Pope Declares Atheists who "Do Good" are Saved!

-
"Pope Francis rocked some religious and atheist minds today when he declared that everyone was
redeemed through Jesus, including atheists.
During his homily at Wednesday Mass in Rome, Francis emphasized the importance of "doing good" as a principle that unites all humanity, and a "culture of encounter" to support peace.
Using scripture from the Gospel of Mark, Francis explained how upset Jesus' disciples were that someone outside their group was doing good, according to a report from Vatican Radio."

My Take:

    If this is not enough proof that Roman Catholicism is painting a "wide" and "broad" path to Heaven, I don't know what is. Jesus clearly says:  “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it." (Matthew 7:13)
The Pope's declaration that even Atheists (people who don't even believe in God) are saved is ridiculous! This is a type of universalism teaching, that all people regardless of their beliefs will get into Heaven.
    Jesus was very clear when it came to how a person enters Heaven:
  •  "Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
  • "he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit;" (Titus 3:5)
  • "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2:8,9)  
What the Pope says about even Atheists "doing good" to enter Heaven, is a direct contradiction to the teachings of Jesus. Even though the Pope uses Scripture to try and prove his point, it is badly twisted and taken out of context! This would make sense for a Jesuit Pope! 
Even further and surprisingly, it contradicts traditional Catholic teaching which says: "Outside the Catholic Church" there is no salvation (CCC 846).

Are There Any Errors in the Bible?

-
By Norman L. Geisler The Bible cannot err, since it is God's Word, and God cannot err. This does not mean there are no difficulties in the Bible. But the difficulties are not due to God's perfect revelation, but to our imperfect understanding of it. The history of Bible criticism reveals that the Bible has no errors, but the critics do. Most problems fall into one of the following categories.   Check the rest out at: http://www.4truth.net/fourtruthpbbible.aspx?pageid=8589952771

Does Hell Exist, if so Why?

Questions and Objections About Hell 1. "A God of love would never send anybody to Hell." I find it very interesting that so many people are confident that God is so loving. Where does mankind get the idea that God loves the whole world, including sinners? –The Buddhist scriptures, the Tripitaka ? No. It's not taught there. –The Hindu Vedas ? No. No loving God there. –The Qur'an ? Nope. Allah loves everyone except sinners. The idea that God is a loving, merciful, forgiving God comes from the Bible. It is the Bible alone, amongst these books, that presents God as gracious, loving, merciful and forgiving of sinners. People get their idea that God is loving from the very same book that teaches us about Hell! The problem though is that people want to treat the Bible like a salad bar. “Oh yeah, I’ll have a little bit of that, a scoop of that. Oh, I don’t like that. Ewww, none of that.” They do that with God! "Yeah, I’ll take some of the love. I’ll pass on the...

Creator, Cosmos, and Human Destiny

Why are we here? And where are we going? Does science have an answer to these two most fundamental questions of human existence? Can mankind determine and direct the future of life on earth purely by scientific means?    This excuse-shattering exposé of Darwin and Dawkins is the Dave Hunt magnum opus you’ve been waiting (and praying) for! Each of Dave’s seminal works—whether on occultism, Catholicism, Calvinism, ecumenism, Islam, or cosmic evolution, have all been, at the time of their publication, his “most important work to date”—and this 608-page refutation of Darwinian evolution (as championed by Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and today’s aggressive “New Atheists”) is no exception.
