Who is Pope Francis?

[GlacierDon]

King James Version (KJV)9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

[asrockrpg]

Pope Francis is the first Pope not to live in the Papal Apartment but he lives in the Casa Santa Martha in Vatican. His office is located at the Vatican's Apostolic Palace

[Itsme]

Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles. They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. (Romans 1:22, 23, 25 NLT)

I agree, in these times, when the world is turned upside down we need to support those brave enough to stand for good things. I am an agnostic, but I wish this man well. I hope he is successful at spreading peace and a return to common sense in the world.

[ajitdube]

In Daniel 7, this same Beast power is likened to a Little Horn or kingdom which uproots and destroys three horns or kingdoms, and then speaks great blasphemous words against God (see Daniel 7:8, 20-25).
Are the prophecies of the Beast and the Little Horn power are referring to this same religious power of Vatican City?

1 Thessalonians 5:3
King James Version (KJV)
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

[Alchemisterius]

Many people think that marriage should only be between a man and a woman, included people with gay or lesbian friends, and even homosexual people.
I am against same-sex marriage too (along with many things already existing in marriage), and I would be so even if I were gay and an atheist.

[Alchemisterius]

He doesn't hate gays, but he opposes same-sex marriage, but that does not make him a bad person or someone who does not deserve to be respected.

[Alchemisterius]

I am against it but not for religious reasons, therefore I still would think that way if I were an atheist.
And there are gays that are against gay marriage, if you don't believe me look up Xavier Bongibault, so I would still think that way if I were gay.

[BornFlesh]

What "God" are you referring to?

[Alchemisterius]

Me not, I don't have close gay contacts (I respect them but I'd rather not go into their business), but I'm still against it because I don't think same-sex couples in average would do as well as certain kinds of people, either as parents or as marriage.
People say that they are the same or better, but I'm skeptic to that (For example, homosexuals have higher rates of promiscuity, divorce, drug use -although same rates of alcoholism and domestic violence-, mental insecurity, and HIV).

[Itsme]

That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved. (Romans 1:26, 27 NLT)

Well historically and biblically the Bible knew what's gonna happen and it is true.

[rongreen]

I believe Pope Francis is a sincere and humble man and a most consequential Pontiff, who through his encyclical Laudato Si’ has been the first voice from the Vatican to understand and advocate for the true care of God’s Creation. Because of his large and loving vision, he has been criticized and even condemned by fearful, small-minded individuals who want to take the Church (and the world) back to a time for which they have nostalgia, but not actual knowledge.

[TheDangmayph]

Gentle prisoner, you're right.We give due respect to a person of authority like how we give respect to our parents.

[STATiSofVITALETHICS]

Jesus wouldn't be walking around with those stupid fancy robes and hats either, its all a show of grandeur

[Babytiguer]

He is a great and loving man who goes out of protocol to comfort people. He represents an organization that is made up of people that have dedicated their lives to serve others. All of these good people can't be judged by the mistakes of less tan 1%.  If you don't believe or understand why he is loved, please respect.

[Itsme]

And don't address anyone here on earth as 'Father, ' for only God in heaven is your spiritual Father. And don't let anyone call you 'Teacher, ' for you have only one teacher, the Messiah. The greatest among you must be a servant. But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. (Matthew 23:9-12 NLT)
