Satan's Minions? - Catholics & Muslims

Verse of the Week

Do not be afraid of sudden terror, nor of the destruction of the wicked when it comes.

(Proverbs 3:25)

Thought For the Week

          The evil machinations of the adherents of Islam (e.g. terrorism) pose an obvious mortal threat (See Note¹). In fact comments are being made to the effect that the Islamists are operating as if it is still the Dark Ages. In many ways this appears to be true; yet evil, and the danger it poses, exists in many forms. Some are more obvious than others. Often, more dangerous, are the less obvious forces of evil.

The modern sins by violence of the Islamists are comparable to the same past sins of the Catholic Church - which are too numerous to list and too pronounced to be denied. Even recent popes have offered official apologies for some past actions. The sad truth is that the Catholic Church is more evil today; but, it wields its power via financial and political force rather than force by violence. It also has a PR department that is second to none.

I suppose I should explain my statements - by dangerous I refer to the soul. The sword of Islam is no more dangerous to a person’s soul than was the sword of Rome. Perhaps the Catholic Church has admitted past mistakes because they were indeed mistakes. They slaughtered a lot of innocent people but it is doubtful they got many true converts. The Catholic Church has learned what the ignorant Islamists have not - “you can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar”. The Islamists are still so ignorant they count on a fly swatter!

          The Catholic Church has acted as a force against the followers of YHWH since its very inception. It spent over a millennia trying to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing; and, it then spent centuries just being a wolf. For the last few centuries it has turned to the more subtle nature of the serpent; and, in this more modern era the snake is slowly shedding its skin.

          Modern popes have kissed the Koran and the behinds of the Islamists. The latest pope is kissing the behinds of homosexuals. I would add pedophiles but who knows how long that perversion has been condoned by the papacy. Just as insidious is that the papacy has found a new cheering section amongst many so called evangelicals. All of this is claimed to be done in the name of “tolerance” (especially by the duped evangelicals).

          Have you ever seen the word tolerance in the Bible? It seems these folks, if they believe in sin, equate tolerance with the adage “hate the sin but love the sinner”. Did Jesus do that? Only if the sinner quit sinning! He told them to “go and sin no more” (e.g. John 5:14 & 8:11). But what if the sinner does not stop sinning? Jesus said “sin no more, that something worse may not happen to you”? He said this to a man that had already been crippled for 38 years and was not accused of committing any sin!

          Satan loves tolerance - he will accept any coward no matter how depraved. Tolerance gives him and his free reign to corrupt the next generation even worse!

Note¹: Some would counter that by saying, “unless you are a democrat”. To which I reply the issue is not one of blindness but purpose. Obama and his adherents see these machinations not as evil but as a means to an end. Consider his own words: "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam." - US President Barack Obama at the UN General Assembly on 9/25/12 (related Source). Or just ask Howard Dean. These folks are not anti-American - they are anti-christian America. Their wet dream is a US President Ayatollah Khomeini.

 

QUOTE

They have the Gospel according to Matthew in its entirety in Hebrew. For it is clear that they still preserve this, in the Hebrew alphabet, as it was originally written.

-- Epiphanius of Salamis, Panarion 29.9.4

Comment: A simple citation from history (Epiphanius died in 402 A.D.) for those folks who still follow the Catholic inspired “Greek only” tradition as the language of the originals concerning New Testament writings. If you believe the original writings of the Bible were inspired by YHWH then you might want to learn what was written before Satan got a hold of the writings. PS - Epiphanius also tells us, in Panarion 29, the Nazarenes rejected the writings of Paul.

 

Did You Know

The Catholic Church in the US has 171 billion in assets (Chicago diocese alone has over 3 billion in assets). The Catholic Church, if it were treated as a corporation, would rank in the top 20 of US corporations. It operates as a tax free charitable entity yet only about 2% goes to charity.

The Vatican is the smallest country in the world - yet owns and controls more land than the USA.

Regarding past sins of the Catholic Church (that make ISIS/ISIL look like Obama’s JV team) research Charlemagne and the Bloody Verdict of Verdun (about 4,500 decapitated in one day)!

George Bernard Shaw had a character say this in his 1908 play, Getting Married: "I believe the whole British Empire will adopt a reformed Mohammedanism before the end of the century."

Muslims preserve the tradition that Matthew went to Ethiopia to preach the message of God.
