Question 15 (point 8)
Point 8 says the Beast is led by one supreme man. Does the Papacy fit this description?
Bible
Revelation 13:18
Answer
The Roman Catholic Church is headed by one single man, the Pope. The church claims that he stands in God’s place. They wrote, “The Pope is of so great authority and power that he can modify..divine law, since his power is not of man, but of God" Lucius Ferraris, Prompta Bibliotheca, Papa, II, Vol. VI, p. 29. The Protestant Reformers were correct in identifying the Papacy as the Anti Christ Beast of the Bible. Most of our protestant churches today have forgotten this important fact. The 1260 year period is often refered to as "The Dark Ages" because the Bible was forbidden to the people. Dark Ages is an appropriate name because without the "light" of God's word people are in darkness.
