When the pope came out and said it was dangerous to have a personal relationship with Yeshua .....
I couldn’t believe that!
It is if you are hated for it. The more you live like Him and become like Him, being a light and spreading the Gospel, bringing hope to the lost, the more you are a target of Satan. Can’t win the battles without armor, so I would have to agree with the Pope. If that is what he meant.
