Thanks for replying NL. Iscool said Protestants have no
problem finding the seat of Moses in the OT.
Why doesn’t he post the verses? Reason, Catholics are right. The literal “seat” of Moses is not written in the OT. Jesus is speaking of an oral teaching, tradition. “Bible Alone” is false.
“According to Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees occupy “Moses’ seat” (Matt. 23:2), having the authority and ability to interpret the law of Moses correctly; here “seat” is both a metaphor for judicial authority and also a reference to a LITERAL stone seat in the front of many synagogues that would be occupied by an authoritative teacher of the law.”

Well of course it's a metaphor...Did you think Jesus was speaking of a polished mahogany, gold inlaid throne that the Pharisees passed from generation to generation like your religion does???
The 'seat' was wherever Moses sat down (or stood) to teach and judge the Tribes of Israel...
And it can be found all over the OT...
