ROMAN CATHOLIC AND ISLAMIC PARALLELS The Roman church confirms Islam. The Pope supports Islam so Roman Catholics are compelled to. “3. The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth,(5) who has spoken to men;……” Indeed He has, so why not hear Him: Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is MY BELOVED SON , in whom I am well pleased. Mark 1:11 And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art MY BELOVED SON, in whom I am well pleased. Luke 3:22 …and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art MY BELOVED SON; in thee I am well pleased. 2Peter 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is MY BELOVED SON, in whom I am well pleased. “…….. they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees,……” Surah 9.30 The Jews call ‘Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth! 1John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? HE IS ANTICHRIST, THAT DENIETH the Father and THE SON. 23 WHOSOEVER DENIETH THE SON, THE SAME HATH NOT THE FATHER:… “….. just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God.” Mohammedans are unwittingly submitted to Satan. The only anti-another-religion, religion on earth. A perfect plan co-authored by a jealous fallen angel, through the false prophet Mohammed. But there are some of us that Mohammed didn’t fool: Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect. Indeed even Mohammed believed it was a jinn (a demon) that met him in that cave. Coptic priest Zakaria Botrous on this subject. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpsWnbApBNw “Though they do not acknowledge Jesus as God,…..” They deny Jesus as God, even as they deny the crucifixion and resurrection, while they deny that Jesus is the Son of God, but hey, why trifle in minor details? The greatest, and only unpardonable, sin in this satanic religion (shirk) being committed, if a Muslim confesses that Jesus is the Son of God. 1John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. Sura 19:88 They say: “(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!” 89 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous! What the pope has done is help the Muslims down their (collective?) path of death. 1John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; [and] HE THAT HATH NOT THE SON OF GOD HATH NOT LIFE. “…… they revere Him as a prophet.” They blaspheme the very blood that would save them: Surah 4:157 That THEY SAID (in boast), “WE KILLED CHRIST JESUS the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah”;- BUT THEY KILLED HIM NOT, NOR CRUCIFIED HIM, but so it was made to appear to them,… FOR OF A SURETY THEY KILLED HIM NOT:- Hebrews 10:29 Of HOW MUCH SORER PUNISHMENT, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, WHO HATH TRODDEN UNDER FOOT THE SON OF GOD, and HATH COUNTED THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT, wherewith he was sanctified, AN UNHOLY THING, and hath DONE DESPITE UNTO THE SPIRIT OF GRACE? “They also honor Mary, His virgin Mother; at times they even call on her with devotion.” Mohammedans join with Roman Catholics in the veneration of Mary. http://brotherpete.com/index.php?topic=16.0 “In addition, they await the day of judgment when God will render their deserts to all those who have been raised up from the dead.” And what will be the reward for those who follow the false prophet Mohammed, in part, thanks to the Pope’s encouragement? John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT THE SON SHALL NOT SEE LIFE, BUT THE WRATH OF GOD ABIDETH ON HIM. Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where THE BEAST and THE FALSE PROPHET [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. “Finally, they value the moral life and worship God especially through prayer,….” The prayers of the heathen: Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. “….. almsgiving and fasting.” Skipping lunch for a month. Adding to their delusion of self-righteousness. “Since in the course of centuries not a few quarrels and hostilities have arisen between Christians and Moslems,…..” This is patently false. The hostilities were between the Roman church and Moslems. Here is how we know it wasn’t between Christians and Moslems: Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment. 31 And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF. There is none other commandment greater than these. John 13:35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. The Crusades, inquisitions and persecutions of the murders of Christian reformers were not very different than the 1400 year murder, rape, pillage and plunder of Islamic jihad. No surprise that Roman style Christianity looks little different than Islam to a Moslem. “…… this sacred synod urges all to forget the past and to work sincerely for mutual understanding…..” Mutual understanding in regard to our respective beliefs is impossible for a Christian, as Mohammed WAS and taught, the EXACT OPPOSITE of Jesus and the Word of God. http://www.beholdthebeast.com/islam_the_opposite.htm “…… and to preserve as well as to promote together for the benefit of all mankind social justice and moral welfare, as well as peace and freedom.” Sure. Social justice like sharia law: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fbXvq_ZIbw And honoring women: http://www.beholdthebeast.com/women_in_islam.htm John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Sura 112:1-3: Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; 2 Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; 3 He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; _________________________ Death penalty for apostasy http://www.biblebelievers.com/chiniquy/cc50_ch67.html “But the reader has the right to know something of the dangers through which it has pleased God to make me pass. Rome is the same today as she was when she burned John Huss and Wishart, and when she caused 70,000 Protestants to be slaughtered in France, and 100,000 to be exterminated in Piedmont in Italy. On the 31st of December, 1869, I forced the Rt. Rev. Bishop Foley, of Chicago, to swear before the civil court, at Kankakee, that the following sentence was an exact translation of the doctrine of the Church of Rome as taught today in all the Roman Catholic seminaries, colleges, and universities, through the “Summa Theologica” of Thomas Aquinas (vol. iv. p. 90). “Though heretics must not be tolerated because they deserve it, we must bear with them till, by a second admonition, they may be brought back to the faith of the church. But those who, after a second admonition, remain obstinate to their errors, must not only be excommunicated, but they must be delivered to the secular power to be exterminated.” It is on account of this law of the Church of Rome, which is today in full force, as it was promulgated for the first time, that not less than thirty public attempts have been made to kill me since my conversion.” ……………………….. Whether in Saudi Arabia today – the Christian beheading capital of the world – just as it has been over the last 1400 years of Islam. The penalty for turning away from Islam is death. http://www.answering-islam.org/Silas/apostasy.htm ________________________ Lying for God From 25 year late 19th century priest Charles Chiniquy quoting Roman doctrine: “It is often more to the glory of God and the good of our neighbor to cover the faith than to confess it; for example, if concealed among heretics, you may accomplish a greater amount of good; or if, by declaring our religion, more of evil would follow – for example, great trouble, death, the hostility of a tyrant.” (liguori, “Theologia Moralis, t. ii n. 14, p 117 Mechlin, 1845.) This Roman church view of lying, as if for God’s benefit, is the very same as the Mohammedan concept of “taqiyyah”, or lying in the way of Allah – Islamic subterfuge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taqiyya That Roman view is exposed in God’s Word: Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Romans 3:7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? 8 And not [rather], (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. But that would not be slanderous reporting of the Roman “church”. ________________________ Prayers of the heathen. The Word of God instructs in the matter of prayer: 1Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing. This describes a relationship and constant communication with God through the Holy Ghost, not vain ritual. Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Roman Catholicism is steeped in repetitive prayer, whether rosary, prayers ordered by a confessor, etc. etc.. For Mohammedans, the Hadith tells us that earlier Muslims were instructed to pray 50 times a day. Mohammed later reduced this to a more manageable 5 times per day after his alleged flight on a horse. From “Infidel” Ali explains part of salat, “You say Praise be to Allah thirty-three times; God forgive me thirty-three times; Allah is great thirty-three times; and then, if you choose, you may also say Gratitude to Allah.” That’s a total of 495 repetitions of just those first three prayers – every day – because Muslims are commanded to perform salat fives times a day. ______________________ Idol Worship Exodus 20:4 THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE any graven image, or ANY LIKENESS [OF ANY THING] THAT [IS] IN HEAVEN above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth: Just as Roman Catholics surround themselves with likenesses of things in heaven, bow to them and even kiss them, and as Orthodox venerate their “icons” (brought into the church by Constantine’s mother), so do the Mohammedans bow 5 times a day to a black rock that resides in Mecca. They are required to go and march around it for days at least once in their lives, some even kissing and rubbing on it. All of the above, of course, deny idolatry. ___________________ Veneration of Mary Mohammedans join with Roman Catholics in the veneration of Mary. Though blessed among women… Luke 1:42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb. … did Jesus suggest we venerate Mary? John 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do [it]. Does it read like Jesus was looking for a ministry partner? No Roman Catholic would deny this 19th century Roman dogma or risk being subjected to the fires of hell. http://brotherpete.com/index.php?topic=16.0 “ASSUMPTION — At the end of her life, Mary was taken up (“assumed”) body and soul into Heaven. (“Catechism” 966, 974) There is no biblical reference to the assumption of Mary. The Gospel of John was written around 90 A.D., which is more than 100 years after Mary was born. (Surely Mary was more than ten years old when Jesus was conceived.) If Mary had been supernaturally assumed into Heaven, wouldn’t John (the disciple that Mary lived with) have mentioned it? When Enoch and Elijah were taken up to Heaven, the Bible recorded it. With Elijah it was recorded in some detail. (See Genesis 6:24 and 2 Kings 2:1-18.) The Assumption of Mary was officially declared to be a dogma of the Roman Catholic faith in 1950. This means that every Roman Catholic is required to believe this doctrine without questioning it. However, as we will see, the teaching of the Assumption originated with heretical writings which were officially condemned by the early Church. In 495 A.D., Pope Gelasius issued a decree which rejected this teaching as heresy and its proponents as heretics. In the sixth century, Pope Hormisdas also condemned as heretics those authors who taught the doctrine of the Assumption of Mary. The early Church clearly considered the doctrine of the Assumption of Mary to be a heresy worthy of condemnation. Here we have “infallible” popes declaring something to be a heresy. Then in 1950, Pope Pius XII, another “infallible” pope, declared it to be official Roman Catholic doctrine. (Note 15)” http://brotherpete.com/index.php?topic=16.0 Mohammed most likely got Mohammedan veneration of Mary during some of his consultations with a defrocked Roman Catholic priest. A whole chapter in the Quran is devoted to Mary, the only woman named in the Quran, though Mohammed’s confusion was off by generations. 19 MARYAM (MARY) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryam_(sura) _________________________ Conquest through population. The Roman church and Mohammedanism are united on this point as well. The Pope populating with Roman Catholics through prohibiting birth control. Mohammedanism as it always has: http://www.beholdthebeast.com/the_beast.htm#islamic_invasion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-3X5hIFXYU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jqCwqrz68g ____________________ In conclusion it might pay for those in bondage to the Roman church to consider first, this free book “50 Years in the ‘Church’ of Rome by Charles Chiniquy – a Roman Catholic priest for 25 years. http://www.biblebelievers.com/chiniquy/index.html Then this passage from the book of Revelation: Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. |
