Papacy the Anti-Christ

I did not say that it wasn't taught in the LCMS nor that it was not part of our Statement of Faith. I specifically said that a great many do not accept that this is true anymore, but that, *at one time*, the Seat of the Papacy fulfilled the role of the Anti-Christ. Do not misquote me.

According to C.F.W. Walther a "great many" didn't accept it in his day either.....but they were incorrect.

That's great. Please edit your false OP to continue discussion more honestly.

The OP is honest. You did insist that this doctrine was no longer taught. You further insisted that your LCMS Pastor did not even believe in this doctrine.

You are the one being dishonest here.

I did not. I specifically said that I know that it is part of our doctrine, but that, instead of believing it to still be true, many times we believe it to have been true at the time but that it isn't now. My (old) pastor does not believe it is true anymore. You can keep your false claims. I'll point people who want honesty to the original thread to judge for themselves.

I think this would make a great ecumenical dialog. I am opening up the dialog I had on the Papacy to another since my partner no longer wishes to dialog on this. If you wish to dialog on this then let me know and we can have a prayeful one on one dialog on this issue.

In my view If I was Lutheran I would tend to see the Papacy as the anti-Christ. It seemed Dr. Luther did. However since I am Catholic I view the office as that of the vicar of Christ which is quite a different thing. Let me know if you would like to dialog.

Here is the thread we can continue in a one on one:

It can easily become Catholic/non Catholic dialog on the office of Papacy.

Have a blessed Easter season!
