Pope Baloney the Thirteenth
March 2008, Bible Believers’ Bulletin
Following the usual “blind staggers” of his predecessors, the current Pope (Benedict XVI), last December, led more than 900,000,000 Roman Catholics straight down a blind alley into a dead end. This time the monstrous infidelity of this religious “quack” outdid Karl Marx, and his colossal stupidity surpassed Bozo the Clown.
While pretending to be the visible head of the Body of Christ and claiming to have earned God’s title (“Holy Father”), this incredible hypocrite pulled off a stunt that should have been THE news story of the century. It came and went last December (2007) without one squeak from Campus Crusade, Promise Keepers, Billy Graham, Opus Dei, Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, Chuck Swindoll, Dr. Dobson, Robert Schuller, Time or Newsweek magazines, or CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, FOX, etc.
- ¶ And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
Here, for all humanity to behold, was the professed spiritual leader of “Christendom” demonstrating, in public, before Hindus, Buddhists, Taoists, Protestants, Jews, Mohammedans, and Roman Catholics, that the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and the prophecy of Micah, were a LIE.
Pope Baloney (alias “Benedict”) allowed the “manger scene” in St. Peter’s Square to depict Christ’s birth in Nazareth instead of Bethlehem. This was done in direct defiance of everything the Scriptures said on the subject.
A. When the Messiah showed up, He would be born in Bethlehem, not Nazareth.
- But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
B. The Messiah would be “the son of David,” and David was born in Bethlehem, not in a carpenter’s shop in Nazareth.
- ¶ The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
- And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?
C. David’s grandmother came from Bethlehem, not Nazareth.
- And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
- And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
D. The word Bethlehem means “the house of bread,” so that is from where “the bread of life” came. Nazareth is out: O-U-T, OUT! It is out by more than 60 miles.
E. The Jewish Rabbis and Doctors of the Law, in Christ’s day, knew where He was going to be born and told it to Herod.
- Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
- And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
- Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
- Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
- And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
- And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
- And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
But Pope Benedict the Batty is smarter than Micah, the Holy Spirit, and the Jewish scribes and Pharisees. He can show you that the Messiah was born in Nazareth; although Pius XI, Pius XII, John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, and John Paul II couldn’t. (Evidently their infallible “highnesses” with their “infallible teaching church” had been in total error for twenty centuries.) What a pity that Herod didn’t have access to what Pope Benedict the Bullshooter “knows.” Herod murdered children in the wrong town (Matt. 2:16)! He should have killed all the kids two and under in Nazareth! My, my, what an error! Think what Herod could have done if Pope Benedict the Blockhead could have given him the right information from the Vatican’s “nativity scene.”
- ¶ Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
This is the Catholic Christmas FIASCO that went on, on a worldwide scale, last December, and the whole world took it just as calmly and as cheerfully as a Kraut sipping beer at Octoberfest. But the most startling and terrifying thing about this obvious rejection of every edition of every version of the New Testament (in 1,115 languages), through a period of nearly 2,000 years, is the fact that not one “Christian dignitary” got upset about it. No recognized Christian Protestant or Catholic on earth paid any more attention to it than if the Pope had never displayed it anywhere. All of them had gone into total apostasy where the Scriptures spoke against a Pope, and it didn’t even bother them.
The outcome of this open, international, public rejection of BOTH TESTAMENTS by a religious “quack,” who is honored by every news media outlet on earth, was absolutely nothing. The Pope removed the nativity scene from its setting in Bethlehem (where it has been displayed in every country since Christmas became a holiday) just as neatly as the ACLU removed nativity scenes from 500 public places in the United States.
In the Bible, the “Lamb” lies in a “manger” (instead of a carpenter’s shop), wrapped in the clothes of a dead man, to show that “the Lamb of God . . . taketh away the sin of the world”; “the Lamb” prepared to save four-footed lambs as well as two-footed lambs.
- ¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
- And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
- And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
- And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
- Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
- And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
- The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
- And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
- Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
- And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
- But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Shepherds showed up to find “the good shepherd” in a sheepfold (a manger), not a carpenter’s shop.
- And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
- And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
- I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
This depraved religious dumbbell in Rome had his priests remove the whole Biblical nativity scene to a carpenter’s shop in Nazareth so you would associate HIS “FATHER” WITH JOSEPH. Christ’s “Father” was a “SHEPHERD,” and no Pope ever found that verse with a laser, a telescope, or a searchlight.
- I and my Father are one.
- And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
- For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
- As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
- And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
- I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
- I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.
The only “shepherd” Pope Baloney the 13th found was an “IDOL SHEPHERD” in Zechariah 11:17. It was a reference to him, so the NIV and the NASV removed it to protect him. Once protected, the Pope had a display put up that declared Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Micah, Herod, and the Pharisees were all CONFIRMED LIARS. That is all four Gospels plus “the testimony of Jesus,” because Micah prophesied Christ would be born in Bethlehem.
- Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
- And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
What effect will that have on the UN? Absolutely none. They have already accepted Mohammed’s “nativity scene” that had Jesus Christ being born UNDER A PALM TREE (Sura 19:23 in the Holy Koran), as any student of Islam knows.
What effect will this ghastly perverseness have on the Pope’s “image”? Absolutely none. He will still picture himself (as will all of his Catholic membership) as the “holy father” and the FINAL INTERPRETER of the BIBLE AND TRADITION. He will continue to be revered, honored, and bowed to by every STUPID, ANTI-SCRIPTURAL, BIBLE-REJECTING “CHRISTIAN” ON THE GLOBE.
Benedict XVI split his religious britches from his belt to his ankles and got away with it, still recognized as a “holy man of God.” What he allowed showed that he was nothing but an irreligious, Bible-rejecting LIAR who put Harry Emerson Fosdick, Norman Vincent Peale, Earl Stanley Jones, Joel Osteen, and Mark Twain to shame when it came to unbelief.
What effect will it have on his credibility? Absolutely none. For you see, after allowing his priests to display the Nativity as taking place in Nazareth, the dirty, four-flushing, two-faced, double-speaking hypocrite stated three times in his “homily” for midnight Mass on Christmas Eve that Christ was born in Bethlehem. That way, if anybody called his hand on his anti-scriptural, non-historical, lying nativity scene, he could always say he didn’t actually believe it.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Pope Benedict the Bethlehem Bomber! Bombs away! Pope Benedict the Bankrupt Barbarian, Pope Benedict the Berserk Blackguard, Pope Benedict the Bushwhacking Burglar, Pope Benedict the Bogus Braggart.
You could not find a worse example of a “Christian” on this earth, since ALL sin on this earth began with questioning what God said.
- ¶ Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
- And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
- But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
- And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
