According to the new Pope, you can forget repentance, forget even believing there is a God in heaven, for even "atheists who do good are redeemed!"

The point of his message on Wednesday was, "Just do good and we'll find a meeting point." His entire message, however, is contrary to the Word of God, which says,

"For by grace you are saved through faith, nothing of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9.

"The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt; they have done abominable works. There is none who does good" Psalm 14:1.

So, according to the Word of God, atheists are "fools," but not only that, God's Word above says, "There is none who does good." It seems that any amount of good an atheist might do is obliterated by their denial of Almighty God and their inherent evil. I wonder if Pope Francis has read the Word of God?

The Word of God clearly states we are saved by faith, not by doing good works, otherwise the ransom Jesus paid for our sins, His very blood, is counted as nothing.

The Word of God also says,

"What then, shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" Romans 6:15-16.

The Word of God sums it up very well. We are saved by faith, believing that Jesus Christ died for our sins and that we are sinners saved by His grace. We then do not continue in sin, once we are saved, because to continue in sin is to serve satan, not God, who redeemed us from sin. That redemption was given freely, otherwise we undermine the blood of Jesus Christ, who died for us.

This is not surprising. The Pope holds himself out to be the "Vicar of Christ," meaning that he "sits in the place of Christ." The Roman Catholic Church has held that the Pope reigns as God on earth and he has all authority, in place of God (Lucius Ferraris, Prompta Ribliotheca, "Papa," art 2, translated). This is an abomination, because the Word of God says,

"I am the Lord, that is My name, and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images" Isaiah 42:8.

This is another abominable heresy that the Roman Catholic Church teaches, that prayers and adoration can be offered to the saints. Catholics literally bow down to, pray to, and adore statues of saints. This is not Biblical and, in fact, is against God's Holy Word, but what else is new? The Catholic Church went into apostasy a very long time ago.

The latest announcement by the new Pope Francis only adds insult to blasphemy already committed by the Catholic Church many times over.

By forbidding to marry, the Catholic "priests" have molested and atrociously ruined the lives of tens of thousands of young boys throughout the world. It is no secret that they have hidden the evidence and protected the guilty from prosecution in many, many molestation cases. They have become perverted in their imaginations because they are deprived of what God said was good,

"Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor of the Lord" Proverbs 18:22.

In fact, the Lord obviously knew how the Catholic Church would become perverted and go into apostasy, so the Word of God informed us a couple of thousand years ago of the same,

"Now the Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron; FORBIDDING TO MARRY and COMMANDING TO ABSTAIN FROM MEATS, which God created to be received with thanksgiving, for it is sanctified by the Word of God and prayer" 1 Timothy 4:1-5.

If this doesn't perfectly describe the Catholic Church, I have no idea what does. I believe they stopped admonishing "no meat on Fridays" some time ago, but they did restrict it for many years. So, here you have a church which promotes worshiping and praying to idols of saints (forbidden by the Word of God), a church which forbids their priests to marry (condemned by the Word of God), and which taught abstinence from eating meat on Fridays for many years (condemned by the Word of God).

After considering all of this, and much more not even mentioned here, the only thing left for Catholics to do is ask themselves if they prefer adhering to the tenets of the Catholic Church, which has clearly gone into apostasy - as the Word of God foretold us - or would they rather obey the Word of God and come out of the Catholic Church into truth. The Word of God also says,

"After these things, I saw another angel come down from heaven having great power and the earth was lightened with his glory, and he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, 'Babylon the great is fallen and has become the habitation of devils and the hold of every foul spirit and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird; for all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.' And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, 'COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, THAT YOU BE NOT PARTAKERS OF HER SINS AND THAT YOU RECEIVE NOT OF HER PLAGUES; for her sins have reached unto heaven and God has remembered her iniquities...Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, mourning and famine and she shall be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.'...Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple and scarlet and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!...Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her" Revelation 18:1-5,8,16,20.

What a perfect description of the Vatican, "fine linen, purple, scarlet, decked with gold, precious stones and pearls!" Why would God avenge the apostles and prophets by burning the Vatican with fire? Have you not heard of the hideously egregious INQUISITION? Yes, the Roman Catholic Church used to burn poor souls alive for standing up for truth; they were skinned alive, skewered and burned like shish kabobs, tortured and killed in HIDEOUSLY EVIL ways. The world has long forgotten, but God has not!

The Spirit of the Lord, in these last days, is calling those who are innocent, those who have hearts for God, but who have not been aware of the evil to which they partake, to "COME OUT OF HER," come out of the Catholic Church, before it's too late!

Are you prepared to stand before God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth? If not, please visit the How Can I Be Saved page of this website. Your eternal destiny depends on it, and there isn't much time left to make that choice. God bless you.
