Having a personal relationship with Jesus is LIFE SAVING!

This pope is the one who is very dangerous.

[ETL]

For him maybe.

[proust]

Wow, a stopped clock is right twice a day.

[Kartographer]

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Matthew 7:21-23

Going back to the early views of the RCC that only a priest can be the ‘go-between’ for a parishioner and God.

[mtrott]

Yeah, a personal relationship with Christ might tend to turn one off to all the liturgy and pomp of the Holy Roman Church. A personal relationship kind of obviates the whole basis of the Catholic Church with its emphasis on priests acting as intermediaries between Christians and God.

[ronnie raygun]

Correct me if Im wrong but thats what its all about a personel relationship

[buwaya]

This is the Catholic point of view, then, now and always.
There is a church, it is a community, and going it alone isn’t a good thing. If you want to go personally mystical that’s fine, but coming back afterwards with “God told me this..” is problematic.

[Baldwin77]

This statement is heresy.

The Bible is filled with having a relationship with Jesus.

NOT ONE MENTION OF A POPE.

[MamaB]

Is he off his rocker? Never heard such nonsense.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

That’s what drove me out of the RCC - I realized that I didn’t need a middle man between me and Christ. The head middle man is still a middle man.

[Lake Living]

First, thanks for posting!

I don’t know if any of you have ever listened to any of the teaching by Jacob Prasch on youtube - but you might want to give him a spin. One of the things he teaches (as do others) is that at the end of the age there will be a big push for a sort of religious multiculturalism as well as cultural. A state where there will be “approved” religions sanctioned by the state and “unapproved” or unsanctioned religions which will be banned. Those “accepted” ones will still have to “bow the knee to Caesar,” if you will, as the supreme entity (we don’t care what you worship as long as you bow to the Beast and the False Prophet). This pope (IMO) seems to be working toward similar goals whether he knows it or not. i.e., you can’t be a Christian unless you come under the jurisdiction of the Catholic Church. A pope this friendly with Obama and what he’s trying to do in the world give me the creeps - and I know I’m not alone.

[jsanders2001]

Hmmm...he just keeps burying himself deeper and giving us more clues about who he really is. It appears the papacy is no longer a godly institution but rather a political one.

[ZinGirl]

Why?....is Jesus’s carbon footprint too big? Does He “know” too much? geeeeez.

[Baldwin77]

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 14:26

[43north]

Ever since I left the Catholic Church I have believed that one should avoid costly middlemen and deal DIRECTLY with God. This guy confirms my belief.

[right way right]

I feel so bad for those Christians before the RCC.
They’re all in hell, I guess.

[madison10]

Dangerous?! Jesus? This pope is who is dangerous.

[SaraJohnson]

LOL! Jesus is real dangerous! Trust the Popster.

[piytar]

Anti-Pope. Maybe the last one.
