God is not afraid of new things. Is water wet?
God does not fear anything. However, sin separates men from their creator. This separation is not God’s plan because we were created to know love and serve him. God hates what sin does to his creation.
“But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear” (Isaiah 59:2
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9)
Pope Francis is creating a deception which will cause one to squander God’s perfect plan of salvation for them. All this to put the warm and fuzzies on the face of the Roman Catholic Church.
I remember hearing that In the last days before the coming of Christ we are told that the people will gather around them teachers that say what their itchy ears want to hear. I’m not sure if that’s what’s happening, or if the Catholic church is part of that prophecy, as it doesn’t seem the “people” are quite enamored with what he’s saying...
If God hates sin, but sin continues to exist. Then God allowed sin to enter the world. For a reason, which my Grandpa told me hypothetically once when I asked him why God would allow such a thing, that God may have made a perfect civilization made to worship him or he knew that it wouldn’t work. That his servants must love him and worship him for him through their own free will. God isn’t a slave driver.
Bottom line is some people will love God, and some won’t. You can’t understand Gods will. I believe there is much much more to the universe and God’s reasons. But as his servants in Heaven we will certainly learn things that even the most righteous man could not even guess at. God’s perceptions , motives, and even HOW and WHERE God exists must be completely incomprehensible to us and even a glimmer would literally make our heads explode. God is loving, and life is the test. What comes after as God’s servant must be beyond any persons wildest imagination.
THEREFORE THE ONLY THING THAT SHOULD MATTER TO ANYONE, IF THEY BELIEVE OR NOT, IS TO SERVE GOD.
