ISTANBUL (AP) — Pope Francis stood Saturday for two minutes of silent prayer facing east in one of Turkey's most important mosques, a powerful vision of Christian-Muslim understanding at a time when neighboring countries are experiencing violent Islamic assault on Christians and religious minorities.

If he didn’t go to declare Jesus Christ to them, at best he is wasting his time and at worst he is giving them false assurance in their satanic beliefs.

I was just going to post this, you beat me to it. Great minds.......

[bunkerhill7]

If Pope Francis would just sprinkle a little Holy Water in there, it would set the whole damn mosque on fire

[piusv]

I just think our minds and eyes are awake.

How many converts do you imagine he got with this visit? Do you suppose he snagged any imams? Conversely, how many of the faithful do you think he offended by standing with and praying with agents of darkness?

In my readings and exposure, I suspect those imams believe they’ve converted Pope Francis, not the other way around.

The Pope has aligned himself with an anti-Christ religion which fully opposes the God of the Bible....

Anyone who denies the fundamental doctrines of the Word of God... and teaches heresy,.... is a deceiver..... All Muslims are deceivers..... 1st John 2:22 plainly calls them “liars” and “antichrists”:

“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”

Muslims clearly outright deny Jesus is the son of God.... that he was NOT crucified for the sins of mankind. In fact they outright DENY Jesus Christ as so making them anti-Christ....:

‘Isa (Jesus) was simply a created human being, and a slave of Allah’...An-Nisa’ 4:172

‘…in reality he was not killed or crucified, and those who said he was crucified lied.’....An-Nisa’ 4:157

So the Pope in aligning with ‘known’ anti-Christs strictly forbidden by the God of the Bible...fellow shipping with them on what they have in common...and worshiping with them has denied the Christ of the Bible.

So the Pope would endorse by his presence a ‘religion’ that would eventually have him beheaded?

Screwy Pope, this one.

Whenever you put it in religion you put everyone at risk of being banned by the religion moderators. The religion moderators do not tolerate ideas that differ from theirs.

That is nonsense. These have overall been the most tolerant yet judicious mods i know of in my experience on such forums as this. What did you perhaps get called on that made you think otherwise?

Read the simple and fair rules and you should be fine.

....” I suspect those imams believe they’ve converted Pope Francis, not the other way around.”....

Oh absolutely or in the very process of at the very least....that is why they “entertain” other faiths.....it's always with the idea of converting them.....even the Muslims are seeing this as the Pope converting, not just the Imams.

Imam's know well how to ‘impersonate’ whatever it takes to deceive the eyes of the world.....especially those of the faith who are so very easily misled today. Many who claim to be Christians, but are not, encourage or make excuses for these inter-faith connections, but this is another way for Christians to identify the sheep from the goats. Those who are encouraging these are not the Lord's.

FReeper Catholics to defend this action?

I left the RCC a long time ago for various reasons. This pope’s actions confirms I made the right decision.

Thank you Jesus!

Romans 10:9-10
John 6:29

Btw, go back and read the interview with the Italian atheist. The atheist says “ my friends say you will try to CONVERT me” and Francis then famously replies with his prothelytism is nonsense quote.
You will notice he didn’t say I will try to “ evangelize” you, did he?
Apparently he had no concern for the lost soul of the atheist or he thinks an atheist is fine as long as they are a “good” atheist?

“Not exactly a fair exchange.”

Truth. And yet that is exactly how being “unequally yoked” works. Those we “reach out to” bite our beckoning hands, grab ‘em, then drag us into THEIR world.

I have moments of hopefulness that some Muslims will be saved by Jesus Christ. What a damnable invention Islam is! It’s inventor is indeed damned, but is currently running to a fro seeking whom he may devour. I long for the Day Jesus destroys him forever. Even so, Come! Lord Jesus!

FReeper Catholics to defend this action?

Faithful Catholics aren't required to defend every dumb or evil or wrongheaded thing a Pope does, any more than patriotic Americans are required to defend every dumb or evil or wrongheaded thing a President does.

Muzzies’s care nothing about mankind except to get them under Shariah Law and submission to the Imam's.......they go after prisoners, single mothers and all those down on their luck because they know how vulnerable those people are to believing their lies.

They are also actively pursuing people who have guns and access to....police officers...military people and any group of people that will assist them when the time comes...no to mention invading Government offices....Stealth Jihad is alive and moving in USA
