The Inverted Cross and The Pope Kissing The Koran
Visit the Catholic Churches own site for yourself and you make your own choice?
This page is not to target the Pope or the Catholic Church, The Koran or those who choose to worship, it is a article that simply needs to be shown so that people can research for there own understanding. I get so upset that our churches, and leader can't simply say " I, or we, made a mistake. All denominations seem to try to hide behind the lie and not tell the truth. A picture paints a thousand words indeed. Now really, think about it, why was this chair used? My questions are not of judgement, just ones of answer's?
Did the Pope, touted by people like Billy Graham who said the Pope was his pick for "the Man of the Century"; and people like Bill Bright, Pat Robertson and Chuck Colson who signed the Evangelicals And Catholics Together document that claims that Evangelicals and Catholics are preaching the same gospel ... has this man who represents, in fact is the "infallible" voice of, the Roman Catholic Church not remember what the Qu'ran has to say about Jesus and the Triunity 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 [sic.] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers and say not 'Three' - Cease! (it is better for you! - Allah is only one God. Far is it removed from His transcendent majesty that He should have a son...The Messiah will never scorn to be a slave unto Allah."
The Words of The Koran. Consider the following quotes taken directly from The Koran:
p. 2 of introduction (Islamic view of Jews & Christians) "The Koran accuses the Jews of corrupting the Scriptures and the Christians of worshipping Jesus as the son of God, although He had expressly commanded them to worship none but Him."
Surah 5:51 (No friendship with Jews or Christians) "Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. Whoever of you seeks their friendship shall become one of their number. God does not guide the wrongdoers."
Surah 9:73 (Make war on unbelievers) "Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate."
Surah 9:5 (Slay the idolators/unbelievers) "When the sacred months are over slay the idolators wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush
everywhere for them."
Surah 5:33-34 (Enemies should be slain or crucified) "Those that make war against God (Allah) and His apostle (Muhammad) and spread disorder in the land shall be slain or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off on alternate sides, or be banished from the land."
Surah 47:3-6 (Behead the enemy) "This, because the unbelievers follow falsehood, while the faithful follow the truth from their Lord. Thus God lays down for mankind their rules of conduct. When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield strike off their heads and, when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly. Then grant them their freedom or take a ransom from them, until War shall lay down her burdens. Thus shall you do. Had God willed, He could Himself have punished them; [but He has ordained it thus] that He may test you, the one by the other."
Surah 4:99 (Special reward for aggressive martyrs) "He that leaves his home in the cause of God shall find many a refuge in the land and great abundance. He that leaves his dwelling to fight for God and His apostle and is then overtaken by death shall be recompensed by God. Surely God is forgiving and merciful."
Surah 22:57 (Eternal punishment for unbelievers) "Those that have embraced the true Faith and done good works shall enter the gardens of delight; but the unbelievers who have denied Our revelations shall receive an ignominious punishment."
A word about the up side down cross and The Church of Satan. In his article, The Kingdom of Satan, Professor J.S. Malan says this about the inverted cross: The kingdom of darkness is fanatically opposed to the church of Jesus Christ and tries to question, discourage, deceive, infiltrate, oppress, forbid, or destroy it in every possible way. Some of the symbols that they use in this campaign are the following: The inverted cross: This cross is not broken, but turned upside down. It indicates the rejection of Jesus Christ and contempt for the gospel of salvation. Inverted symbols are typical of the opposite values pursued by Satanists. People who are sometimes sacrificed to Satan on Black Sabbath are crucified upside down in accordance with this tradition. I ask why does the church use such things? Why not use a cross? Why does it have to be up side down? Perhaps you know? No matter how one tries to defend the simple truth is that Satanic and occult practicees have taken the upside down cross or inverted cross to mock our Lord. Yes Peter said that he was unworthy to be crucified as Christ we should remember Christ and the Cross, why place it inverted but to mock the sacrific? That is what Satan wants us to do. If Satanists use the inverted cross why should the church, our Lord was broken for us, it is used in rejection of Jesus and his sacrific? Think about these things.
Why would a chair with the demonic red upside-down cross (the same symbol used by Satanists) be (1) in Jerusalem and (2) at "the holy site" of the Sermon On The Mount" when it was Jesus Christ's sermon and had nothing to do with Peter?
Cut through the outer shell and find a meaning; cut through that meaning and find another; under it if you dig deep enough you may find a third, a fourth - who shall say how many teachings?"
For the uneducated, who were not supposed to understand the true meanings of symbols, symbols came to have two meanings understood by only a few and were closely guarded by them. The esoteric meaning was the invented, or modified, explanation intended to explain to the many.
The Legend of the Cross
"Originally represented the apostle Peter's humility in his martyrdom. He insisted that he be crucified upside-down, because he felt that he was unworthy to die in the same position as Christ. But today, especially in the rock music culture, it generally represents the opposite: Satanism and its mockery of Christ. Lucifer continues to twist God's wonderful truths and works into lies and deceptions
A word about the Pope embracing and kissing the Koran: [Picture above]." Kissing the Koran:St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Pt. II, Q. 12, A. 1, Obj. 2: “… if anyone were to… worship at the tomb of Mahomet, he would be deemed an apostate.”
Muhammad

English: Muhammad (Arabic: ????, also transliterated Mohammad, Mohammed, Muhammed, and sometimes Mahomet, following the Latin or Turkish), was an Arab religious and political leader and a prophet of Islam. In my evaluation of the Bible and other "holy books" is governed by the recognition that the Bible is the inspired word of God. If God’s final word is found in what we call the Bible, then no other book can be God’s word. To differ with what the Bible says is to differ with God. I would tremble to embrace and kiss any other book..would you as a Christian?
the former Chaldean patriarch--Raphael Bidawid--was present at the meeting where the event occurred, and in an interview with the press service FIDES, he said the following:
On May 14th I was received by the Pope, together with a delegation composed of the Shi'ite imam of Khadum mosque and the Sunni president of the council of administration of the Iraqi Islamic Bank. There was also a representative of the Iraqi ministry of religion. I renewed our invitation to the Pope, because his visit would be for us a grace from heaven. It would confirm the faith of Christians and prove the Pope's love for the whole of humanity in a country which is mainly Muslim.
At the end of the audience the Pope bowed to the Muslim holy book, the Qu'ran, presented to him by the delegation, and he kissed it as a sign of respect. The photo of that gesture [shown above] has been shown repeatedly on Iraqi television and it demonstrates that the Pope is not only aware of the suffering of the Iraqi people, he has also great respect for Islam |
