I didn't say that. Is that what your religion teaches? twist other people's words. That sounds like the very definition of the false prophet.
I said His name was immaterial. In the Bible He says, "I am, who am." I notice you did not use that as one of your names. Instead, you chose the most generic name you could "God".
The true God has many biblical names. I myself refer to Him mostly as El Shaddai
Notice that is the opposite of what Jesus preaches. He sat down with the sinners and spoke to them. The father ran out and welcomed the prodigal son. Which is what the Pope is doing.
The prodigal son seems to be a wayward believer. I mean he knows who God is and was in fellowship with him, but went his own way.
Jesus called sinners to repentence. The Pope has proclaimed that Allah and the true God are the same. Where did Paul or Peter ever equate Zeus with God?
Where did Jesus equate Zeus with God also?
And the Pope did mention that an athiest could go to Heaven. That is unscriptural. Or that all paths lead to Heaven?
Yet no one can come to the Father "except by me" according to Jesus.
You can't see at all you are blind. You distort and twist the Gospel to your own version. Get away from me, you Satan.
You should read the Gospels over. Pay close attention to how different Jesus message is to yours.
Those who hear the Gospel and reject it are not saved. They are still under God's wrath. If an athiest heard the Gospel his good deeds will not get him to Heaven.
If one of another faith heard the Gospel and rejected itno matter how good his works are he is still under God's wrath.
Again that is one of the central message of the Gospel.
Yes, that's the Catholic view you should try to understand it. Few souls go directly to heaven. Few people are that close to God, but all have the chance to make it there (including atheists who are otherwise good people, and gasp, Muslims.) It is only through prayer and through Jesus Christ that they call all make it to heaven, despite their sins.
Because Jesus is love, even the prodigal son can be saved. There is hope for you yet.
You know what I've figured out you just cut and paste other people's ideas. You have no understanding of your own. You don't even understand the sermons you paste.
Athiests and muslims who have heard the Message and rejected it will not end up in Heaven nor will they rise at the End of this Age.
That is 100% certain.
Well it was nice talking to you. And I would advise keep an eye out for this Pope. He is an interesting figure no matter how much you and I differ in our understanding of him.
God bless. -

Then why do you reject the Gospels? The ones where Jesus sits down to dine with sinners. Why do you reject the idea of "Judge not, lest ye be judged"?
Where did Jesus equate Zeus with God also?
Don't be absurd. Zeus is the leader of a pantheon of gods. He is not the one God regardless of which name you give him.

Allah is not the true God either. Look up Allah's history on Wikipedia please. He was a pagan deity.

I don't reject that Jesus presents Himself to sinners. But He does call them to repentance. I don't think he planned to ever turn any sinner to Allah.
And if anyone rejects the Gospel Message then God's wrath remains on that person. Gospel of John remember? -

You mean this reference in Wikipedia?
Allah (English pronunciation: /l/ or /l/; Arabic: Allh, IPA: [allh] ( listen)) is the Arabic name for God (al ilh, iliterally "the God"). The word has cognates in other Semitic languages, including Alah in Aramaic, l in Canaanite and Elohim in Hebrew.
It is used mainly by Muslims to refer to God in Islam, but it has also been used by Arab Christians since pre-Islamic times.
It other words, it means "God". To me that is making a big deal of nothing. Some people refer to Zeus as the "god of thunder", Mars is "the god of war" neither of those phrases change the meaning of "God" as the one, true God.
It matters what they believe. There are other issues with Islam which are important. I trust the Pope is discussing these with them.

The differences between Allah and God are too many for them to be one and the same.
The Koran states that Jesus was just a prophet. Not the Messiah for one thing.
Look up the differences online. -

There are Jews who think he was blasphemer and false prophet, but you still try to say they worship the same God as you.
Of course there are differences between Islam, Judaism and Christianity, but the point is that Islam is more closely related to Judaism and Christianity then it is to Arabic paganism. -

So let Pope is not doing what Peter and Paul. They both preached that Jesus was the Messiah boldly.
Many rejected the Gospel. Others accepted it. That is how it is expected to be done.
Trust me the Pope is the Pied Pontiff. He clearly wants to at least bring some religions together. He is not interested in preaching the Messiah boldly like Paul and Peter did. -

And that would be an example of something that he would speak to Islamic leaders about not "Could you change the term you use to call God? We're not buying the Allah thing."

He won't tell them though. A fry cry from Paul and Peter preaching the Messiah to the unconverted gentiles and Jews. -

I'm sure that he did. His greater concern would likely be freedom for Christians to worship in their countries.
