When I first saw these headlines, I must admit that I was taken aback:
“The Pope Says This Christmas Is A ‘Charade’ And That For Some People ‘It May Be Their Last’” [1] – source
I wondered why he would call Christmas a ‘charade’ and declare that it may be the last Christmas for some people. But then everything came into focus, and his words merely confirmed the narrative this man has been pushing from the very start.
I firmly believe that we are looking at the False Prophet spoken of in God’s Holy Word, when we see this pope. This man has a political Marxist agenda and he speaks of little else. Where is the Gospel of Christ in his sermons and commentaries? Nary a word spoken of the fallen nature of man, and how Jesus Christ came into this world to reconcile sinful man to our Holy God.
No – he speaks of redistribution of wealth, and the evils of capitalism. He speaks of Climate Change and has become the spokesperson for that hoax at the U.N. and everywhere he travels. When he refers to earth, he calls it “Mother Earth.” Can you say NEW AGE?
Pope Francis Misunderstands Why Jesus Came to Earth
When the pope calls Christmas a “Charade” and warns that this Christmas may be the last one for some people – he is missing the entire reason for the birth and ultimate death of Jesus Christ. God cares deeply for the souls of men and women. The Lord Jesus spoke of coming wars and rumors of wars. That was certainly no surprise to Him.
The Angels Declared:
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (Luke 2:14). (Emphasis mine)
Notice that this passage of Scripture does not say “good will between men.” It says good will toward men. Ok, from whom are we receiving good will? It is from God Himself! The peace on earth, which is spoken of, comes from God having good will toward men and women – God made the way for us to be reconciled to Himself through His Son Jesus Christ!
Pope Francis has no understanding of this Scripture, nor does he understand anything about the Gospel. He is looking at this world from a carnal perspective. He sees wars raging and he shows anger because men have not made peace with one another. He misses this most important Biblical truth – there will be NO peace on this earth without having peace with God.
I need to say that again:
We should not expect peace on the earth until men and women are at peace with God. The ONLY way to have peace with God is through His Son Jesus Christ. Only then are we born again – become a new creation – and are able to see with new eyes and truly love and forgive others.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).
If More Catholics Would Only Read Their Bibles
Catholicism is at its heart a works based religion. Since we know that we cannot work our way to heaven, then Catholicism is a cult. I am sorry if I anger anyone with these words. I would rather that you be angry at me, and then in a while come to the truth of the Word; than to tickle your ears with words of encouragement so that you are not challenged to read God’s Word for yourself. I must tell the truth.
Come Away From Them!
Stop worshiping the pope and Mary and the Catholic Catechism! There is only ONE to worship and He is Jesus Christ. Mary is not a co-redeemer as Catholics have been taught. Would a co-redeemer say these words?
“And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour” (Luke 1: 46-47). (Emphasis mine)
If Mary had been equal with Jesus, she certainly would not call God “My Saviour.”
Many of us are continually shocked by the utterances of Pope Francis. Because I believe that he is the False Prophet, I am less and less shocked.
I pray that many Catholics who are questioning the words and deeds of the pope, will read this article. I pray that the Holy Spirit will impart truth to them, and as the Word says – the Truth shall set them free.
MARANATHA
Agreed as a former Catholic. Thanks for posting. I have shared just recently again about the Pope and one world religion. He is a Luciferian part of bringing forth the true false prophet and anti christ who are both in hiding. One in France and the other on St Paltmos Island.
I am Catholic. I, personally, do not know one single Catholic that raises Mary, the Pope or any one else to the level of Jesus. Jesus is the one and only Messiah. The Pope is not a prophet. He is simply a “descendent” of St. Peter, who was given authority over the Church by Jesus. I do not worship Mary. She was simply a wonderful human being who was blessed to bring Jesus into this world. I will say I have seen in media where there are people that seem to be worshipping the Pope and that, as a Catholic, bothers me. I find Jesus in Catholicism. Have you heard of the Holy Trinity? Most Christians believe in it as do Catholics. As far as the catechism goes, that is simply an explanation of Church teachings. It is not a Holy book. There is only one sacred scripture and that is the Bible. I actually converted to Catholicism because I went to a Catholic High School and felt Jesus there for the first time. No doubt Jesus was in my life before that, but as far as a Church goes, the Catholic Church is where I feel most at home with Jesus. I beg to differ that Catholicism is a cult. Half of Christianity is made up of the Catholic Church. PM me on Facebook to talk.
Lauren,
I’m sorry to tell you that according to the Word of God, Catholicism, as it is taught by priests and the pope, is indeed a cult. The Bible clearly tells us that we are saved by Grace through faith (“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9).We are saved by repenting and trusting in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross. I am a Jewish Christian. When I was saved in 1983, many Catholics told me that I must become a Catholic to be saved. They also said that we are to pray to Mary and that she will go to Jesus with our prayers and petitions. These same people believed that Mary is co-redemptor with Jesus and that she remained a virgin, even after Jesus was born. They called her Queen of heaven. This is FALSE and the Bible proves that it is false. Mary was a little Jewish handmaiden who needed a Savior as much as you and I need Him. Look at Mary’s words from the Magnificat:
“And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.” (Luke 1:46-47) Mary was a sinner in need of a Savior.
Did you know that during the Second Vatican Council, there was a major change to the book of Catechism? They added that the Muslims worship the same God as the Catholics do, and that they will be saved. This is HERESY!
I have met Catholics who are absolutely saved, but they told me that they got saved outside of the Catholic church, but decided to remain there. The institution of the Catholic church is NOT part of Christianity. I pray for those who believe that the Catholic Church will save them. It will not.
