Pope Francis will grant a plenary indulgence – a remission of all temporal punishment due to sin – to World Youth Day Catholic participants, the Vatican announced July 9.
The head of the Church’s Apostolic Penitentiary, Cardinal Manuel Monteiro de Castro, and its secretary, Bishop Krzysztof Nykiel, released a decree on July 9 that says the Pope will grant it during the July 22-29 event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
“The young people and the faithful who are adequately prepared will obtain the Plenary Indulgence, once a day and under the usual conditions (sacramental Confession, Eucharistic communion and prayer in accordance with the intentions of the Holy Father), applicable also to the souls of deceased faithful,” states the decree published July 9.
The document adds that people who cannot attend World Youth Day can receive it “under the usual spiritual, sacramental and prayer conditions, in a spirit of filial submission to the Roman Pontiff.”
This will be for Catholics who “in any place and between the indicated days, with a contrite heart raise devout prayers to God, concluding with the official prayer of the World Youth Day.”
They will also need to invoke “the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Brazil (with the title Nossa Senhora da Conceicao Aparecida) as well as other patrons and intercessors of the same meeting, that they may encourage the young to reinforce their faith and lead a holy life.”
The granting of indulgences by the Pope comes from Jesus’ response to Peter, the first Pope, when he proclaimed that Jesus is “the Christ, the Son of the living God” in Matthew 16.
Jesus replied to Peter, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

My comment:
The Pope acts like a medium between men and God, claiming to be the very replacement of Jesus on Earth, the “Vicar of Christ”. The Bible explains that God the Holy Spirit is the only replacement for Jesus on Earth. Surely, a topic for another article.
For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.
The Bible says there is only one mediator between God and men, and that in Jesus the Messiah. Neither two, nor three. No need for a Pope, no need for a co-matrix, a not existing “Queen of Heaven”.
To demand submission to the Pope, or/and his Queen of Heaven, to get sins forgiven is utter non sense.
As a Christians leader, my duty is the lead people to Jesus the Messiah. Only He can forgive sins. My duty is to know the scripture, and explain to people where they live in sin. And if they refuse to repent, and continue to purposely live in sin, there will be no forgiveness. Heaven will be looked up, blessings not released.
If people who live in bondage as slaves of sin repent, their bondage on earth will be loosened. And the blessings that were meant for them, but was bound in Heaven, will be released.
To continue telling the World that Peter was the the “first Pope”, is blasphemy and a grave sin. So a priesthood that keeps on telling this lie, will them selves not be forgiven, before they correct their ways and repent.
Let us decode this Roman Catholic pack of lies, one point at the time.
1. Peter was a Jew, who was called to preach to the Jews. He traveled eastward from Jerusalem, and preached to Jews who lived in the diaspora in Babylonia, or Parthia.
She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark.
2. There is no scriptural prof that Peter ever was in Rome. In Paul’s letter to new Christians in Rome, Peter is not even mentioned.
3. Peter was a married man, and would today be excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church, failing to follow the doctrines of the Papacy, not being qualified to be a Bishop.
4. Peter lived in Israel in the first century, around 200 years before there even was a Roman Catholic Church. The RCC was formed after the Pagan Emperor of Rome claimed he had converted to Christianity, around 315 A.D.
5. There was no agreement before 315 A.D, among the synods in the Middle East and Christian North Africa, that a bishop placed in pagan Rome should be treated as a superior Bishop, and the global leader of the Church. Such a seat was considered to be a pagan installation, and a possible seat of an anti-Christ.
6. The Thomas Church in India knew no Bishop of Rome. Evangelical Christians in India lived happily beyond the authority of Rome up till 1.500 A.D. Than the Catholic Portuguese invaded the Indian Oceans, attacked this Biblical church, split it, and forced large part of it to summit to the Papacy.
To see blessings from Heaven, we all have to renounce the evil of the Vatican priesthood. The foundation of the papacy is build on religious fraud. The fruits of this religious movement, will be thereafter.

I should be noted that before 315AD there was no trinitatian Doctrine as this is also the lies and commandments of men promogulated by this false church/religious institution
Dear heir elect
Shalom, and love in Jesus.
There is basically no need for a “trinitarian” doctrine. You just have to acknowledge that God is One, and comes to us in three persons. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
When God the Son was baptized, God the Father spoke from heaven, and God the Holy Spirit materialized as a dove. Three in One. Always in agreement and eternal.
There is a lot of deception around. Lot of people who teach wrong about the character and nature of God. So be careful, not worshiping in a “Church” with people who worship an idol, or pure fiction.

Michael Heiser discusses some stuff…
– the Israelite conception of a pantheon and how that works within the context of monotheism
– how Trinitarianism didn’t come out of the clear blue – it came from the Old Testament reveals “The Christian Godhead!!!!!!!!!”
Craig. I will not permit deception to be distributed on this blog. Kindly accept that you will not be permitted to publish external links. Editor.
Dear Graig.
Shalom.
I understand that you have not come to this site to debate. Please prove me wrong.
Kindly explain this scripture for me:
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Here is an explanation:- It is a prophetic picture of Christ to come on to the earth as the only begotten son of God. That takes care of ” a child is born” and “to us a son is given”. The “government” is the kingdom (or government) that Christ will rule over for a thousand years, before handing it back to his Father.: “Wonderful Counsellor”- He was the greatest teacher ever to walk the earth! I wouldn’t have thought that would need ‘explaining’! “Mighty God” – He is the most powerful created being in the universe, having made all other ‘things’ with the aid of God’s power. You will notice he is not called almighty; that title belongs to Yehowah God alone. “Everlasting Father”- Father means life giver. By the sacrifice of his human life he made it possible for humans to one day inherit EVERLASTING life on a perfect earth. So in that sense he is our life giver. ” prince of Peace”-
Dear Peter.
Shalom.

My comment:
Jesus is not created. God is not created. God is the creator. Father, Son and Holy Spirit is the creator God. If Jesus is not the Creator, equal to Father God, “Jesus” is not God at all. And those who worship a created being, are idol worshipers.
I worship Jesus as Creator God. And all true Christians should do the same.
What you have written is Arianism. The theological view of heretic movements like the Jehovah Witnesses.
This is the truth:
John 1:1
[ The Word became flesh ] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
What about Isaiah 53 which is not read by the Jews. I have heard Dr. Hocking teach (who is of Jewish heritage) say it is because of the holocaust which was horrific! Even so, they think it applies to them (never again), but Isaiah 53 is all about Messiah Jesus who took our sin upon himself. We all crucified Jesus! How else could the world be saved? The glorious gospel is to be preached to the Jew first and also to the Gentiles, heathen, Greek, uncircumcised, However you want to call non Jews. The Apostle Paul says this, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16. What is the gospel? Paul again says, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and wherein you stand; By which also YOU ARE SAVED if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain, For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES; AND THAT HE WAS BURIED AND THAT HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
The Holy Spirit is the; POWER, INFLUENCE, and ESSENCE of GOD ALMIGHTY & ETERNAL. Persons is ? ???????????????
The Holy Spirit is: Affirmed as divine, Called God, Joined with the Father and the Son, Eternal, Omnipotent, Omniscient, omnipresent, Creator, Sovereign, New Creation. The Holy spirit: Regenerates, Indwells, Anoints, Baptizes, Guides, Empowers, Sanctifies, Bears witness, Helps, Gives joy, Comforts, Illuminates the mind, Reveals things of God, It was Promised, Received by the disciples, Received by Gentiles, It is a gift, it comforts, it testifies. Paul says, “what? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? 1Corinthians 6:19. Jesus said, “Destroy this temple, and in three days, I will raise it up.” Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and will thou rear it up in three days? but he spake of his body. John 2:19-21 The Holy Spirit was given after the resurrection. There is no physical temple for our bodies are the temples of The Holy Ghost for believer’s only. The Jews always resisted the Holy Ghost (see Acts :48-51) because they have rejected their Messiah-Jesus (see Psalm 118:22). But they still have time to change their mind, and I pray they do and they will be grafted back into the original olive tree (see Romans 11:21-24) Amen!
Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
