Some more updates on Vicarius
Filii dei Koot van Wyk Whether the document Donatio
Constantini is a fake is not important. The document was not created by Seventh
Day Adventists and neither did they enter the words Vicarius fili dei in the
document. They have not invented the Roman counting system and they have not
asked or invented the title vicarius fili dei. They have not conspire the
letters to add up exactly to 666, a fact that is admitted by Catholics in their
New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia on internet. Adventists raise the question to
Catholics that if they want to deny the reality of the document do they think
that pope Leo IXth made a mistake in 1054 CE to base his sovereignity in heaven
and earth on this document? Did the pope make a mistake? Is the pope fallible?
If that pope was fallible what about the modern one? This is exactly the point
of the Seventh Day Adventists, namely that this title was claimed and used by
at least one pope in 1054 CE. Long before there were a formal Seventh Day
Adventist movement or organization, a pope during the period of the
pax-Vaticana stretching between 538 CE and 1798 CE used it. This identification
cannot be severed from the papal system of the catholic church regardless how
much they protest the situation. For them to deny this title they have to deny
their own theology.

Someone in the site www.666beast.net is trying to be inventive and creative but that will
not succeed in covering-up the key identification of the Catholic papacy system
with their theology of the replacement of Christ in atonement with their
liturgical act of eucharist. In the Catholic eucharis the role of the Holy
Spirit as vicarius filii dei is usurped by that papacy function since their
beginning. Get hold of the book by Edwin de Kock who in his 1000 pages on the
666 = vicarius filii dei goes case by case outside Adventism, inside Adventism
(including Bacchiochi and his favorite students on this issue) way back in the
history of the papacy until modern times. They even discovered a third edition
of Helvig's book in 1630 which Froom et al knew nothing about. The old
Adventist position on vicarius filii dei still stands according to my own
research and I will not be swayed for I know what I saw. Please study deeply
and you will join me. I am sure.
Someone wrote that
vicarius filii dei do not contain an identification of the son of
sin/perdiction but it does. In the act and theology of the papal eucharist the
papacy functions and usurp the role that is allocated to the Holy Spirit by
Christ to be His representative on earth and is taking on the title and
theological liturgical act of vicarius filii dei when the bread actually change
into the real body of Christ and only he [papacy and clerics] has the right to
administer this for immediate salvation to the faithful and in no other way
absolutely. This is vicarius filii dei and the Latin letters are not letters
but numbers for in the name is the numbers and you count them with a plus, plus
equal action, which is what Revelation 13:18 asks you to do. Whether Bacchiochi
or any professor said that VFD is not any longer valid, do not pay attention to
what they said. Study for yourself. I am frank to say that brother Myers was
very creative and I like his artistic mathematics and his attempt to chiasm
over the Book of Revelation but it has the bad effect that it shifts
"hermeneutics" meanings from his superimposed structure and not from
the text itself. There are other super-chiasm scholars in Daniel and Revelation
in Adventism currently as well but they went overboard. I myself loved chaism
research and William Shea and I would amuse each other with our findings in the
past. These Revelation structural approach is done without a proper Ancient
Near Eastern and Old Testament understanding of chiasm. Brother Myers. I have
to send you back to the work-table for more homework and more investigation.
Remember one principle: if your lifestyle is according tot the Word of God then
your way of thinking will also be according tot he Word of God. If your
thinking is according tot the Word of God then the way your go about writing
and researching the Word of God will also be correct and the final product of
your study will line-up with the Word of God. And recognized by the faithful as
such.
