@mycellcom Your PR team needs some work as well. Not having a daily update when service has been out for days is highly unacceptable. At least when people are without power for weeks the power company gives updates or you can see the power outage map and customers that have been restored.1

Pope Francis preaches a false gospel to young Catholics in Singapore:
"All the religions are a path to arrive at [or: reach] God. They are – I make a comparison – like different languages, different idioms [or: dialects] to arrive there. But God is God for everyone. And since God is God for everyone, we are all children of God. 'But my God is more important than yours!' Is this true? There is only one God, and we, our religions are languages, paths to arrive at [or: reach] God."*
This is an unfortunate pluralistic view that bears no resemblance to the apostolic witness to the gospel in the NT. I hope my FB Catholic friends will agree with this. It is absurd to view all religions as arriving at the same God, with the Christian view of God being "no more important" than any other religious path. There are outright contradictions between the various religions. The God of Jesus is very different from the God of Mohammed, and both of these are even more different than the polytheistic religions of the Sikhs and Hindus.
The primary NT witness is also that people become adopted children of God when they have faith in Christ. All people are children of God only in the diluted sense that all are created by God. But they do not enter into a covenant or kinship relationship with God until they believe in the gospel about Christ.
There are elements of Francis's message that agree with Paul's Areopagus (Athens) speech in Acts 17, making a bridge to pagans. Yet the most important part of Paul's speech there was left out by Francis: The imperative of proclaiming the gospel and the requisite response of faith in Christ. Without these there is no certain hope of salvation.
The New Testament witness has an operating missionary premise, namely that sans faith in Jesus, people perish. Faith in Christ is the only certain means of being saved. Everything else is wishful thinking. "There is salvation in no other one" than Jesus. "For there is not even any other name under heaven that has been given to humans by which it is necessary for us to be saved" (Acts 4:12). Only by calling upon the name of Jesus can anyone be placed on a certain path to God. If God has anything else up his proverbial sleave, he hasn't told us about it. You would be a fool to stake your eternal life on it something so insecure as a wish for which there is little or no support in the apostolic testimony to Christ.
*The original Italian reads:
//Tutte le religioni sono un cammino per arrivare a Dio. Sono – faccio un paragone – come diverse lingue, diversi idiomi, per arrivare lì. Ma Dio è Dio per tutti. E poiché Dio è Dio per tutti, noi siamo tutti figli di Dio. “Ma il mio Dio è più importante del tuo!”. È vero questo? C’è un solo Dio, e noi, le nostre religioni sono lingue, cammini per arrivare a Dio. Qualcuno sikh, qualcuno musulmano, qualcuno indù, qualcuno cristiano, ma sono diversi cammini.//
