I am not Protestant, and I don't expect you to understand the Orthodox faith, no where have I ever said I don't put my trust in Christ. You are assuming this based on whatever you have been taught about priests.
I am also not Catholic, while we do have a Pope and we are the first to use the word Pope to designate who we defer to for most of the decision the Pope is just another bishop and all our bishops must discuss any decisions being made. I am Coptic Orthodox. Our Pope is H.H. Pope Tawadros II.
If you go to whatever denomination church you attend, let's say your Baptist, does that mean your pastor is a substitute Jesus? Your pastor makes all the decisions for that church does he not? He is seen as the head representation of it, is he not? So that must mean he is a substitute Jesus right?
Do you see how ridiculous your point you are trying to make when you are putting your own logic into it. No where have I mentioned anything about our priests, bishops, or even Pope being equal to Christ or whatever it is your trying to get at.

That screams deception. The pope is a lie.

So, a substitue Jesus? Am I doing this right?
