Pope Says Mary is the Mother of Forgiveness

[Pope Says Mary is the Mother of Forgiveness Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries] "Pope Francis has once again deceived people with his twisted distortion of Mary. He said, "A person unable to forgive has not yet known the fullness of love. Only one who truly loves is able to forgive and forget." He added that, at the foot of the Cross, Mary becomes for all people the mother of forgiveness, as she follows in the example of her Son who forgives those who are killing him. "For us, Mary is an icon of how the Church must offer forgiveness to those who seek it," Pope Francis continued. Read more.

[Mike Gendron Comment] The pope will continue to deceive people with fatal lies because God has not opened his mind to understand the Scriptures. The Lord Jesus opened the minds of the two men He met on the road to Emmaus and said to them, "repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name" (Luke 24:45-47). Clearly, God is the only one who can offer forgiveness, not the church. The divine condition for forgiveness is repentance, not penance, as the pope teaches." Pro-Gospel.org

If you guys spent half the energy on something constructive as you do on bashing other Christians...

You're not a Christian (Eph 4:14).

"The appearance before the ten (20:19–23)
The fearful ones (20:19a): The disciples are meeting behind locked doors for fear of the Jews.
The faithful one (20:19b–23)
He comforts them (20:19b–20): Suddenly Jesus appears, showing them his hands and side.
He commissions them (20:21–23): They are to become his Spirit-filled witnesses." Willmington, H. L. (1999). The Outline Bible (Jn 20:16–23). Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House Publishers.

...And who delivers the message?

We are saved by grace alone (Eph 2:8-9), through faith alone (Eph 1:13; 2Ti 1:10), in Christ alone (Isa 45:21,22; 59:16; Ac 4:12). Roman Catholics deny this (Jude 1:11).

What is the power to bind and loose?

Your rapists pedophiles cannot forgive sin (Mt 7:20).

See:

No Mediator



"Mt 16:19 the keys of the kingdom of heaven. These represent authority, and here Christ gives Peter (and by extension all other believers) authority to declare what was bound or loosed in heaven. This echoed the promise of John 20:23, where Christ gave the disciples authority to forgive or retain the sins of people. All this must be understood in the context of 18:15–17, where Christ laid out specific instructions for dealing with sin in the church (see note on 18:15). The sum of it all means that any duly constituted body of believers, acting in accord with God’s Word, has the authority to declare if someone is forgiven or unforgiven. The church’s authority is not to determine these things, but to declare the judgment of heaven based on the principles of the Word. When they make such judgments on the basis of God’s Word, they can be sure heaven is in accord. In other words, whatever they “bind” or “loose” on earth is already “bound” or “loosed” in heaven. When the church says the unrepentant person is bound in sin, the church is saying what God says about that person. When the church acknowledges that a repentant person has been loosed from that sin, God agrees." MacArthur, J., Jr. (Ed.). (1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed., p. 1423).

[MacArthur quote: The believer with certainty can also tell those who do not respond to the message of God’s forgiveness through faith in Christ that their sins, as a result, are not forgiven.] This interpretation, you believe to be correct. Is that right?

If one does not respond to the gospel, he will die in his sins (Jn 3:7, 8:24).  

"Agreed.  And you believe that the gospel is preached by believers."

The gospel is not preached by Roman Catholics (Jud 11 ).

"And that believers can say with certainty, whether a man's sins have been forgiven or not."

Become a believer and we can discuss church discipline (Matthew 18:15-20) and discernment (1 Cor. 2:14, 1 John 4:1–6).

Have I misunderstood you so far?

Give up all your religion and live (Jud 11 ). That mama hoe is going to be judged soon (Re 18:7-8). I wouldn't be found anywhere near her right about now (Re 18:4).

"Is this what you believe or not?"

Believers can discern (1 John 4:1–6). Unbelievers and make-believers cannot (1 Cor. 2:14).

Heard the pope speak about the issues going on in the world today.  He said,

"Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary Mary"
