This isn’t the first time that the Pope has made very inflammatory statements regarding Jesus Christ. In 2015, the Pope claimed that Jesus’s life ended in failure:
Here is what the Pope said, verbatim:
“The cross shows us a different way of measuring success. Ours is to plant the seeds. God sees to the fruits of our labors. And if at times our efforts and works seem to fail and not produce fruit, we need to remember that we are followers of Jesus Christ and his life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross.”
Since that time, many have debated what the Pope actually meant. The most prolific pro-pope argument claims that Pope Francis meant from a superficial, human point of view, Jesus’ death looks like a failure, but actually, from God’s perspective, it was not.
This is a futile attempt at covering up the Pope’s true intent. It is because of Jesus’s death on the cross that HUMANS have salvation. It is because of the cross that HUMANS now have access to the Father and can be forgiven for sins. Do all humans perceive that to be a failure? Of course not! An early death could very easily mean a successful life in many scenarios.
After having maligned Jesus by painting his death with such words, Pope Francis now seeks to cut your personal relationship with the Son of God. Move on to the next page to see this for yourself:
The one thing that really jumped out at me was the Pope saying we need the church for mediation on our behalf with God.
Jesus is the mediator not the church. That is fact. It appears he is trying to separate Christians from Catholics.
Absurd!
Man of God I meant man of satin
i would have to hear this man with my own ears to believe this. i mean hear him say ” a personal relationship with Jesus is dangerous. i want and choose to believe its twisting his words somehow..i will awlays choose to believe the best in people til it is they who change it before my eyes or in my ears.. Jesus told us how he wanted us to be close to him, how could he read the bible and not notice what Jesus heart was toward us, his children,.. show me a clip or something.. then I’ll comment
I am the way, the truth and the life. Nobody comes to father, except through me.
