Wouldn’t that be wonderful…if the whole world came to know the TRUE FAITH and received the wonderful GIFT OF SALVATION!! Sadly, that is not the RELIGION that POOP FRANCIS TEACHES. He is after all the POPE OF ROME.
He is not looking to HEAL the BODY OF CHRIST, he is looking to heal the deadly would the Roman Empire Suffered and RESTORE THE ROMAN EMPIRE under the Rule of AntiChrist!
Truly any religion that is not based on THE ALMIGHTY GOD’s plan of SALVATION through the Blood of CHRIST is a PAGAN RELIGION. Therefore, it is easy for ALL OTHER RELIGIONS to UNITE AS ONE. Because Paganism is Paganism. The Devil doesn’t care what gods you serve, as long as it is NOT THE TRUE GOD of the BIBLE.
The only FAITH that cannot COEXIST in the WORLD RELIGION is FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST/Yahushua Ha Mashiach. WE are standing in the way. It is the FAITH and PRAYERS of the Christians that holds back the demonic realm. You know, of course, what that means. The MUST get rid of US!!
The NEW WORLD ORDER is ready for implementation. There will be a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT and ONE RELIGION, because the Bible tells us it will be.
Revelation 13
4And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast:and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Me and Naela are having a SUPER important conversation on THE POWER OF BLOOD! Naela will share the testimony of her journey as an ex-blood witch before she came to Jesus, and how having an ab*ration was her initiation into demonic blood covenant. From there, she became obsessed with using blood ritualistically to manifest her dream life. Because of her past, the Lord gave her a profound revelation on the power of blood covenants. With that, we will be talking about how America is in covenant with Moloch because of the ab*ration epidemic in this country and how women individually come into demonic covenant through this act of child s*crifice. We will get into the profound healing of taking communion, the significance of Jesus’ blood shed on the cross, and the authority of His blood that ALL believers need to know. Talking about the blood should not be taboo as Christians. That’s exactly the complacency the devil wants.

Voodoo Practitioners may say they recognize one supreme entity called Bondye yet they consider him as a hands off entity. They worship numerous other spirits they call Loas. These spirits are the ones they worship in their ceremonies and rituals. They are the ones the voodoo practitioners call on for favor and gifts.Vodou practitioners see the Loas as powerful energies that take care of our everyday affairs, while Bondye stays hands-off. Sure, calling Bondye the ‘God of Vodou’ is a bit of a misnomer, but that doesn’t change how important the spirits are in the lives of Vodou practitioners. They’re the ones honored during all those ceremonies and rituals you might have heard about. Haitian Vodou’s spirits are rooted in African, Caribbean, and indigenous cultures, like those of the Taíno, the Kingdom of Dahomey, and the Congo. omSe practitioners will tell you there are 401 nasyon (families of Loas), and others will mention 101 or 21 nasyon. It’s a way of saying there are a lot of Loas out there, known and unknown. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE THEY WORSHIP THE SAME GOD as CHRISTIANS? Does this sound like the path to the TRUE and LIVING CREATOR GOD?? Especially when you consider that these spirits also often require human sacrifice.

What about the Polynesian/Hawaiian gods, humans were killed and sacrificed to their gods. Human sacrifice was done prior to battles to ensure victory, but also at a designated night every month. Source Source

HINDUISM/Buddhism are wrought with human sacrifice even in our modern world.
Indian cult kills children for goddess
According to Sanal Edamaruku, president of the Indian Rationalist Association, human sacrifice affects most of northern India. According to an unofficial tally by the local newspaper, there have been 28 human sacrifices in western Uttar Pradesh in the last four months. The killings have focused attention on Tantrism, an amalgam of mystical practices that grew out of Hinduism. Tantrism also has adherents among Buddhists and Muslims and, increasingly, in the West, where it is associated with yoga or sexual techniques. It has millions of followers across India, where it originated between the fifth and ninth centuries. Tantrik priests are consulted on everything from marital to bowel problems. Human sacrifices have been made in this region since time immemorial,’ says Prashant, a tantrik who runs a small ‘practice’ from his concrete shell of a home on the outskirts of Bulandshahr. SOURCE
The Tibetan Buddhist Tradition of Sacrifice and Religious Ritual
Tradition of sacrifice The Memba community practices and follows many rituals during their lifetime. They consider these rituals as the only medium through which they can contact the spirit and deities living in this universe. It is a practice where religious actions are performed for their symbolic value. They believe that, they live in a world tamed with malignant, aggressive and violent spirits who if not dealt properly can cause great trouble, for which they have to pacify it by countless offerings and perform various rituals to protect as well as avoid individual or the community from wide range of misfortune to befall. In early days before the introduction of modern medicine, the Memba people did not believe in the perception that illness or accident has a natural cause. They measured it to the work of evil spirits or malevolent deities who wanted to exert control upon them. In order to ward away the evil spirit or deity one had to appease the malevolent deities through worship and ritual. In the Memba community the Lamas plays a vital role of a shaman. He acts as a medium through which the ritual could be successfully achieved. Only a Lama has the knowledge of communication with the spirits that share the natural surrounding with man and his environment. In case if a family member happens to fall ill or some unusual incident occurs, they consult the Lama to determine the cause of the misfortune. The Lama with the help of the sorcerers, oracle and astrology tries to locate the source of the trouble and then suggests remedies required. In order to avert trouble of any kind, a ritual is considered the most effective means of solving it.

MUSLIM/ISLAMIC rituals/sacrific/killings – Islam does recognize the importance of sacrifice, which is interpreted as a way to relate to the sacred and express gratitude to God. In Islam, sacrifice has a dual meaning: the literal offering of a victim and the inward gift of devotion. Source: AI Overview There is evidence that some pagan Arabs killed their own children. Source (as many pagans did) Though they state they have put an end to human sacrifice they seem to have no problems with beheadings and one immolation of those they consider infidels, so called honor killings, which occur with shocking regularity in certain parts of the Middle East and South Asia, target women whose actions—actual or suspected—violate the honor of their families, and female genital mutilation (FGM). Source
In Islam, it is forbidden to kill a person except for prescribed penalty and in a war against an aggression of the enemies of Islam (jihad war). It is so clear to all Mulsim that God does not want a ritual sacrifice of a human that it need not be mentioned in scholarly fiqh. Even animal sacrifice is limited to Eid ul-Adha only. Islam allows (welcomes) that a person sacrifices his own life in a jihad war. Source

Human sacrifice was practiced in China for thousands of years. At a 4,000-year-old cemetery near modern-day Mogou village in northwestern China, archaeologists found hundreds of tombs, some of which held human sacrifices. One sacrificed victim was around 13 years old. Archaeologists have also found thousands of human sacrifices at Shang Dynasty (1600 – 1040 B.C.) sites in the modern-day city of Anyang.
The practice of human sacrifice seems to have stopped or become very rare by the time China was unified in 221 B.C. by Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China. The first emperor’s Terracotta army, made up of thousands of life-size clay warriors, allowed him to take an army with him to the afterlife without sacrificing real-life warriors. SOURCE
Sounds laudible, until you learn that the Chinese government under the leadership of Xi Jinping has been carrying out selective murders of the Uyghur elite. By killing the elite, China intends to annihilate Uyghurs both physically and culturally.Not only the elite, but other Uyghurs too are killed by China on various grounds. Besides, as part of genocidal murders, thousands of Uyghurs are killed for the organ trade. It is well known that China is one of the leading organ supply centers of the world, and, in fact, after many years of denial, Chinese authorities admitted in 2005 to using the organs of executed prisoners for transplants.

We could go on and on and address every single pagan religion and its practices in ancient times and modern. The TRUTH of the matter is that ANY and EVERY religion, group or individual that is not under the blood of Jesus Christ and walking by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT, will always end up practicing DEATH. Why? Because they are of their father, the devil. If you are not in GOD’s Family, you are in the DEVIL’s family. ALL THOSE WHO HATE GOD, LOVE DEATH.

POOP FRANCIS SAYS WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD. BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE.
-
1 John 3:10[10] In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. [11] For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

1 Corinthians 6:9
9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

1 John 4:8
1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
Love Comes from God
7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19We love him, because he first loved us. 20If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
The Parable of the Sower
13 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. 2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. 3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
0 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”
11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
“Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people’s heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’[a]
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
The Parable of the Weeds
24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”

ALL who are of the WORLD can coexist because they are all slaves to demonic spirits. But, those who are free in CHRIST an know the TRUE and LIVING GOD can have no fellowship with the ungodly. We were once slaves, but we have been set free. We will not go back to the kingdom of darkness. He whom the SON set free is FREE INDEED, no longer entangled by the yoke of slavery.

WE ARE NOT ALL CHILDREN OF GOD! ONLY THOSE WHO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST/Yahushua Ha Mashiach
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Paul’s Concern for the Jews
1I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 4Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; 5Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
THOSE THAT ARE CHOSEN OF GOD, WHO ARE FOUND TO BE RIGHTEOUS BY FAITH IN CHRIST, WILL BE THE CHILDREN OF GOD and BE SAVED. THOSE WHO ENDURE TO THE END, by the POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
GOD WILL HAVE MERCY ON THOSE WHOM HE CHOOSES AND THAT IS HE RIGHT!! HE ALONE IS GOD!
God’s Sovereign Choice / (Genesis 25:19-28; Malachi 1:1-5)
6Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. 9For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son. 10And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; 11(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) 12It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
The Calling of the Gentiles
19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 20Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: 28For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
29And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
Israel’s Unbelief
30What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
