@mainelyfree76@BishopBarron You're correct. The pope isn't mentioned the Bible. Nor is the Trinity (introduced by Tertullian & Origen in the 3rd century), nor is the doctrine of the original sin & that we all carry the burden today (introduced by St Augustine in the 5th century).
Do we really follow Jesus?
@314DavidHoffman@DerekHjohnson@mshale58@BishopBarron I've been reading about Islam lately.
@314DavidHoffman Did you know that Islam teaches freedom of religion & respect for other religons.
Did you know Muslims follow Jesus & his example? Do you expect Jesus to assimilate to the woke culture that is being promoted in the UK?
@314DavidHoffman@DerekHjohnson@mshale58@BishopBarron Christians migrated to Muslims lands throughout history. Muslim Baghdad and Toledo were the most advanced cities in the world at their peak & many travelled there seeking knowledge.
Christians were not persecuted in Palestine when Muslims conquered it. In fact, they flourished.
@DerekHjohnson@314DavidHoffman@mshale58@BishopBarron I lived in Muslim countries for work (the gulf states incl Dubai). Christians live there peacefully with no issues whatsoever. Their laws are consistent with Christianity & they are the safest countries in the world.
We in the so-called "Christian countries" can learn from them.
@DerekHjohnson@314DavidHoffman@mshale58@BishopBarron Agreed. God hates those who transgress.
The clear example in the world today is the genocide of innocent Christians and Muslims by the Zionist regime. They do so in the name of Judaism. This cannot possibly be what Judaism teaches nor does this please God.
@314DavidHoffman@DerekHjohnson@mshale58@BishopBarron Actually, if you look at the facts, you will realise that it is the Christians who waged war against the Muslims (Crusades). Christians lived peacefully in Muslim lands for many centuries & still do.
According to the Koran, Christians are considered believers in the one true God
@DerekHjohnson@mshale58@BishopBarron Obviously, we have Jews, Christians & Muslims who have done evil in the names of their respective religions. Those are not God's people.
God's people strive to please God through their devotion with prayer, charity & sacrifice. They encourage peace & humility, not hate.
@Jennife38469105@mshale58@BishopBarron Islam and Christianity both revere Jesus. The Pope isn't pushing Islam. He is cognizant of the fact that Muslims also love and respect Jesus, and follow his example.
@Jennife38469105@mshale58@BishopBarron Actually Jesus was a socialist. Literally all of his practices were all for the sake of the community and, especially, the poor and weak.
Capitalism is about taking advantage of the poor and weak to attain more social advantage.
Jesus never charged the sick when he healed them.
@KimberlyNolin1@sabymerchant@mshale58@BishopBarron Actually, that's not true. Christians are more respected in those countries than they are in the USA (look it up). There have been sectarian clashes in the past but that is mostly due to politics, not religion. There are heavier clashes between democrats & republicans in the USA.
@DreddBolt@mshale58@BishopBarron All the prophets said that belief in the one indivisible god is the most important belief that leads to eternal salvation.
Jews, Christians and Muslims all believe this. The Pope didn't say anything wrong. All true religions that believe in the one God are paths to God.
@VonEagle45@mshale58@BishopBarron@Pontifex I think you are confusing those who claim their evil actions in the name of Islam or Christianity with the true adherents of those faiths.
Islam and Christianity both teach peace, love and humility. If we hate others then how can we possibly call ourselves believers.
@mshale58@BishopBarron Islam & Christianity both revere Jesus and believe in the God of Abraham, Moses and all Biblical prophets.
If we are honest, we can't deny that Muslims follow Jesus more than Christians, and many Church-leaders have repeatedly said this.
@MC84au@DannyBoyOZ@Suffragent_@monica_stout1 Correct. The Muslim respect the right of Christians and others to practice their religion.
They have great love and respect for Jesus and reject Paganism.
They believe Xmas and Easter are Pagan festivals but don't prevent people practicing these festivals.
@DannyBoyOZ@Suffragent_@monica_stout1 Muslims love Jesus and reject Paganism.
Muslims have been entrusted to hold the keys to Christianity's holiest site - The Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
@DannyBoyOZ@Suffragent_@monica_stout1 Good Christians love Muslims because they know Muslims follow and love Jesus.
Muslims don't celebrate Christmas and Easter because these are Pagan rituals.
Muslims follow every single thing that Jesus taught. Unfortunately, modern Christians don't.
@SENSELESSGOV@Suffragent_ Yes, because they know the anti-Christ will come when Christians and Jews turn evil. We can see it though Trump and Netanyahu.
@Suffragent_ Peter, you are insulting the victims and all Australians by doing exactly what the terrorists want - dividing Australians. Stop your racism and be a better person.
