Pope Francis, "If Mary is not your Mother, you are an orphan!"
Charisma News ^ | 9/5/2014 | Jennifer LeClaire

Posted on 09/11/2014 11:19:06 AM PDT by Jan_Sobieski

Pope Francis has been a breath of fresh air for many Catholics seeking greater liberty and a growing concern for conservative Christians who take issue with his comments about homosexuality and other cultural issues.

But the pontiff's latest statement is sparking an uproar from believers around the world. Pope Francis sent a tweet Tuesday that absolutely violates the truth of Scripture:

"The Christian who does not feel that the Virgin Mary is his or her mother is an orphan," Pope Francis tweeted.

As of the time I wrote this column it had been retweeted about 4,000 times and many of the responses were in appropriately unkind. It's not appropriate to attack the pope for his beliefs. It's more appropriate to share the truth...

Satan would rather we see that than this......

Revelation 1:12-18 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

Having in our minds a dead, impotent Christ still bound to the cross will keep us from realizing the fulness of who we are in Christ and what we have in Him, and that includes the fact that Satan is DEFEATED (past tense) and has no more power in our lives other than what we give him.

Do you believe the Vail was rent giving us access to the very throne of God and no longer need those?

>>but Yeshua has never once entered any “church” after his resurrection.<<

"Wherever two or three are gathered in my name there I am in the midst of them".

You don't believe anything changed after Christ's death and ressurection?

" wherever two or three are gathered in my name there I am in the midst of them".

1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

"And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split."(Mt 27:50-51)

First, the veil was a significant structure. It was approximately 6-feet high and 4-inches thick.

Notice that it was torn from top to bottom. It was a work of God.

The veil is a "type" of Christ. We can now enter the "Holy of Holies" because He opened the way (Heb 10:19,20). It's no longer an inadequate, annual ritual of atonement for past sins, it is an every day access and forgiveness for all sin (I John 1:9)

When it was torn in two, man's inability to access the Father was gone. Christ is the "Great High Priest" (Heb 8:1,2). He led the captive free! Christ made a substitutionary payment ("propitiation") for our sins.

The resurrection follows and brings us new life in Christ. Here is the power for living that the children of God have. Hallelujah!

"Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."(Heb 4:14-16)

I’d prefer you not post to me.

I kinda figured this; since I am pestering you no end for you to post EVIDENCE of your scurrilous charges of DISHONOR.
