Not catholic but dude has been a good pope
I’m not catholic either, because catholic doctrine is actually fake and unbiblical. It preaches devotion and submission to the pope, forces Catholics to practice endless and sterile rituals, the sacrilegious and unnecessary idolatry of the Virgin Mary and saints and instead preaches a self-righteous works based gospel while the Bible preaches a faith through grace gospel (John 3.16 )King James Bible and is against idolatry of any false god out there except the holy trinity of the Godhead ( GOD THE FATHER, HIS SON THE LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT)
Catholic religion is nothing more pure organized religiosity. It’s Not better than Islam, another fake religion with a false god.
critique of religion is necessary . I am always reminding folks that I do not attack people, but rather FALSE religion and damnable heresies, because they send people to Hell. I attack the things that hurt or pose a threat to others. If something is dangerous to others, it takes a good man to take a stand and warn others about it. False religion is a dangerous thing, because it leads people into the Lake of Fire by offering them a false hope. The man who believes nothing is better off than the man who believes wrongly, because the man who believes nothing is still searching (and has hope). A demon's favorite activity is to make religious people feel “safe” in their false religion, so they'll feel comfortable and die in their sins without Christ, and go to Hell.
Religion is man trying to fit us with glasses to see things from their perspective; but the Lord wants to open our eyes with the truth. The religions of the world says,
DO and LIVE; but Bible Christianity says,
LIVE and DO. That is, in Christianity you become born-again by putting your faith in the Gospel, and then the indwelling Holy Spirit comes inside to live forever! We do good works because we ARE SAVED, not to BE SAVED. There's two types of religions: DO and DONE. The false religions of the world tell people to do that, do that, and do all this, and stop that, et cetera. Well, the Bible teaches that it is already DONE, because Jesus paid our sin debt on the cross with His precious shed blood (
1st Peter 1:18-19; 1st John 1:7; Revelation 1:5 - All references only to trustworthy
King James Bible).
You won’t go to heaven on your own merits. You won’t enter heaven because of your good works. You will only be admitted in Heaven if you repent(change your mind about sin and hell) admit to God your guilt as a sinner, recognize your a born sinner with a naturally inherited sinful nature from Adam and come to Jesus for salvation. Because only Jesus saves sinners from hell. The road to God and heaven only goes through Jesus Christ. Sin is in our blood, in our eyes, in our genes, in our hearts, in our words, in our actions, on our minds, in our souls, and on our hands. Adam sinned so we all sinned. Adam anloowed sin to enter in the world and we, his natural descendants are still suffering as a result.
that’s why we can’t rehabilitate ourselves , it’s impossible for us to change our sinful nature even with our best intentions and efforts. But we can be born again and be regenerated by the salvaging and redeeming word of God and the Holy Spirit. The born again saved believers are born twice- naturally and spiritually. Out of the womb and out of the word of God. That’s why we say that we’re born-again. But born again believers will only suffer natural death but ascend to heaven right after that. The unsaved unbelievers who are hell bound are born once ( natural birth) but will die twice (naturally and spiritually ) because eternal hell is the spiritual death.
The son of God and our savior Jesus Christ paid the sin debt of every human being with his pure, sinless and unsullied blood. He made that sacrifice for us by being crucified on the cross, then he died, was buried and three days later was resurrected by God the father for our justification.nAs soon as you trust the Lord Jesus and put your faith in his endless grace all your sins ( past, present and future) will be imputed to him and his righteousness will be imputed you. This is the Greatest trade of all time.
Romans 6.23-For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:17
King James Version
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
