what of the Torah, the Talmud,the Koran (even though na copy copy) and other holy books of other religions? Does that mean those books are irrelevant? It is a known fact that bhudism is more peaceful than Christianity. At least followers of bhuda are peaceful and very kind(even against their personal wishes). What of followers of Christ(my lord)? They are filled with hate, deceit, lies and fornication(me included). Now following the nature of man, it is evident that the world is not six thousand years as the bible said, and it is also a fact that humanism is greater than any religion on earth. If you listen to my holy father(pope Francis) , he spoke the truth on that issue. Who will Christ forgive: a good Christian that that was part of killing a Muslim? Or an atheist that brought a stranded stranger into his house to eat, drink and sleep? In these two instances the only thing that was followed was their conscience. As long as you are not wicked to your fellow man and as long as you make people happy and inspired by your way of life, there is a place for you in heaven

Jesus never encourage sin.

Secondly, it will be blasphemous to put Jesus in the level of the Pope. The Pope is to obey Jesus and teach Jesus' word, not twisting Jesus' word to confuse lay men.

are u saying pope encourages sin, lie or if u have authentic proof to u claim show me if nt watch ur tonque.

secondly, how did he put d pope in d same level with Jesus. dont u preach dat if Jesus can over come d devil's temptation dat we can do same.why didn't u say its blasphemous and dat Jesus is a supernatural being and we are just humans so we can't overcome temptation or even try.

The pope too never encourages sin.

Secondly, there is no blasphemy in comparing the pope's behaviour to that of Jesus. The pope is to obey Jesus and teach Jesus doctrine. You are not the one to teach us Jesus' doctrine.

Besides, you lot are already confused with your millions of denominations with contradictory doctrines. And it isnt the pope that confused you. It was the devil through Martin Luther.

Why are you bent on bringing your confusion into our fold?

What did the pope mean by ''Jesus became the sinner for us. When you go to confession it is not that you confess your sins but you say to Jesus, here are your sins and I will sin again'' - Pope Francis (I shared the link on first page).

Then he made compromising comments about gays. Many priests in US are said to be confused in interpreting and implementing that comment in their dealing with gays. Some are said to be considering now whether to allow then attend communion. Na wai!

Nobody ever misinterpreted Jesus' words to favour gays and atheist. He was always pointing to the Father. But the Pope is pointing to men. Preaching or doing good deeds without God is not Christianity but humanism.

Hope you know the Pope's original words are available? Even when you quote him verbatim, you will realize that he did not do well at all. They are compromising statements. But Jesus' original statements where not compromising, and He (Jesus) never said we should sing good words to unbelievers. Tell them the truth, baptised them in the name of the Father- Son- Holy Spirit, if they reject, then shake off your shoes and leave.

Do you believe that Atheists can go to heaven... Yes or No?

If they can, what will make them go to heaven?

We have had antipopes in history and who told you this one is not one? Antipopes usually reign along side another living Pope.

Only Jesus can tell who will go to heaven or not. He said he is the 'gate' and everyone must pass through Him, therefore He instructed us to preach Him to everyone (without compromise).

Just wait, I will go get the link for you now. It was reported in a Catholic daily website.

Secondly, do you know that when he was Cardinal Bergoglio in Buenos Ares Argentina, he used to join pentecostals and other religions in general crusade, he would kneel while leaders of other religions and churches pray over him.

I remain silent on his. But the future will tell when the major changes come.

Never did we had this controversies in Pope John Paul II 25 years reign. Benedict did not bend the truth to suit human ears, and he is still alive.

Remember the prophecy of Malachy and other contemporary visionaries. Some said Benedict was the last Pope and when he would be forced to resign the Church and the world should be ready for errors as there will be an all inclusive church of one world religion tolerating sins and practicing new age religion. As the deception continues, the Holy Mass will be changed to something else and the church will finally split- one in error while the other retaining tradition. Then the true traditional church will come under a heavy persecution. Preaching about commandments will be outlawed and offenders arrested and sentenced for hate speech. Evil will be celebrated and have its hour.

Just want to stop here. Watchout for more changes in the future.

When we go to confession, for example, it isn’t that we say our sin and God forgives us. No, not that! We look for Jesus Christ and say: 'This is your sin, and I will sin again'. And Jesus likes that, because it was his mission: to become the sinner for us, to liberate us. " -Pope Francis

http://www.news.va/en/news/pope-the-christian-life-proclaims-the-road-to-reco

How is the above different from what I wrote? Imagine Pope saying when we go to confession is not that we are asking for forgiveness, but only handing Jesus' sins back to him.

I have given you all the links you want. Should I go further it will be too messy.

Everyone has difficulty in interpreting God's teaching sometimes, even lay people. It doesnt give credence to the picture you are trying to paint that Pope Francis is a confusionist. The first pope didnt know how to handle gentiles. Peter was his name and he lived 2000years before Francis. Christians to this day have a hard time interpreting the Bible, does that mean God is a confusionist?

The Catholic priests should not have problem interpreting the catholic teachings. When that happens, it is no longer the Catholic church as handed over by the apostles.
