My dear John,

Do you agree with the Pope?

POPE PROCLAIMS HELL 'EXISTS AND IS ETERNAL' Post Wire Services

March 26, 2007 -- ROME - Hell is a place where sinners burn in an eternal fire,
and not just a religious symbol designed to galvanise the faithful, the Pope has
said.
God's mercy and love are great, but those who reject him should know that hell
"exists and is eternal, even if nobody talks about it much any more," Pope
Benedict XVI proclaimed during a weekend visit to a Rome parish.


The Pope, who as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was head of Catholic doctrine, noted
that "forgiveness of sins" for those who repent was a cornerstone
of Christian
belief. He recalled that Jesus had forgiven the "woman taken in
adultery" and
prevented her from being stoned to death, observing: "He that is without sin
among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

So there are few questions araised?

Who does the Pope meant by God's mercy? It is Jesus or the Almighty God?

Who does everyone from time of Adam, Noah, Solomon, John the baptish pray
to ? Jesus or Almighty God?

God had given men and women free will to choose whether "spontaneously to accept
salvation...the Christian faith is not imposed on anyone."

What is mean by Christian faith is not impose on anyone? Let check what are
written in the bible .

Kill People Who Don't Listen to Priests

    Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of
the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil
must be purged from Israel.  (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)








Death to Followers of Other Religions

    Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be
doomed.  (Exodus 22:19 NAB)


Kill Nonbelievers

    They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their
fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the
Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great,
whether man or woman.  (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)

So does the Christian followt the Pope or the Bible? You can't believe both
because it contracdicts.

Is the bible  absolete? Or the Pope is following the Quran, because in the
Quran we cannot force someone to follow Islam. The truth is very clear.

Oh Almighty God, please show us the truth and save us from the hell fire.

AMEN
