Antipope John Paul II teaches that Jews and Muslims are the spiritual seed of Abraham!

Heresy of the Week, Week of 11/28/03

Antipope John Paul II, Homily, March 7, 1982: “Abraham’s descendants in faith are, in a certain sense, the followers of the three great monotheistic religions of the world: Judaism, Christianity, Islam.  ‘In your descendants all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice’ (Gen. 22:18).” Antipope John Paul II, Address to Roman Citizens, Jan. 15, 1998: “I cordially greet you, Roman citizens, who belong to other religious traditions: you, Jews, heirs to the faith of Abraham, who for centuries have shared in the spiritual and civil life in Rome; you, brothers and sisters of the Christian confessions; you, believers of the Muslim religion.  May common adoration of the Most High foster mutual respect and make you all active builders of an open and united society.” Antipope John Paul II, Homily, Jan. 1, 2002: “This appeal is first and foremost for those who believe in God, in particular for the great ‘Abrahamic religions’: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, called to declare their firm and decisive rejection of violence.”

Comment: When God promised Abraham that, ‘In your descendants all nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice’ (Gen. 22:18),” he was referring to Our Lord Jesus Christ, as St. Paul makes quite clear.

Galatians 3:14- "That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus: that we may receive the promise of the spirit by faith.” Galatians 3:29- “And if you be Christ’s; then you are the seed of Abraham.”

The following truly great Popes make this clear as well.

Pope St. Gregory the Great (+ c. 590): “… if you be Christ’s then you are the seed of Abraham (Gal. 3:29).  If we because of our faith in Christ are deemed children of Abraham, the Jews therefore because of their perfidy have ceased to be His seed.” (Sunday Sermons of the Great Fathers, Vol. 1., p. 92) Pope St. Leo the Great, Dogmatic Letter to Flavian (449), read at Council of Chalcedon (451), ex cathedra: “The promises were spoken to Abraham and his seed.  He does not say “to his seeds” – as if referring to multiplicity – but to a single one, ‘and to thy seed,’ which is Christ (Gal. 3:16).” (Decrees of the Ecumenical Councils, Vol. 1, p. 78.)

Yet, Antipope John Paul II frequently denies this infallible truth of Scripture and Catholic dogma by asserting that the Jews and Muslims are the spiritual descendants or "children" of Abraham!  This is an incredible heresy and denial of Christ.  Notice above how Antipope John Paul II even quotes the promise made to Abraham in Gen. 22:18 and attributes this blessing to Judaism and Islam!  And every time Antipope John Paul II asserts that Muslims and Jews are the spiritual descendants of Abraham, he is directly denying Christ; but that is precisely why he says it - to deny Jesus Christ.

Galatians 3:29- “And if you be Christ’s; then you are the seed of Abraham.”
