Bible Flock Box, Published on January 9, 2016 on www.youtube.com 

Narrator: Pope Francis on the Feast of the Holy Family in Vatican City on December 27, 2015 made a statement that has been getting some attention lately. I’ll leave a link to the story in its entirety in the description box if you want to read it yourself.

Narrator: But the Article reads, “The Pope reflected from the Sunday reading from the Gospel of Luke in which a young Jesus stayed in Jerusalem in the Temple causing great distress to Mary and Joseph when they could not find Him.” 

 “For this little ‘escapade,’ Jesus probably had to beg forgiveness of His parents,” the Pope suggested. “The Gospel doesn’t say this, but I believe that we can presume it.”

Narrator: Now I don’t believe we can presume this at all.  And I don’t think any true Christian of faithful student of the Bible would come to such a conclusion.  Because the implication is that Jesus had committed a Sin.  Because if you need to beg forgiveness from someone that means that you had committed a Sin against them.  However, this is contrary to the Scriptures. Because the Bible says Jesus was Sinless.

  Speaking of Jesus in 1st John 3:5 states:

Narrator: Not to mention in the story from Luke when Jesus got lost and was later found in the Temple by His parents in Luke 2:48-49 states:

Narrator: Therefore, Jesus was doing nothing wrong.  He was simply fulfilling the will of His Father.

  This isn’t the first time the Pope has said something to undermine Jesus in the Bible. For example, on October 19, 2015 the Christian Post reported that Pope Francis said, “The Bible is a Highly Dangerous Book.”

Narrator: On October 2, 2015 Charismatics News.com reported that Pope Francis stated “Jesus Life was a Failure” while addressing St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City.

Narrator: Why do I think the Pope is saying these things?  I think he is saying them to subliminal condition people to not take the Bible or the stories in the Bible literally.  This will set people up to be deceived and receive the Mark of the Beast.

 You see the issue of the Mark of the Beast is going to be on the Ten Commandments.  Revelation 14:11-12 is speaking on those who worship the Beast and who receive his image. And the Saints of God describe the Saints of God as they who keep the Commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

Narrator: By deduction that means those who receive the Mark of the Beast won’t keep the Commandments of God.  Before Jesus returns He will have prepared a people that follow Him so closely that they no longer give any of the Devil’s temptations.  They will no longer commit any willful sins.  The Bible calls them the 144,000.

 Revelation 14:4-5 says, “They follow the Lamb,” which is a symbol for Jesus “Wherever He goes.  And in their mouth is no guile or deceit and they are without fault before the throne of God.” 

Narrator: The Devil knows that Jesus wants to cleanse a special people for Himself before He returns.  To demonstrate the character of a loving God in their lives and proclaim the truth of the Gospel to a dying world. To prepare others to meet the Lord at His return.

  To counter this work of God the Devil inspires individuals like the Pope to say things to undermine Jesus and the Bible.  So, people won’t take the Bible literally.  Because if they won’t take the Bible literally, then they won’t obey the Bible.

 What’s more an article published on December 22, 2015 by Pastor Hal Mayer states, “While on his return from Africa, Pope Francis said that Fundamentalism is “disease of all Religions.” And the Pope goes on to say, “Fundamentalism is always a tragedy.  It is not Religious, it lacks God, it is idolatrous.”

Narrator:  Now he was saying this in the context of Fundamentalism and Radical Muslim Terrorist attacks.  But he even put his own church in the mix stating, “We Catholics we have a view even many Fundamentalists they believe they know absolute truth and corrupt others.”  He says, “Adding I can say this because this is my church.”

 In the same breath that the Pope used to condemn Islamic Fundamentalists he condemned Christian Fundamentalism. What is Christian Fundamentalism? You might be asking yourself?

 Google defines “Fundamentalism as a form of Religion especially Islam or Protestant Christianity that upholds belief in a strict, literal interpretation of Scripture.”

 Therefore, according to the Pope, “If you are a Christian who takes the Bible literally you are diseased.  You are not Religious.  You are idolatrous, and you lack God.”

 The Catholic church really doesn’t have to worry about this since it doesn’t take the Bible literally.  For example, the Catholic church endorses Evolution.  And that’s not Biblical at all.  And it endorses many other practices that aren’t Biblical.  Like the veneration of Mary and the Saints, the Sunday sabbath, and the Authority of the Pope.

Narrator: But what I see happening with the Pope’s statement against Fundamentalism is that he is arguing that we need to get rid of all kinds of Fundamentalism in every Religion. So, we don’t have radical Christians or Jews running around trying to hurt each other.

 In addition, the Pope wants us all be part of the Ecumenical movement. To unite, to ensure that we will live in peace and harmony with each other. But this is really a diabolical deception in design.  It’s a plan to eliminate those who take the Bible literally and want to live by the Word of God.

Narrator: The time is coming when Fundamentalism of all Religions will be outlawed. And those who accept the Bible literally and follow all of God’s Commandments will be called Terrorists.

 Get ready submit your life to Jesus everyday in prayer. Read and follows the Bible. Forsake all of your known sins in the power of Jesus.  Let Him prepare you for the future. You are going to need it.  Tough times are ahead for Christians. But if we stay close to Jesus He will guide us in the right direction.  Thank you for watching.
