Roman Catholic head Pope Benedict XVI will meet Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah next week for talks expected to center on Christian-Islam relations, the Vatican said Wednesday.
The talks, the first between a Saudi monarch and a pope, will take place next Tuesday. Abdullah, currently in Britain, will be in Italy to meet government officials.
The Vatican does not have formal diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia and relations have been strained. The Vatican has often called for greater rights for the small Christian minority there.
The Christians, mostly guest workers, are not allowed to practice their faith in public, the Vatican says....
You have got some nerve questioning whether my father is in Heaven. My father received Christ as his Personal Savior in a fox hole in New Guinea during World War II and thus my father is in Heaven because the only requirement for gaining entrance into Heaven is to receive Christ as ones Personal Savior.
Y'all are forgetting about the Saudi King. They met as world leaders. End of story. Now get out there and witness to some Catholics and Muslims and show them the love of Jesus, instead of chatting on this forum and vegetating in your pajamas all day.
but not free will. No, G.G., "The New Catholic Evangelization" won't work on us, though it may work on some Presbyterians that have gone to [bad] seed.

One has to remember how duplicitous the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church is, "Understanding Islam and Roman Catholicism"

The meeting described in the article was like a convention (of two) used car dealers. They were just exchanging idea on how to sell the customer a bill of goods.
Mary said yes GG HER words were"behold the hand maid of the Lord;be it unto me according to thy word. Must have been every virgins dream at that time.Ish 7-14,9-6. No way could She just refuse the Lords word...but not like you GG,you deny it on here all the time
How wrong you are Jim, but I am not surprised. God gave us his son, and Jesus volunteered, but Mary said, "Yes" to God. Proving both that God respects "Free Will", whether you believe we have it or not, and that we are truly "co-workers" in God's Salvation plan.
Mary gave nothing whatsoever, G.G., God gave us his Son, and the Son volunteered. "What Is the Unique Role of Mary in Roman Catholicism and Is It Biblical? - Part 1"
It should be pointed out,"Support the lesser evil [in Saudi Arabia] http://www.danielpipes.org/article/1842
This double-tongued pope, but so they all are, should remember,'he quoted Emperor Manual II Paleologos of the Byzantine Empire, the Orthodox Christian empire which had its capital in what is now the Turkish city of Istanbul.
The emperors words were, he said: "Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."'
I would have it "backwards" if I believed that Jesus wouldn't forgive my sins. While YOU are merely worried about 'going to Hell'. We say, "...I am heartly sorry for 'HAVING OFFENDED Thee, and I detest of ALL MY SIN, because of thy 'just punishment', BUT MOST OF ALL, because I have OFFENDED THEE, MY GOD, WHO ART ALL GOOD and deserving of ALL MY LOVE". Try telling your wife that you are only sorry for lying to her, because of the 'conniption fit' that she threw, rather than the hurt and loss of trust that your actions caused. You have it backwards. Saying "I'm sorry" won't work, but, "...I firmly resolve to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin.... does!

GG You have it so backwards, how?, I don't know if you belive the lie because of satan, or from God because of the hardness of your heart. The things you list, Death,destruction,disease,....all results of sin, not other things. Yes Jesus will save you from sin, Backwards again, when you are saved, your saved from God (The Father), from His wrath GG, not from sin (con't) Untill justice, there is no forgivness. God is justice, sin must be delt with. Thats what Jesus did, He took Gods wrath for you, He didn't do that to take away your sins, how can you take back your sins, you think Im sorry is good enough? After your saved, then your sins will go away, The Holy Spirit will accomplish that. Mary, again backwards, Mary gave birth, not Mary gave us a saviour. God The Father gave us a saviour, Mary although a very special person, it says something, don't know what for sure but she was used by God, to give birth GG, whatever your name is, God knows who you are, Im glad I don't, its sad .
Sorry...when I said there were other ways to be saved, I didn't mean from sin, but from death, destruction, disease, famine, and from your enemies. As I said, only Jesus saves from sin. Esther saved her people from massacre, Mary gave us a Saviour, he Redeemed us, and in him is our Salvation.

GG You are in serious sin there, very serious sin, for your statement makes Jesus out to be a liar.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Which goes along with: John 10:1-7 1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold,
but climbeth up some other way,
the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Agreed. Only Jesus saves his people from their sins, but there are other ways that the people can be saved. And God desired Mary's participation in Salvation history, and because of her, we have a Savior who is both God and man. Jesus could have appeared out of thin air, but then his claim that he understands our humaness would ring hollow. God required that a woman give his son a physical body, and being a gentle God, who respects human will, he asked her cooperation, he did not command it. Now, because of her, we are saved from the darkness of sin, but it was Jesus whose blood washes us clean.
