I watched on in despair this week as Pope Francis told an interfaith gathering in Singapore that the Christian faith was just one of many roads to God.
"Pope Francis: People Are Fundamentally Good, The Heart Is Good"
When the "leader" of 1.4 billion Roman Catholics states publicly that ""We are all fundamentally good. Yes, there are some rogues and sinners, but the heart itself is good," one cannot help but wonder why there is so much illusion, delusion and confusion in the world.
Dear Roman Catholic friends, I urge you to place your trust in the Christ alone, not in the unbiblical teachings of popery.
Psalm 118:8 teaches us " It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.'
Know also that "....we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." (Isaiah 64:6).
Read the words of Jeremiah and see that he tells us that "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" (Jeremiah 17:9)
God gave us His Holy & "Infallible" Word. It is written in the Bible.
He warns us in Revelation 22:18 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:"
Such as what Rome has done with her many unbiblical doctrines, man-made traditions and canon laws.
It is clear that Rome and her popes have rejected God's Word, and that she keeps her faithful in the darkness, blindly dependent on her lies, where there is no Light!
"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." John 8:12
So which will you follow? God and His Light, or popes in their darkness?
You cannot follow both.
Please continue to pray for our Roman Catholic friends and loved ones, that the Lord will fill their hearts with the need of a True Savior in Jesus Christ so that they would receive Christ as Lord & Savior and trust in the "power of His resurrection" and seek all truth in God's Word ALONE! Then and only then, will they have right standing before God. Then and only then will they be made aware of their spiritual bondage in this deceitful religion and then and only then will they break free from the chains of the false gospel that binds them.
When the Catholic hierarchy exposes their true colours, it shows that the last days are truly upon us. It will be interesting to see if the other bishops and priests speak up or cower under the papal leadership.
When everything is acceptable then nothing has value. The Pope is showing no leadership at all. He is plainly wrong as is the whole Papist church. When you don’t see the Bible as the word of God then this what you get syncretism, error and blasphemy. Is he the Anti Christ - he sure looks like one?
The whole world is groaning for godly leadership but this isn’t it.
We have two tier more gear Kier, a demented old man , a several fools running the west. Even the so called conservative ones like Meloni are frauds. She won’t stop the boats and Italy voted for the terrorist motion at the UN.
Whom have I in heaven but thee, and there is none upon the earth besides thee. The Lord is our portion forever.
"And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved." 2 Thessalonians 2:10
Greetings from Paul
(2 Corinthians 1:1-2)
1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
2Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
3Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 5That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 6Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 7So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Unity in the Church
(Psalm 133:1-3; Ephesians 4:1-16)
10Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? 14I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 15Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. 16And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
Christ the Wisdom and Power of God
18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
The Foolish to Shame the Wise
25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
The Man of Sin (2 Thessalonians 2)
1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Stand Firm
13But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 17Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
As for the spiral into the current insanity, it's further proof of the veracity and reliability of God's word. It's all been prophesied - the moral inversion of good being called evil and vice versa. Normal ain't coming back. Jesus is. best be ready.
Ever since Covid, this world has spiralled out of control. It was heading that way for quite a long time, but not as exponentially as the last 4 years. Demons have been released to bring confusion, lies and darkness to the souls of so many. This IS NOT NORMAL! It is satanic and we who believe tghat Jesus Christ is Lord, muist stand against it!

So true and so obviously so, wo be tired the West.
Surprised about the pope's 'inclusive' policies? The Papacy's history is written in blood and abject moral decay.
When the Catholic hierarchy exposes their true colours, it shows that the last days are truly upon us. It will be interesting to see if the other bishops and priests speak up or cower under the papal leadership.
When everything is acceptable then nothing has value. The Pope is showing no leadership at all. He is plainly wrong as is the whole Papist church. When you don’t see the Bible as the word of God then this what you get syncretism, error and blasphemy. Is he the Anti Christ - he sure looks like one?

Thanks James. Yes, it’s each man doing what is right in his own eyes. What could go wrong???
"When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8
Maybe the pope should listen to this young man and take note of his wisdom:

What a situation we are in James when feelings are more important than truth.
Thanks for your work
10/10 James … nailed it! It’s good that you’re not too old to remember the times when truth mattered. I wonder if the Gen XYZ’s do?
You’ve written some fabulous lines in this article, James. Spot-on as usual.

"producing guided missiles and misguided men" Bravo - the best summation I've seen of where we are!
Always was, always will be a remnant.
Great thought James, as always🙌🙌🙌
