He didn’t want the moneychangers in His Father’s temple, and he didn’t want the Nicolaitanes in His churches: Jesus Christ Our Lord did NOT “accept,” “affirm,” or even tolerate everyone and everything.
Time has erased the memory of what, exactly, the Nicolaitanes said or did that earned Christ’s condemnation: but the condemnation is in no uncertain terms, and He does use the word “hate” to describe how He feels about them and their teachings.
Maybe we’re better off not knowing what those were.
Remember those reports that Pope Francis I, a communist, would retire after Christmas? Not true.
Instead, the Red Pope sez he’ll “devote” 2021 to “reflection” on his own 2016 document, Amoris Laetitia, to “deepen it.” Sorry for all the quotation marks. They are indispensable for describing twaddle.
Amoris, an “exhortation” by the Pope, contains some eye-popping errors that are sure to unsettle the Church… big-time (https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/pope-francis-declares-2021-will-be-year-dedicated-to-error-filled-amoris-laetitia?utm_source=featured&utm_campaign=catholic). Among them are these howlers:
*Living by the Gospel “may be impossible for some people.” So they get a pass.
*No one is condemned to hell. (If you’re going to Heaven no matter what you do, why go to the trouble of being good?)
*Knowingly breaking a divine law isn’t necessarily a mortal sin.
*Sometimes one’s own “conscience” has greater authority than God’s Word.
*Somehow it can be a sin to obey a divine law. (What? Huh?)
*The death penalty is always unjust.
At the same time, the Red Pope has been pushing the Roman Catholic Church toward full acceptation of homosexuality as a way of life, free and clear of the sin that the Bible ascribes to it. Bible, schmeible, I’m the Pope!
Today, January 6, 2021… looks like the whole world is melting down before our eyes.
O Lord our God! Remember, remember, that these things are done against our will, without our consent, and over our objections. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
