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.
This guy’s thoughts and opinions mean about as much to me as does the Grand Potentate of the Odd Fellows.
Harden not your heart.
When the Christian Body of Christ bifurcated into the Atioch Approach to scripture ( literal mrsning of passages ) and the Alexandrian approach ( allorgorizing ) the stage was set for so many generations of papal foolishness. Bergoogle-o is but the latest iteration of such foolishness. Thanks be to God that so many foundering in that ORG actually do believe in Jesus as Savior so they will not be herded along the broad road leading to destruction of the spirit. It is so very difficult to get out of the ORG mindset.
If Noah is a mythical tale, what in the Bible isn’t?
On the contrary.
You cup would be perpetually overrunning with joy were you a member of the Mystical Body of Christ.
Catholics get a cafeteria catholic pope.
I wonder when they will say enough and end the charade.
Satan’s “happiness” is relative.
He knows how this all ends. Hes extremely smart, knows what he can and cannot do, and he knows its already been lost.
The Pope doesn’t comprehend that that the Noah story doesn’t mean anything at all if it isn’t absolutely true?
If he has read the Bible, he apparently missed the part where God said He wouldn’t do that again.
Just another Leftist re-writing history ... the history of the Church in this matter.
Jer. 51 & Rev. 18...
"this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place"
All of it. Start with the prophesies which have been fulfilled in the recent past, and work backwards. You might research the prophecy concerning the nation of Israel becoming a nation again, in one day, first.
I think the a rainbow means something else to Fr. Bergoglio.
MAAG. Please stop this. Consider taking back your harsh words and heedless implications. Mary Ever Virgin was perfect from the beginning, from the very moment she was conceived in her mother’s womb. No other human being, past, present or future, compares to her in purity, obedience, humility, and natural conformance to the mind and will of God. Unsullied by sin, including that of our original parents, from the earliest years of her childhood she needed only to close her eyes and begin to meditate and pray to connect directly with God’s very thoughts and intentions on any subject or in any situation. The handmaiden of the Lord, heedless of the judgment of man, confident in the wisdom and discretion of her worthy spouse and holy guardian Joseph, she willingly became the spotless Ark of the New Covenant, the New Holy of Holies. Placing herself at the service of the Christ’s bishops from the very moment of Christ’s death on the cross until her glorious assumption into Heaven to become its true and only Queen, wherein alone among men her glorified body has already been reunited with her unblemished soul, she was, for many years after the Holy Spirit descended upon her and the Apostles at Pentacost, the inspiring standard, the mysterious human magnet that irresistably unified the far-flung members of the nascent Church Militant until it could survive without her. Without a doubt, Full of Grace deserves much better than whatever your comment was meant to convey.
This idiot could have pursued ANY othe vocation... welder, accountant, auto mechanic... but no..
He sponges off the church - and never learns a THING about what it’s all about..
Regrettably, yes, this is very likely true.
That individual is not even a Christian, let alone a leader of Christianity.
God looks upon the heart, not upon the form of ritual by which He is worshipped.
1 John 1:8 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
The Lord Jesus was without sin, and no other, please don't be fooled.
Consider what our Lord says to the Catholic church. Revelation 2:18-29 New Message to Thyatira
Says a lot when he put "vices" first.
