"Archbishop: "Muslims Can
Go To Heaven""
Dear John & Doves,
I found the following news item highly disturbing, but
not a
surprise, considering that the apostate so-called 'archbishop'
has already blasphemed God with his embrace of the recent
fake
'bible' which purports to be a new 'translation' of God's
Word.
I have no illusions that Dr. Williams will ever read
my words
on this Forum, but I felt compelled to comment on his
latest
deceptive babbling nevertheless:
>Muslims can go to heaven, says Archbishop
>By Jonathan Petre, Religion Correspondent

>The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, yesterday

It is my belief that King Jesus will properly condemn
Dr. Williams
as a heretic when Williams one day stands before Him.
Williams is
speaking directly against the Holy Spirit by promoting
the view
that there are 'many ways to Heaven' when in fact there
is only ONE,
i.e., Jesus Christ, the only Holy Son of God. Williams
is damning
his own soul, for he is leading others astray with such
teachings.
>In a rare glimpse of his anger over the row that has
overshadowed
>his first two years at Canterbury, Dr Williams said
the debate
>had lacked grace and patience.
Perhaps Dr. Williams preferred the 'grace and patience'
which was
displayed at his honorary induction into the paganistic
Druids in
June of 2002, prior to his promotion to his current vaunted
title
as the 'Archbishop of Canterbury'? On that occasion,
Dr Williams
(given the Bardic name of 'ap Aneurin') said that the
ceremony was
"one of the greatest honours that Wales can bestow on
her citizens"
and then defended the pagan druids by saying: "The suggestion
that
the Gorsedd is even remotely associated with paganism
is deeply
offensive."
It is Dr. Williams who is deeply offensive to all things
Christian.
>He said that this had been aggravated by pressure groups
with
>entrenched positions who posted instant reactions to
events on
>their websites.
Dr. Williams does not comprehend that the ultimate 'pressure
group'
is the Kingdom of God, and that the 'entrenched positions'
of Jesus
Christ, will remain the same, Yesterday, Today and Forever.
Unless
Williams repents of his blasphemies and seeks forgiveness,
he will
be on the outside looking in for all eternity.
>The Archbishop also admitted to failing to live up to
people's
>expectations, a reference to the disappointment many
felt that he
>had not been more radical over his opposition to the
war in Iraq.
Dr. Williams, who in this article appears to be positioning
himself
as a champion for Muslims, ought to ask himself why he
would oppose
the liberation of Iraq, which brought religious freedom
of choice to
millions of Iraqi citizens (most of them Muslims) who
had previously
been oppressed and unable to worship as they wished under
the regime
of Saddam Hussein. If he seeks to advocate on the behalf
of Muslims,
he ought to be praising Tony Blair and George W. Bush
for liberating
the people of Iraq so they can worship in freedom and
without fear.
(I suspect Williams would cut out his own tongue before
he would say
one kind word about either Blair OR Bush...)
>He surprised some at the three-day Greenbelt festival
in Cheltenham,
>Glos, by declaring that Muslims can go to heaven.
If Muslims renounce and reject the satanic death cult
known as Islam,
and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, they
indeed can go
to Heaven. (that probably isn't what Williams had in
mind...)
>Dr Williams said that neither he nor any Christian could
control access
>to heaven. "It is possible for God's spirit to cross
boundaries," he said.
"Possible"? How about "absolutely"? God's Eternal Holy
Spirit knows NO
boundaries whatsoever, for God Almighty is omnipotent,
ominescient and
omnipresent, unconstrained by any laws of physics, time,
space, etc.
>"I say this as someone who is quite happy to say that
Jesus is the way,
>the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father
except by Jesus.
>But how God leads people through Jesus to heaven, that

Williams is entering dangerous territory here. He is
attempting to equate
Jesus Christ with other paganistic idols and beliefs,
in the old satanic
tactic of promoting ecumenicalism, the idea that (once
again) there are
"many ways to Heaven", via "many" beliefs, via "many"
religions, and if
that were so, there would be no need for Jesus Christ
to have been born,
to have been crucified, to have been resurrected, for
out of all of the
'other' ways that Williams is enamored of, there are
more than a few
philosophies which teach the attainment of eternal awards
(i.e. 'heaven')
by self-improvement, by spiritual contemplation techniques
(meditation,
yoga, hypnosis, chants, you name it), all of which discount
the need for
a Personal Saviour, that Saviour being Jesus Christ,
the Holy Son of God.
>During a wide-ranging discussion, Dr Williams reflected
his disappointment
>at the tone of the debate on homosexuality, and his
dismay at the vitriol
>of many of the e-mails he had received.
Alright now: which one of you Five Doves posters have
been emailing Williams
and giving him an earful about his departure from the
Faith? (just kidding)
Seriously, Williams demonstrates that he is more concerned
about defending
the sinful practices of Sodom and Gomorrah. There is
not any 'debate' on
homosexuality, God condemns it, and that's the end of
it. Williams has not
a word to say on the subject, except to either obey God's
Word, or continue
with his apostatic blasphemies. I have concluded that
he will regretfully
continue to defend and condone that which God has called
an "Abomination".
>"It is not so much that we have disagreement in the
Church - that happens,"
>he said. "It is more to do with how those disagreements
are conducted. The
>dismissiveness, the rawness of the anger . . need to
be worked with."
Jesus Christ chose to drive the moneychangers out of
the Temple with a whip,
and His Righteous Anger was fully justified. For all
of Jesus' kindnesses,
for His gentle Spirit, for his Love for all humanity,
Jesus unleashed His
Wrath when it was appropriate to do so. And one day,
I believe Dr. Williams
will experience that Wrath first hand. I would not want
to be in his shoes
on that Day.
>Speaking about the furore that followed the appointment
of the gay cleric
>Dr Jeffrey John as Bishop of Reading, a post from which
Dr John later
>withdrew, Dr Williams said that both sides had suffered
shock.
Dr. Williams is going to be in for the shock of his life
when he discovers
that God will not be mocked.
>Dr John, who was recently installed as Dean of St Albans,

>speaker at the festival yesterday.
>The Archbishop said: "On both sides of the debate as

>a lot of people had to learn that the Church of England

>because what I heard a lot of on both sides of the controversy

us and maybe one
>or two others who don't matter very much'.
Dr. Williams needs to take his pontifications to a more
appropriate venue,
like (perhaps) ...Oprah.
>"I was intrigued by the mirror imaging that went on

>it is not full of enlightened liberals.
I think that even the youngest baby Christians can comprehend
what
Dr Williams and his ilk are 'full of'.
>"Very quickly pressure groups can form and settle and

>stand and invest in where they stand.
Actually, Dr. Williams would have no problem with 'pressure
groups' if
they were all in lockstep with his own abominable, apostate
opinions.
"We haven't had an effective forum in which that process
can be slowed,
not just for the sake of putting things off but for the
sake of mutual
understanding. We haven't quite found that forum yet.
It is not the
General Synod. It is certainly not the trading of websites."
This is what happens when a religious 'leader' becomes
more focused on
social advocacy, on political correctness, on the goal
of giving the
masses 'what they want' instead of what they NEED: which
is the Gospel
of Jesus Christ.
It is my view that Rowan Williams is either a willing,
or unwitting tool
of Satan himself.
