In Stunning Reversal, Pope Francis Tells Coronavirus Quarantined Catholics They Don’t Really Need A Priest To Confess Their Sins To God

In Stunning Reversal, Pope Francis Tells Coronavirus Quarantined Catholics They Don’t Really Need A Priest To Confess Their Sins To God

Pope Francis tells Catholics under coronavirus quarantine to confess their sins directly to God and not the priest in the confessional box.
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

People who cannot get to confession because of the coronavirus lockdown or another serious reason can go to God directly, be specific about their sins, request pardon and experience God’s loving forgiveness, Pope Francis said.

How well I remember my years as a Catholic, starting as an altar boy and then spending 12 years in the Catholic school system, I can still recall how confusing it all was and how much the priests would constantly contradict themselves. Pope Francis’ statement over the weekend urging Catholics under coronavirus quarantine who cannot get to the confessional with a priest to simply confess their sins to God directly is a great example of that. What the…?? Has the pope become a temporary Protestant? Sure sounds like it.

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.” 1 Timothy 2:5-7 (KJB)

This is where most Catholics fail to make the connection, and understand that no one needs any organized church body to be their mediator between them and God. That’s the freedom of the gospel! If you’re a Catholic, ask yourself this. If the pope is now telling you to confess your sin directly to God, then why on earth did you ever need to get in a box with priest and tell him what belongs to God’s ears only? You didn’t! The truth is your priest has never had the ability to forgive your sins, no priest ever has. Only Jesus can do that, and you need to go to Him directly. So do it.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-18 (KJB)

The Roman Catholic Church cannot do anything for you that you cannot do for yourself by simply opening the bible, reading it, believing it and trusting God. If you want to be sure you know where you are going when you die, something no Catholic priest knows, just get saved and become born again. All roads do not lead to Heaven, and the Roman Catholic church is not the “one, true church”, they are a counterfeit imposter. If  you never really needed a priest to have your sins forgiven, as Pope Francis is now saying, you don’t need a priest for anything else, either.

If you can’t go to confession, take your sins directly to God, Pope Francis shockingly now says

FROM CRUX NOW: “This is the right time, the opportune moment. An act of contrition done well, and our souls will become white like the snow,” the pope said March 20 during his live-streamed morning Mass.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Isn’t it amazing how quickly they can change the “never changing doctrine” of the Catholic Church? This is what their own teachings say about confession, and now because of the coronavirus, Catholics suddenly don’t need the priest they told you your whole life  you needed? I quoted the Catechism below, read it. Come on, now, think!)

Confession to a priest is an essential part of the sacrament of Penance: “All mortal sins of which penitents after a diligent self-examination are conscious must be recounted by them in confession, even if they are most secret and have been committed against the last two precepts of the Decalogue”  Catechism of the Catholic Church

Pope Francis began the Mass by praying again for doctors, especially in northern Italy, where the COVID-19 pandemic still is infecting thousands and leading to the deaths of hundreds of people each day.

Italy began a nationwide lockdown March 10 in an attempt to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Churches are open for private prayer and priests can hear confessions if they are wearing a mask and gloves and stay more than 3 feet away from the penitent. But people are being encouraged not to leave their homes at all.

POPE FRANCIS TELLS CATHOLICS IN ROME THAT A ‘PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP’ WITH JESUS IS ‘DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL’

“Return to your father who is waiting for you,” the pope said. “The God of tenderness will heal us; he will heal us of the many, many wounds of life and the many ugly things we have done. Each of us has our own!”

God welcomes every repentant sinner with open arms, he said. “It’s like going home.” Lent is a special time “to let God wash us, purify us, to let God embrace us,” the pope said, and the best place for that is the confessional.

“But many people today would tell me, ‘Father, where can I find a priest, a confessor, because I can’t leave the house? And I want to make peace with the Lord, I want him to embrace me, I want the Father’s embrace.’”

The pope said his response would be, “Do what the Catechism (of the Catholic Church) says. It is very clear: If you cannot find a priest to confess to, speak directly with God, your father, and tell him the truth. Say, ‘Lord, I did this, this, this. Forgive me,’ and ask for pardon with all your heart.”

Make an act of contrition, the pope said, and promise God, “‘I will go to confession afterward, but forgive me now.’ And immediately you will return to a state of grace with God.” READ MORE

If you’re a Roman Catholic, now would be a great time to exercise logic and ask yourself “if I don’t need a priest in coronavirus quarantine, then why do I ever need one?” You don’t, and you never did. Get saved and you will have access to Jesus Christ directly!

TRIUMPH OF THE WILL: Hundreds Of Anti-Israel Pro-Hamas Protesters Swarm New York University And Police Plaza HQ Chanting ‘Zionists Must Go!’

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Anti-Israel protesters armed with flares marched toward NYPD headquarters late Monday night after the number of students arrested at NYU reportedly rose to over 150.

Things have gotten so bad for the Jews that any day now I am expecting to read reports of glass windows of Jewish storekeepers being smashed and yellow stars being once again affixed to the lapels of the hated Zionists. Lest you think I am using hyperbole, last night in New York City, hundreds of rioters chanting “Gaza, Gaza!!” and “Zionists Must Go!!” as they stormed the local universities as well as New York Police Headquarters, demanding the end of Israel and the extermination of the Jews from the Middle East. Suddenly, it’s 1933 all over again. Time to pick a side, Christian. I stand with the Zionists.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJB)

I was not alive when Hitler came to power, so there is nothing I could do about all that. But I am alive right now, and God has given me a platform that reaches the whole world. Christian, don’t sit this one out on the sidelines, get in the game and be very vocal. Our Saviour is the King of the Jews, Jesus of Nazareth, and these are His chosen people caught in the crossfire. Stand for the Jew, stand with Israel, and be as much of a blessing to them as you can be. You will be graded on it later. A great place to start is by ordering a box of these ‘Love The Jewish People’ gospel tracts, and start handing them out where the Lord has planted you. If you have the guts.

Anti-Israel protesters carry flares to march on NYPD HQ after over 150 arrested at NYU

FROM THE NY POST: Videos of Monday night’s protests show demonstrators holding bright flares over their heads while marching toward One Police Plaza while others waved flags, banged drums and chanted “Gaza.”

Other clips show NYPD officers in riot gear monitoring protesters who chant “We will free Palestine, within our lifetime.”

By late Monday, more than 150 protesters had been arrested as the NYU camp was broken up, sources told PIX 11. The NYPD could not confirm that number early Tuesday. A spokesperson for NYU said “disorderly, disruptive and antagonizing” protesters packed Gould Plaza, prompting the university to send the NYPD a written request for them to intervene. Protesters were demanding NYU divest from weapons manufacturers and end the school’s relationship with Tel Aviv University. Some staff at the downtown university were also seen joining the rally.

Videos shared online allegedly show dozens of NYU faculty members linking arms to try and prevent the NYPD from moving in on the student’s encampment. On Sunday, a prominent rabbi at the school urged Columbia and Barnard students to stay home — and university officials told them they could take classes online.

Their protests also followed last week’s congressional hearing with Columbia President Minouche Shafik, who spoke about the university’s response to antisemitism. Dozens were also arrested at Yale Monday and other campsites have been pitched on campus quads from Michigan to Massachusetts. READ MORE

Social Media Erupts With Stories Of A Red Heifer Being Sacrificed In Israel For Passover, Will It Actually Happen? No, And Here’s Why It Won’t.

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Christians all across social media are buzzing about the possibility of a red heifer being sacrificed in Jerusalem for Passover, sorry to disappoint them

There is a group in Christianity today, I will call them a fringe group from a doctrinal perspective, and they are advocating for the building of a Third Temple in Israel, on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Not only that, but they seem intent on the sacrifice of a red heifer to kickstart the whole process. There are many problems associated with all this, and we will briefly touch on each one of them.

“And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:” Numbers 19:1,2 (KJB)

First of all, there is no Temple in Israel, and not only that, there is no commandment for the Jews to build one right now. In order for that to take place, God would have to be speaking afresh through one of His prophets, giving instruction on exactly what to do and how to do it. In the Old Testament, we see God speaking to people like Moses, David, Solomon, Daniel and Ezekiel about the creation of a Temple of some kind. We clearly see when the first one is built, when that one is rebuilt, how it falls into Roman hands under Herod, and then disappears altogether in 70 AD..

“Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 (KJB)

Will there be a rebuilt Temple in the time of Jacob’s trouble? Yes, and it will be the Temple of and for Antichrist. It is called the “temple of God” but only because Antichrist is pretending to be God and is received as such by the Jews in that time period after the Rapture of the Church takes place. So that takes care of the Temple problem, now the red heifer.

You can sacrifice a red heifer all you like, and nothing will happen, even if you somehow are able to to it on the Temple Mount. Why? Because there is no commandment from God to do that in the Church Age. Zero. The best you could do would be a tragic cartoonish recreation, like when the Charismatics pretend they have the apostolic signs and go around claiming they’re performing miracles when they clearly are not. Now, sacrificing a red heifer on the Temple Mount might start a war between the Jews and the Palestinians, but it won’t advance the prophetic timeline one second. Today, police arrested 21 worshippers on the suspicion of planning to sacrifice a Passover offering in the Jerusalem area. The legal center of the Honenu organization was notified of eight arrests since Monday morning on suspicion of planning to sacrifice a Passover offering. Like I said, it’s not going to happen.

Check out what’s new & exciting at the NTEB Bible Believers Bookstore!

As Christians, we are not waiting for a Temple to be built, we already have one. As Christians, we have no need to sacrifice any animal as we have a better High Priest with a better sacrifice. Himself. The Jewish people will be the focus after we leave, but for now, for Passover 2024, it is still the Church Age and salvation is only in Jesus Christ. The Bible is very specific about conditions that need to be met in order for things like the building of a Temple and the sacrificing of a red heifer to take place, and those conditions do not exist at the moment. The only thing that sacrificing a red heifer now would do would be to get you arrested and put in jail. It won’t usher in the end times because doctrine matters.

Ten Years Ago We Warned You The LGBTQIA+ Movement Was Coming For Your Children, Now Youth Gender Medicine Seeks To Finish The Job

Published

Youth Gender Medicine is the latest attempt to increase the ranks of the LGBTQIA+ Movement while destroying the hearts, minds and bodies of your children

Over a decade ago, NTEB warned you that the 6-color Pride flag of the LGBTQIA+ Movement was actually a battle flag, and that the Sodomites had declared war on anyone and everyone who stood in the way of their forward, Progressive march. Initially they said they only wanted tolerance, then acceptance, then equality. In 2024 they have all those things but remain unsatisfied. Why? They want dominance, and now the medical establishment is helping them to get it with something called Youth Gender Medicine.

“This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.” Genesis 5:1,2 (KJB)

Youth Gender Medicine is something that sounds like it comes straight from the Ministry of Propaganda and Enlightenment that existed in Nazi Germany in the 1930’s. It’s right up there with Eugenics and the idea of a ‘master race’ of people. CNN News says it like this: “Gender-affirming care is medically necessary, evidence-based care that uses a multidisciplinary approach to help a person transition from their assigned gender—the one the person was designated at birth—to their affirmed gender—the gender by which one wants to be known.” Hmm, is that really news. or wish fulfillment fantasy being implanted in your mind?

When I was a kid coming up in the 1970’s, whenever someone would ‘act out’ and do something that was not in line with their gender, they would be loving rebuked and have the differences between boys and girls explained to them. That solved it in 99.9% of instances. But in 2024, the minds of our children are so saturated with Progressive propaganda about ‘gender fluidity’ that they don’t know what to believe, and have begun to doubt even their very existence. The LGBTQIA+ continues to add to their ranks in a propaganda campaign that is so powerful, so pervasive and so demonic that even Josef Goebbels would be envious.

The whole concept of Youth Gender Medicine is a false premise because you cannot change your gender, it is impossible. You can deepen or lighten your voice, you can chemically castrate yourself, you can effect the mannerisms of the other gender you wish you be, but when all is said and done you remain what you were born. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. If a man were to marry a transgender woman, he would find himself very much in a homosexual relationship, as he has ‘married’ another man. The Bible says that God created a man and a woman, 2 genders and no more. Outside of birth defects which can and do occur when a baby is being formed, anything else is of the Devil.
