Brody is spending the night with us tonight. He loves that I write. He is almost 8 years old. Tonight he told me that he had a story. I asked him “Would you like me to publish this?” He was very excited. So, here is Brody’s story:
Pope Francis washes feet of Muslim migrants, says we’re all “children of the same God”
Apparently if we’re all “children of the same God,” we’re racist, bigoted and Islamophobic to be concerned about jihad terror committed by Muslim migrants, and certainly have placed ourselves beyond the pale of the Catholic Church, which apparently would prefer the West to commit suicide rather than defend itself.
The Pope has washed the feet of Muslims before. What does he mean by it? If he means simply to imitate Christ’s action of extreme humility at the Last Supper, and to demonstrate that no one is beyond the pale of God’s mercy, no Christian could object to that. However, coming at a time when Muslim persecution of Christians is escalating worldwide, and when there is very serious concern about the Catholic Church’s apparent determination to accommodate Islamic supremacism at all costs, and not speak up for the persecuted Christians, this foot-washing can unfortunately be interpreted as meaning that the Church is surrendering and bowing down to its new Islamic overlords. As Christians in the Middle East are being slaughtered on a massive scale by Muslims, this looks more like surrender and submission than charity.
If the Pope really meant by washing these Muslims’ feet that Catholics and Christians in general should not defend themselves and their loved ones and their homelands against the global jihad and Islamic supremacism, then his gesture is not only lamentable, but in contradiction to centuries of Church teaching about the right and even the duty of defending oneself. It is also worth noting, if any of the Muslims whose feet he washed were women, that if the Pope had dared to touch and kiss a Muslim woman’s feet in Saudi Arabia or Iran, he would have been immediately killed.
Above all, his act of humility would not have been received in the spirit in which it was intended. Among all too many Muslims worldwide it will be seen as his, and the Church’s weakness. Nor will it be reciprocated by any Muslim authority, in any way, shape or form.
As for being “children of the same God,” what would Pope Francis make of these Qur’an verses, were he to know about them (as he almost certainly does not):
Christians have forgotten part of the divine revelations they received: “From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done.” — Qur’an 5:14
Jesus is not the Son of God: “O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not “Three” – Cease! (it is) better for you! – Allah is only One Allah. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.” — Qur’an 4:171
“It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” — Qur’an 19:35
Those who believe that Jesus is God’s Son are accursed: “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! ” — Qur’an 9:30
Jesus was not crucified: “And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger – they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.” — Qur’an 4:157
Muslims must wage war against and subjugate Christians: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29
And there’s the Pope now, helpfully feeling himself subdued.
“‘Children of the same God’: Pope Francis washes the feet of Muslim migrants,” by Elahe Izadi,Washington Post, March 25, 2016:
They came from Mali, Eritrea, Syria and Pakistan. They were Muslim, Hindu, Catholic and Coptic Christians. And one by one, Pope Francis knelt down before these migrants on Holy Thursday and washed their feet.
The ritual, performed in a center for asylum seekers outside of Rome, comes amid anti-immigrant sentiment in Europe and in the wake of a terrorist attack in Brussels, for which the Islamic State has claimed responsibility.
“All of us together, Muslims, Hindus, Catholics, Copts, Evangelical [Protestants] brothers and sisters – children of the same God – we want to live in peace, integrated,” Francis said during his homily.
What? What about Jews? Buddhists? They’re not children of the same God?
The foot-washing ritual became a part of Holy Thursday Mass in the 1950s. Jesus washed the feet of his 12 apostles at the Last Supper. The symbolic act also imitates Jesus’s gesture of servitude.
A number of the migrants whose feet were washed by the pope had tears streaming down their faces.
Shortly after Francis became pope in 2013, he washed the feet of Muslims.
A massive crowd didn’t turn out to participate in the ceremony or listen to the pope’s homily on Thursday, though. From the Associated Press:
Francis was greeted with a banner reading “Welcome” in a variety of languages as he walked down a makeshift aisle to celebrate the Mass. But only a fraction of the 892 asylum-seekers living at the shelter attended, and many of the seats were left empty. Those who came out, though, received a personal greeting: At the end of the Mass, Francis greeted each refugee, one by one, posing for selfies and accepting notes as he moved down the rows.
Francis condemned the attack in Brussels and those behind such violence. “There are manufacturers, arms dealers who want blood, not peace; they want the war, not fraternity,” the pope said.
“You, we, all of us together, of different religions, different cultures, but children of the same Father, brothers – and there, those poor people, who buy weapons to wreck fraternity,” Francis said Thursday. “Today, at this time, when I do the same act of Jesus washing the feet of twelve of you, let us all make a gesture of brotherhood, and let us all say: ‘We are different, we are different, we have different cultures and religions, but we are brothers and we want to live in peace.’”
The Vatican said eight men and four women took part in the ritual, AP reported, including: an Italian Catholic; three Eritrean Coptic Christians; four Catholics from Nigeria; three Muslims from Mali, Syria and Pakistan; and a Hindu man from India…. -source (Emphasis mine)
Brethren, is it not clear that this pope is speaking words of heresy? I really don’t know if this man is the False Prophet from Scripture; or is he perhaps opening the way for another? Only God knows……
Keep your eyes on JESUS. He alone is God. He is NOT the God of Muslims or Buddhists or Hindus. He IS the God of the Jews, but their eyes have not yet been opened. He has revealed Himself to many Jews (as myself) but Israel as a whole is still in darkness.
One day all of Israel will say:
Matthew 23:39
“For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”
Recently, I published the transcript of an epic and historic speech by the PM of Hungary – Victor Orban. He sounded the alarm so passionately and articulately to his people, asking them to stand against what he said was an orchestrated and calculated forced migration into Europe by so-called refugees.
He made it clear that these were not refugees at all – that the plan was to stream in these people from a different culture, not in a humanitarian capacity. Here are his own words:
“It is forbidden to point out that this is not an accidental and unintentional chain of consequences, but a pre-planned and orchestrated operation; a mass of people directed toward us. It is forbidden to say that in Brussels they are concocting schemes to transport foreigners here as quickly as possible and to settle them here among us. It is forbidden to point out that the purpose of settling people here is to reshape the religious and cultural landscape of Europe, and to reengineer its ethnic foundations — thereby eliminating the last barrier to internationalism (NWO): the nation-states.” (emphasis mine)
Working in concert with the United Nations, Brussels is the home for the European Union. The irony is that soon after PM Orban’s speech, Brussels would realize the consequences of their own politically correct folly.
PM Orban of Hungary goes on:
“It is forbidden to say that Brussels is not stealthily devouring more and more slices of our national sovereignty, and that in Brussels many are now making a plan for the United States of Europe, for which no one has ever given authorization.” (Emphasis mine)
Is it not glaringly obvious that Brussels is working in concert with the United Nations? Brussels has admitted thousands (perhaps millions) of these so-called refugees, to set the precedent for other European countries to open wide their borders to these people.
The United Nations
Under the guise of “humanitarianism” the U.N. has a plan to distribute the so-called refugees across Europe and the U.S. Political correctness is being used to that end. Any country (for example Hungary) is stigmatized as an uncaring nation for not being on board with this plan.
In September, the United Nations rolled out there Sustainable Development Goals. Forced migration is a huge part of their strategy. If you would like to see the goals directly from the UN, please go to this article:
With the Secretary General of the U.N. in his sites, BHO is 100% on board with the forced migration program. He is as much a part of the U.N. at this point, without officially being on their leadership team. His plans for forced migration in America have been done in increments, and right under the noses of Americans. It is reported that numerous cells are distributed across the U.S. Obama is many things, but stupid is not among them. Everything the man does is calculated.
I applaud PM Victor Oban of Hungary for this outspoken speech, and his passion for protecting the citizens of Hungary. I pray for his safety. I am sure that many of the powers that be would like to see him dead.
Is it too late?
With millions of these migrants already in place in many Western countries, many people are wondering if it is too late to stop the terrorism. Our president cares not about the well being of American citizens. I sincerely believe that he is demon possessed.
The Brethren
Our only hope is Jesus Christ and Him alone. We must continue to pray for God’s will to be done. He is, after all, in complete control. Personally, I believe that we are close to the end. Each day I listen intently for the sound of that shofar and to be finally in His presence with my brothers and sisters.
We must share the Gospel with the lost. Their eternal destiny is the most important thing, and we should realize that all of this will burn up in the end, but not the Word of God.
“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows” (Matthew 24: 3-8).
