This message contravenes the directives of scripture which denies the ability of believers to 'unite' with non-believers.VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis, celebrating his first Christmas as Roman Catholic leader, on Wednesday called on atheists to unite with believers of all religions and work for "a homemade peace" that can spread across the world.Speaking to about 70,000 people from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, the same spot where he emerged to the world as pope when he was elected on March 13, Francis also made another appeal for the environment to be saved from "human greed and rapacity".The leader of the 1.2 billion-member Church wove his first "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and world) message around the theme of peace."Peace is a daily commitment. It is a homemade peace," he said.He said that people of other religions were also praying for peace, and - departing from his prepared text - he urged atheists to join forces with believers."I invite even non-believers to desire peace. (Join us) with your desire, a desire that widens the heart. Let us all unite, either with prayer or with desire, but everyone, for peace," he said, drawing sustained applause from the crowd.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?2 Corinthians 6:14
The message of the Gospel is that apart from Christ there can be no peace. Jesus is the only path to peace and suggesting otherwise is not only a display of ignorance of scripture but also of history (see Stalin, Pot et al). The Pope, in his eagerness to unite the world under one umbrella of common morality is actually portraying an Antichrist role and it should be troubling to Catholics worldwide that their figurehead embraces this path - a path of syncretism. Syncretism /ˈsɪŋkrətɪzəm/ is the combining of different, often seemingly contradictory beliefs, while melding practices of various schools of thought. Syncretism involves the merger and analogizing of several originally discrete traditions, especially in the theology and mythology of religion, thus asserting an underlying unity and allowing for an inclusive approach to other faiths. Syncretism also occurs commonly in expressions of arts and culture (known as eclecticism) as well as politics (syncretic politics).
During the post-rapture world events a false prophet will emerge and unite the world under the Antichrist system. Many are speculating that Pope Francis is this person. His end is tragic and his eternity full of agony. As Pope Francis continues to seek unity between all the world's religions, including atheism, we see how he could fit. This is pure speculation of course. We report, you decide.
Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

President Obama is using Pope Francis to foster wealth redistribution ideas in his speeches on the importance of reducing the gap between rich and poor.
Now that the President’s message of “Hope and Change” has drastically soured over his last few years in office, Obama is hoping the popular pontiff’s vitality will rub off on him. Michael Peppard, a professor of politics and the papacy at Fordham University, posits, "I think Obama probably wants to tap into some of the energy, and tap into some of it for his own message."
Obama quoted Francis in a recent speech on fiscal policy this month: "How can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses 2 points?" Although the President has tangled with the Catholic Church on a variety of issues, most notably the contraceptive provisions in the Affordable Care Act, Obama now sees the Pope as an ally.
Much attn to the 'last' Pope. due to St Malachy prophecy . I have differences with some tenants of Roman Catholicism; Constantine wanted all to believe and worship alike..
ReplyDeleteEast and West churches split , in part, as many leaders since the first century in the East were descendants of Mary and Joseph and now were denied their history. as changed to some step siblings of Christ or cousins.)
An attempt to make Christianity more palatable to others from Pagan Godess religions as many Godess Temples got converted into Mary ones and the doctrine of Mary as 'eternal virgin' became the new doctrine..
Early history of Christianity, seems to have been as diverse as now.;with some core beliefs from Peter's Sermon from Acts, known in all of Christianity as The Apostle's Creed.".
500 years ago, we again 'forgot' the full story of a true "mother of the Church' and example of unconditional obedience to Christ, Mary, wife of Joseph.When asked, she said yes.
The Malachy prophecy was that the last Pope would be "Peter Romanus." And would over see the demise of the Vatican, etc.
I do wish that all the stored documents be scanned on to the web for all the world to study before any kind of destruction would lose the world's history again, as happened with the destruction of the Library of Alexandria in earlier times. We are still trying to figure out what ancients knew and did.
Otherwise, we may again find ourselves with history lost and a 'few' telling us what the Bible 'really means." Without it, a 'few' can decide for us what this scripture or that one means and saying Christ was not " THE WORD MADE FLESH" but just a man.and how would it be known that was not believed for 2000+ years with records 'gone.' Soon they 'few' will be able to convince the rest of the world , Mary had an 'affair' with an alien or eventually say it was Lucifer , the Devil is the good guy and follow him. . Satan's sinister plot is to deceive the whole world Christ is not Divine, Mary was not an obedient, virtuous young woman and one world religon of a moral code and no promise of hope that CHRIST OR MESSIAH as Christians and Jews both expect to be coming soon.
We do need Peace in this world.and the Freedom to share our faith. . We must not forget to INVITE OTHERS TO ACCEPT CHRIST AS SAVIOR. If we do not do this, Loving one another is to offer the gift of eternal life through BELIEF.
'POPE WATCH' continues and may he grasp the awesome attention to share the Good News of Christ to all the world. . My prayers are for him, as many in this world would do anything to stop a Pope who reflected the "SPIRIT OF PETER" in his everday life and ministry.It seems obvious already, he is not going to be one keeping his silence and moving behind the scenes making administrative typre decisions. Like any world leader, every word will be scrutinized and debated. Pray for all those in the more visible leadership roles of Christian ministry. Ones calling may well be and for many already has become truly following in the steps of Christ to the 'crosses' of this current world. I pray this servant of Yahusha, whom we Christians call Christ Jesus will follow the exanple of Mary and all the others who have gone before to have at least a small amount of their courageous obedience when asked to do whatever is asked no matter whether it be one small task or a larger one..
