    There is only one true church

    I wouldn't call the written law on tables of stone a mere symbol of God's Law and power. I would suggest strongly it is a written definition of it. A transcript even of God's character. Making it merely a symbol however helps to explain the ease with which your church changed it, and boasts of...

    There is only one true church

    Indeed, Christ established His church. For a while it was going well. Trusting in the power of the Holy Spirit, the church grew exponentially throughout the known world, preached the gospel of salvation which presented the blood of the Lamb as the only atoning medium for sin. However. One...

    Rethinking God

    Those that "rethought" God, are those that created a place for their man made paradigm of natural immortality for man. Man cannot live for ever and ever in an eternally burning hell. For 2 reasons. First. Only God is immortal. Only the righteous receive immortality as a gift. Sinners die...

    Daniel Chapter 2

    It is true that the iron kingdom, equivalent to the 4th beast of Daniel 7, continues all the way from the time of its beginning after Greece, to the second coming. However, as we have noted, the latter part of its existence incorporated a component of clay. In its beginning, Rome was...

    Daniel Chapter 2

    I am not convinced the ten toes are the same as the ten horns. The ten toes are destroyed at the second coming in Daniel 2. Yet we know that 3 of the ten horns were destroyed by the little horn prior to the 6th century. In Revelation we see another ten horns, which I think are the same as the...

    Daniel Chapter 2

    Indeed they do, and offer further information regarding details. But the main actors remain the same, and the chronology remains the same.

    Daniel Chapter 2

    The only logical and historical interpretation. It really is unchallenged by any competent Bible student. Even the anti-nicene fathers taught the same thing. And the ten horns of the 4th beast represent the 10 major kingdoms that took over the territory vacated by Rome in the western...

    ...until they die.

    Who, or what, is the dreaded bogey man of prophecy?

    True. Although He does everything He can inside the boundaries of self imposed limits to lead us to right choices. What human argument? I agree with you. But the soul isn't a distinct conscious entity without a body through which it expresses itself in thought and word and deed. Do you...

    Daniel Chapter 2

    The image of Daniel 2 sets the foundation for every subsequent vision and prophecy from Daniel to Revelation. What God has set down as His word in Daniel 2 cannot be altered to suit one's false theories when it comes to studying Revelation. All subsequent prophecies are to be studied on the...

    What does Religious Liberty mean to you?

    The state has no right nor inspired holy Spirit led mandate to interpret doctrine, define truth, or enforce it. In the dark ages, one single global institution, the papacy, asserted its presumptuous authority to define what is truth. The kings and queens of the world accepted the spiritual...

    Catholic tradition, not the Bible, teaches a change to Sundaykeeping.

    I've often wondered why anyone with any intellectual understanding or biblical nous could embrace the carnal reasoning and human devising of an 8th day. It's desperate. And biblically unfounded. Philosophical mumbo-jumbo. Satanic in origin and a blatant attempt to justify disobedience. Yes...

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    There is the perception in Christianity today that the God of the OT is a God of law, and of judgement, and that the means to salvation for the Jews was obedience, in contrast to the NT where God is a God of love and mercy, and salvation is by grace and not law. But the most beautiful name...

    What Is The Greatest Threat?

    Standing by and not standing up against the secularisation of our churches. Adopting worldly methods and programmes to accomplish spiritual goals. Not calling sin by its right name. Not realising that if we desire healing for our families, our cities, and our nations, God first desires...

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Are you suggesting that the fault with the old Covenant was with the giver of the law, and that He changed because His laws were insufficient for their purpose? God's remedy for the sin problem remained the same throughout all time. Sacrifice. And He was the sacrifice. The animals in the OT...

    Why Is It So Important To Keep The Sabbath Day Holy?

    That about sums it all up. Sunday, a man made institution to replace what God enjoined.

    Catholic tradition, not the Bible, teaches a change to Sundaykeeping.

    What Paul was referring to here, while you and Jane both are reinterpreting it in a manner to suit your preconceived ideas, is the Jewish festivals that pointed to messiah. He is referring to that law which was for the Jews, the remedy for sin... the gospel. The annual festival sabbaths that...

    Poll: Do we worship the God of the old covenant?

    Which God is the angel recommending here, the OT God or the NT God... “6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God...

    Catholic tradition, not the Bible, teaches a change to Sundaykeeping.

    Yet it seems that those gnats are inspiring you to greater and greater heights of criticism.

    What are the two witnesses doing with the prostitute?

    Those protestant churches who are joining with the state even as we speak, mean well. However, I think that if their relationship with Jesus were on a more sure footing, then they would be attempting to establish an earthly dominion or Thor's worldly version of God's kingdom on earth. An...
