[quote:Anonymous Coward 46789657:MV8yMzUzNTIzXzQwMjA1NDkwXzE2ODM0OEEx] [quote:tripleh31:MV8yMzUzNTIzXzE1MDg5Mjg4] In comments likely to enhance his progressive reputation, Pope Francis has written a long, open letter to the founder of La Repubblica newspaper, Eugenio Scalfari, stating that non-believers would be forgiven by God if they followed their consciences. Responding to a list of questions published in the paper by Mr Scalfari, who is not a Roman Catholic, Francis wrote: “You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don’t believe and who don’t seek the faith. I start by saying – and this is the fundamental thing – that God’s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-assures-atheists-you-dont-have-to-believe-in-god-to-go-to-heaven-8810062.html How many non-scriptural speeches is this Pope going to feed the world? Sorry Francis but the Bible clearly states that only through the blood of Jesus and accepting his gift of eternal life should anyone enter the kingdom of Heaven. So to say you can enter the kingdom by denying God is false and this guy is falsely prophesying. [/quote] take it easy [/quote]
