Pope Francis, "If Mary is not your Mother, you are an orphan!"
Charisma News ^ | 9/5/2014 | Jennifer LeClaire

Posted on 09/11/2014 11:19:06 AM PDT by Jan_Sobieski

Pope Francis has been a breath of fresh air for many Catholics seeking greater liberty and a growing concern for conservative Christians who take issue with his comments about homosexuality and other cultural issues.

But the pontiff's latest statement is sparking an uproar from believers around the world. Pope Francis sent a tweet Tuesday that absolutely violates the truth of Scripture:

"The Christian who does not feel that the Virgin Mary is his or her mother is an orphan," Pope Francis tweeted.

As of the time I wrote this column it had been retweeted about 4,000 times and many of the responses were in appropriately unkind. It's not appropriate to attack the pope for his beliefs. It's more appropriate to share the truth...

WE are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus dwells in our hearts by faith.

We don't need to go anywhere to find Him. Where two or three are gathered in His name, He is in the midst.

Acts 17:24-25 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.

Colossians 1:27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Um... That’s Old Testament, old covenant times.

God destroyed the Temple for a reason.

Just as the veil was torn because it wasn’t needed any more, the temple was destroyed because it wasn’t needed any more.

The only person to ever walk the face of this earth who didn't sin and wasn't God was Mary.

Catholic propaganda.

NO data exists to back this up!

Are your two loves EQUAL?

Your ability to twist everything is getting annoying.

'Twist' WHAT?

You refuse to post a response to me that Jesus is sufficient for salvation.

...or that the 'church' is NECESSARY for it!

My goodness, Elsie, Jesus endured hours of absolute torture for us, and right before he stated "It is finished," he says to John, "Behold your mother." Since these words fell at the very end [of his life], wouldn't it stand to reason they were of utmost importance and should not be ignored?



My goodness, Mlizzy, the Prots in this thread have endured hours of absolute torture; seeing how your chosen religion has so tainted you RCC members ability to actually READ the bible!


and right before he stated "It is finished," he says to John, "Behold your mother." Since these words fell at the very end [of his life], wouldn't it stand to reason they were of utmost importance and should not be TWISTED to mean something entirely different:

Hey WORLD!

'Woman' is now YOUR Mother; too!

Pray to her to get to me."

God created Mary sinless

More undocumented; non-biblical assertion.

It is DAMN-near HERESY!

What did Jesus say he would do concerning those who deny him on Earth?

It mattereth not; as the 'church' would teache that He really didn't mean THAT; but THIS.

Your statement is non-biblical. Where does the Bible say that every religious truth is contained in the Bible?

It is DAMN-near HERESY!

Who has the authority to define heresies?

Hint: Mary leads everyone to her Son, Jesus, as she’s the mother of God. Does this disturb you?

Yes.

Is it designed to do so?


John 12:32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. (Although 'Woman' has to doing the LEADING first...)


John 6:44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. (After 'Woman' has done the LEADING first...)

Best not to take things out of context, lest you confuse the both of us.

Is this an admission you are confused?

The Catholic Church has never promoted the worship of Mary.

Just the ABSOLUTE necessity to VENERATE her and PRAY to her and ADORE her and LOVE her; right?

If you DISHONOR her; she'll get snippy and not LEAD you to her Son.

You're right. And I'm not going to...

Excuse me your Honor; I didn't know you were the High Priest; who can DEMAND that YOUR requests be met.

Are there ANY Catholics in this thread, who are not as arrogant as you appear to be, that WILL answer the very simple question?

What are you talking about? What pictures? (Surely you don’t mean Titian is only for 5 years olds, I pray God.) I don’t feel attacked at all. This is a fairly benign thread - unlike the usual Catholic bashing threads.
