The vicar (or in Biblical terms head of the king's house) is an office in the Davidic Kingdom. I get that you guys may not understand the fact that Jesus Christ is a King in the line of David, and His Kingdom is a Davidic Kingdom. Question. Is Jesus Christ today physically sitting on His thrown here on earth; or is He now left to prepare a place for us in His heavenly Kingdom? Last I checked, Jesus ascended into heaven and left us a Church here on earth. A visible Church, that He has mandated to go throughout the world proclaiming His Gospel. That visible Church in the New Testament had "vicars" that we call the Apostles, and she had a chief "vicar' that was St. Peter. And yes these Apostles and especially St. Peter had the authority of Jesus Christ here on earth. This hasn't changed. Today those who have succeeded the Apostles still carry the authority of Christ, they are His vicars, until Jesus returns.

@EmiteRose @DrShayPhD Lol... That's the meaning of vicar ...

Calling any man the Vicar of Christ is blasphemy. God never appointed a substitute for Christ. When Jesus returned to heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit, not a pope.

@theoscholastica No mention of it being a sacrifice? Have you ever been to a celebration of the current Roman rite?

@EmiteRose Reducing the Mass to a meal and no mention of a propitiatory Sacrifice, like what Luther did, isn't Protestant? sspx.org/en/news/new-ma…

Fully Catholic yet contains Neo-Protestant language and influence.

@DrShayPhD @Johzbohz Again, only you are using the language of "substitute", "replace" and now "taking His place", not I. See previous post.

@EmiteRose @Johzbohz False. “He who hears you hears me” is about representing His message, not taking His place. There’s a big difference between speaking for Christ and standing in His place.

Perfect example of why there is so much lost in modern sects that don't have a great grasp on Scripture. Let me ask you a question? If one gives authority to speak for them, ie. preach, and forgive or retain sins, then does that not mean that one that is given that authority represents the one who has given that authority? Let it be known, that a) I'm not using the words "substitute" nor "replace" with are poor words to use. In the Davidic kingdom, the chief steward, head or vicar of the king's household, did not replace the king nor was he a substitute of that king, but rather he exercised the authority that was given to him by the king to deal with mundane matters while the king was sitting upon his throne. But when the king was away, the king gave his chief steward, head or vicar (whichever word you prefer) authority over his kingdom while he was away. This was represented as giving the keys to the kingdom, and with the language of what doors you open no one will shut, and whatever doors you close no one will open. Anyway, since the Kingdom of Christ is modeled after the Davidic Kingdom, Jesus knew that when He left to go and prepare a place for us in the kingdom of heaven, He left us vicars, steward or heads (whatever word you prefer) with the His authority to watch over His kingdom here on earth. In Christ's Church, the pope is head, vicar or steward over the whole Church through St. Peter, but bishops are vicars over their dioceses, pastors over their parishes, etc. I would assume you have a similar model in your sect as well. Do you not have a pastor or parish council that has authority over the church you attend?

@EmiteRose False. Those verses show authority to preach and forgive through Christ, not replace Him. None of them call anyone a “vicar” or put a man in Christ’s position.

@kethdarrell No one makes anyone do anything. This is something they came up with in the location. If you would ask the Church, the Church would not look upon this kindly.

So thankful for the Protestant Reformation and the Gospel of Grace. Catholics rage at “It is finished,” making their people do stupid stuff.

@FoundAMoron Okay put her in jail and go after the rest of Congress. Because she isn’t the only one.

Apparently Ilhan Omar and her husband (not the brother husband) are BOTH under investigation because neither one can seem to explain how they went from being broke, to being worth 30M+ in ONE year on Ilhan’s public servant salary and his failing ventures.

@Johzbohz @DrShayPhD Christ appointed vicars.

@EmiteRose @DrShayPhD So Christ appointed a substitute... Okay

@StandPoints_ @Pontifex Get behind me Satan!!!

This is the result of the ceremonial church — tradition‑driven church, calendar‑driven church, even pagan‑influenced church practices. They fixed dates like Christmas and Easter, and over time it turned Christianity into a seasonal celebration instead of a daily walk with God. Now the church is suffering for it, because people wait for events instead of living in relationship with Christ every day.

Christ is risen from the dead, and with him, we too rise to new life! This Easter proclamation embraces the mystery of our lives and the destiny of history, reaching us even in the depths of death. #Easter

So I’m responding to Kelly’s childish response before he/she blocked me, with one thing. At some point find a searchable Bible online and ask it to search for the word father. You will find that the Scripture writers, which I hope we both agree are inspired, use the term father quite often when not referring to God the Father. Are all these Scripture writers sinning Kelly? Or is it that you don’t understand what Jesus is saying here? I would go with the latter.

@DrShayPhD @kellymarierago Yeah, that is what all sects say.

The Bible has nothing flattering to say about the papal system. It does not present it as a champion of God’s work. It warns, it exposes, it calls people out of deception. You won’t find the word “Catholic” or “Papal Rome” in Scripture. That’s not how prophecy works. It gives descriptions, not labels. Daniel and Revelation were written long before that name existed. Besides, God still has sincere people in that system who have not seen the full truth yet, and will come out. But the system prophecy points to is obviously Papal Rome. Papal Rome is also the beast power (first beast, man of sin, son of perdition, the wh*re). Every identifying mark lines up. It is not just one, and not just two, all of them. Scripture says that the Papal Power receives its authority from Satan [Revelation 13:2]. History shows how it operated during the Dark Ages, control over conscience, persecution, forced religion. Rome has been quietly amassing power and control again. It is ruthless and that ruthless pattern will return again in full force. Papal Rome presents itself as holy. It looks sacred. It speaks like it represents God, however, it does not. It is a system built on authority that competes with God’s Word. Judgment is coming for Rome and everything built on deception will be destroyed. No exception. This is not about attacking people. It is about warning them. Come to Jesus. Know Him for yourself. Turn from anything that stands against His Word. Once you know the real Christ, you won’t stay in a system that tries to replace Him.

@anglochog What can we say? There are just as many idiots in our hierarchy as there is in yours. The only difference the Catholic Church doesn’t give them the authority to make these changes, no matter how much they want to.

Checking in on the Romanists...

@Taylor_A_Eaton Yeah, that doesn’t work.

The best way to refute Roman Catholicism? Just smile and continue to point them to the Bible (the actual authority, whether it’s recognized or not).

@kellymarierago @DrShayPhD No, we were taught DIRECTLY BY Jesus. That is the difference.

@EmiteRose @DrShayPhD Wow, you guys knew better than Jesus! Incredible

@DrShayPhD @kellymarierago A) there is this thing called Webster dictionary and Adventists fit within multiple definitions of the term.

@EmiteRose @kellymarierago Then enlighten us. What is a sect and explain how Adventists fit the definition?

@DrShayPhD At least you admit that your sect isn’t the one in Scripture founded by Christ Himself. Only one Church can make that claim on historical basis; the Catholic Church. So again why on this sacred time why have you decided it was a good thing to denigrate the Church of Christ?

@EmiteRose You’re right, you won’t find “Adventist” in the Bible. That’s the point. Prophecy warns about systems that oppose truth, not those that follow it. Show me one verse that warns against keeping God’s commandments and the faith of Jesus [Revelation 14:12].

@AzPetrich Oh! You were there when he was here in the flesh?

Just a reminder for Christian's celebrating Easter this week. Jesus looked like the guy in the first picture - not the second.

@kellymarierago @DrShayPhD I’m not sure you understand what a sect is. We’ve been doing Biblical baptisms before there was a NT.

@EmiteRose @DrShayPhD Not everyone has a sect, frankly, both sides are jacked up. But r you guys at least doing biblical baptisms yet? Or just the baby sprinkle

@Deep_biblestudy Well his position is true. It’s the Fathers who left us the Bible.

Roman Catholics love the word of God so much, they literally denounce the authority the word of God has at any possible, feasible, moment.
