[Greek] περιπατέω (peripateō), [Latin] ambulare, [Latin] quarere, [French] demander, [French] marcher, [French] voyager: to walk around, to live, to conduct the walk of life; 97 scriptures
Pope Francis and his fellow Modernists continue to walk with the world in their efforts to remake Jesus’ Church into a worldly synodal Church (in the image of man). Walking with God (in the world) is NOT the same as walking with the world.
Background information:
Greek Hellenism: This term means to walk around, to prowl, to traverse, to have a discourse (walk while teaching), and to argue.
Demosthenes’ Orations 54.7: “I was taking a walk, as my custom was, in the agora with Phanostratus of Cephisia.”
Aristophanes’ Lysistrata 706: “Why do you come in sorrow in your eyes?”
Old Testament: This term means to walk (with God) in the world, to tread, and to go around. Walking with God was very important for the Hellenized Jew who lived outside of Jerusalem.
New Testament: This term means to walk, to conduct oneself, and to live. For purposes of brevity, I will exclude scriptural examples of ordinary walking and focus more on walking away from Jesus (rather than walking with Jesus).
Following the tradition of the elders: Mk.7:5, Mk.12:38, Lk.11:44, Acts 21:21
- Why do you eat a meal with unclean hands? (greater concern for rituals)
- Scribes (in long robes) accepting greetings in the marketplace (more concerned about status)
- You [Pharisees & scribes] are like unseen graves bringing ritual impurity (being exposed for hypocrisy)
- The Jews claim that Paul is not telling Jews to observe their customs
Walking on water: Mt.14:25,29, Jn.6:19
- Mt.14:25: Jesus came toward them, walking on the sea. Peter later attempted to walk on water toward Him, yet began to sink. Jesus said that Peter had little faith.
- Jn.6:19: As the sea was stirred up, the disciples saw Jesus walking on the water. The disciples were afraid. Jesus told them to not be afraid.
The devil prowls around: 1Pet.5:8
- God calls upon one to show humbleness. (This becomes a powerful defense against Satan. Satan hates this!)***[see quote below]
- One must be sober and vigilant about the devil prowling around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
- One must resist the devil with steadfastness in faith.
- One must realize that your fellow believers may undergo the same sufferings.
- God Himself will restore, confirm, and strengthen you after you have suffered a little.
Walking away from Jesus’ Bread of Life discourse: Jn.6:52:71
- Jesus said to His disciples, ‘Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life in you.'”
- The Jews quarreled and murmured among themselves, saying that this is a hard saying.
- But Jesus saw that some would not believe Him.
- Jesus did NOT say to His disciples, “I was just speaking figuratively! Come back!” (Jesus let them go.)
- As a result, many of His disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied Him.
- Mt.6:66: It is quite interesting that this scripture references the disciples returning to their way of lives. (666 references Satan. Is this just a coincidence?)
Walking away from Jesus:
Jn.8:12: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (The scribes and Pharisees brought a woman accused of adultery before Jesus. Jesus forced them to walk away, unable to bring charges against her. Jesus told the woman to SIN NO MORE! Jesus states that NOT following His command (to sin no more) essentially means to walk in darkness.)
2Thess.3:6: “We instruct you to shun any brother who conducts himself in a disorderly way and not according to the tradition they received from us.” (Paul stresses the importance of one’s faith coming from the traditions.)
1Cor.3:5-7: “Put to death, the parts of you that are earthly: immorality, impurity, passion, evil, desire, greed, and idolatry.”
Heb.13:9: “Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teaching.” (Hebrews’ author mostly referred to Jewish food laws and Mosaic sacrificial banquets.)
Those conducting themselves as enemies of the cross of Christ: Col:3:18
- The Jews
- Those who seek such sexual appetites
- Strangers to the gospel
- MORE CONCERNED WITH WORDLY AFFAIRS (secularism, status, worldly values, sin, and evil)
- Who pretend to teach Christ (sounds like practical atheism)
- WHO MIX THE GOSPEL WITH WORLDLY VALUES!!!
- Who refuse to take up his cross for Christ (sounds like cowardly and silent laity and clergy)
- Who are opposed to the doctrines of Christianity
Following Jesus:
Rom.6:4: We might live in newness of life
Rom.8:1: Those who are in Christ Jesus
Rom.8:4: Who live according according to the Spirit
2Cor.5:7: We walk by faith, not by sight
Eph.5:8: You are the light in the Lord
Col.1:10: Live in a manner worthy of the Lord
1Thess.2:12: Conduct yourselves worthy of God
Synod of Synodalities summary statement:
- Encourage increased laity decision-making authority and responsibilities. (Allowing the poorly catechized laity to make decision on doctrine. What could possibly ever go wrong with that?)
- No one should be excluded. (Yet, this involves only 1% of Catholics.)
- Walk and listen to the people. (Bringing in worldly values, paganism, and sin into the Church)
- Seek consensus building. (Does this mean changing and adapting Church doctrine and teachings to accommodate the world?)
- Support and respond to those who are marginalized as a result of fidelity to Church teachings (Does this imply that Church teachings and God are offensive, evil and hateful?)
- Discern together controversial issues and open questions. (Does this mean to change, destigmatize, and normalize sin?)
- Discern together whether a doctrinal issue can or must remain. (Does that mean consensus is more important than doctrine?)
- The faithful cannot err in matters of faith if they can manifest universal consent. (Does that mean laity can also determine doctrine?)****[see quote below]
- Vatican Synod of Synodalities Penitential Celebrations: A church walks together to make up new sins: sin against creation, sin against peace, sin against migrants, sin against poverty, SIN AGAINST SYNODALITY (listening), SIN OF USING DOCTRINES AS STONES TO BE HURLED (in other words, traditional (conservative) Catholics are like Pharisees and stone-throwing Jews).
Conclusion:
Ambulance, march, voyage, voyager, marching, quarry, demand, demanding
Old Testament: It was very important for the Jews (Hebrews) to walk with God in being faithful to Him.
Update: Pope Francis and his inner circle are implementing new human traditions decreeing that Jesus’ Church has become a worldly synodal Church.
The Synod of Synodalities is not promising to uphold Catholic principles. These cardinals, bishops, and priests are walking together with the laity in listening to what the world wants. The clergy and laity are working together to develop new doctrine and theology.
Unfortunately, there currently remains a large percentage of Catholics who do not believe in Jesus’ real presence in the Eucharist. Many have walked away from the faith.
Bishop Strickland, Fr. Missigbeto, and others are walking with God, being faithful to traditional Church teachings. They have been facing opposition and persecution under the Bergoglian Reign of Terror. It seems that Fr. Missigbeto will most likely be the next priest to be removed and canceled.
Pope Francis and fellow Modernists are walking with the world in their outreach to the LGBTQ community, seeking to gratify the community’s desire for the acceptance of homosexuality and same sex unions (desires for the flesh).
Pope Francis’ scandalous and heretical interpretations of the Holy Spirit:
- Pope Francis makes reference to the ‘Holy Spirit of Surprises’ in justifying the approval of non-Catholic and heretical policies at the Synod of Synodalities. (With this logic, anything can approved at this Synod. This notion insults the Holy Spirit, whom that we may abide in truth. [Jn.14:16-18])
- In Papua New Guinea Pope Francis makes reference to the Holy Spirit being challenged by human conditions. (How is the Holy Spirit responsible for man’s condition?)
- Pope Francis stated, “Every religion is a way to arrive to God. Each has a language to arrive at God. Sikh, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, they are different paths.” (This statement is an illustration of the heresy of indifferentism: that all religions are equally valid paths to God.)
