Views On Pope
The Confession of Faith taught the typical Protestant view of the time that the Pope is antichrist.
26.4. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Head of the church, in whom, by the appointment of the Father, all power for the calling, institution, order or government of the church, is invested in a supreme and sovereign manner; neither can the Pope of Rome in any sense be head thereof, but is that antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the church against Christ.Read more about this topic: 1689 Baptist Confession Of Faith
Famous quotes containing the words views and/or pope:
“It is even more grim and wild than you had anticipated, a damp and intricate wilderness, in the spring everywhere wet and miry. The aspect of the country, indeed, is universally stern and savage, excepting the distant views of the forest from hills, and the lake prospects, which are mild and civilizing in a degree.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense,
And love th’offender, yet detest th’offence?”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
