| Pope as the AntiChrist
Recently, a brother had made remarks about supporting the 1689 with only minor exceptions. When asked what these were, one of his responses was : Quote: |
The 1689 declares the Pope as the Anti-Christ and as a Christian, I can’t dogmatically claim that although he may an anti-christ.
| I was wondering if anyone would care to comment on their agreement with the statements in both confessions which declare this : Quote: |
The Lord Jesus Christ is the Head of the church, in whom, by the appointment of the Father, all power for the calling, institution, order or government of the church, is invested in a supreme and sovereign manner; neither can the Pope of Rome in any sense be head thereof, but is that antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the church against Christ, and all that is called God; whom the Lord shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. 1689 BCOF 26.4

There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ: nor can the Pope of Rome in any sense be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the Church against Christ, and all that is called God. WCOF 25.6
