I started watching this video, planning to stop watching after a little bit.... Since it seemed it was the standard Catholics Bad / Evangelicals Good ...
(and there is some of that in this video)
However, this video tends to highlight Pope Francis -- more than popes in general... so plan to finish watching it (over a hour long)
The biggest thing that snagged my attention ... is that Pope Francis
Has pretty much welcomed all religious people with "open arms" with the exception of one group...
That group (which happens to be my own belief system) is that it is possible for each individual to have their own direct relationship...... with the God of this universe and His son Jesus Christ.....
There is no need for a middle man (nor pope)......
You have some time to watch about one hour video .... recommend this one......

Funny isn't it KJS, if we don't need a middle man....the Pope and many of his people would be out of business. Not completely, but in some ways. How would they say something like that to a congregation.. world wide and admit, "hey, we were wrong". That's hard to do. The catholic church is in a very bad spot and my heart is saddened for those under that church. Not just because of doctrine, but also all the issues that have been arising: sexual assaults, pedophiles, bringing in other religions, selling churches to other religions etc...They are dooming themselves.

The Latest: Pope, senior Muslim cleric pledge hope for peace. apnews.com/0ddb190d6c3d46a0be910aadf61e35648:25 p.m. Pope Francis and the grand imam of Egypt’s Al-Azhar, the highest seat of learning in Sunni Islam, have signed a statement with their hopes for world peace and human understanding. The two signed the document Monday night during the pope’s visit to the United Arab Emirates. It is the first papal visit ever to the Arabian Peninsula, the birthplace of Islam. “Whenever it is that they are saying: ‘Peace and security!’ then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them.”—1 Thess. 5:3.

Pope Francis Calls on Chinese Bishops to Show ‘Loyalty’ to Civil Authorities. www.breitbart.com/asia/2019/02/04/pope-francis-calls-chinese-bishops-show-loyalty-civil-authorities/Pope Francis has called on Chinese bishops to show respect and loyalty to the ruling Chinese Communist Party as faithful “members of the Chinese people.” The former bishop of Hong Kong, Cardinal Joseph Zen, told Breitbart News in an interview last week that Catholics in China are suffering “huge confusion” because of the recent deal between the Vatican and the Communist Party of China (CPC), which yielded some authority to the government over the naming of Catholic bishops. “The provisional agreement between the Holy See and the Chinese government is a secret deal,” the cardinal said, “and no one knows exactly what it specified.”

Pope Francis Calls on Chinese Bishops to Show ‘Loyalty’ to Civil Authorities. Well, bless his commie heart. Not so great for the true Christians meeting in secret, huh?

This was posted in the shoutbox, but I thought I'd add it here. I know I posted an article about this in another thread a year or so ago, but I'm having trouble finding it now. It was an article about this interview with the pope. www.cnsnews.com/blog/michael-w-chapman/scalfari-pope-francis-told-me-jesus-incarnate-was-man-not-all-godfrom link - In the latest edition of La Repubblica, Pope Francis' longtime atheist friend and interviewer, Eugenio Scalfari, claims that the Pope told him that once Jesus Christ became incarnate, he was a man, a "man of exceptional virtues" but "not at all a God." ... Scalfari continues, "When I had the chance of discussing these sentences, Pope Francis told me: 'They are the proven proof that Jesus of Nazareth, once having become a man, was, though a man of exceptional virtues, not at all a God.'" In a March 2018 interview with Scalfari, Pope Francis reportedly said, "There is no Hell, there is the disappearance of sinful souls." ... The Pope himself never denied what Scalfari reported and the article never ran a correction or removed the article from its website. And then there is this - www.breitbart.com/environment/2019/10/09/vatican-synod-amazon-proposes-recognition-ecological-sins/from link - ROME — Participants in the Vatican synod on the Amazon region proposed adding “sins against the environment” to lists of traditionally recognized sins in their second day of discussions and deliberations. Synod fathers called for an “ecological conversion” that would allow people to see “the gravity of sins against the environment as sins against God, against our neighbour, and against future generations,” Vatican News reported Wednesday. "This would imply a need to produce and spread more widely a theological literature that would include ‘ecological sins’ alongside traditional sins,” the report stated. Really?! Adding sins! Adding to the word of God! Is it any wonder why people see this pope as the False Prophet? The Vatican as Babylon? The amount of blasphemy coming from within it's walls should be eye-opening.

sog, thanks for posting this. Can it be ever clearer that we are in the midst of everything? Yet, we are still here in our flesh and blood state. That's ok. He is right at the Door! Praise the Lord that He impresses upon our hearts to post things that are so highly suspicious. Things will get more and more clear to matching the Scriptures. Pray for steadfastness among the brethren. Pray for those who are in the midst of these deceptive religions that their eyes may be opened to the Truth about the Son of our Lord God.

Thanks sogShocker. The age old enemy of Jews alligns with the oldest enemy of the Jews. Calling for peace. Really? Peace between whom? Vulcans and Leprechauns? Oh wait, Hobbits and the Narnians or the other mythical group 'Palestinians'. Strange that the haters of Israel didn't think to invite Jews to this party? If anyone doesn't see this as proof of the total Godlessness of the Catholic system and a sign of contractions then they're sleeping. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Great video from Barry Scarbrough on this subject. Please watch all the way through. Goes through the Revelation scripture to make his point that this pope francis is the False Prophet and the Catholic church is babylon (or at least the religious side of it). May 14 next year the pope is going to sign a pact with global leaders for a "New Humanism". Prophecy is unfolding layers at a time and we are here (at least for now) to witness it and be a witness for others of the salvation offered by God through Jesus.
False Prophet Prepares Global Pact for “New Humanism” on Israel’s Birthday, 2020!!
Talks about the 8 kings of Revelation 17 at about the 18 minute mark.

I tend to also agree that the Pope will be the False Prophet. However, I would disagree that the beast in Rev 17 is the False Prophet. This is because in Rev 13:11 the FP is described as a beast with two horns like a lamb but speaks as a dragon.
The beast with seven heads is described earlier in Rev 13:1. The dragon gives his power to this beast. But it seems that this beast may be controlled by the false religion but eventually destroys it. (Reading Rev 17)

The dragon gives his power to this beast. But it seems that this beast may be controlled by the false religion but eventually destroys it. (Reading Rev 17) Natalie , Not sure if you caught what Barry was saying about the unholy trinity that is the Dragon, AC/Beast, FP/Beast. Satan desires to mirror in an unholy way everything that God is (Father,Son,Holy Spirit). I think what Barry was trying to say that spiritually they are all Beast. Separate people maybe, but one in spirit with the Dragon (Satan). My Take - Revelation 13:1 And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Here Satan is at the seashore, I assume giving rise to and observing, the beasts coming forth. Revelation 13: 1-10 is the False Prophet (Beast) Revelation 13: 11-18 is the Anti-Christ (Beast) I find by replacing (Not changing the word of God, but just for readability) the words "Beast/Him/he" with FP/Catholic Vatican in 1-9 and replacing "He/he" with AC in 11-18 it makes sense to me. Now you can also read it the following way, which I admit I waver between which is correct. Maybe they both are. I find a lot of duality in the meaning of God's word. Revelation 13:1 And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Again Satan is at the seashore, giving rise to and observing, the beasts coming forth. Revelation 13: 1-10 is the Vatican Catholic Church (Beast) Revelation 13: 11-18 is the FP/Anti-Christ in one (Beast) Now replace (Not changing the word of God, but just for readability) the words "Beast/Him/he" with Catholic Vatican in 1-9 and replacing "He/he" with FP/AC in 11-18. Either way could make sense.

I see what you are saying. In my mind I have the two switched...the Antichrist being the first beast in Rev 13 and the FP being the second. Seeing the beast like a lamb as the counterfeit priest to our true High Priest.
I will have to do some rereading. It has been a bit since I have really looked at this part of Revelation.
Yes, I do agree to it being an unholy Trinity working in the same (demonic) spirit.

Yes, I do agree to it being an unholy Trinity working in the same (demonic) spirit. As we know The Lamb is a symbol of sacrificial Jesus. And what is the antithesis of Jesus in the unholy demonic trinity? The Anti-Christ. So here in Revelation 13:11, the "like a lamb" (unholy lamb) is the AC.
