Pope Francis assures atheists:
You don’t have to believe in God to go to heaven
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.
“Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience.”
So, the Pope, the leader of the Catholic Church, thinks you can reject the existence of God and still be saved? Question for Frankie, why would an athiest want to go somewhere they don't believe exisists. Guess the following scriptures doesn't apply according to this fraud, I mean Pope:
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; John 11:15
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8
For "Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved." Romans 10:13
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:16
He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” Acts: 30-31
I guess the Pope knows more about how to get into heaven than Jesus himself. So lets see, who do I follow? The pope, Jesus, the pope, Jesus. Ummm. I'll take Jesus. To
put it as bluntly as I can, the Pope has basically called Jesus a liar.
"No man comes to the father but through me." Kind of blows what the pope claims out of the water.
