"Instead of condemning one thing, why pope no condemn other thing?"

"Instead of meeting with one person, why pope no meet with other person?"
@JoeSmosyi@XSpecialHorses@sneako I’d agree in terms of the Jesus’ teachings. However if you look at the Old Testament there are examples which do not fit in the context of today.
For example; selling daughters and sons into servitude
Or slavery.
Who’s acting that out in today’s context?
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
@JoeSmosyi@XSpecialHorses@sneako I agree with you in a sense. I think the logic needs to be applied to today’s time and context. Maybe the extremists are applying the ancient words to today’s context and that’s why it doesn’t not fit or work for the most part
@JoeSmosyi@XSpecialHorses@sneako Jesus will not murder the sinners, that’s contradictory to his teachings. The point is that eternal darkness awaits the sinners.
@JoeSmosyi@XSpecialHorses@sneako I’ve not read the Quran no. There will be extremists everywhere in every religion. I know many Muslims who are peaceful and pleasant to be around. All the ones I know in fact.
@JoeSmosyi@XSpecialHorses@sneako This is not common place. I’m not sure about the covering up and all that you mentioned. I don’t know how true that is.
Again, bad eggs exist.
Islam can be peaceful in civilised societies though. You note ISIS and Nigeria. These are generally 3rd world examples.
@JoeSmosyi@XSpecialHorses@sneako True peace comes from Jesus Christ - correct.
Jesus accepted others is the point. He dined with sinners, the prostitutes, the tax collectors etc. without judgement.
I have no interest in attacking you. It’s against my religion.
@JoeSmosyi@XSpecialHorses@sneako Pirates? More slurs. The Church believes homosexuality is a sin. The pope promotes peace with Islam rather than violence. Peace is the message of Jesus. You reference the bible and your opinion on the verse. Your opinion on it, ignores the full context of Christ’s teachings.
@JoeSmosyi@XSpecialHorses@sneako Your tone is what I expect from someone who cannot accept that others have different beliefs. Common. True peace is found by accepting people who are different from you. I hope you find peace.
You continually attack my church. I’ve made no judgement of yours.
@JoeSmosyi@XSpecialHorses@sneako Do you not think it’s funny that your religion is derived from Catholicism? First it was Catholicism then broke away many variants of Protestantism and then came along the mormans.
I could make the argument that all after Catholicism is ‘woke nonsense’ new liberating ideas 🤣
@JoeSmosyi@XSpecialHorses@sneako That’s correct. They are different because of the different times. The gospel is the same but the times meant that interpretation and understandings were different.
The Catholic Church is not liberal I can assure you. It rejects the far left and the far right.
