The Pope Says God Has - "Eros" - For Man
Pope Benedict XVI said some weird and unbiblical things about God in his 2007 “Lenten Message.” This was reported in a Feb 13 Zenit News Agency article titled, “God Thirsts for Human Love, Pope Says.” His Holiness said:
“On the cross, God’s EROS (emphasis mine) for us is made manifest.”
“Is there more ‘mad EROS’ than that which led the Son of God to make Himself one with us…”
The pope is nuts! “Eros” in its Greek meaning refers to sexual desire – inside or outside of marriage, as well as heterosexual or homosexual. In English, we get our word “erotic” from “eros.”
This is an interesting choice of word because the New Testament NEVER uses the word “eros.” And for good reason!! Trench’s Synonyms of the NT says:
“Eros never occurs in the NT…Their (referring to its corresponding noun and adj) absence, which is significant, is partially explained by the way that the world has corrupted their meanings. These words had become so associated with the idea of sensual passion and carried such an aura of unholiness about them that they were not used in Scripture.”
In Greek mythology, Eros was the son of Aphrodite (the goddess of love), but there are differences as to who the father was! One encyclopedia said:
“Eros was the primordial god responsible for lust, love, and sex; he was also worshipped as a fertility deity…Eros was principally the patron of male love…”
Comment – “The patron of male love.” In ancient Greece, Eros was especially worshipped as the patron god of those men who had sexual relationships with young boys! No wonder the boss of the perverted Roman Catholic priesthood picked such a word. His priests today still worship Eros!!
Roman Catholicism is a counterfeit Christianity. Only antichrist could be brazen enough to say such a horrible thing about God. Please pray that God breaks the teeth of the papacy, and grants many Catholics repentance from Rome and faith ALONE in Jesus Christ for the full and free forgiveness of sins.
