“I ask again.”
I’ll ask YOU again. Why are you in rebellion of “Pope” Gregory’s judgment of the apocrypha as well as his views which contradict Rome’s claims of primacy? If Gregory, being a supposed “Pope,” did not view Rome as supreme and openly condemned the concept of the ‘Universal Bishop’ that his successor would later embrace, why should you condemn me for agreeing with him? If I submit to Gregory, or to the Bishop of Alexandria of those days, I can’t submit to Rome’s authority which is called anti-Christ by those men. You, by definition, are in heresy, and therefore have no authority.
Put me back in the days of Ignatius, who told us that the highest officer in the Church was the Bishop so far as they agreed with the Apostles, and not on any Papal authority that requires we submit to them despite their contradicting of the Apostles.
So you won’t submit then. I thought so.
Call me when you actually advance arguments that you believe are authoritative and we can have a substantive discussion.
“why should you condemn me for agreeing with him?”
If you sincerely agreed with him you would submit to one of the three. Since you are not in submission to any of the three, I can only conclude that you don’t really agree with him.
You don’t believe you should submit to anyone other than yourself. Which is fine, but let’s at least be honest about where you stand.
