Pope Francis called for “a one world government” and “political authority” this week, arguing that the creation of the one world government is needed to combat major issues such as “climate change.” Speaking with Ecuador’s “El Universo” newspaper, the Pope said that the United Nations doesnt have enough power and must be granted full governmental control “for the good of humanity.”
But what is raising eyebrows is the Pope’s call for a new global political authority. Here is more from the Guardian:
Pope Francis will this week call for changes in lifestyles and energy consumption to avert the “unprecedented destruction of the ecosystem” before the end of this century, according to a leaked draft of a papal encyclical. In a document released by an Italian magazine on Monday, the pontiff will warn that failure to act would have “grave consequences for all of us”.
Francis also called for a new global political authority tasked with “tackling … the reduction of pollution and the development of poor countries and regions”. His appeal echoed that of his predecessor, pope Benedict XVI, who in a 2009 encyclical proposed a kind of super-UN to deal with the world’s economic problems and injustices.
The word “globalization” means exactly what it says. It is the process of transitioning the world into a global government. Religious leaders are playing their part in this great deception.
David Rockefeller famously said that a “global crisis” would have to occur before the people of the world would be willing to accept a New World Order. When the world economy suffered a dramatic crash in 2008, world leaders again proclaimed the need for a New World Order with global financial control. As demonstrated by Pope Francis, climate change and the global warming hoax is now the global elite’s preferred method of scaremongering, as they attempt to shepherd humanity closer to unified totalitarian rule.
Disturbingly, world religious leaders are also beginning to come together as one to preach from the same hymn sheet, instructing their sheep to accept the components of the New World Order’s one world government.
In case you missed it, world leaders from a diverse collection of religious communities called for world unity in a video message released last week.
The call for a world government, led by Pope Francis, Ayatollah Al-Milani, the Dalai Lama and Rabbi Abraham Skorka, is seen as a major step on the road to the New World Order that was prophesied over 2,000 years ago.
>>your message is completely unbiblical. When Jesus died on the cross the veil in the temple was torn and we now have direct access to Christ and do not need a ‘middleman’. Further, it is unbiblical to pray to the dead, including Mary.
Which message?
>>YOU need to read that. It’s in Acts 8. I just read it earlier today. He told Philip he didn’t know what Isaiah meant and so Philip helped him. This was why Phillip was sent to him, so that the Eunuch could ultimately start the church/spread the word in Ethiopia.
And so what is your point?
you told another poster that he/she was boastful by saying they don’t need a middleman.
Your point of view is not based on Biblical truth my friend.
you tell me your point; what do you need interpretation of about the Eunuch and Phillip?
>>The truth leads you to Christ, and Christ is the truth. He is also the Word. People that don’t read God’s Word don’t know him.
Doesn’t it say in the Bible that Faith comes through hearing? And I think that since the time of Christ the majority of people have been illiterate. So is it your opinion that everyone who was and is illiterate don’t know Christ? And how about the Christians who lived and died before the Scriptures were available to be read?
It’s apparently a very Catholic error to take the words “work out” and remove them completely from the context of Paul, Apostle to the Gentiles, as well as the Pauline Epistles which are not works-based in the least. Such belief also ignores not just the acknowledged English meaning of the words contained in practically every English translation of the Bible including the 18th century Challoner Revision Douay-Rheims, but the meaning in the original Greek.
I don’t quite understand how such a clumsy and blatant misunderstanding becomes current in a church that so greatly prides itself on being guided by a group of learned elders going back millennia, but there it sits. I wonder if it’s an official church teaching, in which case I’d be totally mystified, or a popular misunderstanding that has been promulgated for the usual reason, i.e. it gives even greater power to the priesthood?
Romans 10:17
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
You seem to want to parse the truth. The truth is, Christ said over and over, it is written, it is written, it is written.
>>Further, we may apply the body of his other teaching and see the consistency of addressing the security of the believer
So is it your opinion that those who “backslide”, and by their thoughts and deeds live contrary to the teachings of God, are still saved anyway? And speaking of “the believer” what exactly is it that must be believed? Doesn’t is say in the Bible that even Satan believes? Is he also saved?
You’re ignoring repentance, there.
When the pope is the devil the church goes on. Definitely not the first time this has happened.
Psalm 146
John 6:28 They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered, and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent. ...35And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst. ... 37All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out. 38Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day. 40And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day.
Here is the Young's Literal, which reads more fully than the Douay-Rheims above:
John 6:35And Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst — at any time; 36but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not; 37all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without, 38because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may do my will, but the will of Him who sent me. 39‘And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise it up in the last day; 40and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.’ [ In our epoch, hearing the Gospel of Grace in Jesus crucified and risen is 'beholding Him'. How one reacts to that beholding, placing faith in His Sacrifice for us, or not, determines eternal destiny during this Age of The Church, the Ekklesia.]
can you post the scripture that says the devil believes? I’ll wait right here....
I agree whole heartily.
Next thing this Jesuit will offer to be the spiritual head of the One World Government he proposes.
Jesus is the Alpha and Omega. Draw close to Him and His Holy Spirit will lead you. He will never leave His own or forsake us!
>>can you post the scripture that says the devil believes? I’ll wait right here....
Yes, I can post it, but it’s at James 2:19.
the demons believe there is one God, not that He’s THEIR God
>>You seem to want to parse the truth. The truth is, Christ said over and over, it is written, it is written, it is written.
Yes, but of course he wasn’t referring to the New Testament scriptures which had not yet been written, so what is your point? And as for parsing the truth, that’s a special expertise that has uniquely characterized Protestant theology from its infancy, which is why there are countless denominations ranging from straight-laced Baptists, to snake-handling Pentecostals, to those with female pastors who champion the cause of Planned Parenthood and gay rights.
Would you care to list out all the various "rites," schisms and occult hybrids that are tolerated with a wink and a nod in the Caribbean and South America, while you're at it? Is Roman Catholicism not in fact in schism from the Eastern Orthodox? They believe so, if I'm not mistaken
So, I'd say hubris in that regard is not particularly advisable but that doesn't seem to prevent it.
>>Your point of view is not based on Biblical truth my friend.
Biblical truth is rather elusive for Protestant Christians which is the primary reason their congregations have, countless times, agreed to disagree and break into separate communions. Some believe in handling snakes, others believe in full immersion, and others shun baptism entirely. And I could go on and on, but you get the point I’m sure.
>> When Jesus died on the cross the veil in the temple was torn and we now have direct access to Christ and do not need a ‘middleman’.
This use of the word “middleman” seems rather odd. Can you explain what you mean by it? For example, is your pastor a middleman? Is the person from whom you received your Bible a middleman? Were the Apostles middlemen? Were the writers of the four gospels middlemen? Did you read your Bible and understand the meaning of every verse you read without any exegesis from your pastor? Just you, the Good Book, and Jesus, right? I thought so!
