Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exodus 20:3
"During a July 3, 2023, interview with Al-Ittihad, an Arabic-language
newspaper published in the United Arab Emirates, Pope Francis affirmed
that the existence of all the different faiths in our world is part of
the will of God.
During the interview, Pope Francis was asked about the
Abrahamic House, human fraternity, and the coexistence of religions, to
which he responded in part:
• “Regarding the Abrahamic House, I consider it a place of respect for the diversity that God willed.”
• “The Abrahamic House – consisting of three places of worship: a church
dedicated to St. Francis, a mosque and a synagogue – was born to
fulfill the principle of human fraternity.”
• “The Abrahamic House is a place for respecting diversity, which God willed, and not turning difference into contempt or a cause for conflict.”
According to Pope Francis, the diversity of religions was God’s will,
which means that our Heavenly Father commanded that false beliefs exist
and be embraced.
These are concerning statements that suggest that God actively willed
into existence the diversity of religions. These statements contradict
the very theme of the entire Bible, both the Old and New Testaments.
Q: Why did God give a 10 Commandment moral law that forbids the worship of
other gods if it was His will that these gods be worshiped?"
