VICAR OF CHRIST: ANOTHER CHRIST AND ANOTHER GOD

By Ryan Hicks

One of the many blasphemous titles given to the Pope is the title of "Vicar of Christ" (for another see The Unholy Father). This title comes from the title used by Constantine, Vicarius Christi. "Vicarius" or "Vicar" means "a substitute" or "another" (See any Dictionary: Oxford, Random House, American, Webster's, etc.). Thus, the title "Vicar of Christ" means "a substitute for Christ" or "another Christ."

All Catholics and Protestants are in agreement that Christ is God, and that makes this title all the more blasphemous; because then it means "a substitute for God" or "another God." It must also be noted for the sincere Catholic that in Greek the title "Vicar of Christ" is "anti-christos" or "anti-Christ" (See Strong's #473 & 5547).

According to the Lord Jesus Christ in John 14:16 He was going to send "another Comforter" or another One in His place, the Holy Spirit. The Pope is not a spirit-being, nor is he God the Spirit. The only one that can be "a substitute for Christ" is the Holy Spirit, and that is according to Jesus' Own words (and Jesus does know infinitely more than the Pope).

Now surely any Catholic who is sincerely wanting to please God can see that a title such as "Vicar of Christ" is utterly blasphemous and heretical. You cannot blindly serve your Church and submit to your Pope in a good conscience after knowing this truth. You must choose to serve the God (Christ) of the Bible or the man-made substitute for Christ, the Pope.

Please do not look at this as anti-Catholic, as I have nothing but love in my heart for the dear people bound by the false religion of Roman Catholicism. If I did not care for Catholics I would say nothing and let you continue down a path that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ said ends in eternal separation from God in hell. Yet, I am truly concerned for the many precious Catholics that I have met who truly want to serve God, but have been taught man-made religion and are spiritually bound to it. They do not have the glorious freedom that comes from being truly born-again and the freedom from sin found only through faith in Christ alone. My heart's desire is that many Catholics will see the error of their Church's ways and choose the Bible and God over man and self.

Please open your heart to Him and ask the Father in Jesus' name to save you from all sin (Mt. 1:21). Then find a good Bible believing church that exalts God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and not a Catholic Church (which exalts Mary, Joseph, saints, the Pope, etc.). Study the Bible, and let the Holy Spirit lead you into all truth (Jn. 14:26; 16:13). Please feel free to call, write, or e-mail us. We would be happy to pray for you and/or get you material to help you in your walk with the True Christ.
