I am about to wade into something that is likely to piss off many of the Catholic faith.
With that in mind, let me say to you in advance, these remarks of this socialist MAN in charge of your Church should be red flags to you all to reconsider where you attend church, and what that Church actually teaches.
IF it is NOT in the BIBLE, then do not go there or listen to them because if GOD didn't write it down
"for instruction in righteousness" (doing right),
and for daily living to PLEAE HIM (the whole duty of man), and to keep his commandments he gave to us, (whole duty of man), then it is not a real Church.
Remember that SATAN, also known as Lucifer, was God's highest created being. He decided one day that he was somehow equal to God and better and began recruiting Angels to his side. There was a war in heaven, and God and His angels cast out of heaven one third of the created angels including Lucifer, Son of the Morning.
You know these beings today as Demons here on this planet.
Lucifer is the GREAT IMITATOR. God has and is a TRINITY and Lucifer has set up a Trinity. God has HIW WORD in a BIBLE, and Lucifer has lots of imitations to confuse people with.
They cannot all be the WORDS of GOD folks.
God did promise to keep and preserve HIS WORDS and they will always be preserved but Lucifer does not want YOU to actually have it, hence there are literally over 25 false versions of the preserved Words of God that were left us by HIS holy men of old, known as Apostles, prophets, and of course Patriarchs like Abraham and Moses and Noah.
This NUT called POPE FRANCIS grows increasingly dangerous and shows his real inner self every time he opens his worldly mouth.
WHO determines what SIN IS?????? WHO alone in the entire universe which God created, and it is ever expanding, determines what SIN is, and what exactly is it?
IT IS a HOLY, PURE, RIGHTEOUS, being who cannot even stand to LOOK upon or at sin and sent HIS SON to redeem us from our SINS so we could be in heaven with HIM if we ACCEPT HIS SON'S SACRIFICE as payment for our sins and we trust in Him and Him alone. There is nothing you or I can do to repay our sin debt.
The least of our sins is enough to put us in hell because GOD HATES SIN and NO SIN will ever enter into HIS HEAVEN.
ONLY The BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST can WASH AWAY and CLEANSE YOU from the SIN that we all were born in because of ADAM, and that we commit ourselves. The blood of Christ cleanses us from all our sins if we ASK.
However, it is GOD and GOD alone who determines WHAT IS SIN.
Not some loud mouthed Argentinian who somehow thinks he makes up the rules of GOD when what GOD THINKS about that subject is clearly evident and revealed in HIS written WORD.
Does dear Francis have a Bible? IS HE GOD? DID HIS SON leave Heaven's glory and take on the form of himan flesh and blood while still remaining GOD, and voluntarily LAY DOWN HIS LIFE and DIE for all of HUMANITY and provide cleansing from our sins and salvation???
NO HE DID NOT. Someone should tell Francispoo to SHUT HIS STUPID ARROGANT PIE HOLE and misleading people worldwide. He will give an answer to GOD face to face one day about all those he mislead and caused to take their eyes off of GOD'S DEAR SON JESUS, in WHOM IS SALVATION alone, and who paid the price, that awful price for all of our SINS...
WHO does this belligerent little man think he is?
He is ANTICHRIST. He has no more faith in Jesus Christ and GOD THE FATHER than my dear DOG did.
My suggestion for Francis?
Repent and RUN to CALVARY'S CROSS and ask JESUS to forgive HIM and to SAVE HIM. ASK CHRIST to be HIS SAVIOR and to wash him in the precious shed blood that Jesus shed on a cruel Roman cross for all of our sins.
Ask Jesus to write his name down in the Lamb's Book of Life and to totally surrender to the will of GOD and then to spend his time actually reading and studying the WORD OF GOD so he actually know what GOD SAID about things. NOT what socialista Francis has to say.
My apologies to any devout Catholics here. I do not apologize for standing up for GOD, HIS WORD, HIS SON,
or HIS CHURCH, which was not started by Peter by the way. JESUS started the CHURCH and the Church was in existence BEFORE Pentecost to any serious students of the Word of God and I can show you the scriptures to prove it.
Peter was a leader of the Church in Jerusalem and sent to visit and proclaim the faith to the Gentiles. There was NO POPE in the Church. JAMES was PASTOR of the CHURCH in Jerusalem until he was taken and killed by the Romans.
Peter asked to be crucified upside down because he did not think himself to be worthy to be crucified in like manner as Christ. JOHN was exiled to the isle of Patmos where he communed with God daily in prayer and was the author of several books of the Bible including Revelation, 1,2,3 John, and the Gospel of John.
The reason ONLY GOD can define SIN is because ONLY GOD is HOLY and PURE without sin.
Francis is now making things up as he goes along and unfortunately, just shows how little he really knows about things of God... It is a shame but this was all predicted and prophesied long ago....
Look to GOD'S WORD for what SIN is, "GOD GAVE THE WORD, great was the company that published it."
Francis's name did not appear in that company.... Nor anyone else's for that matter......
The Word of God never changes.. GOD never CHANGES. "I am the LORD. I change not".
Some things in this world that we know are constant. That includes GOD and HIS preserved WORDS. Look at Psalms 12: verses 6 and 7. HIS words are PURE and they shall be preserved FOREVER.
Francis? Just another misguided self important deceiver who has now made himself like Lucifer thought he was, on a level equal to almighty GOD by declaring what SIN is, laying off workers when there is no demand for the company's products......
Jesus said to hire people, negotiate a rate of pay for each person, when there was work that needed to be done and you needed hired help..... When the work was done, you no longer keep them hired because there is nothing to do..
Tell Francis he should actually read the BIBLE and get a good one. Like a 1611 Authorized version King James Bible where the TEXTS is came from where the MAJORITY TEXTS, which has well over one hundred times the original preserved manuscripts than the next group.
it is the ONLY BIBLE that uses the Majority Text and does not make JESUS anything less than the SON of the LIVING GOD.
Satan has lots of imitations. He likes to fool people and trick them. He does not want you to read God's Words because Satan wants you with him, in hell for eternity.
IF I was an unsaved person and I knew that sin was going to put me in an eternal hell, I'd run to the Cross and to Jesus really FAST and beg for mercy and forgiveness to the ONLY ONE who can save us from our sins and write our names down in the Lamb's Book of LIFE. I would not wait another second.
Francis, that is my wish for you also. Come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and seek HIS forgiveness and cleansing from your sins. LET HIM be LORD of your life instead of YOU thinking you are lord over everyone else's when all you are is just a sinful man.... and you are on your way to an eternal hell and Lake of Fire where you will be tormented day and night for all of eternity.....
