You are touting the fact that 9 million human beings watched a secular video about the spirit of man.

That says it all about where the focus of fallen man is.

I believe Psy and his Gangnam Style got even more hits than this one, but he is no more of Christ than these people.

You are substituting human reasoning for godly reasoning. But that is what Catholics do under the umbrella of ecumenism. Any good done by any person must be of God....sorry that is not of God’s mind. No where in this video is Christ being glorified, only man’s goodness....and that is where Catholic belief and other false teachings fail the test.

Now, since your own pope says that unbelievers can please God, then why should a Catholic think any differently. If this is true, as Catholics believe, then there was no need for God to become human and die on the cross. Sometimes I think you have lost all common sense in the stuff you say.

Romans 8:8 “Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.”

Pope Francis: God Redeems Atheists For ‘Good Works,’ Christians Must Accept Non-Believers

We are to tell unbelievers about Jesus, then God will make the truth of our words known to those who have ears to hear, such as Cornelius in Acts 10.

Proverbs 14:12

There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

“Now, since your own pope says that unbelievers can please God, then why should a Catholic think any differently. If this is true, as Catholics believe, then there was no need for God to become human and die on the cross. Sometimes I think you have lost all common sense in the stuff you say”.

The Pope can have his beliefs I have mine. Basically Francis sais is hate the sin but love the sinner. This is what Christ said. As far as non-believers going to heaven, the Catholic Church teaches that if you live according to The Beatitudes, and you have not been exposed to the Christ, you could make it to heaven without being a Christian. I agree with this.

As far as the video having over 9 million hits, that’s almost unheard of in video land. As far as the religion of the people in the video he could have been Christian, Buddist or something else. You do not know and I do not know what the good samataritan’s religion is. But helping out the least fortunate in society is certainly one of the teachings of Christianity.
