"Islamophobia"

At the United Nations on Dec 7, the Catholic Church participated in a "Confronting Islamophobia" seminar. This was reported in a Dec 9 'Catholic News Service' article titled, "Priest Says Catholic Church Working to Improve Relations With Muslims."

"Islamophobia." In these days of political correctness, we should not be surprised at the invention of this new word!

Speaking at the seminar was Hungarian priest 'Father' Gyorgy Fodor, president of Peter Pazmany Catholic University in Budapest. 'Father' said:

"Catholics acknowledged that Paradise would be open to Muslims who followed the principles of their faith."

Hmmmm......Let's take a look at a "principle" found in the Koran. Surah 2:186 says:

"I (Allah) respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me without any mediator or intercessor."

However, the bible says in 1 Timothy 2:5:

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."

So – a Catholic priest teaches that people can get to heaven without a mediator. But the bible teaches that a mediator is absolutely essential! Acts 4:12 says about Jesus:

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

Maybe the 'Catholic News Service' should have instead titled their article, "Priest Denies the Need for Jesus Christ!"

The choice is evident – should we trust the teachings of Catholic priests, or the teachings of the bible? I trust the bible.

Well – if the United Nations can invent a word, so can I. Roman Catholics suffer from "biblephobia" – a fear of the truth of the bible, as the bible clearly exposes the false and hell-bound teachings of the Catholic Church.

May God grant many Catholics repentance from Rome and faith ALONE in the "one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
