Interesting discussion in the comment chain! And wow, what a wonderful youtube video posted! Amazing! It seems to go really well with the stench of some previously used quotes taking up space in the quote bag! Excuse the mess while the spot is cleaned and reorganized! Reconcile them if you may!
the papacy says:
the pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God. ferraris' ecclesiastical dictionary
the vicar of the incarnate Son of God, anointed high priest, and supreme temporal ruler [the pope], sat in his tribunal, impartially to judge between nation and nation, between people and prince between sovereign and subject. henry cardinal manning "the temporal power of the vicar of Jesus Christ" 1862 pg. 46
the Bible says:
I and the father are one!... The Jews answered Him, saying, We do not stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself God. John 10:30,33
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. Revelation 13:6
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Matthew 23:9
One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Ephesians 4:5
the papacy says:
all names which in the Scriptures are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that he is over the church, all the same names are applied to the pope. cardinal bellarmine on the authority of councils vol 2 pg 266
the Bible says:
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:5
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matthew 24:23-24
the papacy says:
the roman pontiff judges all men, but is judged by no one. We declare, arrest, define and pronounce: To be subject to the roman pontiff is to every creature altogether necessary for salvation...that which was spoken of Christ...i have the authority of the King of kings. i am all and above all so that God himself and i, the vicar of God, have but one consistency, and i am able to do all that God can do. What therefore, can you make of me but God? pope boniface viii in his bull nuam sanctam
he can pronounce sentences and judgements in contradiction to the rights of nations, to the law of God and man... he can free himself from the commands of the apostles, he being their superior, and from the rules of the old testament... the pope has power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ. decretal de translation episcop. cap. the roman "decretalia" describing the pope
this judicial authority will even include the power to pardon sin. "catholic encyclopedia" vol 12 article "pope" page 265
the Bible says (who does the "he" in Daniel refer to, by the way? What do Daniel chapters 2, 7, and 9 talk of? How about Revelation chapters 13 and 17? Are these papacy quotes directly antithetical to Scripture? Is there a word for this characteristic?):
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Daniel 7:25
And seeing their faith, He said to him, Man, your sins are forgiven you. And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason,saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, except God alone? Luke 5:20-21
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Isaiah 8:20
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hebrews 13:8
Who would have thought that this many quotes were stuck in the little corner of the quote bag? And in such antithetical parallelism too?! Sometimes its good to recycle!
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15
