Pope Francis gave some surprising answers in a candid news
conference with reporters as he flew back to Rome from his celebrated
trip to Brazil. For instance, he said he won't judge priests for their
sexual orientation: "If someone is gay and
he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?" He also
said the Catholic Church needs to build a bigger role for women, though
stopped far short of suggesting they be ordained as priests. He also
said he appreciates being challenged by his advisers: "I like it when
someone tells me, 'I don't agree. This is a true collaborator. When they
say 'Oh, how great, how great, how great,' that's not useful." http://yhoo.it/1e5NZxi
I am so SICK TO DEATH of this "Who are WE to
JUDGE! Who are YOU to JUDGE!" garbage! Standing up for righteousness,
calling sin SIN, not cow-towing to rebellious carnal minded people
within the church because we don't want to OFFEND them or
hurt their feelings has nothing to do with JUDGING somebody. Good
gosh, sometimes I think "judge not lest ye be judged" is the ONLY
sentence in the word of God that most people in the church ever bothered
to read, but the sure do have it memorized! That one scripture is
used, or should I say ABUSED, more than any other probably- used by
do-it-yourself 'Christians' to justify the sinful lifestyles they refuse
to come out of. ALL Christians have faults and things that they
battle.....but hating something and battling it is a completely
different thing than cuddling up to it and affectionately petting it!
Homosexuality is SINFUL, it is a stench in God's nostrils and a slap in
his face. It is a CHOICE- a rebellious wicked minded choice, and GOD
will not tolerate it EVER! And for other Christians to keep silent
about it happening IN THE CHURCH, patting people on the back who claim
the name of Christ yet swim in the homosexual cesspool, and LYING to
them that God agrees with, understands, AND accepts it, because we think
warning them about it would make them feel like we were JUDGING
them....is a gross violation of what GOD commanded his people to do,
such as "Cry aloud, spare not. Lift up your voice like a trumpet and
declare to My people their transgression and to the house of Jacob their
sins!" (Isaiah 58:1) ......
"Son of man, I have made you a
watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth,
and give them warning from Me: When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall
surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked
from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in
his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet, if you
warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his
wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your
soul. “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and
commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die;
because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his
righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I
will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man
that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely
live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.”
Ezekiel 3:17-21
