FYI, Nathan, the point of Matthew 23:2 was the SAME as that claimed by the RCC and the "throne of St. Peter," as like unto the "seat of Moses."
They - the RCC, AND the Pharisees, claim authority they do not have (and in the former case does NOT EXIST) in order to get people to "observe and do" something different from Scripture. From an authority that, without question, in BOTH cases, is NOT the Messiah Himself, by whatever Name.
And I read your link. While I disagree with the author, having known Nehemiah, and his associates, like Baptist evangelical minister Keith Johnson, and Jono Vandor, and Michael Rood, etc.) I find that it is significantly more accurate, and actually quotes the source, than the defamatory screed above.
And I continue to urge those who seek to "rightly divide the Word," to read his take on the translations, and issues with the original Hebrew, for themselves.
