Was the Pope misrepresented/ misquoted?

Shocking: There Is No Hell Fire; Adam & Eve Not Real ––– Pope Francis Exposes

Seriously?! 
             Blog, this cant be true, not the Pope. I'm sure someone must be misrepresenting him and misquoting the man who holds the lives and future of millions in his hands. A single word from him will be accepted by his followers as a divine revelation. That said, it is inconceivable that he of all people would disregard the original divine Word, the holy text that he has sworn to follow and uphold all his life, the Bible that is the very core of his being and the guide for his every breath.      
          No, blog, it cant be true that the latest Pope should suddenly upturn the beliefs and teachings of the very Church he represents. he is quoted as stating - "God is changing and evolving as we are,..." I'm sure he can quote the scriptures better than me, Blog, so whoever scripted his speech has forgotten that the Pope knows Numbers 23:19God is not a human being, that he should lie, or a mortal, that he should change his mind." 
          And I know for sure the Pope remembers I Samuel 15: 29 - He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind, for He is not Man, that He should change His mind."
 So how can an unchangeable God, 'evolve' with us?

                 If God has sworn that the penalty for sin is death, then it is. But, because He loved the world so much, he couldn't bear that all us sinful people should face eternal Death, then He, in His great love for us, will make a way out for us...but NOT by 'evolving 'with us, and joining us in our madness. If God is going change with us, then Blog, what security do we have? 
             No, the Way out, had to be a sacrifice, (and I think, all religions will agree with me on this, that a sacrifice is always required, someway or the other). I agree with the Pope here when he said "“All religions are true,..."       
            And the Pope knows the Bible says that Jesus was the perfect and only sacrifice acceptable to God, (  Romans 3: 24 onwards  - they are now justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement* by his blood, effective through faith. He did this to show his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed; 26it was to prove at the present time that he himself is righteous and that he justifies the one who has faith in Jesus.*)

       So Blog, we know that God cannot change, and that He loves us unconditionally, with no distinctions of race, creed, caste or the bad choices we may make in life, and His way out of our spiraling madness, confusion, chaos and 'building walls between ourselves', is Jesus, and the Pope knows this.
