The pope, His Holiness, Holy father, benedith d' XVI just arrived Maryland Airforce Airport and he is seen as a celebrity on Arrival. Am just watching on CNN and everyone is screaming and suprise like they have seen a music pop star. He should be seen as a figure of God, Jesus representative on Earth and as a Holy father.

With the pope's blessings and arrival, they should see him as God's figure walking on the shores of America.

May God give the Pope More spritual powers and Grace to send the right message of catholism and christainity to the Americans

Amen
God bless His Holliness

Amen to the prayer

pics of arrival

I don't think him being treated as a celebrity should be highlighted, but rather his address of the "sex scandal." And what he actually does while on his visit

did you guys see the rendition of Ave maria by the opera singer at the reception ?
what a voice!

Viva il Papa!

For us to say that the Pope is not a celebrity is a sign of false humility. He is not only a celebrity for Christ but the leader of over I bilion Catholics. The people who are screaming as if they have seen a pop star are real human beings expressing their feelings. When Pope John Paul 11 was dying, people were not screaming in excitement but praying and crying. God bless the Pope !

When ever i watch the video of Pop's visit on CNN, I feel blessed by God.

My Man of God
His Holiness

BENEDICTA MUS DOMINUS

I totally agree with you,
Pope Benedict (XVI) is indeed a figure of Christ on earth, May the Holy Trinity Father, Son and Holy Spirit continue to guide and guard him as he leads God's people

Long live the Pope!!!

It is this blasphemy that will haunt all popes in hell fire where their real father is waiting with open arms.

I'm not God, but His word which you pretend to carry everyday is CLEAR.
The doom of the pope and his heretical organisation is written into the book of revelations.

These atheists also protested against the Pope's visit:

* ELLEN JOHNSON, President of American Atheists
* ARLENE-MARIE, President of Michigan Atheists and State Director, AA
* MARGARET DOWNEY, President of Atheist Alliance
* FRED EDWORDS, Director of Communications, American Humanist Association
* CHRISTOPHER ARNTZEN, President, Gay and Lesbian Atheists and Humanists
* RICK WINGROVE, Capitol Hill Representative, Virginia Director, American Atheists

My question -> why are they so insecure? Afterall, the pope is not planning to meet/discuss with them.

God's word from which Martin Luther deleted 7 books.

4 Him:

Stop mis-interpreting the book of revelations. The Pope is the Vicar of Christ on earth. Live with it.

Though I'm not a Catholic, I still respect the Pope. I admire the organization of the Catholic church and the candor the Pope showed in talking about the pedophilia issues. May God bless the Pope!

RichyBlacK:

, I still respect the Pope. I admire the organization of the Catholic church

The Pope is the most popular religious figure on earth, he may not be as popular as his predecessor and again he started on a wrong step he however, regain his composure. I respect him, because i have esteemed respect for the catholic church, i see catholics as the real Christan. They have unlike other westicoted denominations (Potestants & co ) resisted influence of western ideology into their religion. They (the catholics) are the front runners in voicing out against Gay & Homosexuality, Abortion and other westicoted ideals that are gradually been incorporated into Christianity.

imhotep:

God's word from which Martin Luther deleted 7 books.

that is up to God to judge Martin Luther for. God wont judge you based on how large or how complete your bible was but on your faithfulness in the little that was committed to you. Lazarus probably couldnt afford a torah but found his way to the bossom of Abraham.

imhotep:

Stop mis-interpreting the book of revelations. The Pope is the Vicar of Christ on earth. Live with it.

Its not a matter of telling me to "live with it" . . . its not something that bothers me at all. Christ said He would send the comforter not a vicar. Live with your own heresy.

this is the mind of a decietful liar. Where you not the one who opened a thread using gay priests to castigate christianity? Now those same priests are who you regard as the "real christians"?

I'll tell you why your have "esteemed respect" for the catholic church - its not because they are "real christians" but because their idolatry and heresy is the closest to legitimising Is'lam.
The popes kiss the qu'ran and bow down to idols in ur mosque, that is why you hypocrites pretend to "deeply respect" them.

4 Him:

Martin Luther is not Lazarus. And I find it hypocritical that people will follow a man who deleted 7 books from the bible and attempted to remove the book of James, Hebrews etc etc. Cherry-picking christianity.

4 Him:

You still got to live with it. Christ did not also promise to send 33,000 bickering sects that cannot agree on anything. He prayed for the unity of His followers.

4 Him:

this is the mind of a decietful liar. Where you not the one who opened a thread using gay priests to castigate christianity?

MCUsman was not castigating anybody in that thread. He was just repeating a widely publicized news item here.

Is this an attack of insecurity? At least the M'uslims don't modify the Kor@n to suite their fancies, like Martin Luther and his followers.

imhotep:

Imohotep,

the signs are all there for you to see. Your pope is kissing the qurihan and you are comfortable with that. Let me open this up a littel. The qurihan is one of the most opposing books to the mission of Christ on earth and your pope approves it.

The qurihan states that Jesus did not die and your pope approves it
It states that Jesus is not God and your pope approves it
It also states that you can kill anybody who insults Is'lam or its prophet MO and ur pope approves it.
It states that all jews should be killed and calls them apes and goats and all sorts, and your pope approves it.

So what does the pope stand for? Falsehood, divisions, sheep in wolf's clothing. Yes! I am however not surprised anyways. No wonder is'lam thinks that the "trinity" that some Christians talk about comprises God, Jesus and Mary ( na wa o!) Delusions in high places.

Coalition of darkness. The doom of the catholic church is clearly spelt in the book of revelations as it is the only one that fulfills that prophecy. The days of the RCC is numbered for the wrath of God to descend upon them.

Do you want him to kiss the bible that Martin Luther thoroughly corrupted?

imhotep:

you must be thoroughly deluded to think that christianity outside the RCC originated from Martin Luther only.

imhotep:

you're just quoting anything like a man grasping at straws. Christ also said He came to send a sword on the earth . . . did you miss that one in ur misguided quest for unity?
The unity Christ prayed for was a unity of mind ROOTED in the scriptures and focused on the heavenly calling not in the traditions of men.

imhotep:

MCUsman was not castigating anybody in that thread. He was just repeating a widely publicized news item here.

ur brother in blasphemy.

imhotep:

no wonder mu'slims love catholics. Birds of the same feather using the same accusations to seal their doom.

The corruption of the bible started with him. And you follow him blindly? Why?

Is this why you are hell bent on dividing the RCC? A biblical misquote?

4 Him:

Once again, you gotta live with this. Notice that M'uslims and Catholics hate the gross disorder that protestants are known for.

imhotep:

there is no corruption of the bible. It exists in the minds of the adherents of the world's 2 largest cults of hell.

imhotep:

The judgement of the LovePeddler (RCC) is outlined in Revelations, i'm not bothered about dividing it.

imhotep:

What mu'slims and catholics truely hate is not "gross disorder" but the very truth of Christ revealed.

Catholics it was who first tried to destroy the Jews, mu'slims have only recently taken over that task.

4 Him:

ALL can see that 7 books are missing, except you. How blind do you want to be?

Stop misquoting the beautiful book of revelations.

4 Him:

Catholics defined and defended the Trinity and the hypostatic union of Christ beautifully. These are the very concepts of God and Christ that you carry about. Show me the word 'Trinity' in your bible.

4 Him:

Catholics it was who first tried to destroy the Jews, mu'slims have only recently taken over that task.

And the protestants in America are doing a beautiful job of destroying the m'uslims in the middle east. Not so?

4Him and Imhotep what is the essence of your dialogue?

Cgift,
  sweetie, surely, thou is not suprised the pope is kissing the qorani?     didn't you know catholics and mooslims serve the same god?

catechism 841
The Church's relationship with the Mus'lims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Mus'lims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful god, mankind's judge on the last day."[330]


 brotha Imhotep,
based on personal experience on these boards, I have complied a list of your answers to any and every question that is posed to you:

  "go and figure out the 33,000 protestant sects"
  "luther deleted 7 books from the bible"
  "the catholic church will continue to grow and be organized"
  "(something something) hatred"
  "go and do your research . . . (insert vatican website here)"
 "go and sort out your tithe issues"
 "(post a quote from a martin something)"
  "*insert picture of the pope*"
               and many more I can't recall now.         

A_K_O:

4Him and Imhotep what is the essence of your dialogue?

AKO, don't jump in front of a raging train

imhotep:

would i go to hell if i only got born again at 70 and thus didnt have the chance to read the books of Daniel?

imhotep:

Stop misquoting the beautiful book of revelations.

Rev 17. Read it, open ur eyes.

imhotep:

Catholics defined and defended the Trinity and the hypostatic union of Christ beautifully.

That is the job of the Holy Spirit. The early apostles did a fine job, they didnt need catholics to "define" their faith and defend it for them.

imhotep:

And the protestants in America are doing a beautiful job of destroying the m'uslims in the middle east. Not so?

Is Dick Cheney a protestant? Are they actually "destroying mus'lims in the middle east" or u're now buying into arab propaganda?

This is the very definition of CONFUSION and STRONG DELUSION.

How can mus'lims be part of the plan of salvation when they DENY the very foundation of that salvation (the death on the cross)?

How can they, who deny the LORDSHIP OF JESUS (calling Him but a prophet), be one with catholics who with their lips profess to worship Christ?

4 Him:

And you accuse catholics of not reading the bible!!

4 Him:

Check your history. ALL those that have tried to interpret Revelations have failed woefully.

4 Him:

That is the job of the Holy Spirit. The early apostles did a fine job, they didnt need catholics to "define" their faith and defend it for them.

Please check here =>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity . Stop being ignorant of history. Yes, the Holy Spirit, with the Catholic Church defined and defended the Trinity and the Hypostatic union of Christ.

4 Him:

Is Dick Cheney a protestant? Are they actually "destroying mus'lims in the middle east" or u're now buying into arab propaganda?

Dick Cheney is not the commander in chief.
If the killing of over 800,000 iraqis is not destruction, then what is it? Please tell me.
