Pope Francis has never shied away from provocative statements or launching in new directions. But this time he seems to have gone all the way. Pope Francis recently proclaimed “a different gospel” (Galatians 1:6).

During a three-day visit to Singapore, Pope Francis declared that “all religions are a path to God.” He boldly proclaimed, “There’s only one God, and each of us has a language to arrive at God. Some are Sheik, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, and they are different paths (to God).”

Someone in the Secretariat of State thought that remark needed a little massage, though, so the official Vatican translation added a verb and something that is either a participle or a gerundive, depending on how you diagram the sentence: “All religions are seen as paths trying to reach God.”

After a day or so of online invective and—presumably—more than a little back-and-forth within the Comms apparatus, a new translation appeared: “All religions are paths to God.”

If Francis and the official Vatican are correct, then Jesus was wrong when He stated,

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me” John 14:6

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16

Jesus did not die on the cross to provide “one more way” of getting to God. He died for our sins because it was the only way we could be reconciled to our Father in Heaven.

“God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them” 2 Corinthians 5:19

It is only through Christ that anyone can be reconciled to the Father. There simply is no other way, period.

“If righteousness could be gained through the Law, Christ died for nothing” Galatians 2:21

In other words, if a person could get to God without Christ, the Father would never have sent His only Son to suffer the agony of crucifixion for our salvation.

Pope Francis proclaimed a counterfeit gospel in Singapore. It is “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:8) The pope’s teaching smacks of Universalism rather than Christianity. This false teaching completely contradicts the wisdom of the Gospel and the truth of Scripture and reveals that the Catholic church is an apostate church with most of the other denominational churches. Jesus said this would be a major end-times sign indicating His return is near.

Pope Francis sounded more like a politician than a prophet in Singapore. If you attempt to reduce Christianity to the level of every other religion, you strip it of its core tenets. There is only One God, and He is triune. And there is only one Gospel, and “it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16).

The world wants Christians to embrace the false gospel that Pope Francis unashamedly presented as truth. The big question is could Pope Francis be the Biblical prophesied end times False Prophet?
