The Lord (not the Pope) is the head of his church (Eph 1:22; 5:23).
The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek [Ps. 110:4].
@@@@vs doesn't support claim, AGAIN!
Argument ignored preemptive statements:
Christ is the head and works through the church.
Ignores Eph 4 arguments already presented.
Typical self declaration from an ignorant fool hoping someone finds him smart. @@@@@
"Here is another very important truth: the Lord Jesus is a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. This is developed in the Epistle to the Hebrews, because it is one of the greatest truths in the Word of God. At this point let me lift out just one portion from Hebrews: “As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec” (Heb. 5:6–10). The priesthood of the Lord Jesus is superior to the Aaronic or Levitical priesthood of the Old Testament. These verses show both the deity and the humanity of the Lord Jesus Christ." McGee, J. Vernon: Thru the Bible Commentary. electronic ed. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1997, c1981, S. 2:835
SD: [Christ is the head of his church….The statement is true or it is false.]

.nice move to find someone that could speak semi intelligently on the topic since you can't. Yes Christ is the headnof The Church, and not even Rome disagrees with that. No have already explained why he answered as He dis. You had no response.
All of this is just another evasion that you have no answer for why Christ's ministry is fashioned after a priesthood when you claimed there was no call for priests. Also add the commonly accepted belief that the o.t. is foreshadowing for the new, and trace the leaders of man for God building up to Christ and you will see that a priesthood is a dominant theme. Also consult the earliest of Church histories and you are wrong again. See of McGee made any thing you can cut and paste that explains why you are a total manipulative, and ignorant bigot. You can't answer that question wither. @@@@
"Blasphemy is the act of claiming for oneself the attributes and rights of God. Pope Benedict
@@@@damned liar. Their claim is to be head of God's Church on earth. Stop editing out crucial points to justify your bigotry. That is why they proclaim that infallibility thing, only when the geoup meets together and the Pope makes a decisionon some topic,the Pope speaks for God as the message is led to Him by the Spirit of God. You are a hatebmomgering self important weasel of a human.@@@@
and previous poses have claimed to be Holy Father, Head of the Church, Vicar of Christ Infallible Teacher and the Highest Priest (Pontificus Maxims)--five titles reserved for the triune God..." Full text:
