Psalms 89:34

My covenant will I not break, nor the thing that is gone out of my lips.

l14-w-c04quote

In their own Words: think to change times & laws

The Pope is of great authority and power, that he is able to modify, declare, or interpret even divine laws. The Pope can modify divine law, since his power is not of man, but of God, and he acts as vicegerent of God upon earth ... Lucius Ferraris in “Prompta Bibliotheca Canonica” Papa, Article 2 Volume 5 We confess that whatever new thing the Pope ordains, rather it be in Scriptures or not in Scripture, and whatever he commands is true, divine and salvific; and therefore ought to be held by Lay People in greater esteem than the living God. Roman Catholic Confessions for Protestants Oath, Article IV Q: Which is the Sabbath day? A: Saturday is the Sabbath day. Q: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? A: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church in the council of Laodicea (AD 336) transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday. Converts Catechism of Catholic Doctrine Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her: she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day; a change for which there is no scriptural authority. Reverend Steven Keenan’s Doctrinal Catechism That the Church of Rome has shed more innocent blood than any other institution that has ever existed among man kind will be questioned by no Protestant who has a competent knowledge of history.
