Pope Francis - "Who am I to judge"?

Pope Francis... "Who am I to judge"?

He should have instead said.. "What do I know about sin"?

Because if you know what sin is and still won't call it what it is.. then one is approving of that sin by denying its existence.   And even more so, if one is in the position of teaching or ministering God's Truth, one has ever more reason to judge sin.

WE ALL have a right to judge sin up against a Godly standard. We have a right to speak out against it and to enforce it among our children for the sake of their future and the future of society, etc. We have a right to expose it and cut it off at the root if necessary, etc.

So the Pope won't judge because he isn't denying the knowledge of the sin of homosexuality but because he refuses to speak out against it. It's a cowardly and politically motivated move.

And in his silence, he gives harty approval to the sin of homsexuality which by doing so, IS SIN.

So Pope Francis, who's reputation for being so humble (and the world is eating it all up), should humble himself to this truth.

The Pope has also stated that non believers are Heaven bound if they do good works and are themselves, good people, etc. Which is radically different than what the Bible teaches. This is the highest form of heresy.

The Pope, who is supposed to be "The Vicar of Christ" has just Crucified Jesus - for nothing.

But then we know that the religion of men will ALWAYS have an unstable and inconsistant foundation so that it changes as the culture changes. But God's TRUE Word never changes... His standards never change. Men are worshippers of men and worshippers of traditions but God's Truth frees men from the slavery of this idolatry.

Seperate yourselves from the deception of religions and traditions of men, and follow CHRIST, and CHRIST ALONE.

Ditch the "Friendship" Evangelism!!

US 2012 death rate has surpassed 2.5 Million.
And the rate increases every year. (Huffington Post: below link)
More than 38,000 commit suicide per year in the US alone.

Also, more than 150,000 people die around the world every day.



SPEAK TRUTH! WARN PEOPLE! PROCLAIM THE GOOD NEWS!


The command: 

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” - Matt 28

Everyone... This includes your mailman!



We're not here to make friends! We're here to pull people out of the fire and there's no time for people to experience a long life of your good works. (Ditch the "Friendship" Evangelism)

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it". - Matt. 10

"You believe that there is one God; Good for you: the demons also believe, and tremble". - James 2:19

 



True belief generates action. If you believed your ceiling was about to cave-in while you were home watching TV, you would act on this belief and jet out of the living room to save yourself from a serious headache.

"The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead." - Acts 17:30-31

Yes, I said it... "Judgment is coming"! 
 
Most believers have read that God's Word "will not come back void" and that it'll do what it's set out to accomplish (Isaiah 55:11).

But how many people consider that the Word can either become a seed unto salvation for the person who heeds it as well as a nail in the coffin of the person who rejects it?   Every time the Word is proclaimed, something powerful and spiritual is happening in the life of the listener.   That's how powerful God's Word is.

"Heaven and earth shall pass away but behold my Words will never pass away"-
Matt. 24:35, Mark 13:31, and Luke 21:33. 

All 3 writers quoted this important Truth.

"The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God". - Psalm 9:17

So if you're obedient to God's Word, and abide in God's will, you will warn people; no matter what it takes, and spread the COMPLETE Gospel of Truth, SIN, GOD'S LAW, HELL, REPENTANCE, SALVATION, HOPE AND LOVE. 
 


When we're more concerned with not offending people, in essence, we're not loving people but loving ourselves, being selfish, and actively being ashamed of the full Gospel of Christ. 

We're also MISLEADING people  - and that is sin.

... and it's very easy to deny those things we're ashamed of.





"And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town. So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven". - Matt. 10



"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". - John 14:6




"And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment,..." - Hebrews 9:27
