Now, the part of the chapter that I want to focus on is beginning there in verse 22, where
the Bible reads,
Even the righteousness of God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all, and upon all
them that believe, for there is no difference, for all have sinned and come short of the
glory of God, being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus.
Now, this week, Pope Francis is visiting the United States, and I think that Pope Francis
is the greatest false prophet on the earth at this time.
As far as the most people listen to him, look to him, he has over a billion people following
him, worshipping him, literally.
And so the title of the sermon this morning is Pope Francis and His Lies.
So I'm going to start out here with a quote from Saint, not Saint Francis, good night.
Pope Francis, because I've got a list of quotes from him, and I just want to show you how
this man is a false prophet and what he teaches is directly contrary to the Bible.
And you say, well, I'm offended by the sermon.
Well, here's the thing, though, the word of God is the final authority, okay?
So if he is preaching lies in the face of the word of God, which is the truth, then
the truth needs to be preached and he needs to be pointed out as the false prophet and
liar that he is.
Now first of all, here's a quote from Pope Francis.
He said this, the Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us with the blood of Christ, all
of us, not just Catholics, everyone, but Father, the atheists, even the atheists, everyone.
So according to Pope Francis, everyone is redeemed by the blood of Christ, even an atheist.
You don't even have to believe in God, you don't even have to believe in Jesus, according
to Pope Francis, in order to be redeemed.
Now first of all, the fact that he's even calling himself Father right there is blasphemy
in and of itself.
Even the name the Pope is blasphemy.
The Pope is just another language for the Father.
And the Bible says, call no man your Father upon the earth, for one is your Father which
is in heaven.
The Bible says in Matthew 23 that we are not to be called Father, Master, or Rabbi.
These are terms that are off limits for a religious leader.
We should be called Pastor, Teacher, Bishop, Elder, but never Father, never Rabbi, never
Master.
Those names are over the top.
But look down at the Bible and let's see if Saint, or, good night, why do I keep calling
that?
Let's see if, you know why?
I'll tell you why.
There's this really good restaurant called Saint Francis and I eat there all, I love
it.
So, maybe I'm just hungry.
But anyway, look what the Bible says in Romans 3.22, even the righteousness of God which
is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe, for there is no difference.
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, being justified freely by his
grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
Now according to Pope Francis, this redemption is for everybody, even people who don't even
believe.
Yes, they're redeemed by the blood of Christ, but keep reading.
It says at the end of verse 24, the redemption that is in Christ Jesus whom God had set forth
to be a propitiation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousness for the
remission of sins that are passed through the forbearance of God to declare, I say at
this time, his righteousness that he might be just and the justifier of him which believeth
in Jesus.
You see, he's only the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus.
The redemption is through faith in his blood.
It's not just a redemption where it doesn't matter what you believe, everybody's going
to go to heaven.
No, the Bible says neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name
under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.
The name of Jesus, he said, I'm the way, the truth and the life.
No man cometh unto the father but by me.
But Pope Francis just gets up and says, hey, we're all redeemed, we're all saved, even
atheists are saved.
Here's another quote along the same lines from Pope Francis, since many of you do not
belong to the Catholic Church and others are non-believers, so he's talking about people
who don't believe whatsoever, non-believers from the bottom of my heart, I give this silent
blessing to each and every one of you, respecting the conscience of each one of you but knowing
that each one of you is a child of God.
He's basically just saying everybody's a child of God.
Listen to this quote, the son of God became incarnate in the souls of men to instill the
feeling of brotherhood.
I thought that the father sent the son to be the savior of the world but apparently
he was sent just to instill the feeling of brotherhood.
He said all are brothers and all are children of God.
That is not what the Bible teaches.
Now if you would, flip over to John chapter 1, just a few pages left in your Bible, John
chapter 1, and let's see what the Bible says in light of this.
So Francis's message is, hey, everybody's saved, everybody's redeemed, we're all children
of God, we're all brothers and sisters in Christ.
But what does the Bible say?
Well in Galatians 3, 26 it says, for ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ
Jesus.
What makes us a child of God is our faith in Jesus.
And then the Bible says in John 1, 12, but as many as received him, to them gave ye power
to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.
Look, you become a son of God, meaning you weren't one before.
But when you believe on the name of Jesus, you become a son of God.
It's only those who are saved who are children of God, according to the Bible.
It's not that we're all just children of God.
Now also, the thing that keeps coming up in these scriptures that we're looking at is
the fact that salvation's by believing.
This is another thing that the Roman Catholic Church does not teach.
This is another thing that the Pope will not stand for, because they teach that you have
to do works in order to be saved.
You have to believe, but also you have to do works.
And then Francis, he just eliminates the believe part altogether, and says, well, just do works,
and you'll be fine.
Just do good.
Listen to this along the same lines.
He said, proselytism is solemn nonsense.
It makes no sense.
We need to get to know each other, listen to each other, and improve our knowledge of
the world around us.
Now just to explain to you what the word proselyte means, it's a word that's used four times
in the Bible.
And the word proselyte simply means a person who converts from one religion to another.
That's called a proselyte, when you switch religions.
So he's saying proselytism is nonsense.
He's saying trying to get people to convert to Christianity is nonsense, according to
Francis.
Because remember, we're all redeemed.
He says instead, instead of going out trying to get people to convert to Christianity,
he says instead we need to get to know each other, listen to each other, and improve our
knowledge of the world around us.
Is that what the Bible says?
Improve your knowledge of the world.
Listen to other religions.
Get to know other religions.
No, the Bible says can a clean thing come out of an unclean?
Not one.
The Bible says go ye therefore into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
He says some save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted
by the flesh.
That's converting people.
He's saying preach unto them that there's no salvation in any other, that they need
to be saved through the blood of Jesus.
He said pull them out of the fire, compel them to be saved, the Bible says.
But yet Francis says, well, that's just nonsense.
We just need to learn about the Hindus.
We just need to learn how to gain what we can from Islam, and we just need to learn
from the Jews, and just get to know each other.
Don't try to convert them.
No, we ought to try to convert them.
And listen, if we don't try to convert them, it shows that we don't love them.
Because we know that the Bible says that he that believeth on the sun hath everlasting
life, but he that believeth not the sun shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth
on him.
If we know that God's wrath is abiding on someone, if we know that hell is their eternal
destiny, if we know that the Bible says that they all might be damned who believe not the
truth but have pleasure and unrighteousness, what kind of a person would we be if we wouldn't
warn them?
The Bible says that we should warn all men in Colossians chapter 1.
And if we knew that someone were in grave danger, we would warn them.
If the house is on fire, you warn them.
If they're about to drink poison, you warn them.
You don't just stand by and let it happen and say, well, I'm just going to get to know
you as you burn in a house fire.
I just want to learn more about you as you go sailing off the cliff in your vehicle.
That doesn't make any sense, does it?
But it does make sense to somebody who just doesn't believe the Bible, and just doesn't
believe that salvation is through Jesus at all.
So he says, ah, we're all redeemed, let's just get to know each other.
It's false.
Listen to this quote from Pope Francis.
Each of us has a vision of good and of evil.
We have to encourage people to move toward what they think is good.
Everyone has his own idea of good and evil, and must choose to follow the good and fight
the evil as he conceives them.
That would be enough to make the world a better place.
He's saying we all have our own ideas of good and evil that are all different from one another,
and all we have to do is just do what we think is good.
Look, this is what Pope Francis said.
I'm not making this stuff up.
Go fact check this, and if you're going to sit there and say, well, I can't believe you're
getting on Catholicism.
Here's the thing about Catholicism.
You can't be a Catholic without acknowledging Pope Francis as the representative of God
on earth.
That's what Catholicism is all about.
And if I were to take you this afternoon to a Catholic bookstore, we would walk in there
and there would just be pictures everywhere of Pope Francis.
Pictures everywhere of previous Popes.
Pictures everywhere of Mary and so forth.
But the Pope would be everywhere.
This is part of the religion, is you're following this guy.
This guy is your pastor.
This guy is your leader, according to Catholicism.
He says, well, everybody has their own ideas about what's good, and as long as they just
do what they think is good, that's enough.
What about the absolute right and wrong that God has set forth in the Bible?
Now listen to some scriptures from the Bible along these lines of the book of Proverbs.
You don't have to turn there.
If you would, flip over to 1 Corinthians 5.
I'm going to read for you from the book of Proverbs.
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
So just following what you think is good, the Bible says the end thereof is the way
of death, if you just go with what seems right.
No, you've got to go with what the Bible says is right.
Listen to this, Proverbs 3, 7.
Be not wise in thine own eyes.
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
Proverbs 12, 15.
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes.
But he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
So a fool always thinks that he's right, the Bible says.
Francis says, hey, just go with it.
Then we would be living a life of foolishness.
And the Bible says in Proverbs 16, 2, all the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes,
but the Lord with the Spirit.
Look, everybody thinks that what they do is right.
That's why they're doing it.
If they didn't think it was right, they wouldn't be doing it.
I mean, people like to justify their own actions.
And so Pope Francis says, hey, as long as you think it's right, just do it.
Just go with it.
That's all you need to do.
Proverbs 21, 2.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord pondereth the hearts.
Proverbs 30, verse 12.
There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes and yet is not washed from their
filthiness.
It says even the filthiest of generations think that they're pure in their own eyes.
Isaiah 5, 21, woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes and prudent in their own
sight.
No, we can't trust ourselves to decide what's right and wrong.
We go with the Word of God to tell us what is right and what is wrong.
The Bible says, who so trusteth in his own heart is a fool.
The Bible says the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.
Who can know it?
So along those same lines, here's another quote from Pope Francis.
If someone's gay, and I don't use that word, but he does.
If someone's gay, and he doesn't mean like if they're happy and cheerful and friendly
and nice to be around either.
Yeah, if they're a sodomite.
If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?
We shouldn't marginalize people for this.
They must be integrated into society.
Now let's look at what the Bible says because he says, who am I to judge?
He's like, whoa, who am I to judge somebody who's a homo?
Well look at 1 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 1 because this is about fornication and being
a homo is the worst kind of fornication.
It's even a worse fornication.
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 5, 1, it is reported commonly that there is fornication
among you and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles that one
should have his father's wife.
And ye are puffed up and have not rather mourned that he that had done this deed might be taken
away from among you.
For I verily as absent in body but present in spirit have decided, who am I to judge?
Is that what it says?
No, he says, I verily as absent in body but present in spirit have judged already as though
I were present concerning him that hath so done this deed.
So if someone is in major sin to the tune of fornication, to the tune of sodomy, to
the tune of adultery, should we just say, well, who am I to judge?
No, he said, I've judged already.
I wasn't even there.
Why?
Because God's word is absolute on these things.
Now just flip one page to the right, 1 Corinthians 6, in case you have any doubt about whether
or not it's right for us to judge.
And this has become the mantra of the atheists today.
The mantra of the left wing today is just this judge not.
They take it out of context.
They don't get Christ's full teaching.
Look at 1 Corinthians 6, 2.
Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world, Pope Francis?
And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters
know ye not that we shall judge angels?
How much more things that pertain to this life, if then ye have judgments of things
pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
I speak to your shame.
Is it so that there is not a wise man among you?
No, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren.
But he's just saying, oh, well, who am I to judge?
Well, the Bible says that even the least esteemed person in the church is qualified to judge
matters of this life, and that we're going to judge angels, and the saints are going
to judge the world.
So this idea of, well, who am I to judge doesn't make any sense.
Jesus said in John 7, 24, judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
So we are to judge, but we're to judge righteous judgment.
Here's another quote from him along the same line.
He said, a person once asked me in a provocative manner if I approved of homosexuality.
I replied with another question, tell me, when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse
the existence of this person with love or reject and condemn this person?
We must always consider the person.
Now here's the thing about Pope Francis' statement here.
First of all, he says, you know, well, when God looks at them, does he reject or condemn
them?
First of all, the very term reprobate literally means reject.
And Romans 1, which is all about this issue, uses that word reprobate.
So yes, he does reject them.
And then he said, well, would he condemn them?
Well, what does the Bible say?
Flip over to Jude, second to last book in the New Testament is Jude.
While you're turning there, I'll read for you from Leviticus 20, 13.
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed
an abomination.
They shall surely be put to death.
Their blood shall be upon them.
Notice it doesn't say they shall surely be integrated into society, which is what he
said, right?
He says they shall surely be put to death.
Their blood should be upon them.
Listen to, he said, well, that's Old Testament.
Okay, let's go to the New Testament.
Jude verse seven, even as Sodom and Gomorrah, which by the way, Sodom and Gomorrah is an
Old Testament story.
Very early in the Bible, Genesis 19, 19th chapter in the whole Bible, even as Sodom
and Gomorrah and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication
and going after strange flesh, queer flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the
vengeance of eternal fire.
Notice he says that story of Sodom and Gomorrah is present tense today, an example.
So thousands of years after Sodom and Gomorrah, Jude is preaching and saying, Sodom and Gomorrah
is our example today of those that should afterward live ungodly.
He says they are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh.
Now is this Francis's attitude?
Is he saying, well, these filthy people, but who am I to judge?
That's not what he said.
He's just like, oh man, we don't want to condemn.
We don't want to reject.
Who am I to judge?
I mean, let's integrate them.
Let's just bring them in.
He says, likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion and speak
evil of dignity.
Flip a few pages to the left in your Bible towards 2 Peter 2.
Just a couple pages to the left, 2 Peter chapter 2.
The Bible says in verse 6, and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned
them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly,
and delivered just lot vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked.
For that righteous man dwelling among them in seeing and hearing vexed his righteous
soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds, the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly
out of temptations and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.
God describes them as filthy.
God is ready to judge them.
God is bringing up Sodom and Gomorrah as an example, saying don't think that I have changed
on this.
I feel the same about it today as I felt about it when I poured fire and brimstone on Sodom
and Gomorrah.
That's an example.
See, he doesn't have to do that to every San Francisco that's out there.
He's just saying I did it once as an example.
And it's the eternal fire that they ought to worry about, because you know, fire that
comes down from the sky and burned up Sodom and Gomorrah, that's temporal.
But the eternal fire is hell.
And Francis is way off base with this, but what's he doing?
Being popular.
This is what people want to hear today.
They don't want to hear Sodomy condemned.
They don't want to hear the homos reviled.
They want it to be accepted and loved.
I mean, it's a popular message when you say everybody's saved.
Everybody's redeemed.
Everybody's going to heaven.
Let's not judge anyone.
Here's another quote from Pope Francis.
He said this, a church without women would be like the apostolic college without Mary.
But listen to this.
The Madonna is more important than the apostles.
Okay, so according to the Pope, the Madonna, which is the Virgin Mary, right?
The Madonna is more important than the apostles.
Well, let's see if that matches up with scripture, because let's face it, one of the major features
of Catholicism is the worship of Mary.
You don't believe me?
Let's get in the car and let's drive less than two miles and we will enter the city
of Guadalupe.
And when we enter the city of Guadalupe, and I know, because I personally have pretty much
knocked every single door in Guadalupe.
Our church has knocked the doors in Guadalupe about six times, and so since I was a part
of all six of those times, knocking every single door in Guadalupe, I've probably personally
knocked most of the doors in Guadalupe myself, okay?
And I've definitely walked up and down every single street in Guadalupe, even if I didn't
knock every door, I walked up and down every single street.
And almost every single house has an idol unto Mary in the front lawn.
They have a little shrine, they have a little altar, everywhere imagery of Mary.
It's called Mariolatry, you know, idolatry around Mary.
They worship Mary.
You drive down to Mexico, you see the same thing.
Drive even just on the roads, you're just driving down the highway, not in the middle
of nowhere, just a Mary shrine here, Mary shrine there, Mary shrine here, everywhere.
It's extremely common.
If we walked in again to the Catholic bookstore, there would be just a multitude of pictures
of Mary.
They pray to Mary, they worship Mary, they have images of Mary, they put a big emphasis
on Mary.
When people think of Catholicism, they think of Mary.
That's one of the biggest things that distinguishes Catholicism from evangelical Christianity
or from being Baptist or any other just normal Bible-believing Christian.
The thing that distinguishes the Catholic from the Christian is Mary worship.
I mean, that's probably the big one.
Well, according to the Pope, the Madonna, Mary is more important than the apostles.
Well, let's think about this for a second.
How many times is Mary mentioned in the Bible?
If we look up how many times Mary is mentioned by name in the Bible, it's 19 times.
19 times in this book.
Okay, let's compare that with some other Bible characters.
The Lord is mentioned 8,000 times.
David, King David, David and Goliath, okay, 1,139 times.
So Mary, 19.
David, 1,139.
Okay, Jesus is mentioned over 900 times.
Mary, 19.
Okay.
Moses is mentioned 848 times.
Mary, 19.
Aaron, I mean, and Aaron wasn't really the coolest Bible character ever.
Aaron himself is mentioned 350 times.
Jacob is mentioned 377 times.
Abraham is mentioned 250 times.
Listen, the Old Testament, King Saul.
King Saul is mentioned almost 400 times.
Mary, 19.
Okay.
But this is the big emphasis for them.
I mean, this is their whole, you know what that tells me?
Their religion is not based on this book at all.
Even the Quran mentions Mary more than the Bible.
The Quran mentions Mary 35 times or 34 times.
I mean, the Bible only mentions Mary 19 times in the whole Bible.
Why?
Because she's not emphasized.
In fact, someone even came up to Jesus and a woman cried out in the crowd and she said,
blessed is the womb that bear thee and blessed are the paps which thou has sucked.
And he said, yea rather blessed is he that heareth the word of God and doeth it.
You'll be more blessed than Mary, he said, if you just hear the word of God and do it.
What about when Jesus is preaching in Matthew chapter 12 and his mother and his brethren
stand without desiring to meet with them and he says, who is my mother and who are my brethren?
And he stretched out his hand toward his disciples and said, behold my mother and my brethren
for whosoever shall do the will of my father which is heaven, he said, the same is my brother
and sister and mother.
But yet they're lifting up Mary as literally a goddess, as literally being someone that
they pray to, worship, greatly emphasize, huge emphasis.
And yet Caleb is mentioned 36 times.
Even Caleb.
Joshua is mentioned 216 times.
Samson is mentioned 39 times.
Hezekiah is mentioned 128 times.
Mary 19.
The Apostle Paul is mentioned over 180 times because remember the Pope said, hey the Madonna
is more important than the Apostles.
Okay well then why is the Apostle Paul mentioned over 180 times?
In addition to writing 13 of the 27 books of the, or 14 of the 27 books of the New Testament.
If she's more important.
Well what about Peter?
Well he's mentioned 162 times.
Mary's mentioned 19 times.
Other Marys.
You know there are other Marys in the Bible like for example Mary and Martha, Mary Magdalene.
The other Marys, because there's about 4 or 5 other Marys, they're mentioned 35 times.
Other Marys.
So most of the time when Mary's mentioned it's not even that Mary.
It's other Marys that are being mentioned.
More than the Madonna so called.
Okay you say well you know the Bible just doesn't talk a lot about women.
Okay well Sarah is mentioned 59 times.
There's a woman in the Bible who's mentioned more than 3 times as many times as the Virgin
Mary.
What about Esther?
Mentioned 56 times.
Look even Jezebel is mentioned 22 times.
And King Saul's daughter, King Saul's daughter Michal, which virtually no one unless they've
read the whole Bible or been in church their whole life has ever even heard of, King Saul's
daughter Michal is mentioned 18 times.
One more mention and she would have tied the Virgin Mary.
And so it's clear that the Bible does not put this huge emphasis on Mary.
It says how can you ignore this?
And that even amongst some of the mentions of Mary, some of them are Jesus telling people
whoa you're putting her on too high of a pedestal.
You know what about when Jesus looked at Mary and said woman what have I to do with thee?
I'm just saying you know but to sit there and put her as the mother of God it's false
because of the fact that Jesus Christ existed before his incarnation, before he became flesh.
The Bible says in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was
God.
And in the beginning with God all things were made by him and without him was not anything
made that was made.
And it says and the word became flesh and dwelled among us and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth.
Hebrews 7 says of Jesus without father, without mother, without descent having neither beginning
of days nor end of life but made like unto the son of God abideth the priest continually.
So there are two aspects to the Lord Jesus Christ.
He was human but he was also God in the flesh.
Well here's the thing Mary was only his mother humanly speaking just of the flesh.
That's why even when they called Jesus the son of David because he was of David according
to the flesh he even said well if David calls him Lord how is he then his son?
Because what he's showing there is that wait a minute I'm God in the flesh so I'm above
David.
I'm above Abraham.
I'm above Mary okay.
That's why Mary called the Lord her savior.
She needed a savior.
She wasn't perfect.
She was a great woman but she does not deserve to be worshiped as a goddess or anything else.
But is it from the Bible?
No the Bible barely even mentions her.
Very very minor character.
We can list many many other people scores of other characters that are mentioned more
times way more times hundreds more times.
Okay look if you would at Jeremiah chapter 7 you say where is this where is this Mary
worship coming from?
Well I'll tell you where it comes from.
It comes from Eastern false religion.
Eastern false religion you see if we were to go to India they have been worshiping the
great mother the great goddess for thousands of years even thousands of years before Jesus
Christ.
You know when they're not worshiping the golden calf and when they're not worshiping Satan
when they're not worshiping serpents and you know all their different false gods of Hinduism
you know in southern India they have been worshiping the great mother.
In fact they have even performed human sacrifices under this false female deity.
This is something that is part of Eastern religion going back thousands of years in
India this is where it comes from it comes from the devil and the Bible talks about it
because of the fact that in Jeremiah some of the children of Israel had gotten mixed
up in some of these false religions from the East.
Now the thing about this is that in this passage she's referred to as the queen of heaven that
they're worshiping and even today Catholics will refer to Mary as the queen of heaven
literally and in fact I even saw a cemetery in Phoenix that said queen of heaven cemetery
and I've seen another queen of heaven Catholic Church naming the church after it.
Look at Jeremiah chapter 7 it says in verse 18 the children gather wood and the fathers
kindle the fire and the women knead their dough to make cakes to the queen of heaven
and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods that they may provoke me to anger.
Now does this sound familiar?
You're basically making a cake and a drink and worshiping the queen of heaven?
See there's nothing new under the sun.
Go to Jeremiah 44 and you know if you were here a few months ago you remember the sermon
I did a few months ago where I showed that Buddhism and Catholicism have the same false
teachings and that Catholicism basically all the weird stuff that's in Catholicism and
you wonder where it came from?
It came from Buddhism because Buddhism is from 500 BC approximately so that's where
they get the nuns, the monks, did you ever wonder why there's the Buddhist monks and
the Catholic monks and the Buddhist nuns and the Catholic nuns and the Buddhist monastery
and the Catholic monastery and the Buddhist have and I'm not going to re-preach that sermon
but I went through and showed all the things that they've just imported from Eastern false
religion but look what the Bible says in Jeremiah chapter 44 verse 15 then all the men which
knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods and all the women that stood by
a great multitude even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt in Pathros answered
Jeremiah saying as for the word that thou has spoken unto us in the name of the Lord
we will not hearken unto thee but we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth
out of our own mouth now that reminds me of what Francis said right just do what you think
is right do what you think is good to burn incense unto the queen of heaven now that's
another thing that the Catholics like to do don't they burn incense unto the queen of
heaven and to pour out drink offerings unto her as we have done we and our fathers our
kings and our princes in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem for then had
we plenty of vittles and were well and saw no evil but since we left off to burn incense
to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offerings unto her we have wanted all things
and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine and when we burned incense to the
queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings unto her did we make her cakes to worship
her and pour out drink offerings unto her without our men so they're saying the men
were doing it too and this I don't understand why this wouldn't go against the grain for
men to bow down and worship a woman you say oh you're so misogynistic oh you chauvinist
sexist pig but here's the thing though you know we as men are wired by God not to be
ruled over by women that's why the Bible says the husband is the head of the wife as
Christ is the head of the church okay we as men have a desire to lead a woman and not
to be led by a woman and women naturally have a desire to follow their husband not to rule
over their husband now our society has tried to engineer that differently through the brainwashing
campaigns in school and TV and media to try to get women to think that they really want
to be powerful and bossy but actually it makes women miserable to be in that role that they
don't belong in and they're much happier when they get in their proper role you know with
a strong man leading them and men are not naturally inclined to want to be in submission
unto a woman okay so it's just kind of strange a whole religion that's based upon a worshipping
a woman it goes against the grain for a man who understands the man's role in the family
the man's I mean understands that in a home dad's the boss then in a marriage the husband
is the boss but to have this attitude where we're worshipping a woman in heaven and that
she's gonna somehow you know tell Jesus how things are gonna be and we go to her to intercede
and she intercedes with us to Jesus and she's even known as the mediatrix basically a feminine
version of the mediator and the Bible says there's one mediator between God and man the
man Christ Jesus and the priest is not a mediator the Pope is not a mediator Mary is not a mediator
no there's one mediator between God and man the man Christ Jesus that is the only mediator
no man cometh unto the father but by him the Bible says that we boldly come before
the throne of grace and find mercy and obtain help in time of need through our high priest
Jesus Christ not through the confessional booth not through you know all these prayers
to Saints and prayers to Mary and all these different people it's false so here's the
good news though okay in conclusion those are all the quotes that I have from Pope Francis
you can see that he's a liar you can see that he's a false prophet he's wrong on salvation
he's wrong on morality you know he's wrong on so many things and yet people are looking
to him today as being a representative of God on this earth people today are crying
they're trying to literally touch the hem of his garment they're hoping that the shadow
of him might pass over them they want to just touch that foot or kiss that big toe and never
wash that mouth again and you know what people think it's a joke but literally kissing the
Pope's big toe is a Catholic tradition for hundreds and basically it used to be that
they would come and kiss his hand which is already you know humiliating yourself when
you bow down and kiss a man's hand but then they changed it to kissing his foot I forget
which Pope it changed but there's a certain historical Pope that said you know what from
now on you're gonna kiss my foot and they kiss his toe and then there's even a statue
where they've kissed the toe so much that the toe is worn away from all the mouths wearing
away this is not a joke this is real you know if I ever had a chance to kiss the Pope's
big toe I'd fight it off but anyway here's the conclusion though here's the good news
all right the good news is that Catholics are some of the easiest people to get saved
you know the good you say oh man you hate Catholics you're anti Catholic I don't hate
Catholics at all you know what if I hated Catholics I would just tell them hey you're
all saved you guys are you guys are just like it you're going to heaven that would be hate
because then it'd just be like see ya as they go off into hell no the truth is that Catholics
are some of the easiest people to get saved you know when I go out soul winning and I
get into a Catholic area that's usually an area where you're going to get people say
why because most people are Catholics only out of ignorance they're born into it they're
sprinkled into it as a baby and they just don't know any better it's not even that they're
just choosing to follow a lie it's that they're just raised with it they don't know any better
and usually if you can show a Catholic the gospel from the Bible they're very likely
to be saved in fact if I were to choose between talking to a Jew a Muslim a Catholic a Pentecostal
or you know a Mormon a Jehovah's Witness you know an atheist a Buddhist a Hindu the one
that would probably be the most likely to get saved is the Catholic Baptist churches
today across America are filled with ex Catholics filled with them in fact right now let me
ask who here used to be Catholic put up your hand look around the building this is how
many people used to be Catholic so the great news is that the 1 billion Catholics of this
world are white unto harvest they're ready to be saved we need to get out there and knock
doors and say well why'd you knock the doors in Guadalupe five six times that's why because
it's a receptive area because it's an area where you're now of course you're gonna run
into the rare dyed in the wool Catholic who actually knows what they believe and is really
strong on the doctrines of the church and so forth but the vast majority of Catholics
you know it and I know it they show up to church about three times a year just when
somebody's getting baptized or getting married or something like that and they're not really
that into it and they're usually pretty open to hearing what the Bible says about the gospel
and if you do a thorough job and show them the scriptures and make sure that they know
that it's by faith and not works and make sure that they know hey this is what and what
I do is first I go through the whole plan of salvation with them I don't just come out
right away and say well you know Francis and start going after them you know because then
they're just gonna shut the door what I usually do is I start out by just going through the
whole plan of salvation like I normally would just ask them if they know for sure they're
going to heaven can I show you and I go through the whole thing and I show them it's by faith
that it's not by works I show them that it's eternal and then when I get down to the very
end though because sometimes Catholics could have a tendency to just politely listen to
you and then they'll just they'll just repeat a prayer with you because they're so used
to chanting stuff but that doesn't mean that they're saved because it's our faith that
saves us not just saying words that we don't mean so therefore I always get to the end
after I give them the gospel and I say this I say well listen you said you mentioned you
were Catholic the Catholic Church teaches something different than what I've been showing
you for the past 10 minutes they actually teach that you do have to do works that you
have to perform the sacraments go to church do good deeds in order to get to heaven whereas
the Bible is saying that it's just all by our faith in Jesus it's not of works thus
any man should boast now which one do you believe that way I'm bringing them to a point
where they have to make a decision not just well let me just tag this on to the other
thousands of prayers I prayed but they actually understand no no no I'm going to stop believing
it the wrong way and I'm going to start believing it the right way and I'm going to ask Jesus
to be my savior putting all my faith in him not ask him to be my savior but really I'm
doing the work and I'm doing it through the church and I'm doing it through Mary and everything
else and usually when I get to that point if I ask that question which one do you believe
you'll get one of two answers you'll get the people that say well I believe what the Bible
says that it's all by faith you know then that person has got it then you pray with
them and they call upon the name of the Lord and it's a done deal but a lot of times I'll
get to that point I'll ask that question and they'll say well you know I still believe
what the Catholic Church teaches and then at that point it's just all right well you
know think about what I showed you have a good day move on you know they're not ready
to accept the truth they've heard it they've understood it but they're just going to stick
with tradition they're going to stick with what they've been handed down now the big
word that comes to mind with Catholicism is tradition and Catholics that are really
serious Catholics which I said are kind of rare really but when you run into these really
serious Catholics that really are versed in it they'll tell you that you don't have the
right to interpret the Bible on your own the church needs to interpret it for you and so
forth well one time I was on this airplane and I was talking to a guy that was one of
these really serious Catholics and we spent hours talking because we're on the plane we're
sitting by each other there's nothing else to do captive audience you know so we spent
hours talking and this guy was a really serious Catholic and he's telling me the church is
what interprets it for you you can't interpret on your own and this and that but he was part
of a branch of Catholicism that was a more fundamentalist branch so basically they accept
everything up until Vatican II now Vatican II was a major overhaul of the Catholic Church
that took place in the 1960s okay and in Vatican II that's when they stopped doing the services
in Latin and started actually doing them in language that people spoke and they also said
you know hey the Jews aren't responsible for the death of Jesus and and you know stuff
like that they just changed some of their doctrine and they changed some of their teachings
and they basically just got a lot more liberal and a lot more modernistic in the 60s at this
thing called Vatican II and this guy said well we believe everything up through Vatican
II but I looked at the guy and said wait a minute you just told me that you can't interpret
the Bible on your own but that the church is supposed to do it for you so what get why
are you accepting the first 20 of these ecumenical councils and then you're going to reject number
21 Vatican II and he's just like well you know yeah it's like wait a minute if you're
just going to blindly follow the church as your final authority then you have to accept
Vatican II and when they say hey it's okay to be a homo you have to accept that too because
whatever and if they I mean if they look at whatever they tell you because you're just
like you know I can't interpret the Bible on my own must follow Roman Church if you're
going to be that way then you have to accept everything these every stupid thing that they
say and who knows what because listen they haven't always believed the way they believe
now you know they've changed things you know there was a certain time when the infant baptism
was introduced when the sprinkling was introduced there was certain time when the worship of
Mary was introduced Mary sinless life was introduced the ascension of Mary to heaven
I mean that's not in the Bible but they teach that Mary ascended into heaven like Jesus
she never died but these doctrines were rolled out later so Catholicism is a religion where
you just believe what the church tells you let me tell you something this church faithful
word Baptist Church is not a church where you're expected to believe what the church
tells you you are expected to believe what the Bible tells you and I'll say it right
now if I get up and preach something that's not biblical you have every right to walk
away and say I don't agree with Pastor Anderson on that because that's not what the Bible
says okay because this is the I'm not the final third I'm just up here preaching expounding
and then it's your job to basically decide whether what I'm preaching is true and if
what I'm preaching is not true then you can go somewhere else and find someone that's
preaching the truth and if I am preaching the truth then you come and be a part of the
church and say yeah this is someone that I want to follow because he's preaching the
truth according to the Bible like Paul said follow me as I follow Christ whereas the Catholic
Church is saying that the church is the authority Bible is lower on the list because you can't
because you're just you're not reading it right you're interpreting whereas the Bible
says that the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth we don't need a mediator to teach
us the Bible or else we could just never figure it out on our own so the good news is that
Catholics are easy to win to the Lord and if we love our Catholic coworker or Catholic
neighbor or you know Catholic acquaintances then we need to give them the gospel we need
to show them the truth and preach the truth in love and show them how to be saved and
not get this idea that Catholics are saved because a lot of Baptists even today oh Catholics
are saved they're not saved because they believe that salvation by works and you say well are
you saying all the Catholics all billion Catholics are wrong yes I'm saying that broad is the
way that leads to destruction and many there be which go in there at because straight is
the gate and narrow is the way that which leads them to life and few there be that find
it but we need to go out and preach the truth and we need to expose this to this Francis
for the fraud that he is let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer Father we thank
you so much Lord for the redemption that is in Christ Jesus and thank you that it is to
everyone that believeth Lord and Lord we know that for those who do not believe in Jesus
there is absolutely no hope the Bible says that they are without hope they have no hope
in there without God in the world but Lord help us to preach the glorious gospel of Christ
unto them that they might be saved and please help this this fraud Pope Francis to be exposed
for the lying false prophet that he is and that people would stop following him and worshipping
him and realize that he is a deceiver and a devil and in Jesus name we pray Amen.
