[Gamecock]

Right out of the Catholic Catechism!

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Great article, GC.

This spin on Islam is perfectly in line with what Pope and the Vatican declared, "together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day." It looks as if the Pope, the politicians, and the Muslims continue to conceal successfully the history of Mohammed and the contents of his Qur'an.

[P-Marlowe]

The Roman Catholic Church officially declares that the One God of Holy Scripture is also the God of Islam.

Can't wait to see the Pope scream Allāhu Akbar!

Apparently Allah, who has no son, is the same God the Catholics believe in.

[Theoden]

This article is so full of flaws, misrepresentations of fact and outright fallacies that it looks like it was written by a retarded schizophrenic on crack.

Posting trash like this shows the world what kind of “Christianity” you and your ilk represent. Keep up the good work, it’s better for our cause than any apologetics material that we could muster!

Fortunately Pope Benedict has a much better grasp of the situation. Besides, the authors deliberately confuse interfaith prayer with syncretism. (Incidentally, the authors also misuse the word ecumenism, apparently falsely believing it is synonymous with interfaith. Activities which are among different denominations within the same faith, Christianity, are ecumenical. Any papal statements on ecumenism implicitly exclude Islam.)

>> To quote a Catholic news organization, “Our Lady of Fatima is really Fatima, daughter of the Prophet Mohammed <<

No sources. Typical. I’ll flat out call the authors liars to their face on this one.

>> The Pope is not a first among equals as a bishop. Frankly, he is not even a bishop in the biblical sense of the term. Karol Wojtyla is the head of a totalitarian hierarchy. Its position as the restored Holy Roman Empire is depicted in the Bible. <<

The author’s agenda comes forth...

>> He has his own secular government of Vatican City and more property worldwide than any other person on the planet. <<

Vatican holdings are quite minimal. Dioceses are legally separate entities.

>> If contemporary Evangelical leaders and their disciples discount and ignore these utterly basic prophetic and historical facts, they must understand they are placing themselves outside the stream of historic biblical Christianity. <<

I suggest that protestant churches clean their own houses. 80% of Presbyterians in America belong to the PCUSA, the most notoriously anti-everything-good-and-holy church in America.

>> If Evangelicals to continue to fraternize with Rome, it will mark a major, irrevocable betrayal of the Gospel testimony toward the poor deluded adherents of Romanism and leave them languishing in the claws of the devil. <<

Didn’t “Rome as the Great Apostasy” lose all its cache about 500 years ago? After all, Protestantism’s historical revisionism relies on the assertion that there were non-Romans who were faithful Christians throughout history. But these assertions are so sweeping, that all but the ancient Gnostics and the Albi pretty much stand condemned by it. And I don’t think that modern Protestants want to assert that the Albi were closer to authentic Christianity then, say, Augustine.

You remember your hero, Augustine, don’t you, Gamecock? That brilliant and passionate defender of Roman supremacy you love to quote?

After these authors were exposed for being the horrific liars they are, I was about to post how fascinating it was that no-one made the simple argument, "Oops, I didn't recognize that the authors had, in their zeal, made one error," and then try to hone in on a specific general point.

Instead, the Calvinists have defended the statement with the zeal of Catholics defending an ecumenical council or one of the very few actual infallible proclamations of the Pope. In fact, I was going to make that exact comparison, so I figured I would just check out who these servants of the Father of lies were. I only had to focus my thoughts on the word, "Berean,"; I didn't have to click. I remembered who they are:

A while ago, I had asked if there was a single prominent Protestant who had been a convert from Catholicism. I was directed to Richard Bennett's Berean Ministries. Bennett claims to be a Catholic, and his ministry promotes heavily the anecdotes of supposed former priests and nuns.

That's what is so special about Richard Bennett! Since Jack Chick's freind, Alberto Rivera, has been exposed as not a priest at all, but a con artist guilty of fraud, credit card theft, and passing off bad checks, there's been no source for radical Calvinists to invent stories about saving priests from the hellfire that thay imagine Catholicism leads to.

Sure enough, his web site is full of nonsense about Catholics killing 50 million people, etc.
