The Pope is tragically in error. To reject this unspeakable gift of love is to reject God Himself. As Psalms 14 states, "...the fool says in his heart, NO God!" An atheist is not someone who is in ignorance, but rather someone who foolishly rejects God.
John 8:24 "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."
Truthorfiction.com is using semantics to try to deny this because of the words.
“Pope Francis Says Atheists Go to Heaven â Fiction!” which is true.What he actually said is
“âBut I donât believe, Father, I am an atheist!â But do good: We will meet one another there.â
I think they look like fools for even going there.
I’m kinda waiting for His Popeness to tell Islam
that you don’t have to be a muslim to get to paradise.
Hey, we get 72 virgins, no matter what.
Yo, can’t touch this!
Francis is antichrist. His comments cannot be viewed any other way. He preaches deliberate error to deceive many, many, many. Not the gospel, but another gospel. Treacherous.
And you guys call this guy the 'vicar of Christ'; Holy Father...
This guy is a phony...He doesn't even know the scriptures...His office is all show...He's not a vicar, he's not holy and he's not a father...
“I am the way, the truth and the light.”
Only through Jesus do we get through the narrow gate.
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
Did Francis study theology under Joel Osteen?
Then why even have heaven? Why even have religious moral beliefs? Why did Jesus die? It’s idiots like this that make me distrust Catholicism.
What the pope has said is not true. A person who does not believe in God has no chance of heaven. Just read the bible. Over and over again, reference is made to the point that you must believe in God in order to make it into heaven. A man who says otherwise is distorting the truth.
There comes a time when you must rely on what you have learned and been taught, and not listen to what is twisted teaching. Why would God allow somebody who spends their life being arrogant and ignoring science and nature and all other evidences to say there is no God enter heaven when you and I are breaking our necks to serve him, and we have to worry if we’ll make it? Come on! Get real! Atheists going to heaven?
“stating that non-believers would be forgiven by God if they followed their consciences.”
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
