I said I don't find anything to disagree with in the WCF.

Draw your own conclusions, but don't quote me incorrectly. It's against the rules.

As Scripture tells us, there are many antiChrists in the world; those men who exalt themselves to the status of God.

Much like all RC priests who call themselves "another Christ," as the RCC teaches.

Much like labeling Mary as the "co-redeemer," as the RCC teaches.

Much like the false bishop of Rome who tells the world he is the head of Christ's church on earth and that he is "infallible" in matters of faith, as the RCC teaches.

Lies, all of them.

WESTMINSTER CONFESSION OF FAITH
Of the Church

VI. There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ.[13] 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 exalts himself, in the Church, against Christ and all that is called God.[14]


**[13] COL 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

EPH 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church.

**[14] MAT 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

2TH 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.

REV 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

False, as has been demonstrated to you over and over again. Perhaps that reality conflicts with sola Cauvin or sola Machen but I do not care. Traditions of Errant Men are of no concern to me.

Amen to your post, Dr.E!

exalt themselves to the status of God.

When mere man says that he is infallible, in any way, he is saying that he is like unto God -- answerable to no one.

Dr. Eckleburg -

There are many Catholics on FR who have tried to explain our faith, year after year. Those who refuse to hear us persist in spreading falsehoods about our beliefs. This attitude is intellectually dishonest, as the Truth is not sought, only the perpetuation of an agenda.

Having been Presbyterian at one time, I can appreciate your citing of the Westminster Catechism. However, since you are not now, nor have you ever been Catholic, please do not lecture us on what our Church believes, unless you are willing to cite the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
