Next to last paragraph we find this:
“a departure from Catholic traditions.”
The rest of the stuff, seems all ungodly.
Catholic traditions, being mostly extra-Biblical, seems like a good departure.
I’ll take this part of that post:
Jesus said ‘He Is the Way The Truth and
The Life,No One comes to The Father
But by Me.’
That’s the Gospel Truth.
As far as what’s in KC’s eyes, doesn’t concern me.
He never was someone I was ever interested in.
So, no comment.
“Our Church will survive his vanity”
You mean the Catholic Church?
《》《¤》Pope Francis is making a plea for the union of many faiths. He reportedly has said, “Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Jehovah, Allah. These are all names employed to describe an entity that is distinctly the same across the world.” He opened the door to Muslim prayers at the Vatican.《》《■》
This guy is the Leader of The Catholic Church?
So there are no Christians in it?
They surely can’t go along with all that stuff.
It sure looks Apostate to me.
Luke 21:28You may want to read the context.“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
King James Version (KJV)
《¤》
...a friend of Francis, Anglican Episcopal Bishop Tony Palmer, who told Copeland’s audience that “Catholic and Charismatic renewal is the hope of the Church.”
《■》
And Copelands followers cheered.
Hmmm...
What Palmer meant was the hope of Catholicism, NOT Christianity.
And he may not know that was what he was saying.
Of course hard-core Catholics will be ecstatic because to them it means gobs of Christians will come back to the Catholic “C”hurch.
Cause it is the ONE TRUE AND APOLISTIC CHURCH.
I went to a “meet the pastor” dinner last night at our neighborhood Baptist Church. It is a thing they do for people considering joining. You get info on the church, its beliefs, the missions, etc.
There were 16 people in attendance. We were all asked to introduce ourselves and share a little bit about us.
Twelve of the sixteen were former Catholics. It came up as the evening went on that the pastor is a former Catholic.
Most of them shared that while the Catholic faith had been what they had been raised in, they never felt they had a personal relationship with their savior, Jesus Christ. It was all just ritual.
To hear the same thing over and over again drove home the fact that the Catholic Church has a problem. These were mostly people in their 60’s and 70’s who want more than the Catholic Church is giving.
——>We cannot know ahead of time who these personalities are...
Protestant Reforms had no problem identifying the Antichrist power generally as the Papacy and the Pope as THE Antichrist...from bible prophecy. Anyone who can’t see/understand that will certainly be deceived (and already is). It’s not just “one guy”.
1. It will rise to be a great power after the fall of the pagan Roman empire (after 476 A.D.). See Early Church Fathers on Antichrist.
2. It will be a geographically small nation (a little horn).
3. It will rule over many people, nations, and tongues (it will be universal).
4. It will be headquartered in the city of seven hills, Rome.
5. It will be a religio-political entity — a political city-state ruled by a priest-king.
6. Its priest-king will make great and blasphemous claims.
7. It will claim authority over all kings.
8. It will claim its power to change the holy times and laws of God as its mark of authority.
9. It will be an apostate church, that makes the nations drink her cup of apostate doctrine.
10. It will be a “mother” church, with apostate daughters coming from her.
11. It will be a persecuting power, killing the faithful saints of Jesus Christ as heretics.
12. It will hold power and authority for 1260 years following the fall of pagan Rome.
13. It will suffer a deadly wound that will end 1260 years of dominance and persecution.
14. It will be revived after the deadly wound, and all the world will wonder at it’s revival.
Bless You Sister!
And yes, this is an awful place for God’s Children to be in currently - but take heart, He has overcome the world!
I see dead Man.
Looking down mean’t looking at hell. I AM IN HEAVEN.
Looking up mean’t I AM IN HELL.
You are far too kind to the Catholic Church.
They are ruled by Satanists.
Getting out is not just a preference—it is a necessity.
Ah yes THAT Jack Chick tract.
Keep reading. You’re wrong.
The Vatican is on the other side of the Tiber. It was never part of old Rome.
Read history too. Protestantism never existed before 1517.
——>Ah yes THAT Jack Chick tract.
I have no idea who you’re talking about, other than when people like you mention the guy’s name.
——>The Vatican is on the other side of the Tiber. It was never part of old Rome.
Then someone should contact Francis and tell him to drop any association with the word ROME, especially calling himself the Bishop of ROME. Not possible, is it? Nope.
It will rise to be a great power after the fall of the pagan Roman empire (after 476 A.D.).
The "pagan Roman empire" was pretty much gone by AD 476. All of the emperors including and after Theodosius the Great (ca AD 380) considered themselves Christians.
The Roman empire (that's what they called themselves!) continued to exist in the East until 1453.
Besides, what do you think happened in 1736 (= 1260 + 476)?
It will be headquartered in the city of seven hills, Rome.
List of cities claimed to be built on seven hills (it's a long one)
The important one to note on that list is Jerusalem. Unless you think Cincinnati plays a role in the end times.
Vatican Hill, BTW, is not one of the original seven hills of Rome.
The Little Horn ANTICHRIST power (Papacy) comes out of the 4th beast, which is Western Pagan Rome, among the 10 divisions, and lasts until the second coming of Jesus Christ. That point is UNDENIABLE from Daniel 7.
19Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; 20And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. 21I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 22Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
23Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 24And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. 26But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. 27And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
It caused 3 of those kingdoms (horns/divisions) to be uprooted, the last one being the Ostrogoths, being defeated and expelled from Rome, never more to be heard from again. That happened in 538. The Papacy officially ruled 538 - 1798 AD. Now, what do you supposed happened in 1798?
Take a wild guess.
Mel Gibson has a video circulating that states there is being built a secret church within the catholic church that will eventually brought out and replace the old order. Kind of like what is happening today with our government.
Napoleon marched through Rome ?
Yikes. Something I did not know....
DC qualifies, according to that link.
Considering what the US future probably holds, that is not a comforting thought.
