In the Reformation 500 Winter Conference held February 2nd-4th, 2017, Christ Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Church (RPCGA) presented several lectures pertaining to the subject matter of the Westminster Confession that says (WCF 25:6):

There is no other Head of the Church but the Lord Jesus Christ (Eph 1:22; Col 1:18): nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense be head thereof; but is that Antichrist, that man of sin and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the Church against Christ, and all that is called God (Mat 23:8-10; 2 Thes 2:3-4, 8-9; Rev 13:6).

Links and embedded audio players have been added for your convenience. We encourage you to listen to these helpful lectures. Notes for each lecture can be found here.

5. A Brief History of the Papacy (Mr. Thomas Allie)

6. Antichrist in the Epistles of John and the Apocalypse (Rev. Todd Ruddell)

[Antichrist] shall be a master of sin and all iniquity, and yet will retain the name and appearance of Christ and call himself “most holy one; vicar of God; head of the Church,” and persecute all who will not obey him… the pope more than fits this description.

— Martin Luther Men would have us more modest than to call the Pope Antichrist; but as long as he doth exercise a tyranny over the conscience, we shall never give over that term.

— Thomas Manton
