"The Internet offers immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. This is something truly good, a gift from God." –Pope Francis
6:35 PM - 31 Jan 2014
The Internet, while being a tool for good things like proclaiming the Gospel of the biblical Jesus Christ, is also a tool of evil, spreading error and foolishness, not the least of which is Driscoll's junk (here and here).
I can't imagine Spurgeon giving any credibility to the pope:
I can't imagine Spurgeon giving any credibility to the pope:
I am astonished, and yet more astonished when I come to turn it
over, at the want of earnestness that there is in the Protestantism of the
present age. How do you imagine that Cardinal
Wiseman pays for all his splendours, and that the Romish church is supported?
Fools and slow of heart, ye find them much of their wealth. If he is to preach in any place, who is it that crowds the chapel
full, and pays for admission? The Protestants; and the Protestantism of England
is the pay-master of the Pope. I am ashamed that sons of the
Reformers who have Smithfield still in their midst unbuilt upon, should bow
themselves before the beast, and give so much as a single farthing to the
shrine of the devil's firstborn son. Take
heed to yourselves, ye Protestants, lest ye be partakers of her plagues; touch
her not, lest ye be defiled. Give a drachm to her, or a grain of incense to her
censors, ye shall be partakers of her adulteries and partakers of her plagues.
Every time you pass the house of Popery let a curse light upon her head: Thus
saith the Lord:—"Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of
her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto
heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
~Excerpts
from Spurgeon's "War! War! War!"
Spurgeon on the Pope: “Popery is contrary to Christ’s gospel and is the Antichrist
and we ought to pray against it. It should be the daily prayer of every
believer that Antichrist might be hurled like a millstone into the flood and
for Christ because it wounds Christ, because it robs Christ of His glory,
because it puts sacramental efficacy in the place of His atonement and lifts a
piece of bread into the place of the Savior and a few drops of water into the
place of the Holy Spirit and puts a mere fallible man like ourselves up as the
Vicar of Christ on earth....”
No, instead Driscoll wants to find "good" in that which is of Satan. God will not be mocked though. The God of Scripture is the God of TRUTH and HE said that no lie is of the truth; that there is right and wrong, black and white, good and evil---no middle ground. The Roman Catholic Church and its popes are blasphemous God haters and aren't worthy of quoting in any favorable way.
Period.
As an aside, I found the majority of comments back to Driscoll surprisingly dead on and frankly, Driscoll asked for it considering his immature and unbiblical tomfoolery (and typical of his mentor John Piper, he answers no one--this is what I call a hit-and-run tweet)....
