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.

World’s first sex shop shuts down, declares bankruptcy

Germany’s pioneering sex shop chain, Beate Uhse, said Friday that it has filed for insolvency, as the empire started by a female World War II pilot fails to rise to the challenge posed by erotic e-commerce. In its hey day, the group sold lingerie, erotic films and sex products. Uhse began her foray into erotic business in 1946, when she put together a pamphlet called “Document X” describing how women could avoid pregnancy. In post-war Germany, her advice was in high demand and she sold thousands of copies of her brochures. The mail order business thrived and the former fighter pilot and member of the Luftwaffe opened in 1962 her first shop in the German town of Flensburg. Named Institute of Marital Hygiene, the store selling lingerie and contraceptives became the world’s first sex shop. Her activities often ran counter to the morality of post-war Germany and she was called before the courts in thousands of legal suits filed against her. Yet she remained frank and unashamed about...

John McCain has brain cancer, his office says.

Veteran US Republican Senator John McCain has been diagnosed with brain cancer and is reviewing treatment options, according to his office. The options may include chemotherapy and radiation, his doctors said. The 80-year-old politician is in "good spirits" recovering at home. The tumour was discovered during a surgery to remove a blood clot from above his left eye last week. A Vietnam veteran, Mr McCain spent more than five years as a prisoner of war. The six-term senator and 2008 Republican presidential candidate underwent surgery at a clinic in Phoenix, in the state of Arizona, last Friday. Tissue analysis revealed that a primary brain tumour known as glioblastoma was associated with the clot, a statement from the Mayo Clinic said. "The senator's doctors say he is recovering from his surgery 'amazingly well' and his underlying health is excellent," it added.

When will President Buhari be considered incapacitated?

AT the homestretch of the 2015 presidential election, the Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election campaign team challenged then candidate Muhammadu Buhari to a sport contest. When the gauntlet was left unpicked, the team in a follow up, set the internet abuzz with the juxtaposition of the pictures of President Jonathan and members of  his Federal Executive Council jogging and that of not-too-good- looking candidate Buhari. The challenge which came on the heels of simmering conjectures on the health condition of candidate Buhari was aimed at passing one message which is: President Jonathan is healthier than candidate Buhari to carry out the duties of the office of president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. But was “health” given a premium in the election?  The vuvuzelas of the opposition party was so fortissimo that not even the yawping of Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state could be heard. They rally-cried “Nigeria sai changi” and people responded wi...
