No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities.

If Jesus said he is the ONLY WAY to the Father, but the Pope says all religions lead to God, then the Pope is denying the Bible and centuries at least of Christian theology.
The Pope has gone a bit woke in my opinion. Pope Francis just violated John 14:6 by saying this heresy.

That’s a big one to get wrong.

The current Pope is working for a unified religion this is part of the beast system to come soon, He is the head of the Jesuit order, he is also called the black pope. Nothing Good will come of Him, Archbishop Vigano recently excommunicated and in hiding for fear of his life denounced this man, the pope Bergoglio as a fiend who is against GOD, His actions prove this. Can good fruits come from a bush of thorns? certainly Not!

I would not go so far as to say that the Pope is the Anti-Christ because I do not see him as more than he is. There are a lot of people who are mistaken about a lot of things, just like the Pope. Just because the Pope has a wrong view and is in the position he is in does not mean he is the Anti-Christ.

The antichrist/false prophet is not the pope, unless he is Jewish.

Scripture does not say the Anti-Christ is Jewish. We have no idea who he will be except that he will be a figurehead to Christianity as a false prophet.

The antichrist./false prophet is the beast out of the land. The land represents Israel, as the sea (beast from the sea) represents gentiles.

That is perfectly fine if you interpret it that way. But the Bible simply does not say one way or another.

No surprise from a man who recently said that most men have a good heart - a man who worships The IMAGE of "Jesus" - Who apparently died for no reason.

THE Anti-Christ? I dunno. One of many anti--christs to proceed his coming? It's difficult to deny for one reason - we all know who appears as a being of light.

Genuine Children of God aren't fooled in the slightest. The enemy has got to do a better job than that. Living in opulence and sporting a silly pointy hat is a dead giveaway alone.

nope.

Rev 17 - the sea represents "nations and peoples, tongues, tribes" -- dense civilization -- like...Europe.
The land represents by contrast - a very sparsely populated area by comparison.

Rev 17:15 And he *said to me, “The (seas) waters which you saw where the prostitute sits are peoples and multitudes, and nations and languages.

Let's not get into a debate on the most cryptic and mysterious book of the Bible here, shall we?

For a number of reasons, I do not believe that Pope Francis is the Antichrist, just an unusually liberal Pope with some very unique ideas.

I've actually appreciated some of the things that he's done, or hoped to do (on the one hand) while being blown away by many others (for instance, the fact that he chose to be the keynote speaker at the opening event of the 500th anniversary celebration of the Protestant Reformation is never getting old as far as I'm concerned ;)). However, saying things like he just did (or anything else that leads people away from Christ instead of towards Him) are not funny.

Finally, I've found that very little of this Pope's career has been lost on our friends over at Lutheran Satire, and just for levity's sake, the following is but one small example of what I mean (it's called, "Frank, the Hippie Pope"). I'll also include another short video of Catholics watching the video and commenting on it as they do.

Enjoy :) (there always seems to be one final humorous dig on these videos at the very end, following the 20 seconds or so of credits, just FYI)


--David
p.s. - getting back to a more serious note again, the Apostles John and Peter had this very similar thing to say about the Lord Jesus Christ and salvation.

Acts 4
12 There is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.

Anti-Christ represents a system, not an individual person

A beast is a Kingdom or political power. Dan 7:23

The last beast is mixed with clay and iron- so it is a religious and political power.
It would have a man at its head who could speak for it Daniel 7:8
It would make war with and persecute the saints Daniel 7:21, 25
  • Was there a great persecution for what this system called heretics
It would “speak great words against” or blaspheme God Daniel 7:25 KJV. In Revelation 13:5, the Bible says the same power speaks “great things and blasphemies.”
  • Claiming to forgive sins Luke 5:21
  • Claiming to be God John 10:33 Is there a man who is part of a system who claims to be Christ on earth
It would change times and law” Daniel 7:25-
  • Is there a system who claims they changed God's commandment that deals with time?
Arrayed in purple and scarlet Rev 17:4
Sits on 7 hills Rev 17:9

There is only 1 system who fits all of these things and the timeline in Daniel/Revelation. It’s not the people but a system. God has good loving Christians in all religions but tells us to come our of our false teachings Rev 18:4

Unified religion means compromise and we can never compromise God's Truth

Jesus is Truth John 14:6
God's Word is Truth John 17:17
All His commandments are Truth Psa 119:151

His Truth sets us free John 8:32

A pope ( not necessarily this one) as the tribulation has not started yet. Could be appointed by the man of sin (beast from the sea) as the world religious leader during the tribulation. But this world religious will be focused on worshiping the god of the man of sin, who will be satan.

Since Rome is the great harlot (the woman) in Revelation 17.
