Pope Francis greets Muslims at Catholic University of Our Lady of Good Counsel |
The apostle Paul was so emphatic in his condemnation of those who perverted the gospel that he wrote this in his epistle to the early Galatian Church: "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!" (Galatians 1:8-9)
Paul wrote that because the Galatians had been deceived by Judaizers into turning away from Jesus Christ to seek eternal life by following the Mosaic Law. Paul reiterated that Christ came into the world to die for the sins of those who couldn't keep the law. Who are those folks? They're everyone.
Throughout his ministry to the gentile world, Paul continually emphasized that salvation and eternal life come only by faith in the crucified and resurrected Christ rather than by works or adherence to religious customs and traditions. To the church in Ephesus, Paul wrote this: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
The Roman Catholic Church disagrees with Paul. The Catholic Church teaches that we are saved by works and baptism, and not by God's grace in Christ's death on the cross for all sin and his resurrection from the dead. And that church pronounces a curse on everyone who chooses the Bible over the Roman Catholic gospel:
If any one saith, that man is truly absolved from his sins and justified, because that he assuredly believed himself absolved and justified; or, that no one is truly justified but he who believes himself justified; and that, by this faith alone, absolution and justification are effected; let him be anathema. (Council of Trent: Canon 14)The Roman Catholic Church isn't the true church of Jesus Christ. Nor has she ever been. She's a counterfeit that's condemned millions to hell with her false gospel since her inception in the 4th century. And before Islam appeared and began persecuting those who refused to submit to Muhammad's god, the Catholic Church was persecuting those who refused to submit to her popes.
For example, during the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church tortured tens of thousands of people who were even suspected of making false confessions concerning the papacy. That occurred during the infamous period that was known as the Inquisitions. That church has never apologized for those crimes against humanity, and likely never will.
Though that church's apologists claim that the Catholic Church underwent a reformation with Vatican II (1962-1965), nothing changed at all. The Catholic Church still teaches the same false gospel and still pursues her ecumenical vision of establishing a one-world religion.
Pope Francis, who's become the world's leading ecumenical, incredibly said this concerning Islam's god Allah and the biblical Judeo-Christian God who's often referred to as Jehovah:
Jesus Christ, Jehovah, Allah. These are all names employed to describe an entity that is distinctly the same across the world. For centuries, blood has been needlessly shed because of the desire to segregate our faiths. This, however, should be the very concept which unites us as people, as nations, and as a world bound by faith. Together, we can bring about an unprecedented age of peace, all we need to achieve such a state is respect each others beliefs, for we are all children of God regardless of the name we choose to address him by. We can accomplish miraculous things in the world by merging our faiths, and the time for such a movement is now. No longer shall we slaughter our neighbors over differences in reference to their God.The biblical Judeo-Christian God (Jehovah) is triune and consists of the Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit. Islam's god Allah is a single entity who has no son and can't be known.
Furthermore, the biblical God (Jehovah) loves the Jews and wants them to be reconciled back to Him through Jesus Christ His Son. Allah hates the Jews and encourages his followers to murder them. How could Jehovah and Allah be the "same entity?" They aren't. But in the spirit of ecumenicism, the Pope ignores the truth and claims otherwise. By doing so, he further deceives multitudes away from the truth and steers them toward a damnable lie that will destroy their souls.
Just as the true church of Jesus Christ is called His bride (Revelation 19:7), the Catholic Church is the bride of the Antichrist. The Antichrist is the ultimate counterfeit of Jesus Christ. And the Catholic Church is his bride.
