Bible Page Fused to Steel From 9/11 Says...

While I personally have no interest in Pope Francis and that guy is opposing the Bible, here was something that was uncovered during his brief visit to the 9/11 Memorial Museum. That stuck page had these words permanently exposed from the Gospel of Matthew and it was from a King James, red-letter version:

Retaliation.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

God commands us to forgive and even if we are not to tolerate error, we are not to hold grudges against people who wronged us. The problem with Islam is that it hardly believes in forgiveness, it misapplies the eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. If we are to take a look at Matthew 5:38 (the verse that widely exposed), I would now present another verse that is included in that chapter:

Matthew 5:43-44

Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt love thine neighbor and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you;

John Calvin also said, "But when a man not only keeps himself from revenging the injuries which he has received but endeavors to overcome evil by doing good, he manifests one of the graces of a renewed and sanctified nature and in this way proves himself to be one of the children of God for such meekness only proceeds from the Spirit of adoption." Calvin did not invent what he said, he was simply verifying the truth of Scripture when it comes to forgiveness.

I find myself guilty of being unable to forgive people who slander me and in return, end up slandering others because of unforgiveness. It's only by God's grace that a Christian forgives and loves their enemies. That's why I don't focus on singling out Vatican agents. Instead, I spend my time praying for them that they will be saved before it's too late.
