One of the matters from men's 'leaven' doctrines the new babe in Christ should be careful of, are men's traditions from the old Protestant Reformers. Now don't get me wrong, I am a Protestant Christian, my ancestors came to the Americas in the 17th century having fled France as huguenots (first French protestants). They fled persecutions by the Catholic Church that was trying to stamp out the Protestant movement of the Reformation. So I definitely am not a Catholic, nor pro-Catholic. I side with the old Reformers.
But TODAY, just what is the purpose of still pushing the old Reformer's ideas of their day, that the Roman pope was the Antichrist prophesied for the end of this world? Did the end of the world happen in the days of those old Reformers like Martin Luther? No. The pope wasn't the Antichrist for the end either. Nor is a pope going to be the coming Antichrist prophesied for the end of this world either. Why?...
Because no pope can become The Messiah of The Bible which MUST be from the tribe of Judah, and of the house of David! In Matthew 24:23-26 Lord Jesus was warning us about a false-Messiah. The Greek word pseudochristos is used for KJV "false Christs". Yet the context of those verses are actually SINGULAR, and is about a singular false-Messiah that is to appear in Jerusalem at the end of this world, and work great signs and wonders, that IF... it were possible, would deceive even His very elect.
Dr. James Strong in his Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, defined that Greek word pseudochristos (NT:5580) as "a spurious Messiah". It's because that word is actually made up from 2 Greek words, pseudo which means false, and christos which means a singular Christ. And the word Christ means The Messiah of Old Testament prophecy, and applies only to The Son of God.
The old Reformers when they were being attacked by the Catholics and their pope back during the Protestant rebellion, thought the tribulation was coming upon them back then. So they thought the pope then represented the Biblical Antichrist prophesied to come at the end of this world. Well, the end of the world did not happen in their day, so the pope was NOT the Antichrist prophesied to come.
However, the Protestant Churches today that still push that old Reformer doctrine about a pope as the Antichrist is still being pushed today as propaganda. And it is a very convenient tool used by Jews who want the Church to stay away from pointing to fallen Jerusalem being where the prophesied Antichrist is to appear, and set himself up as God there, with a new Jewish temple.
The pagan Roman empire didn't just persecute Christians in its history, the Romans also persecuted Jews at one point too. Not only that, but the later Roman Church ended outward powers of groups it had once supported, like the Knights Templar. The Roman Church also has worked against world Communism. Thus the Roman Church has plenty of haters. And I say that not as a supporter of the Roman Church, because I don't accept many of their man-made doctrines, nor their pope, and not even their organized Levitical type priest system, which The New Covenant gives no authority for, and definitely not Mary worship, nor praying to dead saints.
The pope and the Catholic system can be no more the root of the Antichrist than any other globalist organization working towards a "one world government" over all peoples and nations today. And a pope definitely can never... be The Messiah, Jesus Christ. Any system working against Christ today can inherit the "many antichrists" label, or "spirit of antichrist" label, but not 'the' "antichrist" label, which can only apply to a fake Christ, because the Greek for the word "antichrist" means the 'instead of Christ', or 'in place of Christ'.
Therefore, I find it very surprising that those pushing the old Reformers ideas today can think they are so smart with their false theories that the pope is the Antichrist, when Biblically that is an impossibility, and only reveals their Biblical ignorance of Jesus' warning about the coming of a false-Messiah that will attempt to be Jesus Christ Himself. Those actually show that they do not understand The New Testament prophetic Scripture at all! They only reveal their 'old' hatred against the Catholic Church and the pope office, so much so, that they actually reveal they probably have a secret agenda.
I believe that secret agenda originates from the false Jews, not Christians, but false ones that have crept in. Whatever it takes to keep your attention on Rome, and off of Jerusalem involving the events for the end, appears to be their ploy.
