I'm curious, do you know longer believe the Pope is the anti-Christ or do you still believe it and just not publicly acknowledge it?
I was never given a direct answer on that, despite several requests. I can certainly understand why one might be ashamed to speak of such a belief.
I do not find anything untoward in the 1647 Westminster Confession of Faith.
There are many Antichrists. Any man who presumes to tell other men that he is infallible in anything, let alone something so important as our Christian faith, is not speaking the truth. Instead that person is glorifying himself at the expense of the only teacher we have on earth -- the Holy Spirit who works according to God's will by giving us a correct understanding of the Scriptures.
I am not afraid to declare the pope an imposter. He is not the head of Christ's church on earth. Christ alone holds that rank. Christ, as the head of the body, rules the universal church.
"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." -- Colossians 1:18
As anyone who can read can see and understand, Rome denies this fact by declaring that the bishops, with the pope as their head, rule the universal church...
883 "The college or body of bishops has no authority unless united with the Roman Pontiff, Peter's successor, as its head." As such, this college has "supreme and full authority over the universal Church; but this power cannot be exercised without the agreement of the Roman Pontiff."404882 The Pope, Bishop of Rome and Peter's successor, "is the perpetual and visible source and foundation of the unity both of the bishops and of the whole company of the faithful."402 "For the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered."403
No pope is the "vicar of Christ."
No king but Christ.
