Osama bin Laden, Listen to the Priest!

[tdstec1]

we love you, Father. Thank you for helping us to find the way

[tdstec1]

blessed are the peacemakers, for they will inherit the earth. please God, teach us to love better

[stp1311]

God please forgive the vitriolic hate-filled lost people who have posted here against my dear Brother in Christ, Msgr. John Esseff. Until we have peace inside ourselves there will never be peace in the world. Dedicate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus before eternity begins and this short life ends.

[pito469]

You are an asshole and no one should listen to you!!!! Not only are you crazy but you have no idea what you are talking about. It seems like you just like to hear yourself talk. At one point in my life you were a formation director and you were no good at that and now you are trying to reinvent yourself in another way which is not working.

[qaliwal]

fuck you and your jesus,ask your soldiers how many mosques have they destroyed in iraq and afghanistan.that basturd is drunk and he is not comming back mr essef.

[Omar20Musa]

@qaliwal You idiot dont you know that muslims believe in Jesus peace bu upon him aswell? We believe that he is a messenger of Allah but not his son.

[Islamistprolatarian]

I like this guy, hes like a loving grandfather.

[digger629]

OK, my mistake,,,I left out an "a" in one of my posts...the others I didn't. It was a mistake...it wasn't because I didn't know how to spell allah!!! Maybe you should cut off my hands for doing that.

[bondra1281]

I doubt Osama Bin Laden spends his time watching youtube videos. I also doubt building a Christian church in Saudi Arabia is at the top of his things to do list right now. I know he has good intentions, but doubt Bin Laden will ever see it or care if he did.

[margottelint]

But I pray that God will protect him in his efforts.

[margottelint]

Jesus may be regarded as prophet in Islam, but don't you think Osama KNOWS that Jesus is GOD to US?? And based on THAT they consider us infidels.... And their Koran also tells them to annihilate infidels, doesn't it? I am impressed with this priest for his peace-and-love outreach efforts but unless he is willing to say "Jesus is Lord" and defend the divinity of Christ before Osama and tell him that "no one comes to the Father except through" Jesus.....I won't know what to make of his speech.

[claydog2197]

u r a good man

[digger629]

Can a "living saint" make a mistake?

[lovesjesus928]

Monsignor is a living saint i have known him for over 50 years and he only prays to one God. and loves us all. God bless Monsignor Esseff he is a living saint.

[dugw15]

All Christians are living saints. It's in the Bible.

[digger629]

TODAYS HEADLINES->  Muslims Attack 110 Homes of Christians in Pakistan.

If we serve the same god, why are muslims trying to kill all christians & Jews?

I rest my case.

[digger629]

I don't need you to tell me what he meant. I know what he meant. You don't.

I have studied islam doctrine for 35 years. I know what they mean when they say allah.

people like you are the reason there are over 2500 religions in the world today. You are deceived if you think that Jesus and alah are the same god.

I challenge you to find out for yourself if allah has a son...he does not!

Jesus did not die on the cross in islamic doctrine. You, smart guy, check that out and get back to me.

[TheRoyalFreshness69]

I love how you've studied the "islam doctrine for 35 years", and still don't know how to spell "Allah" correctly...

[digger629]

Quote> "There is no god of islam and god of Christianity, There is no God but God."

Where does he make the distinction here? Most listeners who do not know better would think he was saying that the muslim god and the Christian God was one.

Don't try and tell me that he meant something else. He didn't!

Build a Catholic church in Saudia Arabia???

What god will you worship? Allah or Jesus?

[capone70]

No, "Most listeners" aren't as dense as you are, so no need to worry. What he said was pretty clear. You seem to be the only one having the problem here. And I already explained what he meant. You are wrong. By the way, "Allah" is simply the word in Arabic for "God". Mohammedans use it to mean "Yahweh" or God's "real" name, but Arabic speaking Christians use it simply to mean "god". So, Allah/Jesus will be worshiped. You really aren't too bright, are you?

[capone70]

Actually Msgr, you may be unaware of the current negotiations between the Vatican and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to build a church there.

[digger629]

"not your typical parish priest"

He should spend more time learning Christian doctrine and then he would know that the God of Christians is NOT THE god OF islam!

I know you Catholics don't care about Bible Doctrine, that is why this man could do or say no wrong in your eyes. You have been taught since childhood that the priest is always right.

How often do you read and study your Bible? Do you really love Jesus Christ? I'm praying for YOU! Wake Up.

[capone70]

Unfortunately you are a very misguided and clueless. We don't believe the priests can do no wrong. We hear the bible weekly during our liturgy and study it in private on our own. We know more about Christian doctrine than you ever will, since we get it directly through God from apostolic succession, wheras you follow the teachings of a man. We belong to the church founded by God at pentecost where as you belong to some sect founded by a man. YOU need to wake up.

[digger629]

To supbigc->

I know that there is only one true God, but if I believe he has a fat belly and sits on a table, am I correct in my belief? I better answer that myself. I don't trust you people here to even know the correct answer. NO, I am not correct in my belief.

If my belief in God does not match up with the Bibles description of Him...I am wrong.

[digger629]

Can't you people read? Can't you people listen to words? Because I correct an error he has made, I am persecuting him??????? Get a life. I will not leave this sight until I can convince you defenders of error that you are wrong. Read my reason for saying he is wrong and maybe you will get it. I don't know whats wrong with you people.

Islams god does not have a son...DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?? HOW CAN I SAY IT ANY CLEARER?

My God has a Son->Jesus Christ!

How is my statement persecution?

[capone70]

Either you don't have the ability to listen well or you are just dense (and at this point I have my suspicions). The Msgr did NOT say Islam's version of God is correct. He said there is JUST ONE GOD. Jews don't believe in the Trinity, yet we as Christians understand they worship God as was revealed to them in the Old Testament. Same God, different understanding.

[lovesjesus928]

Digger why are you persecuting a man of Jesus WHO I KNOW IS A HOLY MAN WHO IS LOVED BY MANY AND ONLY WANTS TO HELP US FIND JESUS AND

THE HOLY SPIRIT. IF ANYONE CAN BRING JESUS TO THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR BELEIVE - IT IS MONSIGNOR JOHN ESSEFF- A TRULY BLESSED MAN. WE LOVE YOU MONSIGNOR JOHN. I HAVE KNOWN YOU FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND YOUR ARE A COMFORT TO MANY .WE WILL KEEP YOU IN OUR PRAYERS.

[buzzmcho1]

"whatever you think God is, God is not that."

[supbigc]

in a sense yes and in a sense no....God is Ineffable, but he has also revealed himself, perhaps this is part of His greatness, that he both reveals in truth and remains hidden in greatness.

[supbigc]

I also know Msgr. Esseff...and you are vastly misinterpreting what he is saying at 6:21 in that there is "no God but God"....his is a statement against an assembly of Gods (a type of relativism today)..a God of Christianity, a God of Hindus, a God of Islam and is a reaffirmation of Exodus that there is only One God ...who Msgr. Esseff knows and not just believes is Jesus Christ and that the one God of us all is these things: Merciful, Kind, Compassionate...He is in no way denying Jesus Christ!

[digger629]

WOW, i"ve heard it all now ... A homosexual defending the errors of a Catholic priest. I wonder why he would do that??? Could it be_____________

[digger629]

Once again> another person defending this mans error. Dosen't truth matter anymore? THIS MAN IS WRONG!!! Can I say it any louder.

The god of islam is NOT the same God that Christians worship. I don't care if this monsignor has wings and a halo over his head...HE IS WRONG!

BTY> All of you defending his errorous statement are wrong also!

[digger629]

To moorkeith>

621 into the video He dogmatically says that there is no god but god. (The muslim god is the same as the Christian God)

That is not so and that is what I stated he said. Why do you defend error?

I do know what I am talking about...I studied islam and the muslims doctrine for 30 years.

[Sprocket32]

Father, get back to your parish, work for you people, be a good example of someone who loves Jesus and drop the Messiah complex. You're becoming a silly old man.

[11zorrita]

Sprocket32, perhaps it is you who is the foolish child. An old man's vision may fade, which allows his heart to see more clearly. Perhaps he knows what many of us can not yet know because of the handicap of youthful eyes.

[lovesjesus928]

monsignor is a missionary not your typical parish priest. he travels doing missionary - Gods work. God Bless you Monsignor John we love you.

[digger629]

How do you equate correction with persecution??? Did you read my comment? The man is wrong! allah is not the god of the Christian Bible. It is not called persecution to inform someone when they are wrong, Is it? Am I wrong? Please, I ask you show me where I am wrong. You are just like all the Pharacies who have a form of Christianity but inside all you are is a religious empty shells.

To moorkeith You like to add your comments to other peoples posts but don't allow them on yours! WHY?

[moorkeith]

He did not say that Allah is the god of the Christian Bible. And yes, I admit, at times I am probably very pharisitcal. Please pray for me.

In Jesus, the Son of God, k  (and I will change my reply options Digger, Ididn't know it was set up this way. Peace)

[digger629]

Monsignor, It is because of people like yourself that there are over 2000 religions in the world today. You act like you know what you are talking about, but I assure you , you don't. I have one question for you.

How can allah be god? ... The koran says, that allah has NO SON. Your Bible says, over and over that Jesus is the Son of God.

The koran says, "Jesus was NOT crucified"... My Bible and yours says, Jesus was crucified.

I suggest you learn your Christian doctrine.

[moorkeith]

Digger, digger, digger, why are you persecuting a man of Jesus who means only good and not evil? You have no idea what he is talking about. It is clear by your anger and your questions that you can not see the forest for the trees.. think Digger, pray Digger, and stop kicking against the goads. Jesus be praised!

[moorkeith]

Incredible! WATCH THIS OSAMA  and OBAMA..

[Avocata33]

If anyone can bring Jesus to the heart of Bin Laden, it is this man. Love you and praying for you, Monsignor!! You will do it! I know you will.
