All religions in this world are defiled and man made. They are based on what a man must do to get to heaven.
The great commission quoted did not mention any religion, only as you go into the world (in your normal life), make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. Some think it tells us to travel to every country in the world, but that is not the original meaning in the Greek.
This is biblical teaching and it leads to faith in the risen Messiah as a gift from God, not of works lest any man should boast. God saves His people that He chose from before the foundation of the world. He makes us a new creation in the Messiah Yeshua. All praise and glory for the salvation of anyone goes to God alone, not to preachers, the works of man or his many defiled religions.
The gospel preached by John the baptist and Yeshua in scripture are simply, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand". This needs to be modified today as they were preaching to people who knew scripture and believed in the God of Creation. First we need to establish that God created all things by His word in 6 days and that He has spoken to us through the prophets and in these last days in His Son. All these words are found in the bible and they apply to us. If we are His children and we do have faith in Him then we will obey His word, love Him and our neighbour as ourselves.
"Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world." (James 1: 27)
Rome has always been a Pagan religion since Constantine took control as both the leader while still being the high priest of his Pagan religion. This priest is just another example of how they blend in with the local form of Paganism and lead many along the road to hell while thinking they are going to heaven for their good works while their confessions absolve them of any sins that they still love to do.
The Roman Catholic Church has totally usurped The Godhead’s role in salvation making it a religion of works & not grace. This of course makes the parishioners think that only they have earned the right to be in God’s Kingdom & outsiders are merely dogs!! Once more whatever comes out of the minds of their leaders is not to be questioned, hence we see a total disregard for God’s laws. This is no more than a social club whose fees are exorbitant!!
They will have smoking ceremonies before their inclusion complete with special gum trees grown exclusively for their fragrant leaves before too much longer
That’s a terrible betrayal of true Catholic believers but not surprising after the latest papal encyclical ‘Instrumentum Laboris’ which basically recommends that woke psychobabble and social reform and ‘let’s listen and walk together’ (?!?!) in, yes, you guessed it, inclusion, equity and diversity is the way forward for the synodical movement of the Catholic Church. And let’s just learn from the experiences of all these other different people aka mixed up weirdos that make up 2% of our population. Let’s listen - we don’t know what to - and let’s walk together - we don’t know where…. It’s mindless meaningless rubbish.
The Roman catholic Church gave up on the bible centuries ago to become a power structure. That's why the protestant reformation happened 500 years ago. Millions of bible believing Christians were murdered by the R C in wars that lasted decades, like the 30 year war in Germany where whole cities were murdered and so many fled as refugees to other cities, only to die of cold and hunger in the streets and on peoples door steps as the house owners were also cold and starving.
I have only 1 German ancestor who came to Aust but 2 stories about his family. 1) an engineer in the family was involved in building the 1st iron bridge over the Rhine River. 2) the family had a large family bible that was chained to the post at the bottom of the staircase just inside the front door. The door was left unlocked so anyone who wanted to could come in and read the bible for themselves. The chain was to stop Roman catholic s stealing the bible to destroy it. Don't know the city or town, don't know which decade or century.

Thanks James for spelling out the difference between really believing and sort of believing. If this world offers no purpose, hope or future to look forward to or to live now and all religions are the same as in universalism, why would people as you say put their life on the line for what they believe? The martyrs are no doubt rolling in their graves. Narrow is the gate that leads to life is what Jesus said and backed it up with willingly going to the cross for us all. Being the only one to show us eternal life was truly possible by a practical demonstration and many signs and wonders that continue to this day, I do not understand how the earthly supposed leader of the flock can be so flippant and dismissive of Christianity that they supposedly represent.
As a Catholic who has helped 180 Catholic youth who will be at this world youth day … all I can say is this. Jesus is King and the youth don’t want your BS weak preaching. I lay this at the feet of the Pope lead the flock or step aside
Spot on James. This is yet another sign of the great falling away... where there are many truths, but not any one specific truth we should worry about. You know, the whole Jesus being the way, the truth and the life thing and no man coming to the Father but by Him... that kind of absolute truth.
One can only assume the guy in a white frock is comfortable not telling people about the judgement to come, or warning a lost and dying world about the reality of Hell that awaits those who continue to walk in their own vain imagination, rebellion and pride. Unless of course, he simply skipped over that part of scripture in favour of the whole diversity, inclusion and equity false gospel.
I guess there's one word to sum up this guy's approach to going unto all the world... 'Ichabod', for the spirit of God has departed. That is, if it was ever there.
Sad for the Catholic Church & all religions really! If you have no courage in your convictions as you say James, then what's the point? What you say here is so true! Thanks for sharing!
So well said. I'm sorry but it seems to be the attitude of so many Catholics where I live. A friend who was 28 years in a convent in Algerie said that they disliked and feared evangelicals because they were capable of rocking the boat and causing trouble i.e. proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Incredible.
I didn't find any real biblical believers the last time I tried to meet some there.
Have you tried talking to these people about the sermon or some biblical teaching?
I found glazed over eyes and people that have to go somewhere else now.
As with One world government there will be a one world religion.

This is SOCIALISM we need to go back to a central Democracy YOU ideits 👿😈👿😈👿😈
By believing in anything, you will believe in nothing and by believing in nothing you will believe in anything.

Yes a nice guy in a frock who obviously doesn’t read the Bible!!

One world religion right there.
Believe whatever the Hell you want and to Hell you will be ushered in.
Exactly

Wake up and get out of the church of Satan and take the kids with you before it is too late!

We need more boat rocking.
