Interesting but... The Pope visiting the USA this week standing under: 'In God We Trust' as politicians fawn over and professing Christians hero worship...surely THE MAN OF SIN deceives even those who are 'believers' today rather than looking for some atheistic future man?
Wycliffe, Tyndale, Luther, Calvin, Cranmer; in the seventeenth century, Bunyan, the translators of the King James Bible and the men who published the Westminster and Baptist confessions of Faith; Sir Isaac Newton, ...Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards; and more recently Charles Spurgeon, J.C. Ryle and Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones; these men among countless others, all saw the office of the Papacy as the antichrist. - Michael de Semlyen, All Roads Lead to Rome, p. 205, 1991
'There is no other head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ. 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." - Original Westminster Confession of Faith 25:6 |
