    Believing on Christ is a evidence of being born again !

    From the pen of Ellen White

    I would place her on a simila plane as I would Ignatius Loyola and his "spiritual exercises". Ellen White was not a 'visionar'y or 'mystic' in the same sense as Catholics label their more famous saints.

    From the pen of Ellen White

    Thank you for the above. Before I became a Seventh Day Adventist, I was a pentecostal. It's ironic that in the churches I attended, (AOG for the most part) I heard much 'prophecy' , and much teaching about false prophets. So when I began to learn more about Ellen White, and having never heard...

    As Hobie said... channelling. Fallen angels were present at the time of Jesus and observed everything that took place. It is no surprise that they use that information to deceive the unwary today.

    Everyone will receive a Mark, whose mark is the question.

    Associated with Babylon is the description of the great falling away which directly resulted in the revelation of the Antichrist in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 The word falling in this context comes from the Greek word apostasia* 646 ἀποστασία apostasia ap-os-tas-ee’-ah ‭ ‭feminine of the same as 647...

    That's what you said before, and it's a copy/ paste from the Antichrist's (Catholic Jesuitism) "Go Destroy Protestantism" play book.

    Everyone will receive a Mark, whose mark is the question.

    If you are going to use Babylon as a metaphor, and you should, please get it right. Babel in the beginning, and later as an enemy that took Judah into captivity, is a metaphor for the final global enemy of God's people, a people metaphor symbolized by a global entity, spiritual Israel or...

    Everyone will receive a Mark, whose mark is the question.

    Mystery, Babylon the Great, an apostate global Christian entity is an ecumenical (interfaith) religious composite, united on the basis of a few things they may have in common, (eg Sunday sacredness, the union of church and state and the trinity) , but hopelessly divided on the meaning of the...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    I disagree. One does not needa man's definition of the Godhead/trinity in order to accept that Jesus is God. John's gospel was written for a purpose. At the end of the first century, 30 to 40 years after the other hosiery were ashtray in circulation, John wrote an apologetic...a divine...

    Patience. Hardly something to get angry about.

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Please don't misunderstand me. I do not believe the divine Son of God was created. He is a literal Son, brought forth... begotten not created... as we understand Father/ Son relationships. We don't know how far back in eternity this took place. Certainly before creation, but we don't know...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Your father is human, therefore you are human. Why would not the Son of God be God? One excellent analogy is found in Daniel 2. The rock that was formed without hands came forth from the mountain. The mountain (The Father) had been there forever, the Rock (the Son) came forth from the Father...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    You are stretching here. Adam was a unique individual, being the first human to be made, even from mud. And we inherit those same genetic features that identify us as human, the carbon based minerals common to all mankind. And yes, the human child of Mary also inherited those same genes, but...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    We know that Christ came in person to reveal God to the world. God is a person, and Christ is a person. Christ is spoken of in the Word as “the brightness of His Father’s glory, and the express image of His person. Although Christ is God, we need to, when speaking of personalities, clearly...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    I'm not a Trinitarian, so I don't look at this from their perspective. The Greek of the New Testament was written in what we refer to today as uppercase letters (uncials). It had no spaces between the words and had no punctuation – at least not as we know it today in English. This means that...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Extreme eisegesis? "Who do you say I am?" “16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18...

    It is true, because Jesus said it is...

    The answer to sin is the gospel, and the gospel of necessity must include the ministry of Christ as our High Priest, mediating, sanctifying, interceding on our behalf before the throne of His Father. Just as the priests did in the OT in order to complete the atonement. Note that many...

    It is true, because Jesus said it is...

    No, he could not. But He did have to enter and minister there by sprinkling and using his finger to wipe the blood on the burns of the altar. All necessary parts of the ritual, and service of the ancient sanctuary, all of which pointed ultimately to the ministry of Christ on the heavenly...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    There is overwhelming evidence in Scripture showing that Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. It would be far too much to comment upon in detail here. Suffice it to say that certain of the Jews regarded His claim as blasphemous (Mark 14:60-65 John 10:36). They said He was claiming to be God (John...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    I agree with the first part of the sentence above, but would qualify eternity by agreeing with Hepzibah on his point that the Son came forth from the Father in eternity, but not necessarily from all eternity, as that of necessity denies His true Sonship.
