“Francis is more interested in leftwing politics than in Catholic theology”, George Neumayr, contributing editor of The American Spectator, states talking to Tom Woods on July 14th on tomwoods.com. Woods describes Francis as a result of John Paul II who - as he puts it - appointed "absolutely terrible people" as bishops: "Catholics have suffered under Bergoglios for decades now”.
Neumayr agrees that a lot of the liberal bishops were appointed by John Paul II and Benedict XVI. He sees Francis as the “culmination of a century” of liberalism and modernism in the Church.
For him it is "highly unlikely" that Francis, who in his theology is “more a Protestant than a Catholic” will convert to Catholicism. Instead, the realistic scenario is that Francis will produce division and chaos, "Catholics will have to decide whether they guard the faith over papolatry.”
And: “The Cardinals have to declare that Francis is a bad pope who must be resisted.”

What questions?
Are they relevant, or are they the typical strained rhetoric BB usually posts?
.
The Words of JESUS:
John 14
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God ; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”(Jesus the Way to the Father)
5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.
John 6:28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
39 & 40
And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of all those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day. For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”42 They were asking, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then can He say, ‘I have come down from heaven?’”
43 Stop grumbling among yourselves, Jesus replied. “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.

If you post to me, please do not deliberately post known falsehood about any servant of Yehova as you have done in post 1122.
I would have thought that was beneath you.

As the great apostle John explained in his first epistle, to believe in the one he has sent, one has to walk as he walked.
That requires full obedience to every commandment.
Yeshua and all of his apostles were totally Torah compliant, as he expects us to also be.
If you are not, you do not believe in him.
.
You were asked multiple times on this thread.
It a single answer yet.
.
There is not one word John 14 that relieves anyone of the requirement to keep the commandments.
What are you imagining?
.
.
Take your childish game to someone else please!
This satanic heckling is of no value, please desist.
.
Hmmmm...yet you cannot bring yourself to either confirm or DENY what Rood has never denounced - the teachings and beliefs he held when he was a follower of The Way International (TWI). His biography claims that he is an “ordained nondenominational Christian minister,” but does not state that it is The Way Int. which ordained him. By implying that this ordination gives him credibility, and that the ordaining body is credible, he misrepresents his background. How about it, ES? Do you affirm or not:
that Jesus Christ was a perfect man but not human and divine?
that the Holy Spirit is not a personal being?
that the filling of the Holy Spirit just amounts to people regaining their own spirit which was lost at the Fall?
that many verses of the Bible are untrustworthy because they were altered hundreds of years after they were written?
You can call it poopy and lies and foolish all you want - maybe YOU are the one who needs a shower? - but the funny thing is you STILL refuse to answer simple questions. Why is that?

Amen bro. Keep up the good work BB.
Almost always, cult followers were do not want to clearly answer direct questions.
It will blow their cover and reveal their heretical teachings.
I’ve seen it with several other cults too.
.
I did address those false questions.
Each of them is a “have you stopped beating your wife” false assertion deviously posed as a question.
Honest people do not post in that manner.
They are all agitprop directly from the adversary.
They divulge much about the person posting them, and none of it good.
Its time to discontinue this game.
.
“I did address those false questions.
Please post a link to where you answered these questions.
I think everyone missed your answers.
I’d like to read what you wrote.
If you post to me, please do not deliberately post known falsehood about any servant of Yehova as you have done in post 1122.
***
I think that accusing another poster of deliberate lying is against the RF rules.
“please do not deliberately post known falsehood” attributes motive and the guidelines specifically prohibit that as it is the same as an accusation of lying.
Debate without going around the guidelines.
Your cult leader has completely inveigled your miond so that now you are incapable of discerning The Truth of The Grace of God in Christ. ... 'Get thee behind us, satan' Jesus is Lord and the Goly Spirit indwells ALL who call upon the Jesus GOD sent for our Salvation, during this Age of the Ekklesia of believers.
It is encumbent that you prove any post is false that you claim is a falsehood. So far, cult-boy, you have not refuted one single fact about your cult leader, Michael Rood. Buzz off, fanboy.

There is no answer to such questions, since there is no one that even holds such beliefs as posed in the “questions.”
They are not legitimate questions since they are not addressing reality.
I refuse to join in doing the adversary’s work.
I also do not participate in devious childish games that defeat the purpose of the forum.
.
This is the identical answer I've seen from other cults - mormon, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.
There are answers. They are easy... if you want to answer them. You claimed you *already* answered them.
WHERE???
