I am liking Pope Francis

[annsni]

So just what are you implying.....it appears you are suggesting that Francis is not a believer.

I don't know if he's a believer or not but I do know that in the immense opportunities he had in his first days here, he did not address the lost with the Gospel. It would not have been out of place for the head of the largest church in the world to speak a little bit about what most of the Bible addresses but he didn't. I wonder why?

 

[Earth Wind and Fire]

When a person hears the Gospel and receives it with joy, do they believe Jesus Christ is one way to heaven or one of many ways? Do they believe biblical Christianity is the only way to be saved or that other religions are also worshipping the same One living God in their faiths as well?

You know better than to ask me that Steve. But so we play this out, what is your point?

Sounds a bit judgemental to me......so why dont you write him and ask him. Who knows, maybe he had jet lag.....he is 79 you know.

Because he was here to shill for a one world government.

You had said to another, "are you suggesting the pope is not a believer?"

I ask, would a true believer in Jesus Christ say that other religions also worship the One living God?

 

[steaver]

Is anyone watching this on TV right now? Look at the worship! Listen to the commentators gush over him! Isn't he so wonderful!

Hey, I read about this happening somewhere....now where was that.......

 

[steaver]

Oh "the shadow of Peter" they cry!!!!!!!

 

[steaver]

We are in the "presence of Holiness" they cry!!!!

 

[steaver]

It's a "positive message of inclusion" one commentator declares!!! Yes, that's right, just as God said it would be, the coming together under the Antichrist. What a time to be alive. Watching prophecy unfolding before our very eyes. Another step towards the time when the very Antichrist himself will be paraded around city after city, around the globe....and they will shout hosanna, hosanna!!!!!

 

[steaver]

CNN wants to know what three words would you use to describe the pope?

 

[steaver]

I hope he says something prophetic found in the scriptures!!!

 

[steaver]

"Festival of Families" they are calling this. Wonder what that means?

He certainly didn't act like he had jet lag when he patted heads, kissed people and got out of his car to greet those around him. He didn't seem overly tired when he addressed global warming or the immigration issue. Of course he didn't touch on the fact that the largest abortion provider in the US is in the business of selling babies and the US government supports that organization - which might have been an interesting thing to address. But all he said about this was that we need to have dignity for every stage of development or something like that.

Judgmental? If he is calling himself my brother in Christ, is that not right to judge those in the church? Jesus Himself said that it is right to judge rightly. You seem to have an opinion on the churches around you. Interestingly enough, I'll bet those churches around you say more on a Sunday about Jesus than the head of the Catholic Church said in his entire visit in NY.

My husband and I watched the news last night and since we live in NY, much of it centered on the Pope's visit. There was a lot of interviewing of people - and a TON of idolatry! Incredible.

 

[steaver]

Could have chosen some better Christian songs. There are hundreds that glorify Jesus Christ and promote the Gospel....

 

[steaver]

What was that scripture reading about? Felt bad for her, she was so nervous. Not sure the point of that scripture given.

These people are really shook up!!!!! Is Jesus on stage?

Yes, you are judgemental.....and now acting self righteous. Where is your humility?

Now your being judgmental! :laugh:

When did he say that?

Yes, I am judgmental on issues where someone is supposedly a Christian is leading millions astray.

Have you not spoken against every church in your state? I do remember some pretty strong words against them. We ALL are judgmental - and that is not wrong.
