Good grief! Communists killed more people than fascists in the 20th century. What Christian wants to “look” like that?
Okay, this is from the Onion or The Babylon Bee, right?
Ruh ROH>>>>> I have NO idea of what you speak! HELP!
A bona fide Christian faith movement in a country can then affect its politics to the good. But the movement has to be there for God’s own sake. We can never have the cart before the horse. Christians can never engineer earthly politics in the hope that, poof, it will cause faith to appear or unbelief to vanish.
I can’t fault Francis for wishing it were so, but he can be faulted for not understanding that it can’t be so. It has to depend on the sovereign Lord’s plans.
The church got a political silver platter handed to it. The church survived as always due to Christ’s promise, but its heavenly sights were compromised.
Francis is certainly not afraid to look like a Communist.
The social Gospel, aka the socialist Gospel, is not Biblical Christianity.
Dope Frank the Pretender needs to be forcefully ejected.
Pope Stupid the First shoots more “wisdom” from his pie hole.
Yes, your idiotness, let us all embrace a movement that killed millions.
God chose to ask for peoples hearts, and gave us free will to choose our path in life. God is all powerful, and thus didn't need to ask for anything. God could have 'willed us' to do what he desires us to do, independent of our free will and choice. But he didn't. God supports charity, not theft. God supports love, not coercion. Christ didn't run as a political candidate.
Matthew 6:24 - No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other, Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
You can't be a Marxist and serve God as a free individual giving your heart by your own free will.
I guess we can go back to inquisitions then. Commies love torture ad so did the Roman church.
Pope Francis needs to read Marx’s position on religion.., and the retire due to senility.
This is what you get when the Church decides to be PC and pick a Pope from a historical ignored region.
“Social gospel”. Har, that’s a good one.
he just keeps sounding worse and worser, every single day
someone may wish to tell him that the little book by Karl Marx ISN’T the Holy Bible (he seems to have gotten them confused? maybe he lifted a copy of the Commie Manifesto by mistake the last time he stayed at the Motel 666?)
Not sure what’s worse, this guy or that Catholics let him remain in power. Either way, the world has lost.
This guy is a COMMUNIST, HERETIC, NUT! And anyone who follows him has serious issues.
Because mass murder isn’t as bad as people say.
paraphrased: “Don’t let your belief in ‘God’ get in the way of social(ist) justice.”
