It looks to me that Rome isn’t the only thing burning these days. The Vatican is going up in smoke, also. First the vatican reconizing, evolution-creation theory. Know, that Allah is God according to the Pope.
Not only did the Islamic faith deny Jesus as Lord, but our killing christian and jews. Heirs by faith and blood line, to the kingdom of God or is it Allah? Im comfused.....Just kidding. But only the just shall live by faith, not by denomination. And faith comes by the hearing of God word, or was that Allah. Darn I can not remeber. And false christ abound everywhere both in body and word. Some times in our own backyards.
The devil has clearly won this round. And kicking ass on the protestant side of the fence, also. And the so call Pope has lost it, clearly. Despite all the flower words to cover it up.
Dave, chill.
The pope rejected evolution as nihilist. It’s intelligent design which is being discussed, and even that’s gotten mostly criticism.
Second, while the pope does state that Moslems are referring to the God of Abraham when refer to Allah, he presents Islam as a bastardization (my words) of Christianity: a lie, a perversion. Even his apology for echoing a medieval patriarch who said that Islam has created nothing new but evil and bloodshed did not contain any retraction.
Oh, Dave... I just read the original thread. No wonder you’re rattled. Don’t worry. The author is just carrying on the work of Jack Chick, the most infamous religious-conspiracy lunatic of all time.
One last comment. For an example of how the article is full of nonsense, the opening section quotes, in feigned horror, what appears to be the Pope joining his prayers with Muslims:
>> In the name of this one God, I turn to the people of deep and ancient religious traditions, the people of Kazakhstan. <<
Out of context, this looks like he is simply lumping Christians and Muslims together. But he’s not. He continues:
>> “I turn as well to those who belong to no religion and to those who are searching for truth... There is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” <<
Islam is no more one with Christianity than atheists are; he is proclaiming Christ to Islam and atheist alike.
Even the article’s attribution, to “the Pope” is misleading. Not that it would matter if this were a doctrinal statement, but “the Pope” referred to is not Pope Benedict XVI. It is John Paul II, immediately after September 11th, having the balls to walk among the Muslims to proclaim Christ, and that the way of the God of Abraham is the way of Love, a direct rebuke to Wahabbism’s god of destruction.
