A fin de defenderse a sí mismo de sus críticos, el Papa Francisco acusó a algunos cristianos de preocuparse mucho por los Diez Mandamientos, diciendo que sufren de “cobardía”, y advirtió que ese tipo de personas se “paralizan” y se vuelven incapaces de “avanzar”.
A los Papas nunca les ha interesado la observancia de los Diez Mandamientos. Son los verdaderos seguidores de Jesús quienes se interesan por ello. De hecho, aquellos que verdaderamente aman a Jesús y tienen el Espíritu Santo morando en sus corazones serán los que guardarán los Diez Mandamientos para honrar al Señor, incluyendo el mandato respecto al día de reposo Sábado.
“Obedecer todos los mandamientos…” dijo el Papa, caracteriza negativamente el pensamiento de tales cristianos, [y] “lo paralizan a usted también. Lo hacen olvidar todas las misericordias recibidas, elimina la memoria, borra la esperanza, porque no le permiten avanzar”. Tales personas se convierten en “almas limitadas” que sufren del pecado de la “cobardía”, agregó el Papa.
En otras palabras, la observancia de los Diez Mandamientos evita que progresemos. Si usted quiere tener esperanza, no puede guardar los Diez Mandamientos. Esta extraña lógica es común en las enseñanzas católicas romanas.
Las declaraciones del Papa fueron hechas durante una homilía en la Casa Santa Marta donde él reside en el Vaticano. Y parecen ser la respuesta a la crítica que ha recibido por apoyar que se les ofrezca la Eucaristía a las personas que están viviendo en adulterio, en “segundos” matrimonios, contradiciendo la Ley Canónica. El Papa Francisco recientemente sugirió que las personas en esos tipos de matrimonios “civiles” deben estar en capacidad de recibir la Eucaristía.
Algunos cardenales conservadores han asemejado la posición de Francisco a la de sacerdotes “aarónicos” que permiten que su rebaño peque en contra de los Diez Mandamientos, tal como el Sumo Sacerdote Aarón en el libro de Éxodo cuando construyó un becerro de oro para permitirles a los israelitas la violación del primer mandamiento.
La posición papal tradicionalmente ha evitado que aquellos que no están “válidamente casados” y tienen relaciones sexuales no puedan recibir la Eucaristía. Recientemente el Papa Francisco comparó a sus críticos con “los doctores de la ley que perseguían a Jesús”, haciendo la observación de que “esos hombres hacían todo lo que decía la ley”.
Roma nunca cambia. La iglesia todavía busca justificar el pecado y enseña que usted puede pecar y vivir eternamente, si va a la confesión y recibe absolución.
El comienzo de la gran apostasía consistió precisamente en que se quiso suplir la autoridad de Dios con la de la iglesia. Roma empezó imponiendo cosas que Dios no había mandado, y acabó prohibiendo lo que él había ordenado explícitamente”. El Conflicto de los Siglos, pág. 291.

He is always on the negative of God’s word;the Bible.He should know that if they don’t keep God Law,it makes them forget and fail to progress and move forward! Indeed he is the AntiChrist!!!

He is the one who is a coward. Failing to obey God is cowardice. Standing up for the truth is not being a coward.

Not obeying the Ten Commandments is not and NEVER has been a common Catholic teaching. To make such a claim is absolutely ridiculous. To disobey the Ten Commandments is a sin in the Catholic Church. I believe Pope Francis has been misinterpreted here and if you listen to the entire speech in context he didn’t mean we shouldn’t follow the Ten Commandments. However even if he did that does not change Church teachings. A Pope does not have the power to change such fundamental and core teachings as the Ten Commandments. If the pastor who wrote this bias article is truly a Christian WHY does he lie?? He should realise bearing false witness is also a sin under the Ten Commandments

16 de febrero de 2017 at 23:22 11Thu, 16 Feb 2017 23:22:56 +000056.The fact that the pope has earthly power (the saints “shall be given into his hand”) proves the scripture correct which points out in Daniel 7:25 that he shall “think to change times and laws.” He changes the law of God, and the time of the Sabbath and requires all to worship in his way. This scripture identifies the great apostate by showing us that the great apostate is the one who thinks to change times and laws.

03 de febrero de 2017 at 05:03 05Fri, 03 Feb 2017 05:03:59 +000059.The RCC knows what it’s doing. Not so long ago it blatantly stated that «who wants to stick to the Bible only, must become a SDA». The RCC violated the TC by erasing the 2nd, and splitting the 10th. This pope is on a hostile crussade for strict adherence to the 3th (the biblical 4th), which the RCC changed in making it say the Sunday, the first day of the week instead of the seventh day Sabbath. What is this man talking about? He is defaming all who advocate the Sola’s the RCC clearly denies. Watch out for false prophets and false teachers, like this one. He is pushing his dragon agenda.

As for sola scriptura, this is not Biblical and the early church right up until the reformation did not teach sola scriptura. Regarding Sunday. Again Sunday became the sabbath for Christians from the very early church because Jesus rose from the dead on a Sunday and he made everything anew. He made the old new. This was believed and practiced by all the Christians from the very beginning of the church. Yes there are many false prophets, many of them are those who spend their entire lives attacking and lying about Jesus’ church.
Simple Truth
10 de junio de 2018 at 23:07 11Sun, 10 Jun 2018 23:07:44 +000044.David,
If you read your Bible, really read your Bible yourself and search the truth in it, you would find out that
1. Jesus was crucified on Wednesday,
2. Rose from the grave on Friday night.
Lastly.. the Sabbath is a Saturday, established by God during creation before he even gave the 10 commandments to man.
Those who are awake and not blind know these basic truths. And man can not change God’s laws.
Man can attempt to deceive man but God’s laws always prevail.
Besides, If you really read the Bible for yourself, you would realise God already warned his people about what is happening now.

11 de junio de 2018 at 12:09 12Mon, 11 Jun 2018 12:09:55 +000055.The Wednesday crucifixion and Friday resurrection is nonsense, though some try to make that argument from scripture. It shows they don’t understand jewish reckoning. But the Sabbath before the 10 commandments argument is valid.

06 de febrero de 2017 at 22:55 10Mon, 06 Feb 2017 22:55:15 +000015.“Let us begin today, my brothers, to do good, because up to now, we have done nothing.” These words, which the Seraphic Father, St. Francis, in his humility applied to himself, should be made ours, at the beginning of this new year. We truly have done nothing to date, or perhaps, very little; the years have followed one another and from beginning to end, we have never asked ourselves how we have spent them, whether there was something to be rectified, to be added or obliterated from our conduct. We have lived thoughtlessly, as if the Eternal Judge were not going to call us to Himself one day and ask us to account for our deeds and for the way we have spent our time. And yet, we must give an exact account of every moment, of every grace, of every holy inspiration, of every opportunity to do good. The slightest transgression of God’s holy laws, will be taken into consideration! (TN, Epist. IV, p. 963).by Padre Pio
admin
07 de febrero de 2017 at 08:02 08Tue, 07 Feb 2017 08:02:55 +000055.St. Francis added nothing to the word of God either. The Bible itself says all those things. “But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.” Matt 12:36. «For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil.” Eccl 12:14. «And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:” John 16:8 «And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” Jude 14, 15. «He hath showed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” Micah 6:8 «Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;” Romans 12:9, 10. «And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:30-32. And that is just the beginning of the scripture on these topics.

If the Ten Commandments were not meant to be obeyed, God would not have written them with His own finger . He not only written them once ,but twice. After Moses broke them when Isreal built an image of a calf and was worshiping it. Moses was angry and broke them. God told Him to come back to mount and God wrote them again.
God warns, man not to alter or change any part of His word.

Lucifer ultimate goal is to get us to fight one another so that he will have less to do that and most of all he no’s that it hurts Jesus to see his children he loves fighting in his name when there is so much to come together in his name if you want to see that just go to the walk 4 life March and I promise you that u won’t see any division of religion just Christians united against the evil war on the murder of the innocent it’s also war on us and are believes that is why we need to be united because there are so many people who have turned their backs on Jesus Christ it wasn’t long ago when the united States was ran on Judea Christian values and it meant something to be a good Christian and to treat your neighbor as you yourself would like to be treated.please stop fighting each other and finding things that you don’t like about each other and see what you both have in common the Lord Jesus Christ he is the one true link to all of us that truly are good Christian’s love love love to all of you

Those who claim to love Jesus but do not believe or teach what the Jesus says cannot be united with His true followers. A shallow unity with those who believe some truth and some error is not going to get us where we need to be.

We can only distinguish his actions and words, whether or not they align with the bible. That is the standard of ALL faith and practice. We have strong faith in Christ, and in His word. That’s how we can distinguish the fruits. Investigate a little deeper Jaques. If you do so sincerely, you will see that the pope is in conflict with God’s ten commandment law, particularly in promoting Sunday worship. I urge you to get out your bible and read it, searching for true light. If we follow Jesus we will have a life… eternal life. God bless you.

Scripture is of no private interpretation.
Peter, would say no to commonly what is done in his name. Mary would say,» worship my son», and not to seek her for salvation .

The Sabbath is a lot more than going to church. It is a day to spend with Christ and fellow believers. It is a symbol of the principles of true, biblical Christianity. Our mission is to proclaim scripture and link current events with Bible prophecy. We hope that’s not too hard to swallow.

29 de mayo de 2019 at 21:40 09Wed, 29 May 2019 21:40:31 +000031.Definition of a Christian
A Christian is a person who is a follower of Jesus Christ and he or she follows all the teachings of Jesus Christ, keeping His commandments including keeping the seventh-day Sabbath holy. Jesus Christ is the Lord of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8, Mark 2:28 and Luke 6:5).
If a person claims that he or she is a Christian, but does not keep His commandments including does not keep the seventh-day Sabbath holy, he or she is not a follower of Jesus Christ and therefore he or she is not a Christian.
1 John 2:3-4 3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
John 14:15 15 “If you love Me, [a]keep My commandment
We serve an immutable God and we have an immutable Savior, Jesus Christ.
God and Jesus Christ are immutable and so are His commandments including the seventh-day Sabbath.
James 4:17 17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
