January 18 - Jerusalem: Pope Calls for 'True and Real' Peace
Article: Ecumenical Movemrnt - Other Religions Uniting With Roman Catholics
Comment from UTT:
Pope Francis continues to negotiate peace in the middle east by reaching
out to Muslim leaders. While this seems like the right and noble thing
to do, the Bible indicates that human efforts to negotiate peace will
not be successful. Keep in mind the Bible foretells war and chaos in the
middle-east in the future.
Pope
Francis has pledged that
with regard to the Middle East he
"will not fail to continue to invoke God for the
cause of peace, of a true and real peace."
His
commitment came in a letter released by the Vatican
on January 18, 2018.
The Holy Father sent the letter to Dr
Ahmad Al-Tayyib, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, on the
occasion of the International Conference in Support
of Jerusalem,
underway at Al-Azahr, in Egypt, from January 17 to
January 18, 2018.

January 16 - 1 in 5 UK Nonbelievers Prays to God in Times of Crisis; Only 40 Percent Say God Answers Prayers
Article: Signs Of The Last Times
Comment from UTT:
Surveys in the UK show a drastic move away from a belief in God and
prayer. It is now believed that only six percent of the population can
be classified as Christian.
A
new survey on the prayer habits of adults in the
U.K.
has found that just over half turn to prayer,
including one in five of those who describe
themselves as non-religious, particularly at a time
of crisis. The survey, released
on Sunday, was carried out by ComRes on behalf of
the Christian aid agency Tearfund,
found that 51 percent of adults pray.
Only around one in five,
or 20 percent, however, said that they pray
regularly, which was defined as at least once a
month.
Of those who say they are
nonreligious, 55 percent said they pray in times of
personal crisis or tragedy. Thirty-four percent of
nonbelievers said they pray "on the off chance that
something could change," and 23 percent said they do
so to gain comfort or to make them feel less lonely.
Those who identified as
Christians were also most likely to pray in times of
tragedy, at 57 percent; though 45 percent of
believers also said they do so specifically because
they believe in God. Another 38 percent said they
pray because they believe it really makes a
difference.

January 17 - Pope in Chile: unity is not about being the same, but about reconciling diversity
Article: One World Religion
Comment from UTT:
Pope Francis's plea for unity goes beyond Christianity to people of all
faiths to what he calls the "reconciliation of diversity". This agrees
with the agenda that is in place to establish a global religious
unification that will eventually condemn Bible believing Christians.
Pope Francis led the Mass this morning (10
am, local time) in Temuco, some 600 kilometres south of Chile's capital of
Santiago. Some 200,000 people took part in the event amid drums, horns and
traditional indigenous musical instruments, this according to organisers. In his
homily, the Holy Father focused on
building unity through dialogue, where unity does not mean uniformity,
because what Jesus asked for were
"the riches that each
people has to offer" based on a "reconciled diversity" that "will not allow
personal or community wrongs" or accept the notion of "higher or lower
cultures".
