"The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit." Psalm 34:18

On May 23, 2015, in Phoenix, AZ during an event he was attending, Pope Francis, through the inspiration of Satan, gave a deceptive message to the world straight from the pit of hell. In this article, we will break down his message, and look at what the Bible says about it.

POPE FRANCIS: "Sisters and brothers, may the peace of Christ be with you. Forgive me for speaking Spanish, but my English is not strong enough to *express* myself."

Before we get too far into his message, I need to state that Francis is not brother of mine. He believes in a false christ:
"During his daily morning Mass, Pope Francis talked about the humanity of Jesus. He encouraged people to see Jesus as a man who still prays for us... [He said,] 'Now He's gone, but He still prays. Some ask, is Jesus a spirit? Jesus is not a spirit! Jesus is a person, a man, with flesh like ours, but full of glory."
-Rome Reports, "Pope's Mass: Jesus Continues to Pray For Us," Oct 28, 2013, retrieved June 22, 2015, [romereports.com/pg154635-pope-s-mass-jesus-continues-to-pray-for-us-en]

That's directly from his own mouth; Francis believes the Lord Jesus Christ (Lord God) is not a spirit:

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
-John 4:23-24

Since these Catholics don't believe Christ is a spirit, that means they don't worship Him in spirit and truth. This makes perfect sense because they have given the name "Mary" to the true goddess they worship.
(Read "Corruptions of Christianity: Catholicism - Idolatry & Mary" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

Those that do not worship God in spirit and truth are not my brothers and sisters. Francis continues:

"I speak in Spanish but, above all, I speak in langauge of the heart."

Not a message from Christ, nor from the Word of God, but a message of deception from his wicked heart.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
-Jeremiah 17:9

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
-Proverbs 28:26

Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
-Hebrews 3:10-12

POPE FRANCIS: "I have the invitation you sent me for this celebration of Christian Unity, this day of reconciliation. And I wish to join you from here. [Reading from the pamphlet:] 'Father, may we be one so that the world may believe you sent me.' This is the slogan, the theme of the meeting: Christ's prayer to the Father for the grace of unity."

This is absolutely false, and completely opposite the message Christ gave in his prayer to God the Father in John 17. Before we continue with the Pope's lies, let's read over John 17 very slowly to make sure we understand it, starting in verse 6:

I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
-John 17:6

This is not talking about wicked pagan religions like Catholicism because they do not keep the Word of God, nor do they base their practices on it. Their faith is built on the pagan traditions of Rome:
"Thus it comes about that the [Catholic] Church does not draw her certainty about all revealed truths from the Holy Scriptures alone. Hence, both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal feelings of devotion and reverence..."
-Austin Flannery, Vatican Council II: The Conciliar and Post Conciliar Documents, 1988, p. 755, ISBN: 9780918344151; See also Jean M. Hiesberger, The Catholic Bible, Personal Study Edition, 2nd Edition, Oxford University Press, 2007, p. 21, ISBN: 9780195289268

But the wicked priests and popes throughout history have done a masterful job in deceiving the world into thinking they are "Christians," and spreading the lie that their practices are somehow based off the Bible. The Lord Jesus Christ's prayer in John 17 is specific meant for the born-again remnant, not the pagan heretics in the Catholic church, and their new-found buddies in the Charismatic church.

Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
-John 17:7-9

The problem here is that the Catholic church has rejected the Word of God, and the salvation of Christ (as we'll see more of in a moment), which means they have not received the words of God. They have replaced the Word of God with pagan traditions which they highly esteem. They are of the world, and Christ did not pray to the Lord God for them; this prayer is only for those born-again in Christ.
(Read "Corruptions of Christianity: Catholicism" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
-John 17:10-11

So we have false converts, deceived by false doctrine in a false system, coming together and thinking they are one in Christ. But we Christians understand that these are wolves appearing to be sheep on the outside:

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
-2 Peter 2:1

The Bible warns us that in the latter days, the deception will be so great that Christ's born-again followers would almost be deceived:

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
-Matthew 24:24

We haven't even gotten to the point where the signs and wonders of miracles are widely known, so the deception will get much worse than it is today, and we Christians should be continually vigilant. We need to be ever-cautious of these wolves who will try to unite themselves with the church of Christ, or at least claim to do so.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
-John 17:12-14

One of the ways we can tell who are truly of Christ is how much the world hates them for teaching the truth of the Word of God. Let's take a look at the Pope's arrival in Brazil, and see how much he is hated of the world:

Judge with your own eyes, as you see millions gathered together in celebration for Pope Francis: Is he loved or hated by the world?

I don't see Pope Francis hated by the world; the world adores and worships him as a god. Over one million people gathered with huge tents and banners to welcome him with gladness in a massive celebration. This the exact opposite of what the Word of God says that Christians should expect in this life:

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
-2 Timothy 2:12

That tells me one thing for sure: Pope Francis is not living godly in Christ Jesus.

Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
-Hebrews 11:25

So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
-2 Thessalonians 1:4

With the almost incalculatable masses of wealth accumlated by the Catholic Church, the Pope is afforded every convenience and comfort possible.
"According to Georgetown University, the average weekly donation of an American Catholic to the church is $10. There are 85 million in North America, meaning each week the Catholic Church pulls in $850m through donations from individual Catholics."
-Shane Croucher, "How Rich is the Vatican? So Wealthy It Can Stumble Across Millions of Euros Just 'Tucked Away'," International Business Times, Dec 5, 2014, retrieved June 24, 2015, [ibtimes.co.uk/how-rich-vatican-so-wealthy-it-can-stumble-across-millions-euros-just-tucked-away-1478219]

The IBT article goes on to talk about how the Catholic Church just finds a few hundred million euroes lying around that they forget about. Keep in mind, the statistic I just quoted was only per week for North America; the Catholic Church is a worldwide corporate empire.

And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
-Luke 18:24

Continuing with Christ's words:

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
-John 17:5-17

We have an article called "Did Christ Come to Bring Peace," in which we demonstrate that Scripture only speaks of unity in the Holy Spirit through the truth of the Word of God among born-again Christians, but concerning the world, and the things of the world, like the evil Pope and the wicked Catholic Church, we are to sanctify ourselves (i.e. set ourselves apart) from their false doctrine. This is what Christ prayed; that we would be set apart from pagan religion like Catholicism, and Christ even said that was reason He sanctified Himself:

As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
-John 17:18-19

The unity the Pope and these false evangelical organizations speak of is a false peace under a false christ. They will seem good, they will seem kind, they will seem giving; all the attributes of what a sheep ought to be in Scripture, but underneath that outer layer, they are wolves.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
-2 Corinthians 11:13-15

POPE FRANCIS: "Today, Saturday May 23, from nine in the morning until five in the afternoon, I will be with you spiritually and with all my heart. We will search together, we will pray together, for the grace of unity. The unity that is budding among us is that unity which begins under the seal of the one Baptism we have all received."

The Pope did not receive the same baptism I received because I was baptized under the Lord Jesus Christ, washed clean once and for all by His blood.

And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
-1 Corinthians 6:11

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
-Revelation 1:5

By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
-Hebrews 10:10

The Catholic church does not believe in being washed clean by the blood of Jesus Christ once for all sins because they take the mass and transubstantiation which is false "miracle" of turning alcohol into the blood of Christ, and having to drink from that cup of abomination repeatedly for the payment of sins. This is called the "Eucharist" in Catholic terminology, which is a direct denial of saving blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and all Catholics are required to believe and participate that abomination.

"The mass is truly a propitiatory [i.e. has to be done over and over again] sacrifice... [by which] the Lord is appeased. He grants grace... and He pardons wrongdoings and sins, even grave ones."
-John A. Hardon, The Catholic Catechism, Random House Inc, 1975, Ritual and Worship, p. 468, ISBN: 9780385080453

These men and women believe they must drink blood to maintain eternal life.

But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
-Acts 15:20

And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
-Revelation 17:4

Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
-1 Corinthians 10:21

"The Eucharist is above all else a sacrifice. It is the sacrifice of the Redemption and also the sacrifice of the New Covenant,"
-Pope John Paul II, quoted by Steven J. Schloder, Architecture in Communion: Impementing the Second Vatican Council, Ignatius Press, 1998, p. 52, ISBN: 9780898706314; Read "Corruptions of Christianity: Catholicism" here at creationliberty.com for more details.

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
-Hebres 7:27

And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
-Hebrews 10:11

So to say that we are all of one Baptism, the only way I could agree with that is if he's referring to false baptisms of false converts that make up the majority of those who claim "Christianity" in the world today. I would agree they're all yoked together under the same umbrella, but they're not united in Christ.

POPE FRANCIS: "It is the unity we are seeking along a common path. It is the spiritual unity of prayer for one another. It is the unity of our common labour on behalf of our brothers and sisters, and all those who believe in the sovereignty of Christ."

It is this deceptive message that attracts new-age heretic televangelist charismatics like Kenneth Copeland, who gets excited when a Catholic Bishop and Pope together tell him that Charismatics and Catholics are all of the same yoke.

BISHOP TONY PALMER @3:23: "I wanted you to understand the connection between KCM (Kenneth Copeland Ministries) and the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, because the Catholic Charismatic Renewal is the hope of the church... " @4:03: "He [Pope Benedict] said, 'You charismatics; you are the hope of the church." @10:39: "I believe God has brought me here... in the spirit of Elijah."

As soon as Palmer said he had come in the spirit of Elijah just like John the Baptist, I feared immediately because I knew he was walking on dangerous ground. Not only did he lie about his description of Elijah, but he also claimed that he was coming to announce the way in which Christ would return, preceding His return, by combing together heretic organizations, in this instance, the Catholic Church and the Charismatic Church.

I learned that a few months after Palmer gave this deceptive false message, he was killed in a traffic collision. The Charismatics and Catholics wanted the police to do an investigation into possible attempted murder (which there was no evidence of) because they believed he was coming in the spirit of Elijah, and they could not possible conceive that Palmer was a false prophet that spoke enough heretical abomination for the Lord God to pass judgment on him. Their corrupt news reports all said "he went to be with the Lord," but my Lord Jesus Christ has already told us what he will say to Palmer, and those who believe in the false messages of the Pope:

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
-Matthew 7:21-23

Let's continue to pray that as many in this false system would be brought to repentance and salvation as quickly as possible. The deception is growing daily, and we all will have to give an account for every idle word we speak on Judgment Day:

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
-Matthew 12:36

It's no surprise that the Pope would yoke himself up with other pagan religions, since a one-world ecumenical church is his ultimate goal:
"Argentine Muslims have welcomed the election of Argentine cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio [Francis] as the head of the Roman Cathoilic Church... 'He always showed himself as a friend of the Islamic community. He visited the At-Tauhid Mosque (located) in the neighborhood of Floresta and the Arab-Argentine Ali Ibn Abi Talib School strengthening our relations', the Director of the House for the Diffusion of Islam Sheik Mohsen Ali said,"
-Buenos Aires Herald, "Pope Francis 'A Friend of the Islamic Community'," Mar 14, 2013, retrieved June 23, 2015, [buenosairesherald.com/article/126369/pope-francis-a-friend-of-the-islamic-community]; Read "Islam: Religion of Terror here at creationliberty.com for more details.

He's visiting Buddhist temples as well, yoking himself with their pagan idolatry, just as all the Roman Pontiffs have done throughout history:
"Pope Francis is legendary as a man of surprise and outreach, and on a Wednesday evening in Sri Lanka he found a way to combine both, making an impromptu visit to a Buddhist temple in the country’s capital city. While there, according to a Vatican spokesman, Francis was shown a room with a statue of the Buddha and two other holy figures in Buddhist tradition. His hosts also showed him a jar containing relics that are only opened occasionally, but which they opened for him. There was also singing, during which the spokesman said the pope 'listened respectfully.'... A Vatican spokesman said that one of the Buddhist authorities who greeted Francis upon his arrival at the airport in Sri Lanka on Tuesday had invited him to drop by, and that Francis 'wanted to demonstrate his friendship and positive attitude' toward Buddhists."

It wasn't just Buddhists he was meeting with:

As you read the rest of Pope Francis's statements, keep in mind his union with the paganism from around the world.

POPE FRANCIS: "Dear brothers and sisters, division is a wound in the body of the Church of Christ. And we do not want this wound to remain open. Division is the work of the Father of lies, the Father of discord, who does everything possible to keep us divided."

You just witnessed Pope Francis call the Lord Jesus Christ the Father of Lies, Father of Discord, and wounder of the Body of Christ. I know I mentioned this earlier, but it's worth bringing up again:

sanctify (v): to cleanse from corruption, purify or make holy; to separate, set apart
(See 'sanctify', American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, 1828, retrieved June 25, 2015 [webstersdictionary1828.com])

We are supposed to be divided from the world, which is why Christ told us:

Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
-Luke 12:51-52

We are divided and separated by the truth of the Word of God:

Sanctify [separate] them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
-John 17:17

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
-2 Timothy 2:21

Those who are united as one in Scripture are those who are divided from the world:

For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
-Hebrews 2:11

It is Satan who looks for worldwide unity.

And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
-Matthew 12:26

The Lord Jesus Christ does not need leaven (false doctrine) and wicked men to make His kingdom stand. It is the Devil that requires these things, and the words of the Pope are the words of the Devil.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
-John 8:44

POPE FRANCIS: "Together today, I here in Rome and you over there, we will ask our Father to send the Spirit of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and to give us the grace to be one, so that the world may believe."

As we already know by reading over John 17, what the Pope just said is a lie. It is those who are sanctified as one that the world may believe, not the world coming together as one, which is what the Pope is pushing for. Taking precept upon precept, Christ does not approve of pagan idolatry, which is the core foundation of the Catholic Church:

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
-1 Corinthians 6:9-11

POPE FRANCIS: "I feel like saying something that may sound controversial, or even heretical, perhaps."

Too late. You've already said plenty of heretical things.

POPE FRANCIS: "But there is someone who 'knows' that, despite our differences, we are one. It is he who is persecuting us. It is he who is persecuting Christians today, he who is anointing us with the blood of martyrdom. He knows that Christians are disciples of Christ: that they are one, that they are brothers."

Keep in mind, the Pope is not a Christian. He is not our brother. He is a Catholic idolater. He is an antichrist.

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
-1 John 2:18

The Pope is a pagan of Rome that falsely teaches under the guise of "Christianity," and the "martyrdom" he speaks of is not the actual martyrs of Christ; it's those who have died for the sake of the Roman "Holy" See, who the Catholic Church deems to be "martyrs." (i.e. Those who were tortured and murdered during over 600 years of the Inquisition are not considered "martyrs" according to the definitions set forth by the Catholic Church.)
(Read "Corruptions of Christianity: Catholicism - The Inquisition" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

POPE FRANCIS: "He doesn't care if they are Evangelicals, Orthodox, Lutherans, Catholics or Apostolic; he doesn't care! They are Christians."

More like Pope Francis doesn't care, because that is the direct opposite of what I read in Scripture. The Lord Jesus Christ does not have a denomination, but we are to judge truth by the standard of the Word of God, which the Pope and his minions openly deny.

If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
-1 Timothy 6:3-4

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
-James 4:6

POPE FRANCIS: " And that blood of martyrdom unites. Today, dear brothers and sisters, we are living an 'ecumenism of blood'. This must encourage us to do what we are doing today: to pray, to dialogue together, to shorten the distance between us, to strengthen our bonds of brotherhood."

And this further proves the point: notice that they are not united in Christ. They are not united in the blood of the Son of God. They are united in their own blood, and it is expected of them to think this way because they are of the world and flesh, thinking that Christ is the same way. (i.e. Remember earlier we quoted this same Pope saying that Christ is not a spirit.)

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
-Ephesians 5:11

POPE FRANCIS: "I am convinced it won't be theologians who bring about unity among us. Theologians help us, the science of the theologians will assist us, but if we hope that theologians will agree with one another, we will reach unity the day after Judgement Day. The Holy Spirit brings about unity. Theologians are helpful but most helpful is the is the good will of us all who are on this journey with our hearts open to the Holy Spirit!"

Again, the Pope does not know Christ or the Holy Spirit. He only speaks of these concepts, because to him, they are a pagan concept like any other -- all religions worshiping the same god, bringing Christ down to the level of idolatry, just as was stated by Pope John Paul II to the Moroccan Muslims:
"We believe in the same God, the one God, the living God, the God who created the world and brings his creatures to their perfection."
-Pope John Paul II, quoted by Miroslav Volf, Do We Worship the Same God?: Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Dialogue, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 2012, p. 133, ISBN: 9780802866899; See also Jeffry Weiss, "Do Christian, Muslims and Jews worship the same God?" CNN, Sept 1, 2013, retrieved June 25, 2015, [religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/09/01/do-christians-muslims-and-jews-worship-the-same-god]
(Read "Did Christ Come to Bring Peace?" here at creationliberty.com for more details; Please also read "False Converts & Eternal Security" to get a full understanding behind the hearts of the men speaking these lies.)

And this is what most Catholics generally believe, as this Catholic theologian states:
"There is only one God... Christians, Jews, and Muslims all worship the very same God... Jews can be saved without converting to Christianity, as long as they love God and love their neighbor as themselves. Muslims can be saved without converting to Christianity, as long as they love God and love their neighbor as themselves."
-Ronald L. Conte Jr., "Pope Francis Prayed in a Mosque; For We All Worship the Same God," Nov 29, 2014, retrieved July 4, 2015, [ronconte.wordpress.com/2014/11/29/pope-francis-prayed-in-a-mosque-for-we-all-worship-the-same-god]

Yet, those in the Catholic cult participate in practices that are strict heresy against Christ:

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
-1 John 2:4-6

Giving mass and transubstantiation which denies the Lord Jesus Christ, offering indulgences as bonus points to work your own way into heaven, uniting all pagan idolaters together under one umbrella -- these are NOT of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. The Pope does NOT keep the Word of God, but to the world, he will appear to be a bringer of peace and good tidings.
(Read "Indulgences: Bonus Points for Heaven here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel [i.e. don't be surprised]; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
-2 Corinthians 11:13-15

Don't be surpised because it is normal operating procedure for Satan to disguise himself and his ministers under a costume of godliness. These men will cloak themselves on the outside in all things that appear to be righteous and good, but their practices, beliefs, and doctrines will show them for what they truly are: ministers of the Devil.

POPE FRANCIS: "In all humility, I join you as just another participant on this day of prayer, friendship, closeness and reflection. In the certainty that we have one Lord: Jesus is the Lord. In the certainty that this Lord is alive: Jesus is alive, the Lord lives in each one of us. In the certainty that He has sent the Spirit He promised us so that this 'harmony' among all His disciples might be realised. Dear brothers and sisters, I greet you warmly, with an embrace. I pray for you. I pray with you. And I ask you, please, to pray for me. Because I need your prayers in order to be faithful to what the Lord wants from my ministry. God bless you. May God bless us all. Thank you."

You can see why he is so appealing to the world, but those of us truly born-again in Christ can see why he's so deceptive. The one Lord they all have is Satan (whom he falsely calls "Christ"), and we should pray for the Pope, that he would be brought low by the Lord Jesus Christ to be humbled to repentance and have his eyes opened if it is not too late.

The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
-Psalm 116:6

And to be brought low before the Day of the Lord comes:

For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
-Isaiah 2:12

The Pope speaks of his desires and his wishes from his own heart, and calls them the spirit of truth, but the Bible says:

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
-John 16:13

Remember that the Pope wants to be the head ruler over of all these pagan religions in the end. You'll notice that he was not quoting Scripture, because it is his own seat he seeks to glorify; lifting up himself without any persecution, and calling it "of Christ."

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
-John 15:20

As you can see, I'm showing some other Scripture from the prior chapters of John that many people skip over, not considering that the Pope himself does not suffer what we are required to suffer as servants of Christ. This means he is not a servant of Christ.

But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
-Luke 21:12

But the Popes of history have NEVER been persecuted by kings and rulers, but rather kings and rulers seek their favor. It's not hard to see what the Pope really is: a heretic of Rome. Pope Francis, no matter how nice and kind he may seem, is sitting in the seat that has tortured and executed countless Christian men and women. Their wicked Catholic Church (i.e "Mother Church") is drunk with the blood of the saints.
(Read "A Woman Rides the Beast" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
-Revelation 17:5-6

Christians, do not be discouraged as things in this world get worse. We will have tribulation from these ecumenical abominations, but our Lord Jesus Christ has already overcome the world.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
-John 16:33

Pray that our collective suffering, persecution, and teaching can open the eyes of as many of the few that can still be saved in this world, and that the world would be protected from the deception of the new-age "John 17" movement.
