It was reported in world news this past week that Pope Francis defended
homosexual Catholic priests, saying, “You can't marginalize these people.”
Webster's dictionary defines the word “marginalize” to mean:
“to relegate to an unimportant or powerless position within a society or
group.” The Pope's sinful attitude toward homosexuality is becoming
prevalent these days. Consequently, gays are being appointed to high
positions of power in both government and religion. It is wickedness.
Recently on New Year's Eve 2011, U.S. President Barack Obama signed military
gay rights and bestiality into law
under the NDAA.
Gays may now freely ask and tell in the military, which is disgraceful, disturbing and destructive to the morality of our armed forces. It is frightening to know that vile homosexuals with no fear of God are being sent out as paid mercenaries to serve the selfish, un-American and unconstitutional agendas of the New World Order.
The Bible teaches in our text verse in Proverbs 28:4, “They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.” The Catholic religion is of the Devil, because they've all forsaken God's law. That's why they praise queers instead of contending with them...
Pope Francis on gays: "Who am I to judge?"
July 29, 2013
(CBS News) Pope Francis frankly discussed topics that have historically been controversial for the Catholic church aboard his flight back to the Vatican Monday, including homosexuality within the priesthood and the ordination of women as priests.
When questioned on what his response would be upon learning that a cleric was gay, though not sexually active, the Argentinian-born pontiff said he wouldn't judge gay priests and explained, "You can't marginalize these people."
"If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?" he said.
The conciliatory comments represented a shift from his predecessor Pope Benedict XVI, who signed a document in 2005 saying that men with deeply rooted homosexual tendencies shouldn't be priest.
However, he insisted that the ban of female priests will remain in tact, telling reporters the question was "definitively" answered by Pope John Paul II.
Asked for comment, Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi told CBS News that the pope was "for sure" not just referring to gay priests, but to all gays.
Lombardi said this did not represent a change in church teachings. As Pope Francis pointed out himself in his answer, the church's catechism teaches that gays are to be accepted and welcomed, not discriminated against. Lombardi pointed out that during the press conference the pope specifically confirmed church teachings on abortion and female ordination.
The thing that was different here, Lombardi said, was the pope's attitude which puts mercy, forgiveness and understanding "in the forefront."SOURCE: Pope Francis on gays: “Who am I to judge?” — CBS News
Notice that the official spokesman for the Vatican, Federico Lombardi, told CBS News that Pope Francis “put mercy, forgiveness and understanding 'in the forefront.'” There's dangerous implications in that. There's no mention here of the need for redemption, man's sinfulness, the curse of the law upon sin, the Gospel message, the need to be born-again, nor God's warning against the evils of homosexuality (Romans 1:24-32).
The Pope has a wrong attitude toward judging homosexuality. Pope Francis says, “Who am I to judge?” Well, considering that he has the power to hire and fire priests, he ought to judge righteous judgment by ridding the Catholic priesthood of known homosexuals. The insane notion that it's ok for a professed gay priest to remain a priest, just so long as he is not “active” is ludicrous. Such errant thinking is devilish. Homosexuals don't belong in the clergy, counseling and having access to young boys. The strong connection between pedophilia and homosexuality cannot be denied, evidenced by the onslaught of sex-abuse in the Vatican.
Some people misunderstand the Bible when Jesus said, “Judge not, that ye be not judged” in Matthew 7:1-2. The Lord didn't mean that we should remain quiet about the evils threatening our society. Notice that the Lord also said in John 7:24, “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” So we are supposed to judge as Christians, but righteous judgment.
All gossip is sinful condemnation. Newsmedia manure-spreading is sinful condemnation. The public doesn't have a right to know (contrary to the popular news media cliché). Gossip is self-righteous hypocrisy, sinful in God's eyes, because everyone is a sinner (James 2:10). American society has become vicious, hateful and merciless toward each other.
Judging rightfully against the evils of sin is
one thing, as verses condemning the sinner. No one has right to condemn
anyone for their sins. However, the government has every right to punish
evildoers to preserve rule of law in a society. Government authority is
ordained by God. No one can rise to power unless God permits it. God has
allowed evil men and women to rise to power in the United States because our
nation has gone into wickedness, turning away from the Word of God, having
no fear of God before their eyes.
Outward Righteousness Is Not Faith
Catholics
remind me much of the religious Pharisees, who, although they knew that
murder and adultery were horrible sins punishable under God's Laws, they
didn't see any harm with hating their brother or lusting upon women. Jesus
rebuked them for lack of inward righteousness. Matthew 5:28, “But I say
unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed
adultery with her already in his heart” Jesus plainly taught that a man
is defiled by that which cometh from within, and not that from comes from
without. This is because of man's wicked heart. Jeremiah 17:9, “The heart
is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
It is out of man's evil heart that wars, adulteries, lies, murderers and
blasphemies originate. Think about that, all wars start in the human heart.
What an ugly thought!
Hence, adulterous Hollywood movies don't turn people into adulterers; but rather, as I once heard a young black preacher say from the pulpit, “Adulterous producers make adulterous movies that inspire adulterous people to commit adultery.” Matthew 15:11, “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.” Then human heart is incredibly dangerous and distrustful. It is a frightening thing how people can become monsters and find justification for just about anything and everything evil, unholy and sacrilegious. From legalizing same-sex marriage and abortion, to justifying the worship of statues of the virgin Mary and el papa over in Rome—the human heart is set on fire of Hell below.
Carefully notice that the Catholic Church teaches these seven CEREMONIES are the means of obtaining the gift of eternal life. In sharp contrast, the Bible teaches that FAITH is the means by which salvation is obtained...
Ephesians 2:8-9, “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.”
From the cradle-to-the-casket, the Catholic Church offers a religious package second to none. Instead of KFC's famous slogan, “We do chicken right!”; the Vatican should advertise, “We do religion right!” Unfortunately they do everything else wrong! Jesus taught the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4:24 that God absolutely MUST be worshipped in spirit and in truth. The Bible is truth, the inspired Words of God (John 17:17).
We are living in an American culture of deceit and lies. Everything is bogus these days. The mainstream news is saturated with fabricated lies. Politicians, local and national are always lying to the public. Businesses lie to get your money, legally manipulating the public with shady fine print, deceptive advertising and disclaimers. Realtors withhold vital information (a form of lying) to sell a home. Preachers lie when they say that human effort is required to get to Heaven. People lie when they promise in their marriage vows to stay with someone until death. Lawyers lie everytime their lips move. What a nation of liars! Roman Catholics have been sold a lie, and they've bought into it hook, line and sinker!
All
around the world, there are entire cultures that are predominantly Roman
Catholic, all hellbound in unbelief and sin. They have been deceived by the
Devil as 2nd Corinthians 4:4 teaches. The Bible says that if born-again
Christians don't shine their gospel light to the lost world, then sinners
won't see the gospel and can't get saved because Satan has blinded them.
2nd Corinthians 4:3-4, “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
Satan blinds people's minds with established humanistic worldly
philosophies, Darwin's theory of evolution and literally thousands of false
religions. Please don't go to Hell. The choice is yours alone to make. Of
all the Catholics I've witnessed to in my life, they were cold and
unresponsive to the Gospel. It was almost as if their fate was sealed and
they were never going to get saved. That's what I felt each time because of
their hard heart. Catholics don't take Bible doctrine seriously. They really
don't care. All that matters to them is going to Catholic Mass and
confessing their sins to some man who calls himself father, but dresses like
a mother.
We Need HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS!
To
get to Heaven you and I both need HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, that is, the
righteousness of Jesus Christ, We read in Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye
first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.” I read Matthew 6:33 my
entire life and misunderstood its meaning. I thought it just meant going to
church as a Christian, tithing, soul-winning, and staying busy for God
serving Him faithfully.
But a few years ago the Holy Spirit impressed upon my heart with this Scripture and opened my eyes to its true meaning, and it is so beautiful. All I fear is God's disfavor, and all I desire is Christ's righteousness!!!
