You Can Be The Pope And Still Go To Hell
Popeness never saves. Even Peter, the so-called "first pope", needed to trust in Christ for salvation. Being the pope could never pay sin's penalty. There is no other payment for sin. Zero in on Christ's death on the cross. That and that alone.
Earth's best without the atonement of Christ would still be exposed to God's judgment. Religion, robes and rituals cannot replace redemption. Hell will not be empty of the respected, the revered, and the religious—it will be filled with those who rejected the righteousness of Another.
Don’t trust in position. Don’t trust in piety. Trust in the Person—Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
