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.
