wow

What a humiliating day for the US.

Putin had Trump in his pocket today....what a feckless snivelling performance by the man occupying the White House.

And the polls are in......after the private conference with our enemy the Always Trumpsters have decided that Putin is a pretty cool guy

"No prior president has ever abased himself more abjectly before a tyrant. Not only did President Trump fail to speak the truth about an adversary; but speaking for America to the world, our president failed to defend all that makes us who we are — a republic of free people dedicated to the cause of liberty at home and abroad. American presidents must be the champions of that cause if it is to succeed. Americans are waiting and hoping for...

The article is 4 years old, not much has changed. I hope to dispel some of those wacky Pope-power theories.

UN WANTS TO CONTROL CATHOLIC CHURCH

The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child has just released a report on the way the Vatican has responded to the sexual abuse of minors by priests. The 15-page report contains not a single footnote, endnote, or any other mode of attribution. But it does provide plenty of evidence as to its real agenda.

The U.N. panel is using the sexual abuse of minors as a pretext for its true objective: it wants the Vatican to submit to its authority, and not just in instances involving international law—it wants the Catholic Church to change Canon Law and to...

Great Article about the history of the post world war era created and maintained by the US; an archetecture that brought stability to the world and prosperity to the US and its allies; a system Trump is threatening to tear down, as he cozys up with Putin and admires other strongmen:

Europe’s Dependence on the U.S. Was All Part of the Plan - POLITICO https://apple.news/Ap4BKprPOTzmaVVgtIfXrGg

Matt 24:29 is describing the end of the 70th week at His second coming. So if the 6th seal is also at the end of the 70th week (sun, moon, stars) as some might believe, the 7th seal has to be prior to that which makes the seals non-chronological?

Or maybe just maybe, Joel 2:31 and Rev 6:12 are on a separate time line than Matt 24:29, one at the AofD and the other at His second coming. Could it be that "stars" in the sixth seal are fallen angels at the AofD, Rev 12:4, 9? Notice in Matt 24:29 that there is no mention of a blood moon...

Joel 2:31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.

Matt 24:29 "Immediately after the distress of...

The 6th chapter of Hebrews has posed numerous problems in understanding just who is being referenced; as well as the meaning of being unable to be
renewed again to repentance.

The book of Hebrews presents the deity and the preeminence of the Lord Jesus Christ.


My understanding is that the book of Hebrews is written to the believing remnant of Israel. It is written for them in two different time settings. The first setting is when they are scattered following the persecution.

"And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles." Acts 8:1

The second is in...

Simon of Syrene... Why carried he Jesus' cross?

Whatever happened to the simple Gospel message on salvation and heaven and hell? King Jesus is ready to return and we need to be ready to meet Him!! Today you can sit in many of today's "churches" and never hear the words hell, Jesus will return soon, heaven, confess and repent, judgment day is almost here. What you do hear taught is ==I am OK and you are OK lets just all get along and be happy and forget about the Truth of God's Word about sin and it's cost=death and hell.

This is not a SDA refutation thread. It is a SDA scholars refuting SDA thread.

The "Great Controversy” Shackles Adventist Theology

Since the 1911 edition over a 100 years ago, it has not been updated in any form. Thus, the book that historically had been the pace-setter for Adventist theology has become dormant, effectively freezing Adventist theology in its tracks. What this situation has fostered is a perpetuation, and in some instances codification, of many 19th and early 20th century EGW understandings of our world and our place in it which some believe should not be “disturbed.” Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, the book’s subject and viewpoints beg for engagement, both inside and outside the church. There are...

A poster, @Philip James, made the following comment:

Indeed, and all are welcome to come to the wedding feast of the Lamb...
But,
'no one can come to me unless the Father draw him'

What exactly does this mean?
Who does the Father draw?
