Before I get an answer, I want to say such pastors remind me of a song by Depeche Mode called “Your own personal…Jesus…reach out and touch me.” To outsiders of the non-denominational faiths who have stadium size congregations with first class airfare to deliver “one miracle crusade after another”, it comes to to think or remind me rather that Jesus and the disciples were humble in all ways. And one thing they did not do for sure was instigate, shun or demean other religions in a manner that many Modern Pastors point fingers at Muslim people. Such pastors writebooks about a Doomsday that according to the New Testament only Jesus knows when its is, and such pastors say such things that “People of Aramic and Arabic descent do not have alot of differences.” The implication was that the Jewish people are the favored race to protect as which the United States are. “Judge not, that ye may not be judged: and with what measure ye judged, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye…
mete, it shall be measured back to you again. And why beholdest though the mote that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye;and behold, a beam is in hteir own eye. Thou hypocrite, first cast ou the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out out the mote of thy brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:1-5 NKJV
Such pastors make demonic caricatures of the Islamic faith. Such offeneses may anger anyone of Islam. This anger may lead to violence. So John Hagee–the next time you go running your mouth off about what you Dont know of Islam and your all encompassing stereotypes of who they are think again, because you might cost another 18 year old his life.
Catholicism was the first practice of Christianity through Rome, Italy. Hence the location of the Vatican. The first Christians were not not from Rome but they could get citizenship anyways. Furthermore God does not judge denominations, titles, or birthrights. Soul will be judged by a trial by fire.
