One word…unbelievable. On December 27th, 2015 Pope Francis equated himself with Jesus Christ. In fact he didn’t just equate himself, he equated everyone with Jesus Christ. Christians near and far need to understand every aspect of what the pope stated in his “Feast of the Holy Family” statement.
The Pope reflected on the Sunday reading from the Gospel of Luke in which a young Jesus stayed in Jerusalem in the Temple, causing great distress to Mary and Joseph when they could not find him.
“For this little ‘escapade,’ Jesus probably had to beg forgiveness of his parents,” the Pope suggested. “The Gospel doesn’t say this, but I believe that we can presume it.”
Scripture is very clear. Jesus Christ did not sin.
1 Peter 2:22 — 22 Who did no sin, neither was there guile found in his mouth.
2 Corinthians 5:21 — 21 For he hath made him to be [a]sin for us, which [b]knew no sin, that we should be made the [c]righteousness of God in him.
Hebrews 7:26 — 26 [a]For such an high Priest it became us to have, which is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens:
1 John 3:4-5 — 4 [a]Whosoever [b]commiteth sin, transgresseth also the Law: for [c]sin is the transgression of the Law. 5 [d]And ye know that he was made manifest, that he might take away our sins, and in him is no sin.
Hebrews 4:15 — 15 [a]For we have not an high Priest, which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all things tempted in like sort, yet without sin.
The pope is referring to Luke 2:46-50
46 And it came to pass three days after, that they found him in the Temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions: 47 And all that heard him, were astonied at his understanding and answers. 48 [a]So when they saw him, they were amazed, and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee with very heavy hearts. 49 Then said he unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must go about my Father’s business? 50 But they understood not the word that he spake to them.
What is very evident is that the pope is equating himself to Jesus Christ by claiming he needed forgiveness. Let’s be clear, Jesus Christ did not need forgiveness, He is God.
John 10:30 — 30 I and my Father are one.
RELATED: The Pope called Jesus Christ a failure and God silenced him
The pope, by equating Jesus Christ with a sinner, desecrated the Holy Scriptures; and on top of that he equates himself as God. How, one might ask? There is clear admission that the pope thinks that Jesus Christ was just a man, when he stated that Jesus “needed for forgiveness from his parents.”
The other is the subliminal message being pushed by the pope. By equating Christ as a sinner, without denying what Jesus did on earth, the pope is essentially claiming that any man can do what Christ did, which then the pope is referencing Christ as if he is just a man who makes mistakes. That can be interpreted as the pope attempting to place himself as high as Christ.
It is all an agenda, the agenda of preparing the people for the Antichrist. This is done by minimizing who Jesus Christ is and equating him with man. When in reality, Jesus Christ was not just a man. He was and is God, there is changing that, there is no denying that. Scripture clearly states that Christ did not sin, and it also clearly states that Jesus Christ is GOD.

Reading one of Nate’s earlier post, he is absolutely right. It is only through reading, studying, and understanding the Bible [the infallible word of GOD] do you recognize those in opposition of the cross.
The religious leader named Francis and the RCC has mocked, blasphemed GOD & our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ in every way imaginable. Not only by his actions [worshiping idols], but by his many statements.
When Francis spoke at St. Patrick’s Cathedral back in September 2015, he said the following “we need to remember that we are followers of Jesus… and his life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross.”
What an absurd statement, Jesus DID NOT fail on the cross. He conquered death and hell. Sadly, Francis comment was ignored by the press and completely overlooked the public at large.
Hey Nate,
The Pope also said in the Vatican Newspaper that, “All religions lead to God.” That would be calling Christ a liar. Research it for yourself. Also in the same publication, he declared that, “It is dangerous for anyone to have a personal relationship with Jesus, with
out the church being involved.” This Pope is straight from the bowels of Hell. Any questions?
True Catholics do not worship the pope, for he is only a man and subject to human error.
Thank you for bringing this article to the surface for all to see. As a traditional Catholic, I do not follow the mainstream post Vatican 2 religion. There have not been any Papal Infallible statements from the Chair of Peter since before that time 40+ years ago.
True Catholics pray the Rosary every day and in the 5th Joyful Mystery we meditate upon the finding of the child Jesus in the Temple and we know He was sinless (always) because He was God ( the second person of the Blessed Trinity).
We, as Teaditional, Faithful Catholics will not be mislead by the Antichrist because we know all the truths taught by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
As Catholics, we have the keys to Heaven , namely Sanctifying Grace which can be found only in the 7 Seven Sacraments contained within the Catholic (Universal) Church, founded by Jesus Christ , not man ( as in Martin Luther ).
As a catholic you are in direct opposition to the bible. Countless verses go in direct opposition to your practices. How can you claim to hold the keys to heaven when you know not the scriptures? It makes no sense whatsoever. You are being mislead by praying the very rosary because you are praying to another deity..
Why did you block my post?
I didn’t block it. It gets held for review, and when it gets held for review I have to manually approve it. It’s to stop spam, sorry for the inconvenience.
If I sin, I don’t have to ask for forgiveness from my parents; I have to ask for forgiveness from GOD.
If I upset my parents (without necessarily committing a sin), I should ask my parents for forgiveness. Let’s say I promised to phone them and then genuinely forgot, causing them to worry needlessly about me. I would say “I’m sorry,” even though no sin was involved. In that case, I wouldn’t have to ask for forgiveness from God.
If I hate Pope Francis and want to twist and turn his words so as to be able to write a post with the headline, “Pope Francis Publicly Equates Himself With God”… I write irrational drivel like this.
You are correct you do ask your parents. However, that is not whats happening here. Jesus didn’t ask for forgiveness. You really have to analyze what is being said here to understand it. The pope is stating that Jesus probably had to ask for forgiveness from his parents for doing “His Father’s business” what does that mean? It means that the pope is implying that Jesus Christ had to ask for forgiveness for being God.. Not only that.. the pope also implied that Jesus needed forgiveness, but the pope didn’t just say that, he said that Jesus probably had to beg for forgiveness… Big difference, it is quite obvious that the pope is referencing Jesus Christ as a sinner in need of forgiveness.. However, the Bible speaks true Jesus did not need forgiveness from anyone; because He gives the forgiveness. Implying that Jesus needs forgiveness from just a man, makes Christ just a man. Again the bible speaks truth, and Jesus is not just a man; He is God, and God doesn’t need forgiveness…
