Pope Francis: God is with us and loves us infinitely.

That sounds good, doesn't it? But is this really the truth or is Pope Francis misleading us again? God loves those that live according to HIS LAW while HE will send his beloved Son to judge the nations and every soul according to their deeds! The Pope know it too well, that is why he preach of Saint Paul who contradicts Christ's teachings!

Arguably the biggest contradiction between Christ and Paul is whether a person is saved by Grace/faith or by works.

"Pauline Christianity", which makes up the majority of Christianity around the world, is based on Paul's teachings that a person's salvation has nothing to do with what the person does, only what the person believes, and this has become the cornerstone doctrine of modern Christianity, but Paul clearly was not speaking for Christ when he came up with this...

James 2:24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

That verse doesn't leave any room for ambiguity... In fact, James 2:14-26 clearly explains the necessity for works. 

Some will maybe insist, that God loves everyone the same way! But when you observe scriptures closely, you will know that it is said to “Keep yourselves in God’s love” (Jude 21). Yeshua also commands his disciples to remain in his love (John 15:9), adding: “If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love” (John 15:10)!

“God loves us unconditionally.” As you see, Scripture depicts God’s love as conditioned by obedience!
