I came not to bring peace, but a sword
Yes. I read about this many moons ago. Pretty scary stuff.
No doubt. And they are commanded to "come out" of that system, not remain there and aid and abet those who promote false religion.I think there are some genuine Christians among Catholics.
First impression: the documents writer's need to use a little bit of formatting.
I suspect - and have heard other believers say the same - that the Pope is the antichrist. How can Catholics who are born again continue to attend a church where they covered up abuse of children?No doubt. And they are commanded to "come out" of that system, not remain there and aid and abet those who promote false religion.
left/right is a way worse religion fwiwNo doubt. And they are commanded to "come out" of that system, not remain there and aid and abet those who promote false religion.
Who decides which denomination is the "false religion"?No doubt. And they are commanded to "come out" of that system, not remain there and aid and abet those who promote false religion.
First I have seen it. What about it? Does it concern you? Do you support it?
I thought you already knew that God and Christ decide this. Please review the letters to the seven churches (Rev 1-3).Who decides which denomination is the "false religion"?
I happen to think the intent is a good thing, and something God set forth for us to try and accomplish in our living. "Get along with all men." "There is no Jew or Gentile, etc." The parable of the Good Samaritan, et al.First I have seen it. What about it? Does it concern you? Do you support it?

We have almost made a religion about breathing the fire of "Them and Us."
Cannot you decide for yourself that Haitian Voodoo is false, or do you need counsel from a superior to inform you?Who decides which denomination is the "false religion"?
Curious Mary
I started to read the document but gave up after reading a few paragraphs. It seems to me the document is promulgating a hidden Catholic agenda and a pretense to work together with Protestants.
@Willie T. said it is the intent however, if the intent is to litter Christendom with false gospels??? Unless, of course, if you believe the doctrines taught in catholicism is circumscribed by the Bible. Just look at their present leadership. He’s been called by many as the Anti-Christ.
@bbyrd009 is correct Jesus did not come to bring peace, but a sword A sword is used either to kill or to save.
Consider the following:
1) What has light to do with darkness?
2) Do not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever.
3) see below
Luke 12:49-59
Another version that I have come to feel is more truthful to the original meaning than most, puts those same verses this way:49) I am come to set fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50} But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51) Suppose ye that I am come to to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52) For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two
against three.
53) The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against
the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against the daughter-in-
law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
Read the rest of the chapter for yourselves.

Hi Enock,I thought you already knew that God and Christ decide this. Please review the letters to the seven churches (Rev 1-3).
Thank you.I happen to think the intent is a good thing, and something God set forth for us to try and accomplish in our living. "Get along with all men." "There is no Jew or Gentile, etc." The parable of the Good Samaritan, et al. We have almost made a religion about breathing the fire of "Them and Us."
I don't know. I doubt if they wanted to go that far. But, I do believe they were smart enough to see that the way we are now going is not God's will, and that we had best try to rectify the mess we have made of things with our destructive divisions.Thank you.
Do you believe their intent was to fulfill 1 Corinthians 1:10 so that there would be no "Them and Us"?
Mary
No. It was devised by deluded though perhaps sincere men attempting to reunite what God divided at Babel. Beware when truth becomes the first casualty...its a sign of war.Thank you.
