Who knew heathen religious holidays and fasts can yield spiritual fruit outside of Christianity? Thanks Francis for letting us know!
Joh_15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Everybody LOVES Ramadan.
And representatives of Islam will wish Christians a fruitful Lent and Jews a blessed Passover.
There are millions of Christians in Muslim lands. If he said it the way you would maybe like him to say it Thousands to Millions would be slaughtered. It’s easy being a Cyberspace Christian. The Pope has more difficult job than you and I have.
Ended something like this:
If he doesn’t have anything intelligent to say he should simply refrain from speaking and smile pleasantly or something.
If he said it the way you would maybe like him to say it Thousands to Millions would be slaughtered.
Oh, so he is intimidated by them and wants to make nice with them. It's a shame he has no use for TRUTH but bows to'fear of man'! Jesus is TRUTH and He walked in Truth ALL the time.
It’s easy being a Cyberspace Christian.
And a Cyberspace Catholic - just agree with 'your leader'.
apart from God men’s good works are like soiled, dirty rags.
he didn’t have to mention ramadan at all. that is the truth.
ummm, you do know they are already slaughtering christians at a decent pace in many middle east and african muslim countries right now, yes?!?
“There are millions of Christians in Muslim lands. If he said it the way you would maybe like him to say it Thousands to Millions would be slaughtered. It’s easy being a Cyberspace Christian. The Pope has more difficult job than you and I have.”
So you’re saying that the Pope said that they will reap spiritual fruits from their heathen holy month just to keep them from killing Christians?
How about say nothing? Or, perhaps, do what Peter did in the old days for those who threatened to kill and maim the body?
Act_2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Really What’s your Truth? At least we know the Pope. Who are you Mister most christian with the phony name? What’s your real name brave one? Joke?
I know JESUS as that's what it's all about. Fellowship with Him and do what He says.
"Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who practice evil!'"
God's Word is the final authority.
Okay? MR Anonymous? Your a brave One? lol!!
doesn't say what spiritual fruit (good or bad) or by whom... in short it's a nice platitude that says nothing really but has meat at the end with even to the spilling of a brother’s blood!
