>Christ is the head of our(His, really) church, and He is fully man and fully God. The Old Testament is a figure of the new, and the New Testament of our Lord Jesus Christ reveals it.
>The kingdom of God, which Christ is King of, is figured by the Davidic kingdom. As testified by the Scriptures, the Pope is the Prime Minister who is granted the keys to the gates of the kingdom by the King in His absence.
>Mt16:19
>>And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
So, another church founded by even another apostles like Andrew bounded not in heaven because its not Peter's?
>Is 22:20-22
>>"Then it will come about in that day, That I will summon My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, And I will clothe him with your tunic And tie your sash securely about him. I will entrust him with your authority, And he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. "Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, When he opens no one will shut, When he shuts no one will open
>please read the context of both, I don't want to make my post filled with quotes. It will be evident that those are parallel texts, and that Christ intentionally used the language to make it evident, the office of Prime Minister of the kingdom of God has successors, and Peter was instituted and his successors were instituted to lead (John 21:15-18. more parallelism) His visible church on earth, while Christ is absent. As the Prime Minister would if his king was absent.
What? Christ = GOD = Omnipresent. Why are you saying He's absence? And as his vicar, its vice, so its pope = God-substitute? I dont understand.
>as for Mary, well we should take this one step at a time. you being outside the Church of God is a very big subject that we should take slowly.
Im a Christian, not Maryian and other necromancies.
