Pope Francis has a curious understanding of the bible, according to him it’s a real book that contains stories that may or not be ‘mythical’, like the flood of Noah. He seems to be quite unsure of the veracity of the Genesis account, so he quotes secular experts who agree it’s mythical . I am guessing he does this so as to not offend the atheists.
“And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.” Genesis 6:17 (KJB)
Moving on from whether or not the ‘vicar of Christ’ actually does believe the biblical account of Noah’s flood, on his second point there is no misunderstanding him. Pope Francis believes that climate change is something that God will judge the world for with perhaps a second flood, and says nothing about God judging people for their sins. Guess no one told Francis that God cursed the earth back in Genesis 3, and Romans 8 shows of how the earth desires to be released from that curse. But isn’t that just like the Whore of Babylon to get you focused on your ‘sin’ of climate change while leaving your actual sins which you have committed unpaid for.
If you are a Roman Catholic, your pope is taking you to Hell at lightning speed. You better get saved before you die because Hell is real, and purgatory is not. Choose wisely. And I can guarantee you one thing, no one will be sent to Hell for how they treated the earth. But you will be sent to Hell for dying without getting saved by the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
FROM BREITBART NEWS: Pope Francis has warned of the possibility of a second great flood, like that of Noah’s time, if humanity fails to address global warming.
“God’s wrath is directed against injustice, against Satan,” the pope states in a book titled Of Vices and Virtues due for release Tuesday. “It is directed against evil, not that which derives from human weakness, but evil of Satanic inspiration: the corruption generated by Satan.”
“God’s wrath is meant to bring justice, to ‘clean up,’” the pontiff declares in an advance excerpt of the book published by the Italian daily Corriere della Sera Sunday.
“The Bible says that the flood is the result of God’s wrath,” Francis continues. “It is a figure of God’s wrath, who according to the Bible has seen too many bad things and decides to obliterate humanity.”
“THE BIBLICAL FLOOD, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS, IS A MYTHICAL TALE,” THE POPE STATES, PARENTHETICALLY ADDING HIS HOPE THAT NO ONE WRITES THAT “THE POPE SAYS THE BIBLE IS A MYTH.”
“But myth is a form of knowledge,” he says. “The flood is a historical tale, archaeologists say, because they found traces of a flood in their excavations.”
“A great flood, perhaps due to a rise in temperature and the melting of the glaciers, is what will happen now if we continue along the same path,” the pope warns.
“God unleashed his wrath, but he saw a righteous one, took him and saved him,” he says. “The story of Noah demonstrates that God’s wrath is also salvific.”
The pope’s new book recounts conversations between the pontiff and Father Marco Pozza, chaplain of the prison of Padua in the north of Italy.
Francis has made care for the environment and opposition to climate change a hallmark of his almost eight-year pontificate, taking to task world leaders who have shown too little resolve in their battle against global warming.
HE SAID LAST YEAR THAT IT IS “EVIDENT” THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS TO BLAME FOR A NUMBER OF HUMANITY’S SOCIAL ILLS, AS WELL AS DISRUPTING THE BALANCE OF NATURE.
“It is evident that climate change not only upsets the balance of nature, but causes poverty and hunger, affects the most vulnerable, and sometimes forces them to leave their land,” the pope told a group gathered in the Vatican. The pope’s audience consisted of participants in a meeting of members of the Laudato Sì community, named after the pontiff’s 2015 encyclical letter on the environment, which bears the same name.
“We need a real will to tackle the root causes of the ongoing climate upheavals,” Francis insisted. “Generic commitments are not enough — words, words.
An agreement was made with Obama.
Obama: “Support our agenda and we won’t sue the Catholic Church into oblivion for hiding pedophile priests”
I had for years a belief that this Pope has solidified. God is God, but churches are of man not God. God did not create dogma, man did. If you need any further proof just look at the Catholic Church today. God will not punish man for climate change, he will punish us for not following him. Instead mankind is following idiots who pretend to know what is God’s intent.
If God were a being like many have conceived him to be, he would be sitting in heaven eating popcorn with the angels, listening to this Pope and televangialists speak. They would all start laughing. Laughing God would turn to Michael and say “did you hear the $hi+ that guy just said.”
So, the Great Flood was due to Climate Change, but they didn’t know it. < /s>
This imposter pope is a disaster.
This “pope” is really a looloo.
Why doesn’t this marxist trash come out already as an atheist?
I am delighted that Francis Bergoglio disproves papal infallibility.
Amen.
“How long can you tread water?”
Isn’t it about time for some white smoke?
Ancient alien folks say it was animal DNA put aboard the Ark.
Surprised the anti-pope didn’t go there...
When you don’t hold scrioture as the final authority and put your own (catholic) mythology on a level equal to or even superior to scrioture this is what you get. Why would anyone be surprised?
A pope denying the word of God?
Sounds like a foolish thing to do.
Francis Poopus seems not to have spent much time studying geology. The last great ice age ended at roughly the same time as the Great Flood. Equally important, Greco-Roman pagan religions record a highly similar event, albeit without Noah and the Ark. Looks to me like the end of the great ice age caused the Great Flood and each of the mideastern religions recorded it in a somewhat similar way.
I know he’s not nuttiest Pope ever...but close
False Prophet, not AC.
I would be unhappy we’re I catholic
I know I know the ancient faith transcends this
But would it be nice to be inspired by your earthly leader more often than not
Think how decent priests and nuns must feel
I wonder what percentage like him
Obviously the COC does
I think they ousted Benedict personally to put this clown in
Apostate much?
“Pope Francis has a curious understanding of the bible...”
He is merely doing the work of his father...Satan.
LOL - and I remember when these people said we have to look to the Roman Catholic priesthood for a reliable interpretation of scripture.
