Mark Zuckerberg and Pope Francis

Zenit, a pro-Vatican news agency, reported the following:
Pope: ‘Time Is Running Out, We Must Act’
February 17, 2017
Time is running out to confront this ecological crisis. We must act. I appeal for Creation to be defended..
And remember, no people are ‘criminal,’ nor religion, ‘terrorists.’ But there are people out there who are fundamentalists…
Pope Francis made these points in his message to the participants of a national meeting of popular movements in Modesto, California. …
Acknowledging their commitment to fight for social justice, to defend Earth and stand alongside migrants, Francis noted he reaffirms their choice and offered, in this regard, two reflections.
First, he said, “the ecological crisis is real,” noting climate change is a real scientific phenomenon and cannot be ignored. …
“No people is criminal and no religion is terrorist,” he said, adding, “Christian terrorism does not exist, Jewish terrorism does not exist, and Muslim terrorism does not exist.”
They do not exist, he underscoring, also noting that no people is criminal or drug-trafficking or violent.
“There are fundamentalist and violent individuals in all peoples and religions— with intolerant generalizations, they become stronger because they feed on hate and xenophobia.” https://zenit.org/articles/pope-time-is-running-out-we-must-act/
Pope Francis continues to push his twisted ecumenical and Babylonian (cf. Revelation 17 & 18) agenda.
Of course there are Muslim terrorists, despite what Pope Francis stated.
Islam encourages war, deceit, and terrorism. Notice something from the Islamic State’s publication Dabiq:
Jihād in this era is an obligation upon each and every Muslim as numerous lands of the Muslims have been usurped by the kuffār and numerous parties of apostasy have arisen therein. Until all these lands are retaken, cleansed of apostates, and ruled by the Sharī’ah, the obligation does not drop. … Allah c said, {And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know [but] whom Allah knows} [Al-Anfāl: 60].(The Murtadd Brotherhood. Dabiq, issue 14, Islamic year 1437–October 2016, p. 36)
‘Jihad’ supposedly means ‘holy war.’
Yes, the Islamic State is extreme. However, so is the Qur’an–here are some verses from it:
003.151
YUSUFALI: Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers!
PICKTHAL: We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve because they ascribe unto Allah partners, for which no warrant hath been revealed. Their habitation is the Fire, and hapless the abode of the wrong-doers.
SHAKIR: We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they set up with Allah that for which He has sent down no authority, and their abode is the fire, and evil is the abode of the unjust. (The Qur’an Translations of the Qur’an, Surah 3: AL-E-IMRAN (THE FAMILY OF ‘IMRAN, THE HOUSE OF ‘IMRAN).

008.012
YUSUFALI: Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”
PICKTHAL: When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger.
SHAKIR: When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them. (The Qur’an Translations of the Qur’an, Surah 8: AL-ANFAL (SPOILS OF WAR, BOOTY). Center for Muslim-Jewish Engagement. retrieved from http://www.usc.edu/org/cmje/religious-texts/quran/verses/008-qmt.php#008.012 12/04/15)
033.026
YUSUFALI: And Allah turned back the Unbelievers for (all) their fury: no advantage did they gain; and enough is Allah for the believers in their fight. And Allah is full of Strength, able to enforce His Will.
PICKTHAL: And Allah repulsed the disbelievers in their wrath; they gained no good. Allah averted their attack from the believers. Allah is ever Strong, Mighty.
SHAKIR: And Allah turned back the unbelievers in their rage; they did not obtain any advantage, and Allah sufficed the believers in fighting; and Allah is Strong, Mighty.
033.026
YUSUFALI: And those of the People of the Book who aided them – Allah did take them down from their strongholds and cast terror into their hearts. (So that) some ye slew, and some ye made prisoners.
PICKTHAL: And He brought those of the People of the Scripture who supported them down from their strongholds, and cast panic into their hearts. Some ye slew, and ye made captive some.
SHAKIR: And He drove down those of the followers of the Book who backed them from their fortresses and He cast awe into their hearts; some you killed and you took captive another part. (The Qur’an Translations of the Qur’an, Surah 33: AL-AHZAB (THE CLANS, THE COALITION,THE COMBINED FORCES). Center for Muslim-Jewish Engagement. retrieved from http://www.usc.edu/org/cmje/religious-texts/quran/verses/033-qmt.php#033.060 12/04/15)
Consider also the following from the Qur’an:
033.060
YUSUFALI: Truly, if the Hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and those who stir up sedition in the City, desist not, We shall certainly stir thee up against them: Then will they not be able to stay in it as thy neighbours for any length of time:
PICKTHAL: If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the alarmists in the city do not cease, We verily shall urge thee on against them, then they will be your neighbours in it but a little while.
SHAKIR: If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease and the agitators in the city do not desist, We shall most certainly set you over them, then they shall not be your neighbors in it but for a little while;
033.061
YUSUFALI: They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain (without mercy).
PICKTHAL: Accursed, they will be seized wherever found and slain with a (fierce) slaughter.
SHAKIR: Cursed: wherever they are found they shall be seized and murdered, a (horrible) murdering. (The Qur’an Translations of the Qur’an, Surah 33: AL-AHZAB (THE CLANS, THE COALITION,THE COMBINED FORCES). University of Southern California. Center for Muslim-Jewish Engagement. retrieved from http://www.usc.edu/org/cmje/religious-texts/quran/verses/033-qmt.php#033.060 12/04/15)
The above seems to suggest that you act like ordinary neighbors for a time and then react against them.
Notice the following Islamic teachings related to deceit and terror from the Bukhari (other accepted Islamic writings):
Bukhari 3,49,857 Muhammad said, “A man who brings peace to the people by making up good words or by saying nice things, though untrue, does not lie.”
Bukhari 4,52,267 Muhammad cried out, “Jihad is deceit.”
Bukhari 5,59,369 Bin Maslama volunteered to kill an enemy for Muhammad, then said, “Give me permission to deceive him with lies so that my plot will succeed.” Muhammad replied, “You may speak falsely to him.”
Bukhari 8,78,618 Abu Bakr, the prophet Muhammad’s closest friend and adviser and first convert to Islam, said, “If I make a pledge and later discover a more worthy pledge, then I will take the better action and make amends for my earlier promise.” (As published in Boone P. The Muslim principle that makes nuke deal suicide. World Net Daily, August 5, 2015. http://www.wnd.com/2015/08/the-muslim-principle-that-makes-nuke-deal-suicide/#SVDge7POtwWRlxHB.99)
Bukhari 4,52:220, Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Book 52: Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihaad). University of Southern California. Center for Muslim-Jewish Engagement. retrieved from http://www.usc.edu/org/cmje/religious-texts/hadith/bukhari/052-sbt.php#004.052.220 12/04/15)
Murder and bearing false witness are wrong and in violation of the Ten Commandments (see also The Ten Commandments Reflect Love, Breaking them is Evil).
Islam encourages terrorism, and there are Islamic terrorists. Yet, Pope Francis is publicly denying this reality. The Bible warns:
11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. (Revelation 13:11)
Pope Francis’ words denying Islamic terrorists, etc. are the words of a dragon.
Furthermore, while there are no true Christian terrorists, there are terrorists who call themselves Christian. From the Edict Against Heretics from Emperor Constantine to the decree of the death penalty against those holding to fundamental Christian doctrines by Emperor Theodosius a few decades later to the Inquisition and other persecutions, the Church of Rome has often been a terrorist organization.
The fact that Pope Francis complained about those who hold “fundamentalist” views shows that he is setting people up to act against those who stand for the original biblical faith. Yet, the Bible, even the Roman Catholic versions, teach the opposite:
3… contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. (Jude 3, Douay-Rheims)
The faith once for all delivered to the saints would seem to be considered “fundamentalist” by the pontiff, who is glossing over terrorism and pointing against fundamentalist views. His telling people to “act” suggests that they rise up some day against those with “fundamentalist” Christian views.
Pope Francis does what he does to promote his false Laudato Si ‘gospel’ as well as the United Nation’s ‘New Universal Agenda, which he has pushed for and endorsed.
Pope Francis is not the only globalist.
Notice the following related to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg:
February 17, 2017
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is reframing his platform — at times a cesspit of political outrage — for the Trump era.
In a long letter on his Facebook page Thursday, Zuckerberg lamented the rise of isolationism and the backlash against globalization. When Facebook first launched in 2004, supporting a more connected, global community was not controversial, he wrote.
“Yet now, across the world there are people left behind by globalization, and movements for withdrawing from global connection,” wrote Zuckerberg. “There are questions about whether we can make a global community that works for everyone, and whether the path ahead is to connect more or reverse course.” http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/mark-zuckerberg-responds-rise-trumpism-n722291
February 17, 2017
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder, wrote in a 5,800-word manifesto his personal vision of recreating the world in his image – an image that includes a true “global community that works for all of us,” he said, in an interview with the Associated Press. …
Like Pope Francis, Mark Zuckerberg is pushing a false gospel.
A gospel where one does not repent towards God and embrace “the faith once delivered to the saints.”
Instead, he and Pope Francis are promoting a worldly view that without repentance, but through international cooperation of unconverted leaders, the world will be able to improve itself and solve its problems.
The Bible says that will not work.
Twice the Bible warns:
There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. (Proverbs 14:12, 16:25)
Instead of humans fixing the world’s problems, Jesus warned:
21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. (Matthew 24:21-22)
As far as the “ecological crisis” that Pope Francis referred to, the Bible shows that it will get much worse:
8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory. (Revelation 16:8-9)
However, the above prophecy is for several years into the future–we are not too near that yet.
But with international efforts to push towards globalism, often now without the USA, the world will create something claimed to fulfill the vision of Pope Francis and Mark Zuckerberg, yet it will not bring lasting peace–it will end in death and destruction.
The Bible is clear that new world will then come. But that will be the millennial Kingdom of God, not the Babylonian world view that Pope Francis and Mark Zuckerberg now seem to be promoting.
