<3 PopeFrancis Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 All religions that are not Jesus' are not God; however, like it or not Muslims are our brothers through Abraham. Let's be less like Sarah and love them like Abraham's children. Perhaps we will be able to have peace; then move on so we can prepare for the next heresy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a person is the antichrist--denying the Father and the Son. Are you sure about that? There's nothing in that which implies or states those who reject Christ are no longer our brothers. I think you're forgetting many Muslims are Muslim simply because that's what they were raised with, and everything they know about Christianity is through inaccurate claims by those who raised and taught them, who were given those same inaccurate understandings through those who raised and taught them, and so on. We need to try and have understanding and mercy, even towards those who persecute and kill us -- especially for them, I would argue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Something I have noticed about the Muslims is that if they do not downright dislike (which is not a sin) Christians they are actually merciful to Christians. They see the Christian as a hypocrite to our own beliefs. I cannot blame them. As with the Jews, they are born and raised in their culture. However, they are faithful to what they believe. What they believe is incorrect however, they are raised that this is the law and are faithful to it to the extent of "crusade". This seems to be the underlying cause of their discontent towards Christians. Christians will say one thing and do the opposite, as they see it. The general nation of our Jewish siblings in faith justify actions in their "Talmud" as being children of Israel. (My feeling is Christians are born again by the Holy Spirit and not "...from their mother's womb..."). This Christianity festers confusion and ultimately hatred towards their adopted culture. Also, they realize the USA is founded on Christianity. As PhuturePriest mentions, they are raised in an Islamic "nation" and not only culture; however, though founded on Christianity, it is not a Christian nation in the Islamic State sense. Therefore the Muslims from Islamic States see giving in to unnatural inclinations toward homosexuality as breaking the law - which, in fact, breaks the natural law.

<3 PopeFrancis Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 On 7/27/2016 at 0:32 AM, Josh said: Are you sure about that? No. Our Lady of Fatima appears on a crescent moon - the symbol of Muslim. The woman clothed in the sun with the moon under her feet - paraphrasing - shall crush the head of the serpent. To me this would be an indication to what Josh said. Incidentally, Fatima is the daughter of Mohammed which to me indicates a kind of mercy towards the Muslim people which consists of families like us. That is why I feel merciful towards them as they are being driven out of their homes in the Middle East with mothers with their babies and children on the Gaza Strip with the fathers standing by powerless. It is very painful to see. However, Our Lady of Fatima says "In the End My Immaculate Heart will Triumph" God love us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way replies don't get confused between threads. Just a suggestion for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
