Pope Francis Says All Major Religions Are Paths To Same God by Shalomdee(f): 6:34pm On Jan 27, 2016
A new video has just been released in which Pope Francis very clearly expresses his belief that all of the major religions are different paths to the same God.

He says that while people from various global faiths may be "seeking God or meeting God in different ways" that it is important to keep in mind that "we are all children of God".

This is the most recent example that shows that the Pope has completely abandoned any notion that a relationship with God is available only through Jesus Christ.

As he has done throughout his papacy, he continues to lay the groundwork for the coming one world religion, and yet hardly anyone seems upset by this.

When I first heard of this new video, I was so stunned that I thought that it might be a joke. But the truth is that this video is very real. The following comes from an article that was put out by Catholic News Agency...

The Popes first-ever video message on his monthly prayer intentions was released Tuesday, highlighting the importance of interreligious dialogue and the beliefs different faith traditions hold in common, such as the figure of God and love.

"Many think differently, feel differently, seeking God or meeting God in different ways. In this crowd, in this range of religions, there is only one certainty that we have for all: we are all children of God," Pope Francis said in his message, released Jan. 6, the feast of the Epiphany.

But it isnt just Pope Francis speaking in this video. In fact, one section of the video features leaders from various global religions expressing faith in their respective deities. The following comes from an article about this new video that was posted on Christian News Network...

The video then features clips of those from different world religions declaring belief in their various deities.

"I have confidence in Buddha," a female lama announces.

"I believe in God," a rabbi affirms.

"I believe in Jesus Christ," a priest states.

"I believe in Allah," an Islamic leader declares.

Are you shocked yet?

The Pope closes the video with an appeal for people from every religion to talk with one another and to work with one another. Here is more from Catholic News Agency...

Later on, after the Pope affirms that all, regardless of their religious profession, are children of God, the faith leaders state their common belief in love.

Pope Francis closes the video by expressing his hope that viewers "will spread my prayer request this month: that sincere dialogue among men and women of different faiths may produce fruits of peace and justice. I have confidence in your prayers."

Of course this is not the first time that Pope Francis has done something like this. Very early in his papacy, he authorized "Islamic prayers and readings from the Quran" at the Vatican for the first time ever.

And as I documented in a previous article entitled "In New York, Pope Francis Embraced Chrislam And Laid A Foundation For A One World Religion", during his visit to St. Patricks Cathedral in Manhattan he made it very clear that he believes that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. The following is how he began his address...

I would like to express two sentiments for my Muslim brothers and sisters: Firstly, my greetings as they celebrate the feast of sacrifice. I would have wished my greeting to be warmer. My sentiments of closeness, my sentiments of closeness in the face of tragedy. The tragedy that they suffered in Mecca.

In this moment, I give assurances of my prayers. I unite myself with you all. A prayer to almighty god, all merciful.

In Islam, one of Allahs primary titles is "the all-merciful one". If you doubt this, just do a Google search. And this certainly was not the first time that Pope Francis has used such language. For example, check out the following excerpt from remarks that he made during his very first ecumenical meeting as Pope...

I then greet and cordially thank you all, dear friends belonging to other religious traditions; first of all the Muslims, who worship the one God, living and merciful, and call upon Him in prayer, and all of you. I really appreciate your presence: in it I see a tangible sign of the will to grow in mutual esteem and cooperation for the common good of humanity.

In a way the Pope is right even though he might not even fully understand what he said..

At each epoch, bringers of Truth are sent to the earth (to their tribe or race specifically) to preach the true teachings of the Almighty, these teachers taught their followers the right way to worship God but unfortunately after the departure of these teachers, their followers introduce laws and other teaching that suit only their selfishness, and even the popular religions like Christianity, Islam, hindu, etc are not left out of this mess, that's why you see different teachings from different churches today instead of only one true belief and teaching. Some will even say their church is the only true church.. If I continue, many of you may not understand me but will only abuse me, so I may only respond to questions thrown to me..


#Fact. All religions have an element of truth in them, but None can take you to God..

FRONTPAGE!!!
This Pope has done more for world peace than anyone else I've heard of. What he speaks is common sense which human pride blinds us from.
If humans used all the time they spent bickering over which is the real religion and instead put it into curing cancer and other terminal diseases, we would live longer more fulfilling lives on earth.
