at the Colesseum' Meditations and Prayers on Good Friday, led by Pope, included well-known verse from Brahadaranyakopanishad (Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, from death to immortality), line from Tagores Gitanjali (Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service) and reference to Mahatma Gandhi.
Rajan Zed stressed that all religions should work together for a just and peaceful world. Dialogue would bring us mutual enrichment, he added.
Pope Benedict heads the Roman Catholic Church, which is the largest of the Christian denominations. Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about one billion adherents and moksha (liberation) is its ultimate goal.

Anti-Catholics would be so funny if they werent so ridiculous.
1 Cor 2:14 "The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are Spiritually discerned.
With your own words you have verified that God's Word is correct about HIS WORD.
Catholics are ANTI-WORD; therefore, they live in deception. Nothing more ridiculous than that considering the ETERNAL ramifications.

Whose accusing the Freeper — I’m telling them that their group worships Satan. And that’s allowed according to your rules

Huh? How is stating 'your own words you have verified that God's word is correct' making it personal????? Do you have something against God's Word? Did you write God's Word? What?

Thankfully God will do the judging.
According to HIS WORD - not man-made doctrine.
That's a warning - no second chance saying 'but I was taught...the catechism says....the pope said...'.
It will be ALL about what HIS WORD says, The FINAL AUTHORITY.

Valid points — and this thread went off the rails nearly from post 1 — it’s already a war of ad homineums on this cess-pit of a thread.

Read the Religion Moderator's page:
On all threads, but particularly open threads, posters must never make it personal. Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of making it personal. Making a thread about another Freeper is making it personal.He made it about me, instead of arguing against Catholic beliefs.

Hey, dig deeper, why don’t you? If you can’t play by the rules, then you can find somewhere else to post. The RM sets the rules, and you must abide by them.

Exactly! Can’t have them proving God’s Word is correct. Amazing!

I repeat the benevolent dictator, the Religion Moderator's ruling:
Making a thread about another Freeper is making it personal.
As Rush often says, "Learn it, love it, live it."

He made it about me, instead of arguing against Catholic beliefs. No, with all due respect I still don't see it.
He said: "With your own words you have verified that God's Word is correct about HIS WORD."
All he told you was that you had VERIFIED GOD'S WORD. That's all I see. I would consider it an honor if somebody told me that, not an insult!
To: Pyro7480
If you take God's Word as a personal affront - go where only the Catechism is discussed. Because God's Word is...
For the Word of God is LIVING and ACTIVE. SHARPER than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.Heb 4:12
IT'S POWERFUL and maybe too powerful for some to bear.

RM -- you said " narrowly post that photo to another Freeper, personally, it is flame baiting, trouble-making - it IS making it personal."
And this is an example of this.

Note that this is one of the multiple times that the poster keeps flame-baiting and choosing varied virulent sites. And it’s not just this thread.

Good advice - Learn GOD'S WORD, Love IT, Live IT!

Get OVER yourself! It's NOT all about you. Victim hood is so liberal - all whine and no substance and to get off topic.

Besides . . . I suspce that few RCs would scan through 20,000 pics for a topic. Ha! RC or not, I don't know anyone with the patience to scan through 20K images! I've been told to check out Picasa too, going to have to breakdown and actually do some research now, I blame you ;)
