Pope Francis Desire To Change Lord’s Prayer Confirms Catholic Church Wrong On The Bible





In an interview with an Italian TV network, the pontiff said this week that the current language of the Our Father prayer “is not a good translation.”
In Italian, and similarly in English the prayer asks God to “lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” But, says Francis, it’s not the Lord that tempts.
“It is not He that pushes me into temptation and then sees how I fall,” Francis said in Italian. “A father does not do this.”
Francis pointed out that just a few days ago, France’s Catholic church adopted new phrasing in its version of the Lord’s Prayer.

This is a stunning admission by the Pope that the Catholic Church’s interpretation of a Scripture could have been wrong for so long! Especially a passage that every Catholic knows through endless repetition. It makes me wonder if this is just another step of the Pope to build solidarity with the greater Christian world out of compromise with the Bible.
Protestants have known for centuries the Lord’s prayer is more accurately translated “lead us away from temptation.” Of course we do not have to beg God to not tempt us. James is very clear on this point. “Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone” (James 1:13).
Reading back history, it started with the introduction of idols in the church claiming they meant no harm. They were supposed to bring faithfuls closer to God. It then became the Sabbath, catholic church said Sunday is supposed to be in honor of the ressurection. So we can break one commandment, the Sabbath, and ‘console’ God with a day he never consencrated.
In between these, there have been lots of compromises including the pope saying the Bible and Koran are both divinely inspired, Islam and Christianity are like brothers and sisters and much more.
The Pope is going for his one world religion and he clearly does not mind destroying the word of God along the way.

Are you over 100? Then you've got a better chance of living even longer!

It’s considered an inescapable fact of life: the older you get, the more likely death becomes. But a new research conucted in Germany disproves of that suggestinh that the chances of dying may level off – at least for those who make it to 105 years old. The study found that death rates, which rise exponentially in adulthood, begin to decelerate after 80 years old and appear to eventually plateau, or even decline slightly, after the age of 105. By that point, the chances of passing away in a given year are approximately 50-50. “It’s the equivalent of tossing a coin each year,” said Prof Jim Vaupel, a specialist in ageing at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Germany and one of the authors. The findings add fuel to an unusually hostile debate between two camps of scientists, who are locked in an escalating dispute about whether humans are approaching their upper limit in terms of lifespan. The latest paper, from Vaupel’s team who argue there is no evidence of a loom...

UPDATED: Swansea hire Carvalhal as boss until end of season

Premier League strugglers Swansea City appointed Carlos Carvalhal as their manager until the end of the season on Thursday. Carvalhal was sacked by second-tier Sheffield Wednesday on Christmas Eve, but Swansea surprisingly chose the Portuguese coach to replace Paul Clement, who lost his job on December 20 with the club languishing at the bottom of the Premier League. The Welsh club said Carvalhal’s contract included the option of an extension at the end of the season. “We felt we needed to get the managerial situation resolved as soon as possible and while the timing is not always perfect, we can look forward to the second half of the campaign with renewed optimism,” Swanseachairman Huw Jenkins said. To convince Swansea to keep him beyond this season, Carvalhal might have to save his new club from relegation. They sit five points from safety and bottom of the table with no wins in their last four matches after a 5-0 thrashing at Liverpool on Tuesday. Carvalhal is Swansea’s fifth...

Iranian police arrest 29 for involvement in hijab protests

Police in the Iranian capital, Tehran, have arrested 29 people for their involvement in protests against the country's compulsory headscarf law. Masih Alinejad, the Iranian activist behind the "White Wednesday" social media campaign against mandatory hijabs, who is now based in the US, told CNN that the movement has not been influenced from abroad. The wave of anti-goverment demonstrations last month was sparked by concerns over rising living costs and a stagnant economy, but also provided an opening for Iranian women to push for equal rights. In the past, women who allowed their hijab to slip could be admonished by the religious police, but these forces have been less prominent under the regime of President Hassan Rouhani. Soheila Jaloodarzadeh, a female member of the Iranian Parliament, said on Wednesday during an event on women's rights that the protests were the conclusion of years of restrictions, the semiofficial Ilna news agency reported.
