The Pope blesses Muslims and sin over Africa

The Pope wants “god “to bless Mail, and make the people prosper. No mention of repentance, nor Jesus.

The Pope has arrived in Benin. He is there to say something pleasing to everyone.

The Vatican has made it a routine to send “traditional greetings” an route to the Pope final destinations. Going by air to Benin in Africa, the Pope first flew over Tunisia, Algeria and Niger.  Next, his aircraft crossed Burkina Faso and finally Ghana.

This is what the Catholic News provider Zenit.org have recorded:

” Though they only had Benedict XVI visiting for brief moments — and then, only from the air — six African countries received the assurance of papal prayers as the Holy Father flew over them on his way to Benin today”.

This is the Popes second apostolic journey to Africa.

The flight, gave the Pontiff an opportunity to express his wishes for peace and stability in Tunisia.

He sent his best wishes to Algeria and invoked upon the whole country “the benefits of the Almighty.”

“May the Most High bless Mali and grant to all its inhabitants prosperity and happiness,” stated the telegram for this country.

To Niger, the Holy Father expressed the hope that it will “live in prosperity and progress unceasingly in concord and peace.”

For Burkina Faso the Pope voiced his hope that it would “live always in peace and fraternity” and that God would grant it prosperity and happiness.

For Ghana he prayed for “God’s blessings of peace and social harmony.”

My comment:

It will be pretty obvious to all except Roman Catholics,  that this kind of “blessings” have nothing to do with Christianity.

The Pope surely believe in “allah, who is “god almighty” in North Africa.  Down under his aircraft there were only Muslims. At least over Tunisia, Algeria and Niger.

To bless people who live in sin, is wickedness. Only lawless men would do that. Any Christian, with an absolute minimum respect for the gospel, will understand that the Pope do not represent the Messiah Jesus.

The Messiah would have told the North Africans to repent, or perish. To ask their “god” to prosper them, is like wishing them good luck the whole way to Hell. Only a pope would do that.

 Hosea 4:7
The more priests there were, the more they sinned against me; they exchanged their glorious God for something disgraceful.

When the Pope pronounce “blessings” from the air, he must not be mistaken for being the Messiah returning in the clouds of Heaven.

Israel sends more aid into Gaza

Israel allows construction materials into Gaza to rebuild 10 factories.

Israel keep on sending thouands of tonns of aid into Gaza, despite getting rockets in return.

Israel allowed the first truckloads of a rare shipment of construction materials into Gaza on Wednesday to allow the reconstruction of 10 privately owned factories, the Israeli military and Palestinian officials said.
Until now only international projects have been allowed to import such materials, which Israel restricts because of concerns they could be used by Gaza militants who regularly launch rockets at Israeli towns.

Hamas-ruled Gaza is subject to an Israeli and Egyptian blockade that includes restrictions on the movement of goods and people.
In Gaza, Palestinian government coordinator Raed Fattouh said the first two trucks with materials entered Wednesday. The military says several dozen trucks will be allowed in.

My comment:

It is rather bizarre that Israel feeds the Gazan’s with one hand, and accepts limited rocket terror in return, that cuts off the other hand.

But Jesus the Messiah told us to bless our enemies. So what else to do?

Few like Israel do this. And not many more will be found, if you look among them who claim to know the Messiah.  Israel do not claim to know Him. 

 Matthew 5:43-45

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

Something to reflect on, both for Jews and Christians.

Jews have better discernment on Mormonism than many Christians

Mitt Romney believe he can make Jews proselytes of Mormonism by baptizing them after their souls are departed.

Mitt Romney is not a Christian, but a member of an American cult.

This is what a blogger writes on the Haaretz bloodspot:

Jewish Ancestral data banks, were critical instrument in facilitating the Mormon rite of “baptism for the dead” for all those lost souls, preferably Jewish, who might be tired of their afterlife limbo and who may decide, after being vicariously baptized in a Mormon Temple, to join the Church of Latter Day Saints (LDS) and to enter the Kingdom of God through the front door. It’s never too late, the Mormons believe.

My father was crestfallen, then outraged, as were many Jews around the world, especially when it turned out that among the lost Jewish souls that were being nudged up the stairway to LDS heaven there were hundreds of thousands and possibly millions of Holocaust victims who had been butchered by the Nazis specifically because they were Jewish and who had, needless to say, never heard of Mormonism while they were still alive.

Responding to the ensuing Jewish outcry, Mormon leaders promised in 1995 to end the baptism by proxy of Holocaust victims, but were found time and time again to have done very little to actually put an end to the practice. It was only in September of last year, after numerous letdowns, crises and threats of going public, that Jewish leaders seemed satisfied that technological safeguards had finally been put in place to physically prevent persistent Mormons from registering Holocaust victims as potential converts.

For Christians, of course, even in latter-day America, Romney’s Mormonism is more of an issue, with Catholics historically viewing Mormons as heretics and some fundamentalist Protestants seeing them as “a cult”, as Rick Perry’s pastor, Robert Jefress, controversially noted last month.

Most recent polls show that anywhere between 35% and 50% of Evangelicals don’t consider Mormons to be Christians at all.

And while Americans like to tell themselves that they live in a society in which a candidate’s religion does not have any impact on his chances of being elected and then go on to cite the precedent of John Kennedy’s Catholicism not having prevented his election in 1960 – they tend to overlook the fact that Kennedy may just be an exception, and an extraordinarily charismatic one at that, who simply proves the rule.

My comment:

First of all: Baptism is not a requirement, or a ticket, to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The thief on the cross was taken to Heaven purely by his faith.

Still I baptize as many people as I can, alive people, who announce that they will follow Jesus of Nazareth. I baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

From where is this practice of baptizing of the dead?

From two questions to the Corinthians, found in 1 Corinthians 15:29.  One single Bible verse, without conclusion, and no instructions.

 1 Corinthians 15:29

Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?

The people who baptized for the dead in Corinth, did not believe in the resurrection. So their acts were under all circumstances wrong.  And Paul asks two question to those who are baptized for the dead. They were the forefathers of today’s Mormons.

To let a Mormon do a proxy-Baptism for a departed Jewish forefather, is moving into the occult realm. This is surely wicked.

The Mormons have their extra Book of Mormons, a super revelation distributed by Joseph Smith in 1830 A.D. So it does not matter to the deceived Mormons what the Word of God is saying.  The Bible is not their final authority.

Baptism for the dead, is an act of man, a doctrine taught of demons. Paul warned us demonic inspired doctrines would be taught in the latter days. If the US chose Mitt Romney as their president, the Americans will surly get the president they deserve.

Islam and Nazism has the same roots

Israelis pose nude in “solidarity” with Egypt blogger

Women show support for Aliaa Magda Elmahdy. She drew sharp criticism for posting naked photos in protest of Muslim country’s restricted freedoms.

Not the present Israeli stunt of nudity, but a former one inside the "Holy land".

About 50 Israeli women posed for a nude photo on Saturday, in a show of solidarity with 20-year-old Egyptian blogger Aliaa Magda Elmahdy. The women posed with a banner reading “Love without borders” in English, Hebrew and Arabic, at Beit Ha’am on Rothschild Boulevard.

My comment:

I guess I will not post a picture of my self nude on Facebook, as a display of solidarity with the Egyptian student.

I would rather write some articles about the suppressive regimes in the Middle East. Based on Islam, they make females slaves, and second class citizens.

About 50 of our sisters in Israel simply do not get it.

To pose nude on the net, has nothing to do with solidarity, or “love with out borders”. But such will surely reach the headlines. 

Jewish sisters:

Please read the book of Amos all over again. Because of your countless sins, you were exiled. Have you really not learned anything from the years in the diaspora?

At the very end of the road, Jerusalem shall be full of filth. In the book of Revelation, the city is called Sodom and Egypt.  Some years ago we saw a filthy gay-parade in the city of David. Now this in Tel Aviv?

We can hardly imagine what comes next. Do not let the Messiah feel ashamed the day He return.

Cartoon of the day # 261

A good Cartoon often tells the story in a better way than 1000 words

The Old and the New Covenant

Esther 4:16
“Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.

John 10:28
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.

We are close to Purim, and its refreshing to read Queen Esters willingness to risk her own life. Thats what the IDF soldiers in Israel are doing every day. Thats what the Mossad operatives do. They are willing to take the risk of perishing, to protect the Jewish people for being slaughtered in a genocide, just like in the day of the ancient Persian Kingdom. Jesus the Messiah is the only one who can snatch us out of the fire. He was with Queen Easter, and He is with the Jewish people today. Both those who know Him, and those who are searching for Him. They shall be found and saved. Amen.
