>"Once i am dead, workship this man shrouded in gold as my vicar.

My Vicar will be super special and above you all!Can Catholics point me the evangelical sources that justify pic related?
>>18102179How do you explain 1 Corinthians 4:15, anon? Obviously if a person becomes one with Jesus Christ — as is the point of the Holy Communion — and partakes in Grace by abiding the Gospel, he can be called father, as Paul claims here to be through Christ JesusAs for the "worshipping part", do you mean "worship" as in "adoration" ("ta'abod", or "latreuo") or "worship" as in "veneration" ("ka'abed" or "dulio")? Because one is indeed proscribed but the other is not; the latter is even required in the Fifth of the Ten Commandments. (and why I hate most translations of the Bible in English including the KJV for using "worship" instead of clarifying in which sense it is used)
>>18102179They don't just call him father, they call him "holy father". Clearly the Antichrist.
>>18102179Still better than being a Zionist Credo baptist cuck.
>>18102285>How do you explain 1 Corinthians 4:15, anon? Paul is not "father" as a religious title, which is what Christ's command concerns. Paul is using fatherhood as a metaphor for his evangelism and establishment of the Corinthian church; we do not have a case of him being addressed as "father". The meaning of Christ's words is not that the word father may never be used in reference to anyone but God, but that it is not to be held as a title by the leaders of the Church. This is apparent by the context wherein He rejects other religious titles i.e. rabbi. The use of this term as a title for the Roman priesthood is a plain example of the Roman church running over the commands of Christ, making the word of God of no effect by their traditions of men.>As for the "worshipping part", do you mean "worship" as in "adoration" ("ta'abod", or "latreuo") or "worship" as in "veneration" ("ka'abed" or "dulio")? This distinction is utterly without difference and unknown to the word of God. The honor required by the 5th commandment is not religious in nature, but civil. The Romanists obliterate the first two commandments, and make the recognition and rejection of idolatry impossible. It is clear that they are guilty of idolatry because they are incapable of finding any distinction besides the object between themselves and pagans. One worships Mary, the other worships Vishnu, and there is no other difference to be found.
>>18102310>Separates civil context from religious context in each argumentIn the Kingdom to come and the context of the Old and New Testament, they're both one and the same. You are performing mental gymnastics unbecoming of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
>>18102321No, they aren't.>You are performing mental gymnastics Mind boggling projection
>>18102390I reiterate: there was no separation between religious and civil duty in the Ancient World, especially in Hebraic society. This is a modernist, recent, heathen projection of secular values unto the preserved Word of Our Lord.
>>18102411Yes, there was. To distinguish between civil and religious contexts is not modernist nor secularist. To tell the difference between saluting the president of the United States, and worshipping a god, is to have common sense. Not to be a modernist.
>>18102414Rulers were seen as divinely ordained(or divine themselves) in ancient times. Laws were presented as given by the gods. Temples had both religious and economic civil functions.
>>18102414WrongSee Imperial Rome and countless other examples
>>181024231. This is true of paganism but not Christianity 2. For a ruler to be divinely ordained does not imply he is a religious and not civil official>>18102444The early Church completely rejected and refused to participate in the imperial cult however.
>>18102531>The early Church completely rejected and refused to participate in the imperial cult howeverAnd then became the Imperial Cult Do you even history bro?
