One World Religion: Pope Francis Says All Major Religions Are 'Meeting God In Different Ways'

A new video has just been released in which Pope Francis very clearly expresses his belief that all of the major religions are different paths to the same God. He says that while people from various global faiths may be “seeking God or meeting God in different ways” that it is important to keep in mind that “we are all children of God”. This is the most recent example that shows that the Pope has completely abandoned any notion that a relationship with God is available only through Jesus Christ. As he has done throughout his papacy, he continues to lay the groundwork for the coming one world religion, and yet hardly anyone seems upset by this.

When I first heard of this new video, I was so stunned that I thought that it might be a joke. But the truth is that this video is very real. The following comes from an article that was put out by Catholic News Agency…

The Pope's first-ever video message on his monthly prayer intentions was released Tuesday, highlighting the importance of interreligious dialogue and the beliefs different faith traditions hold in common, such as the figure of God and love.

"Many think differently, feel differently, seeking God or meeting God in different ways. In this crowd, in this range of religions, there is only one certainty that we have for all: we are all children of God," Pope Francis said in his message, released Jan. 6, the feast of the Epiphany.

But it isn’t just Pope Francis speaking in this video. In fact, one section of the video features leaders from various global religions expressing faith in their respective deities. The following comes from an article about this new video that was posted on Christian News Network…

The video then features clips of those from different world religions declaring belief in their various deities.

"I have confidence in Buddha," a female lama announces.

"I believe in God," a rabbi affirms.

"I believe in Jesus Christ," a priest states.

"I believe in Allah," an Islamic leader declares.

Are you shocked yet?

The Pope closes the video with an appeal for people from every religion to talk with one another and to work with one another. Here is more from Catholic News Agency…

Later on, after the Pope affirms that all, regardless of their religious profession, are children of God, the faith leaders state their common belief in love.

Pope Francis closes the video by expressing his hope that viewers "will spread my prayer request this month: that sincere dialogue among men and women of different faiths may produce fruits of peace and justice. I have confidence in your prayers."

If you have not seen this video yet, it is definitely worth a few minutes of your time. You can watch it right here…

Of course this is not the first time that Pope Francis has done something like this. Very early in his papacy, he authorized “Islamic prayers and readings from the Quran” at the Vatican for the first time ever. And as I documented in a previous article entitled “In New York, Pope Francis Embraced Chrislam And Laid A Foundation For A One World Religion“, during his visit to St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan he made it very clear that he believes that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. The following is how he began his address…

I would like to express two sentiments for my Muslim brothers and sisters: Firstly, my greetings as they celebrate the feast of sacrifice. I would have wished my greeting to be warmer. My sentiments of closeness, my sentiments of closeness in the face of tragedy. The tragedy that they suffered in Mecca.

In this moment, I give assurances of my prayers. I unite myself with you all. A prayer to almighty god, all merciful.

In Islam, one of Allah’s primary titles is “the all-merciful one”. If you doubt this, just do a Google search. And this certainly was not the first time that Pope Francis has used such language. For example, check out the following excerpt from remarks that he made during his very first ecumenical meeting as Pope…

I then greet and cordially thank you all, dear friends belonging to other religious traditions; first of all the Muslims, who worship the one God, living and merciful, and call upon Him in prayer, and all of you. I really appreciate your presence: in it I see a tangible sign of the will to grow in mutual esteem and cooperation for the common good of humanity.

The Catholic Church is aware of the importance of promoting friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions – I wish to repeat this: promoting friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions – it also attests the valuable work that the Pontifical Council for interreligious dialogue performs.

Are you starting to get the picture?

Pope Francis believes that all religions are different paths to the same God, and he is working hard to lay a foundation for the coming one world religion.

After watching this most recent video, I don’t know how anyone can possibly deny that.

However, there are some religious people that Pope Francis does not like. Just recently, he referred to Christian fundamentalism as “a sickness“, and he made it clear that there was no room for it in Catholicism.

So precisely what is “fundamentalism”?

Google defines it as “a form of a religion, especially Islam or Protestant Christianity, that upholds belief in the strict, literal interpretation of scripture.”

Does this mean that Pope Francis is against any Christian that believes in a literal interpretation of the Bible?

That does appear to be what he is saying, and without a doubt those would be the Christians that would be against the kind of one world religion that he appears to be promoting.

Nearly 2000 years ago, the Apostle John warned us that a one world religion was coming, and now we can see that it is coming to fruition.

So what will the end result of all of this be?

Error.

[Biggirl]

He is looking to retire. He said early last year that his time as Pope will be a short one.

[ebb tide]

He said early last year that his time as Pope will be a short one.

I pray that he voluntarily resigns before God "retires" him.

No wonder he is such a good buddy of bammy.

[Thank You Rush]

obozo must love this guy. Cover all the bases - how can you go wrong? EXCEPT by tossing out your own belief system and just go with the crowd! He should be tossed out of the Vatican. Has a Pope ever been fired?

[Old Yeller]

Religion is man seeking God. Christianity is God seeking man.

Christianity is God showing grace and mercy to man. God does not need anything, seeking man is indicative of a need. Which is not an attribute of God.

[Old Yeller]

We ALL are God’s children, but all religions do NOT get you to God!!

Wrong! All are CREATED by God. Only regenerated believers are adopted as children of God.

[Blood of Tyrants]

No, God doesn’t NEED man, but as the Creator who loves man, he dent Jesus to bridge the gap between God and man. So God initiated the relationship even though he didn’t need it.

The answer to your question is here: http://en.denzingerbergoglio.com/those-who-are-christians-with-the-bible-and-those-who-are-muslims-with-the-koran-with-the-faith-you-have-received-from-your-fathers-there-is-one-single-god-the-same-god/

[daniel1212]

We ALL are God’s children, but all religions do NOT get you to God!!

Wrong! All are CREATED by God. Only regenerated believers are adopted as children of God.

Correct. All are creations but spiritually are not children of God. Thus one must be born of the Spirit as those in Acts 10, having their hearts purified by faith.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44)

Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (Ephesians 2:2)

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. (Ephesians 2:12-13)

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, (Ephesians 1:5)

And what the pope conveyed in that video is similar to what he said elsewhere:

“The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone! And this Blood makes us children of God of the first class! We are created children in the likeness of God and the Blood of Christ has redeemed us all! And we all have a duty to do good. And this commandment for everyone to do good, I think, is a beautiful path towards peace. If we, each doing our own part, if we do good to others, if we meet there, doing good, and we go slowly, gently, little by little, we will make that culture of encounter: we need that so much. We must meet one another doing good. ‘But I don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist!’ But do good: we will meet one another there.”" - Pope Francis — http://en.radiovaticana.va/news/2013/05/22/pope_at_mass:_culture_of_encounter_is_the_foundation_of_peace/en1-694445

The LORD Jesus Christ who is God, said “I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man or woman comes to the Father except by Me.” (John 14:6)

[daniel1212]

Maybe you guys could help me - It's been said that allah is the islamic moon god - is there some source to which anyone can point? Is it anywhere in the koran or hadith or sura that mohammed took one of the pagan gods they worshiped at the time, the mood god, and called it allah? The reason I'm asking is that the Catholic Church says that muslims & Christians worship the same God, which I don't believe is true. I've read that mohammad took one of the 13(?) pagan gods they worshiped at that time, the moon god, to worship as their one god. If so, where can I find the source?

Whether Allah is really the moon god or not, he is not the God of the Bible, or even an "unknown" ambiguous god that may represent the real one, as instead Allah is a doctrinally defined demon-god who clearly contradicts the Bible. And God is no schizoid. See here and study here by the grace of God.

But yes, the CCC does affirm that Muslims adore/worship the same god/God as Catholics, not matter how they try to spin it. As devout RCS must.

John 14:6 applies. Francis is overruled.

Agree. Someone should buy that fellow a Bible.

I wonder if the pope feels pressure to be politically correct all the time because of the funding. Catholic Charities in the USA receives billions of taxpayer dollars from our government. Much of the funding is for placing immigrants and refugees.

The deal with the funding they receive from our government is that they not discuss their faith. What kind of a deal is that? Catholic Charities performing services where they’re not allowed to talk about their faith? That wouldn’t work for me and my faith.

They’ve received $billions and $billions from our government. My guess is that other international bodies and politically correct groups provide a lot of funding too.

This is backed up by Romans 8 .
Only the regenerated are adopted children of God.
No regeneration , no adoption.
If you are trusting in anything but Jesus blood to cleanse you from your unrighteousness you are not regenerated and God has not put his Spirit upon you.
You might have religion but you are not adopted.

(Romans 8:14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

(Romans 8:15) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

(Romans 8:16) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

(Romans 8:17) And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Thanks to both of you for your help. Daniel, I think I found what I was looking for in your 2nd "here":

"Alihah or Allah The idol worshipers encouraged people to reject Mohammed's teachings saying that he has made the gods (alihah) into one deity (Allah), which is nothing but an invention (38:4-7)."

History records quite a few popes who SHOULD have been; but CAN they (other than DEATH?)

I have no idea.

Is Pope Francis the Anti Christ?

THE?

Here are ALL of the Scriptures than mention AC...

 

      

 

These are the only places that antichrist is mentioned.

 

 

 

1 John 2:18
  Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
 
1 John 2:22
Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist —denying the Father and the Son.
 
1 John 4:3
but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist , which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
 
2 John 1:7
I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist .
