WORDS OF A DECEIVER NOT BIBLICAL,
BUT RATHER COMMUNIST

In an ecumenical pilgrimage to Geneva Pope Francis said, "Not only God, but today's broken, divided world is begging for unity among Christians." He said, "Our differences must not be excuses because as Christ's disciples, Christians can still pray together, evangelize and serve others." The pope spent several hours with Christian leaders at the headquarters of the World Council of Churches, a fellowship of 350 ecclesial communities. The pope came to help celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of what is the largest and broadest ecumenical fellowship in the world.
In his speech, the pope said, "Our lack of unity" is not only contrary to God's will, it is "also a scandal to the world." Pope Francis, the third pope to visit the WCC, said he wanted to come as "a pilgrim in quest of unity and peace." He thanked God for having found "brothers and sisters already making this same journey." He said it was critical that Christians come together for "the credibility of the Gospel," which is "put to the test by the way Christians respond" to those suffering in the world today. Read more.
Mike's Comment: How ironic that the pope would call for unity among Christians in the city of Geneva, where God used the Reformers to expose and renounce the corrupt, apostate religion of Roman Catholicism. The pope is unaware that there can never be unity between born again Christians and Roman Catholics, because we are divided on the essentials of the Gospel, how one is born again, how one is justified, how one is purified of sin, who mediates between God and man, and the necessity, sufficiency and exclusivity of Jesus Christ. The unity God desires is only among those He has called out of the world and given as a gift to His Son. Unity can only be in truth among those who have kept God's Word (John 17:6, 9). Jesus did not pray for unity with unbelievers but for unity among those who believe in Him through the Word, that they may be sanctified by the truth (John 17:20-23).
