Who said the pope was Christian? Not by biblical standards anyhow. He’s a catholic. Jesus Christ was deposed as the leader of the church, and is why the Christian church doesn’t need a human representative: Jesus never gave up his throne, and he didn’t offer it to anyone. This is what he did give to the church:
Eph 4:11-13 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ
Pope is nowhere in the equation, and the concept of pope is absent from the gospels, and the pastoral/general epistles.
No wonder pedophiles in the catholic clergy is so rampant. Jesus said “By their fruits, you shall know them”.
“Who said the pope was Christian? Not by biblical standards anyhow. He’s a catholic. “
PING to NYer.
“Jesus never gave up his throne, and he didn’t offer it to anyone. This is what he did give to the church:”
He couldn’t, he is Jesus, but He DID say to Peter: Upon this rock YOU will build My Church.
I know all the heresies. You don’t need to sling verses. I’m not persuaded.
Besides, this is way off topic.
"As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction." 2 Peter 3:16
