Helpful in solidifying the point Catholicism is the Only Religion and all else needs to be destroyed? No room, rights, quarter, or coexistence for "error"... Not helpful for the Catholic slackers that only believe Catholicism is best and others may be partially correct. You've got to commit or be lukewarm vomit.

Guest Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) It's all about Jesus. Either he really died for our sins and resurrected from the dead or he didn't. If he honestly didn't then it really is all a sad disgusting tragedy. It really is. If Christ isn't resurrected and it's a lie then St.Paul was right. Christianity becomes the ugliest most sickening lie ever told to humanity. 1 Corinthians 15:14And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.

Guest Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) If the resurrection of Jesus is a lie then all religion needs to be destroyed and never spoken of again because it's all b.s. that lunatics are willing to kill for. On the other hand if Jesus truly is resurrected as I believe he is then it needs to be shouted from the rooftops and I can have the slightest empathy for false religions because they are at least pointing to the reality of God and the afterlife. But at the end of the day false religions are an abomination. John 4:24 ► For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth."

Maggyie Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 He didn't call Allah a God of death. He referred to the god of death that terrorists worship. This is just Vortex spin. Cardinal 23 would be very surprised by the interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleWaySoul Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 What @Maggyie said. Also, I've said it once, I'll say it again. Keep in mind that "Allah" is simply Arabic for "God." So saying that "Allah is a god of death", or claiming that someone else said it, is just as weird as saying that "Dios is a god of death," or "Dieu is a god of death." There are Arabic Catholics and Christians who worship Allah just like we worship God and Italians worship Dio and the French worship Dieu. If someone wants to speak specifically about the Islamic deity, he should say so outright instead of using "Allah." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"That would rejoice at the death of a man and promise paradise to those who kill while invoking him, these cannot expect humanity to yield to their delusion." This is what the Koran teaches. This is what their god promises to those terrorist while at the same time declaring Jesus isn't God and didn't die for our sins.

KnightofChrist Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 As more and more attacks by Jihadists happen it will become more and more difficult to believe Islam is peaceful (as we understand the term) and that Allah of Islam isn't the god of death. Syrian Catholic leader challenges claims Islam is non-violent Quote Look for example at the Motto of the “Muslim Brotherhood”, founded in 1928. It says: “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way and dying for God is our ultimate desire.” Have we ever asked ourselves, for instance, about the many interpretations of the word “Jihad” as one of the five precepts in Islam? Have we ever heard what today’s “jihadists”, mostly brainwashed youth, were calling for, claiming about and boosting in cold blood their aberrant barbarism! And yet, out of political correctness, some politicians, scholars and media people among us, often want to find excuses for those “Jihadists”, theorizing on socio-economic and cultural as well as hypothetical grievance and injustice! - Nicholas Kristof wrote last month in New York Times: “Whenever there is a terrorist attack by Muslim extremists, we look to our enemies like the Islamic State or Al Qaeda. But perhaps we should also look to our ‘friends,’ like Saudi Arabia.” For decades, Saudi Arabia has recklessly financed and promoted a harsh and intolerant Wahhabi version of Islam around the world in a way that is, quite predictably, producing terrorists.” - A statement by Mohammed Habash on the Saudis… - The recent beheading of Father Jacques Hamel in France, like many other past and recent atrocities committed against innocents in the USA and Europe, is an authentic example of how far the Islamic amalgam between religion and state, embodied by the so called Islamic “Sharia” can evolve into barbaric and absurd behavior.. Let us not forget 9/11..! - Christians of the Middle East have tried to live and act as peace makers, tolerant, hard workers and promoters of civilized reforms. However, this seems to be meaningless to the Western powerful nations whose politicians betray their own principles and abandon Christians and other minorities of the Middle East. Sadly, Western politicians mostly are moved by 3 factors where ethics and principles are absent: They are complacent with the growing numbers of one “oumma” or nation, believed to unite hundreds of millions in the name of Islamic religion, They are greedy to benefit from the richness in natural resources of oil producer countries that create opportunities, and They are so fearful in front of a rising Islamic radicalism. These three factors seem to be the main concern of the so called civilized nations of our times. And because Christians of the Middle East have none of the three factors, they are lacking the needed international support. - The Western countries are naive and complicit by tolerating the mingling of religion and state as practiced in Arab countries, with the exception of Lebanon. It is time to tell the Truth in Charity. For that, I think we must avoid three false steps and implement other three positive ones.
