A good sermon. Nothing here I can quibble with.
I’m really glad Pope Francis came to America.
I closely followed his trip and all of his appearances on TV and while I still don’t agree with several of his political positions, I do understand where he’s coming from and I have grown to LIKE Pope Francis very much and “I won’t forget to pray for him,” ever again!
I’m sure Pope Francis is sincere in his beliefs, whereas prior to his visit, I questioned his sincerity and particularly his humility which I think the MSM still over blows and emphasizes. Sure he carries his own bag (Note he almost fell boarding the plane from NYC to Philly) and doesn’t live in the designated Pope Quarter’s in the Vatican. So what? Is it better to leave those quarter’s empty?
I don’t pretend to know anything about Vatican politics, but quite obviously, Pope Benedict XVI’s health was NOT the major reason he resigned. Thanks be to God, I’m no longer resentful he resigned, although I will go to my grave believing his resignation was forced.
. Here is the surprise: Moses and Jesus both rebuke those closest to them for being so narrow!
He is clearly attempting to use the authority of Moses and of Christ Jesus for his own nefarious purposes (economic Marxism, world government, "climate change" taxation and extortion, and the like.
Jesus encountered hostility from people who did not accept what he said and did.
Once again, trying to disarm anyone who disagrees with his leftist, Antichrist message with being against Christ, and by doing so, comparing himself to God incarnate in Jesus. It is blatant blasphemy.
But the temptation to be scandalized by the freedom of God, who sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous alike (Mt 5:45), bypassing bureaucracy, officialdom and inner circles, threatens the authenticity of faith. Hence it must be vigorously rejected.
An outright attack against Christians who believe the Gospel message, and turn to Christ for their true salvation, instead of Francis and his Catholic hammer.
He has said this before in another lie, calling a personal relationship with Jesus "dangerous."
Jorge is a false prophet, and an enemy of Christ's Gospel.
I extinguish his attack on myself and fellow Christians with the true Word of God.
If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Catholic ping!
