Islam was created by the Catholic church for selfish purposes, as this article proves.

I know that rebuttals to the article will surely come, but I'm not here for argument. I simply go about enlightening people.

You can believe it. You can choose not to: I have nothing to gain(except maybe a soul from ignorance.) But a wise man discerns the truth, and can differentiate it from propaganda.

Well thank you for the good wishes. Have a good evening too. If you ever get up to it I would be willing to hear why you maintain your position.

Noted.

Good evening sir. Your proof that the Catholic Church created Islam would be most welcome. You could recommend some books. I disagree with you but I am willing to learn why you believe this. Thank you.

There is a link behind the words "this article" in the first sentence of my post which you quoted.

Just click on the words "this article".

Sorry for replying late. The article you linked seems to be written by someone very poorly informed. For starters, the Holy City for Catholics is the whole diocese of Rome of which the Vatican is just a small part. Secondly the *headquaters* of the Catholic Church would be the Lateran Basilica, not the Vatican as your article erroneously claims. St Peters at the Vatican was built many centuries after the Lateran Basilica which is the Pope's cathedra and is outside the Vatican walls. The most laughable part is when the article writer claims that St Augustine of Hippo was an Arab. The article writer can't be more ignorant. St Augustine was born to a Romanised Berber family where the language at home was Latin. His father was called Patricius and his mother Monica. Do those names sound Arab to you? By the way, during Augustine's time there were no Arabs in North Africa. They only got there about 300 years later during the Islamic invasions. The author of the article is clearly poorly educated. Then there is the bizzare claim that Islam was created because Catholics wanted to takeover Jerusalem. Well what your writer clearly doesn't know is that by the time Muhammad was born, Jerusalem was already a Catholic city ruled by Byzantine emperors and with Catholic partriarchs.

Crown Of Righteousness

TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 4:1-8

"Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing" (2 Timothy 4:8.).

A great use of time is to spend it on something that outlasts it. James Waddel was a blind preacher in Virginia, whose eloquence was celebrated in one of the most beautiful pieces of American prose, William Wirt's "British spy". When this blind Boanerges lay dying, one of his friends, about to leave him after a visit, expressed his wish that when he came to die, he would have at the back of him for his own comfort, the record of a godly life like that of Waddel. At that, Waddel lifted his hand in protest and declared that if his only comfort were the thoughts of the life which he had lived, he would be wretched indeed, "if in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable".

As he neared the end of his life, Paul could confidently say that he had been faithful to his call. Thus, he faced death calmly knowing that he would be rewarded by Christ. The good news is that the heavenly reward is not just for giants of faith like Paul, but for all who are eagerly looking forward to Jesus' second coming.

Paul gave these words to encourage Timothy and by extension, as many in this contemporary period who remain steadfast in doing the will of God. It is also to those who spread the good news of salvation to others. For those who love the appearing of Jesus Christ, He shall appear for their joy and there is a crown of righteousness reserved for them in heaven.

Friend, do not live for the meat that perisheth; live instead for that which will transcend the frontiers of this earthly realm. Let each day of your life count for eternity. Get involved in the gospel work that will edify the soul of man in time and eternity. Get out of the mindset of living to earn a living, thereby laying for yourselves treasures on earth. Be sure that your earthly vocations are served to glorify Christ only, and to bless humanity.
