- Did Jesus make the "pope" rule over the Church? -
The pope is not God, he is a man, a sinful man in need of salvation. To argue for the supremacy of one man is to argue for the usurpation of the role of deity.

Matthew 16:15-16: "...Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God".
1 Peter 2:6: "...I lay in Sion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded".
Ephesians 2:20: "...Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone".

If these verses are true, then why is it necessary to transfer titles that belong to Christ to the papacy? "Holy Father" is a title reserved for God Himself.

- Must Christians confess their sins to a priest? -
All believers had been given the right to access God through Christ, and are able to go directly to God in prayer. 1 Timothy 2:5 ("For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus") instructs everyone to confess their sins to Christ alone.
God's grace brings us the faith necessary to trust the God Jesus Christ. We pass out of death into life. The Christian must react vigorously to the idea that it is necessary to go through an individual who carries you through specific steps when we have these verses:

1 John 2:1-2: "And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world".

2 Corinthians 5:18: "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation".

And so the Christian relies solely upon the grace of God and the forgiveness which is in Jesus Christ. There is no command to enumerate sins; no command for contrition; no command for satisfaction. God is not saying that anyone has the power to forgive sins in a priestly sense of confessional. Instead, it teaches that when we preach, we are doing exactly what Christ's Father send Him to do. If men recognize themselves as criminals who deserve to be punished and appropriate divine justice satisfied upon Jesus, then they are reborn. Forgiveness of sins is granted to the believer who accepts these two conditions. The entire system of priestly intermediacy between the individual and God usurps the role of the Holy Spirit and of Jesus Christ as our advocate and places a sinful man in the position of acting in the place of Christ when he has no power to do that.

John 20:23: “Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained”.
Mark 1:15: “…repent ye, and believe the gospel”.

- Is the doctrine of Purgatory biblical? -
In the New Testament, the doctrine of Purgatory is unknown. It is not mentioned. It was a later invention of Catholic theology. This turned out to be the biggest money-making machine in the history of Catholic doctrine, mainly, to actually sell indulgences. If the sinner must pay for the punishment of his sins, then Jesus didn’t pay it all.

1 John 1:7: “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin”.
Hebrews 10:14: “For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified”.
1 John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”.

If you are a true believer, to be absent from your body, which is dead, is to be at home with the Lord, not purgatory. There is no suggestion of a place named “Purgatory”. What we are essentially dealing with here is the general imputation of the prayers, the saints, of the “virgin” Mary to the Benefit of the souls suffering in Purgatory, and that is something you won’t find in the New Testament.

2 Corinthians 5:8: “We are confident, I say, and willing rather be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord”.
Philippians 1:23: “For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better”.
