In this Study Series, we will examine from Scripture:
The Key to ‘Life’
The Definition of a ‘Living Soul’?
The Temporal Life in Man,
The Definition of ‘Death’
The Place and State of the Dead
As you read through the various Articles and Study Series I've posted in this website, you will note that the topic of my writing always concerns Christ and our living relationship with Him. I thought some may want to know who I am and my point of view.
Every Christian is the product of their life experiences and God's intervention in their lives. I'm just like you if you too are a believer who has received the regenerating "Spirit of life in Christ Jesus." We thus are recipients of God the Father's grace, love and His literal life, received in the person His Son, Jesus Christ, as "the Spirit of life" (Rom 8:2a, cf., 2Cor 3:17, 1John 4:13). Christ literally indwells our spirit (cf., John 3:6, 1Cor 6:17, Rom 8:16) as our new and eternal life (Col 3:4, Gal 2:20). See more.
Cardinal Dolan delivers a 'Ramadan message' shaming all Catholics into praying for 'our Muslim brothers and sisters' continuing the work Pope Francis has done with his Islam AllianceAs Pope Francis lays in his hospital bed, and quite possibly his death bed as his condition continues to worsen, Cardinal Timothy Dolan took to his Podcast to deliver a stunning message on the Muslim holiday of Ramadan that starts today. In that message, Dolan refers them as "our Muslim brothers and sisters", sparking quite the controversy online. Calling Muslims as "brothers and sisters" implies there is a bond connecting the two religions that are very far apart. Yes, not as far as you might think when you consider the alliance forged by Pope Francis over the past 12 years between Islam and the Roman Catholic Church. Has Ash Wednesday become the 'Catholic Ramadan', as Cardinal Dolan suggests? It sure has and a whole lot more than that, and that's the memo. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" Amos 3:3 (KJB) Cardinal Dolan said he was giving this message to "shame Catholics" into becoming more like Muslims, and concluded his fiery missive by saying "let's unite with our Muslim brothers and sisters in prayer and fasting." Dolan even went so far to call the Roman observance of Ash Wednesday as the 'Catholic Ramadan'. Wow, there's a lot to unpack there. So let's do a quick review of the foundation for all this laid by Pope Francis. Please take a moment to click on these links to refresh your memory about the alliance Pope Francis created between Islam and the Roman Catholic Church.
So you see, the "shocking message" delivered by Cardinal Dolan is absolutely on target with the official stance the Roman Catholic pope has taken on Mohammed's religion of Allah. Even if Pope Francis does not survive his current health crisis, the work he has put in place with Islam and the Muslims will live on into the arrival of Antichrist in the time of Jacob's trouble. Was Cardinal Dolan way off base when he demanded that all Roman Catholics 'pray for our Muslim brothers and sisters' this Ramadan? Not according to the work Pope Francis has already done since 2019 in forging an alliance between Islam and the Vatican. pic.twitter.com/VhD6CU3njZ — Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) March 1, 2025
