I don’t think he has come as a teacher to the Pope. Or do you suggest that you shouldn’t invite anyone into your house unless they are already a believer?
Isn’t that the attitude the Pharisees had when Jesus ate and enjoyed the company of those that were not acceptable?
Good morning. You didn’t answer my question in post 10, so I don’t feel obligated to follow your deflection attempt and answer yours.
Jewish Rabbi Abraham Skorka would deny Jesus is the Christ.
Therefore according to the spiritual litmus test of 1 John 4:1-3, which you posted in your post 6, Skorka is not of God.
Rabbi, or “teacher”, Skorka said all the little Catholics said “Amen” after his talks and prayers.
John warned in 2 John 1:
9Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. 10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting; 11for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.

This probably doesn’t give you the warm fuzzies as much as the Babylon builder’s version gives you.
Who knows, maybe Rabbi Skorka will convert Pope Francis! The “New Evangelism” could backfire.
