  • Pope Benedict calls the divisions among Christians a scandal to the world

    http://jimmydeyoung.gospelcom.net/pp...1_archive.html

    In a meeting with the religious leader of the Orthodox churches worldwide at his ancient enclave in Turkey, a Muslim country, Pope Benedict called the divisions among Christians a scandal to the world.

    The Pope also appeared to send conflicting signals to Turkey's political establishment as he recalled the deep roots of Christianity in Europe, this after the Pope's endorsement for the Muslim nation to become a member state in the European Union (EU). This meeting between Pope Benedict and Patriarch Bartholomew is part of Benedict's plan to fully unite these two ancient branches of Christianity which split nearly 1,000 years ago.
    Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News
    The ecumenical goal of Pope Benedict to unite the Catholic Church with the Orthodox Church after a 1,000 year split is a precursor to a scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy for the Last Days.

    The very controversial trip to the Muslim country of Turkey by the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict, has included a political significance as well as a religious significance. The Pope's trip to Turkey has been an endeavor to mend fences between the Papacy and the Muslim world. Included in the Pope's pronouncements of his desire to develop closer relationships between the Muslim and Christian world, Benedict also has endorsed Turkey's effort to to become a member state in the EU which would make them the first Muslim state in the EU. Calling the divisions in the Christian world a scandal, the Pope also moved forward in his goal to reunite the Christian world under one umbrella.

    This scenario is a perfect match for what will be the plan of Antichrist during the first 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation Period as found in Revelation 17, a one-world religion headquartered in Rome, Italy. This worldwide ecumenical church of the future coming together with the approval of the revived Roman Empire of which the EU is is a prototype.

    The Pope's statements while in Turkey seem to be setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

    Yes, of course he wants all united under HIM or another like him.

    Not gonna happen, Benedict, so appropriately named are ye. Who goes against the Bible saying Biblical Faith not necessary for Salvation. Charles Stanley greatly refuted such an erroneous teaching this past Sunday.

      Here's a good reason why no-one should unite with the RCC, unless of course they believe the same way..........most of his Easter message was very good, but notice how it all ends.

      As we say with Thomas: "My Lord and my God!", may we hear again in our hearts the beautiful yet demanding words of the Lord: "If any one serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; if any one serves me, the Father will honor him" (John 12:26). United to him and ready to offer our lives for our brothers (cf. 1 John 3:16), let us become apostles of peace, messengers of a joy that does not fear pain - the joy of the Resurrection. May Mary, Mother of the Risen Christ, obtain for us this Easter gift. Happy Easter to you all.

        May Mary, Mother of the Risen Christ, obtain for us this Easter gift.
        I forgot which Gospel she demonstrated this power in. Was it Matthew, Mark, Luke or John? Or was it in the Book of Acts.

        Might as well conjure up the Easter Bunny. It's just as much a fairy tale.

        No doubt some will see these remarks as harsh. They are simply the fair interpretation of Scripture which counters an entire Marian cult that has been built on the traditions of men and absolutely has no basis in Scripture.

          Pope: Science too narrow to explain creation

          Pontiff praised science, didn't endorse creationist, intelligent design views

          PARIS - Pope Benedict, elaborating his views on evolution for the first time as Pontiff, says science has narrowed the way life’s origins are understood and Christians should take a broader approach to the question.

          The Pope also says the Darwinist theory of evolution is not completely provable because mutations over hundreds of thousands of years cannot be reproduced in a laboratory.

          But Benedict, whose remarks were published on Wednesday in Germany in the book “Schoepfung und Evolution” (Creation and Evolution), praised scientific progress and did not endorse creationist or “intelligent design” views about life’s origins.

          In the book, Benedict defended what is known as “theistic evolution,” the view held by Roman Catholic, Orthodox and mainline Protestant churches that God created life through evolution and religion and science need not clash over this.

          “I would not depend on faith alone to explain the whole picture,” he remarked during the discussion held at the papal summer palace in Castel Gandolfo outside Rome.

              Tell us, oh pope, how and when the transforming monkey suddenly got an eternal soul and then became a man?

              True that science cannot explain God's creation. But there's no proof He did it through evolution.

                  I just finished reading Ironside's book of sermons on Revelation and am reading his book on Daniel right now...I highly recommend it to everyone, it is timely today and gives an excellent insight to the RCC/Babylon and it's prophetic future.
