17This is My command to you: Love one another. 18If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. 19If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.…

Pope Francis was elected on March 13, 2013. Since then, this man has had a tremendous effect upon the entire world. Winning the respect and admiration of atheists, homosexuals, and seeking to win over the affections of both conservative and liberal Catholics, this man has much to do with the unification of the world under his rule. He has called Muslims "our brothers" and fought to win over Orthodox Christians. And yes, he has even had his hand in unifying Protestants together with the Catholic Church. He is the author of the world renowned encyclical on climate change "Laudato Si", whose principles are embodied in the Paris Climate Agreement. Currently, there are 194 nations that are in agreement with him.
However, Pope Francis has much to do with Bible prophecy. He is an antichrist. He is openly leading the United States of America, and the rest of the world, into open rebellion against the God of heaven.

What do you mean by (Sunday Laws) and how could it be the mark of the beast?

So I just googled it and this is just seventh day adventist propaganda.

"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ." Colossians 2:16-17

So.. All is good. He does work for peace, respecting and understanding each other.
However, Pope Francis has much to do with Bible prophecy. He is an antichrist. He is openly leading the United States of America, and the rest of the world, into open rebellion against the God of heaven.
And *bam* he is the antichrist. Why? There is no logic tie between your two paragraphs.

Well, I'm certainly not a Seventh-Day Adventist. However, there is truth to the Sunday Laws being the mark of the beast. It's been long prophesied that this was going to happen, and railed against that it would never happen. Check out the video if you haven't already. The proof is there. It's just a matter of people realizing that there is really a problem, and the choice has to be made -- Christ, or this world.
Also, Romans 14:5 is talking about fasting days, as we know the Pharisees had a problem, and even the disciples of John. This is why food is mentioned as well.
Colossians 2:16-17 is not talking about the 10 Commandments. The idea that it is, is just a rejection of the 7th Day Sabbath. People gather on Sundays, and cite Hebrews 10:25. The problem is, is that people are keeping the wrong day holy. They must choose the Sabbath Day to keep holy, not a day which is not sanctified by Scriptures.

No, not all is good. People hated Christ because of the truth. The idea that the world would gather under this man means something is wrong.
Luke 6:26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
He is loved. True followers will not be loved by a Satan controlled world.

I thought Christians were to make every day holy
If you are under the law then you will have to be judged by the law, the law condemns
If you are under the Christ, then you are free from the law
Please explain in detail why you think we as Christians must still be beholden to the laws of Moses and Israel, why you think christianns should still be Jews
There are many anti christs, what makes you think this one is anyone more special, why all the fear preaching

Did you speak to Luke and ask what he meant...a Millennium ago, I guess not, or perhaps even the word 'all' is deceptive used in the English...whatever, you chose a passage riven with several possible explanations as an answer, that is deception...and possibly that's what Luke might even have meant, that is to say it was intended that it was the people..'all men' (and probably not meaning everyone at all, but men of ill will, or deceptive men) he was calling out. Such misguidedness just to hide sectarianism.

He is loved. True followers will not be loved by a Satan controlled world.
That will come later. After the abomination of desolation and the proclaiming of the anti-christ .In the beginning , he will be loved by most everyone for bringing peace to the world. Except the ones that wait and watch .And I say he figuratively , as it could be anyone.
However , it appears this Pope is more than he seems.

Antichrist has already stepped foot onto this earth, and has been here for over 1,000 years. There are many antichrists.
The abomination that maketh desolate is already set up. It's the Papacy.

It's not possible to make everyday holy, because you must do this:
Exodus 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Of course this is referring to secular work, not the work of miracles or the work of sharing the truth. All secular work must be abandoned on the Sabbath.
You aren't free from obeying the law. You're free from the condemnation that would naturally occur when you break the law. But when you break it, you repent, and get back up, and do your absolute best to remain obedient. That's why Paul explained, He did serve the law, but he had no more condemnation.
Romans 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
If we walk after the Spirit, we will do the promptings of the Spirit. And of course, the Spirit lead Christ to keep the law, so of course He would lead us to do the same.
I don't think Christians should still be Jews. But Christians believe it's wrong to break the other nine commandments, and even think that in some way they are keeping the Sabbath, because they are not forsaking the assembling together when they go to church on the first day of the week. But you have the wrong day, and that's what must be reformed.
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
As for fear preaching, I am doing the work of exposing the man of sin, as we are called to do. If you do not, and you consider that fear preaching, I am sorry, but you are wrong.
