In other words, you become the arbiter of what is right and wrong. Which was the result of eating the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Before that, the test for Adam and Eve was... Are you going to comply with my authority. Don't eat of that tree. So you think you don't need the 9...

You believe that the weekly cycle, observed by the entire planet for thousands of years before Moses, was not a reminder of the Sabbath? Explain why in languages antecedent to Hebrew, expressed the 7 th day of the week as a day of rest, even in some cases naming it rest?

Of course you would have a direct source to the authority upon which such a change was made right?

Revelation 13:16 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, Revelation 13:16 reveals that the earth beast compels "all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave" to receive a mark on their right...

I'm curious still concerning the mark of the beast, regardless where you go with it. It still belongs to the beast, and no-one who opposes Sabbath keeping has ventured to identify the mysterious beast whose mark is an implant/tattoo/ last identifier etc etc.

I'm sorry, but are we talking about JWs here, or me?

Except can you show me one person who rests from his secular labour every day in order to spend time in worship and spiritual activities? Because that is the purpose of the Sabbath Commandment. It's a relational thing. Time spent with Jesus. I know you mean we rest in Christ as our Saviour and...

Adventists do not believe the mark of the beast is a bar code, or a card or implant giving freedom to financial activity. This may absolutely happen, but it isn't the mark. It's the mark of the beast. The financial constraints to be placed upon those who refuse the mark are incentives. They...

Okay, 2 points. One, who told you I was afraid? I'm actually looking forward to that day as it ushers in the second coming of Jesus, and all these issues will ceased to exist. Second. The Catholics church admits herself that Sunday is a mark of her authority. She boasts of this by the very...

The church of England does not have harlot daughters. Rome does. Protestant churches are now going back to mother. China is not an unfaithful church. The harlot is. The harlot in Hosea that he was to marry was a metaphor for Israel. God's people. The same metaphor works in the NT as well. ...

You are completely denying history. The 4 horns that grew from the leopard after the first one was broken, were also kings. Why changed the trajectory and symbolism half way through the prophecy? After a series of battles after Alexander's demise, and having no heir, the Empire was divided into...

Maybe so, but you are considering only one or 2 sins. Violence. What of idolatry? What of adultery? What of covetousness? What of disrespect toward parents? What of...

The first beast of revelation 13 coming out of the sea is so obviously the papacy it defies common sense to think it could be any other. It is a composite of the previous 4 beasts before it's rise to power toward the end of the Roman Empire in Europe in the 6 th century.

Spiritualizing everything as you do blinds you to political and religious realities that affect the church. One example. The Dragon stood before the woman to devour the child as soon as it was born. (Revelation 12). The Dragon according to that same chapter primarily represents Satan. But Satan...

I wouldn't count on that. King John several hundred years ago signed Britain into papal ownership. I am no longer familiar with the details, but Rome has not forgotten. They still call it Mary's dowry.

The black and white dress is consistent with every visit. Who's the boss in other words.

Jesuit propaganda as part of the counter reformation.

There are 2 tribulations. The longest was horrific, a war against all those who refused papal authority. The victims number in the millions. Lasted for over 1000 years. Anyone denying that was a tribulation need to remember to ask the martyrs who suffered and died at the hands of the kings and...

Interesting question. One must not confuse these ten horns with the ten horns of Daniel 7. The horns of Daniel 7 arose out of pagan Rome, 7 of which were the forebears of modern Europe. 3 of them we destroyed at the request of Bishop of Rome because they had set themselves as enemies and so...

I cannot view an actual mention of Sola scriptura, as you well know it you wouldn't have brought it up, except perhaps the verse at the end of this post. But I can mention an incident in scripture where Jesus Himself used Sola scriptura when there was plenty of other evidence He could have...
