Nothing more disgusting than Romanism.

[Right Divider]

Watching the Fox News coverage of the election of the new "Pope", I'm reminded that there is nothing more disgusting than the Romanist religion.

The title of "Pope" is a completely and totally BLASPHEMOUS idea that should be abhorred by all Christians.

Even the Fox New reporters that are pretty good overall... are fawning over this whole process and it's totally disgusting and grotesque.

The papacy is the throne of David.

Matthew 16:18-19 echoes Isaiah 22:22

Christ succeeded Moses, Melchizedek and King David, all in one throne.
$$ Lu 1:32
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
$$ Lu 1:33
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

$$ Mr 4:30
And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
$$ Mr 4:31
[It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
$$ Mr 4:32
But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

$$ Ac 28:30
And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
$$ Ac 28:31
Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

$$ Col 1:12
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
$$ Col 1:13
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son:

19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

The kingdom of the Jews is on earth. Did you not read that right there? And their kingdom is on hold.

The papacy is the throne of David.

Again... (for about the millionth time) Christ is NOT doing anything with ISRAEL at the present time and your "churches" attempts to usurp THEIR (Israel's) position is INVALID.

Matthew 16:18-19 echoes Isaiah 22:22

Neither relates to what Christ is doing TODAY.

Pointless and irrelevant... like your FALSE religion.

Christ succeeded Moses, Melchizedek and King David, all in one throne.

Christ's throne on the earth of related to ISRAEL and NOT the body of Christ.

WE, the body of Christ, are NOT to know Jesus Christ AFTER THE FLESH.

2Cor 5:16 (AKJV/PCE)​

(5:16) Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we [him] no more. ​

Your FALSE religion has made you stupid.

You guys aren't wrong about the dispensational errors that Catholics make but boy does it feel like that's small potatoes in comparison to the rest of the Roman Catholic faith.

Dispensational critiques make sense when addressing Southern Baptist or Church of Christ doctrine, where the problems often are misplaced distinctions between Israel and the Church or misreadings of prophetic timelines, but Roman Catholicism operates on a completely different axis. It doesn’t merely mishandle Scripture’s timeline or miss important twists in the plot line of the New Testament, it introduces a parallel authority structure, replaces Christ’s sufficiency with a sacramental system and priesthood, and replaces the authority of Scripture with church tradition and the Magisterium.

Dispensational issues definitely do lead to confusion and fragmentation within evangelical circles, all of which certainly do affect Catholic doctrines, but Catholicism goes well beyond that and establishes a fundamentally different gospel; a gospel that binds people to a church rather than to Christ. Their errors aren't just timeline distortions or misplaced Israel/Church distinctions, their christology, soteriology and bibliology is fundamentally different. They redefine grace, justification, and divine authority (and several other things) to a such a degree that it is an almost entirely different religion.

Quibbling over dispensational issues seems like straightening the picture frames in a burning house.

They put themselves in that position by not believing or reading the Bible. As such, they don't know he isn't talking to us. It is right there in the text, and we owe it to them. And yes, the worship of Mary sends people to hell. Starting with the last Pope.

Come on @Clete ... really? You cannot possibly believe that my biggest beef with the Romanists is their dispensational error. You don't really think that, do you? Did you even read the OP?

In post #4 I was specifically responding to something said in post #2.

I will repeat this: The title of "Pope" is a completely and totally BLASPHEMOUS idea that should be abhorred by all Christians.

One of the main problems with them is they reject scripture. They only accept what a priest will tell them. It’s why they’re stuck with eat my flesh and drink my blood and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven. They can’t move past it because the priesthood doesn’t tell them anything else.

One of the main problems with them is they reject scripture.

That is almost the top issue with the RCC.... They claim to believe that scripture and "their" tradition are equal... but in reality.... "their" tradition ALWAYS trumps scripture.

Speaking of flawed Christian tradition, Paul Felter has a new video up today.

I didn't intend to imply that you thought that it was the biggest problem with Catholicism.
Maybe I'm just in a weird mood but reading the dispensational arguments just struck me as being like a guy showing up at Walmart with nothing but underwear on and someone complaining that he's got too much hair on his back. Maybe he does but that's not really the problem at hand.

Again, I was responding to a specific statement from our resident Cathaholic.

 

[Halster]

Would you say your issue is more with the role of the Pope itself, or with broader Catholic doctrine? There are lots of different critiques, some focus on papal infallibility, others on the sacramental system. Clarifying that might help this discussion be more than just venting
