[ April 26, 2024 ]
To be precise, it was Ireland’s Croke Park Stadium, not a proper mosque, but what happened there was no joke. ChurchMilitant.com reported that on Friday, July 31, Ireland’s top Catholic prelate, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, “joined Muslims in celebrating a key Islamic festival which falsifies the Bible by declaring that the patriarch Abraham took Ishmael, not Isaac, to be sacrificed on Mount Moriah.” Also present was Jewish Rabbi Zalman Lent, who enthused “it is special we can all sit here together … as brothers.”
Martin was just as enthusiastic, saying: “Today marks a new chapter in the history of Croke Park. Today our celebration is a gesture of recognizing publicly the place of the Muslim community as an integral part of the family of the Irish and to recognize the contribution of your Muslim community to the Ireland of today and to the Ireland of tomorrow.”
As I told Church Militant, Martin’s complacent satisfaction was all the more disgraceful in light of the fact that at the time the Eid celebration was held, the Catholic faithful still are in many places deprived of the sacraments and subject to immense and unprecedented restrictions on their worship, the bishops wouldn’t dare miss an Islamic celebration. In this event we see yet again the Catholic hierarchy’s endless solicitude for Muslims and Islam, and its disdain for actual Catholics.
Story continues below advertisement
What is unusual in this case is that some Catholics stood up against this exercise in a self-defeating and pointless dialogue that has never saved one single Christian from Muslim persecution, or prevented any jihadists from destroying even just one church.
Martin’s participation was all the more unconscionable that they would be celebrating Eid al-Adha, the day on which Muslims sacrifice animals in honor of Abraham sacrificing Ishmael — not Isaac.
When Diarmuid Martin and Zalman Lent think of Abraham, they probably think of Genesis 22:15-18, in which Abraham is rewarded for his faith and told he will become a blessing to the nations: “by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because you have obeyed my voice.”
But their Muslim friends don’t read Genesis. They read the Qur’an. Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son (who is not named) is recounted in 37:102-109. Islamic tradition holds that the son Abraham sacrificed was Ishmael, and that the Bible’s saying he was Isaac is more evidence of the Bible’s corruption. Martin and Lent were inadvertently reinforcing that view by participating in this event.
Even worse, in sura 60, Allah says that Abraham is an “excellent example” (uswa hasana, أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ, a term applied also to Muhammad in 33:21) for the believers when he tells his pagan family and people that “there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever, unless ye believe in Allah and him alone” (v. 4). The same verse goes on to say that Abraham is not an excellent example when he tells his father, “I will pray for forgiveness for you.” Hatred is held up as exemplary; forgiveness is explicitly declared to be not exemplary.
Martin and Lent were thus reinforcing a worldview that takes for granted the legitimacy of everlasting enmity and hatred between Muslims and non-Muslims — and doing so precisely in the context of trying to build bridges between Muslims and non-Muslims.
This disgraceful event shows the priorities of the Catholic hierarchy today, and those of Leftist clerics in general. Islam is the preferred religion of the Left, and that holds true even when the leftists in question are clerics of different faiths.
And even worse, the endless solicitude of Leftist Jewish and Christian clerics for Islam will never be reciprocated. The Muslims who greeted Martin and Lent at Croke Park Stadium thought of them as unbelievers from among the People of the Book, people whom the Qur’an terms “the most vile of created beings” (98:6). They almost certainly thought that before this event, and they continued to think it afterward. The words of the Qur’an will never be erased. A pious, knowledgeable, believing Muslim will never disregard those words just because an infidel, who is akin to an animal (Qur’an 8:55) shows him kindness.
The command will remain: “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers, merciful to one another” (Qur’an 48:29). That is something you will never hear from the likes of Zalman Lent and Diarmuid Martin. But it remains in the Islamic holy book nevertheless.

I put my total and complete trust in YESHUA, the name above ALL names. His mama didn’t call Him Jesus – there is no “J” in Hebrew. His name is YESHUA, which means SALVATION. Not the slur of “Jesus” the Hellenic Greek Pagans chose to tag Him with!

Judeo- Christian law permits Priests and Rabbis to be stupid.
The Old Testament is full of examples of silly things the Isrealites did. God punished them for stupidity, but He never took away the human capacity to choose between good and evil. So it is our job to perceive evil, and to do what we can to suppress it. But we can never get rid of it.

SATAN WON THAT ONE for those who are ignorant of God’s Word, but he will NOT win the final war when JESUS CHRIST appears.
There is NO NEED for Priests in any religion according to the Bible and in Jesus’ own words, because there is a NEW COVENANT IN JESUS CHRIST, 1 Peter 2:9 we read: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:”
So, those who belong to Jesus ARE OF THE ROYAL PRIESTHOOD. Priests in Catholic Churches, merely mortal men, especially those who set themselves ABOVE their congregation, are NOT HOLY MEN. Your name is either written in the BOOK OF LIFE, which makes you part of that ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, or it is not written in the BOOK OF LIFE, which makes you UNHOLY AND UNGODLY.

I typically secure nearly 6,000 $-8,000 $ each and every 1 month via the internet. It is indeed satisfactory to doubtlessly replace my prior work net earnings, specially taking into consideration I only just do the work approximately 20 hr a week from home. I have obviate my occupation after doing work for same organisation for several months, I required very reliable source of income. I wasn’t looking for any make money programs which promises to make you cash rich mere few days that you see all around the internet. Probably the most exciting part of doing work online is that I am always home with the children and also enjoy a lot free time together with my loved ones on many amazing beaches of the attractive countries. Honestly,it is simpler than you would believe, all you need to do is submit a very simple form to receive front line access to the Home Profit System. The directions have been in very straightforward language, you don’t have to be a computer professional, however, you should possess skills to use internet. It is as easy as being on Youtube.

Remember Chamberlain and his “Peace In Our Time” debacle? Can’t these opportunistic “holy men” remember the history of islam, how it raped, murdered and enslaved throughout history? For example, 80,000,000 Hindus murdered, a good many by decapitation by their muslim invaders? The raids on Europe for white slaves? The attempted invasion of Europe, and the islamic slaughter of any who protested? How it wants to eliminate any belief or administrative system other than their own?

The VERY first Papal trip that the newly elected Pope Francis made was to the tiny Italian island of Lampedustra which had been swamped with an invasion of Muslims that have destroyed the local tourist trade and unleashed, arson, theft, assault and fear on this peacful ITALIAN CATHOLIC island. But did he go to see HIS flock there? NO he went to visit the MUSLIMS in their camp and even wagged his finger at his the CATHOLIC people of Lampedustra for not being ‘welcoming’ enough. I had his number then.

Around about 900AD, ‘Saint Malachi’ (a catholic bishop at that time), prophesied that the 112th Pope would destroy the Catholic Church and be seated at the time of ‘judgement’. Francis is the 112th.

ALL of them have been since Constantine in the 3rd century!! And all the “Protestant” churches, which still use much of what Constantine insinuated into the religion he created and called “Christianity” are just little sisters of the Whore of Babylon.

Hagar took her son Ishmael back to Egypt and married him to an Egyptian woman. They lived outside of Cairo and had a lot of children. Egyptians are NOT Arabs, Ishmael was not an Arab and not a Muslim. Later when Muslims conquered Egypt, some Egyptians became Muslims because this meant they could get a job and have a more pleasant life. Abraham had nothing to do with Islam and Ishmael — Abraham had nothing to do with Islam in any way, not in Cairo or anywhere — Muslims lie and try to propose this because they want to be included in the great Judeo/Christian majority, of which they have NO part.

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are the FATHERS of our faith. We know that to be fact and God found MUCH favor in them. AND: Yeshua didn’t come to start a new religion. The earlier followers of Messiah were called “The Way.” They were mostly wiped out in the 3rd Century by Constantine because they observed the Messiah’s Sabbath and Constantine wanted to create an INCLUSIVE religion that would assuage the Pagans of Rome, so he called it “Christianity” and packed it full of things like celebrating the Pagan goddes Ishtar (Pagans dipped eggs in baby’s blood to celebrate the fertility birthday), but then the name was changed to “Easter.” He did a similar thing by saying Messiah was born during the winter, which scripture proves incorrect, He was born during Feast of Tabernacles in the fall – because God wanted to TABERNACLE with His people. And Constantine called it “Christmas.” But we all know a Catholic mass is said for the DEAD and MY Redeemer LIVES and my fellowship celebrates His birthday WHEN He was born – in the fall at Sukkot.
Much more can be said of the horrific changes made that the first believers in Messiah never observed, but Pagan Rome DID. And NOW all the protestent churches keep “man’s traditions,” rather than God’s Sabbaths and Feasts. What a TRAGEDY that is for those who don’t know how things have been twisted since the 3rd century! But what JOY those of us experience when we worship Him as He WANTS to be worshiped!
