Babylon and her daughters are fallen Christian churches. See my post here... https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/who-is-babylon-of-revelation-chapter-17.64721/#post-1898381

The 2 witnesses bring the light and glory of the truth of God to the world at a time of great apostasy. They are the word of God, the law (Moses) and the prophets (Elijah) preached by the power of the Spirit in the time o of the latter rain within the remnant Church who cry aloud calling God's...

Babylon is a spiritual entity. It is not a literal city, however a literal city is associated with her. Some characteristics taken from Revelation 17 and 18. 1. She's a mother. 2. She has daughters. 3. The city she is associated with has 7 hills. 4. Clothed in purple and scarlet. 5. Sits...

Yet Jesus did not force or coerce the Samaritan woman into Jewish worship. He merely gave her a better understanding of the options she had.

“26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the...

“I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, ” Revelation 1:10 It is assumed that the above refers to Sunday. It is assumption only.

How can the state acknowledge the limits placed on it through Christian and other religious ideas of a supreme Being to which we will all be held accountable, without being manipulated and reinvented to become a tool or weapon to enforce, even biblical righteousness?

As far as religious liberty is concerned, the more Christians who serve in government the better. They would, if they were following biblical principles, provost a note of caution...a certain humility with the halls of power... sense of limiting state power knowing that the state will be held...

I was thinking primarily of those coming across your southern border. Are they not predominantly catholic, and would likely vote in support of catholic rulers? Back in the days of your founding fathers, Islam was barely thought of. The danger they saw was in that union of church and state...

Actually, the commandment is very explicit. It says the "Sabbath of the Lord thy God". God blessed just one specific day. The seventh. Is there really any widespread confusion as to which day is the seventh day? The Jews have been keeping the exact same day without interruption for 3500...

I was simply responding to your statement that there is no religious liberty. I believe there is, but sometimes it can cost. Which Jesus warned about. “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. ” Matthew 24:9...

So you believe that Jesus redeemed you from the penalty of sin and from death, but skips any attempt to recreate man in His own image and empower him to obey the law in the future? I suggest that redemption includes both. The gospel includes both. Grace brings us to Christ, grace brings...

I see no evidence in scripture that "the Lord's day" refers explicitly to Sunday, unless I'm missing something. I do see scriptures that explicitly refer to the Sabbath as "My holy day", "My" being the Lord, therefore affirming the Sabbath as being the Lord's day. As far as I see the evidence...

Indeed they did.

Are you not free to worship God according to the dictates of your own conscience...or not to worship anything or anyone, of you should so choose? It is true the governments introduce laws with the intent to restrict your freedoms. However, are you not still free to choose to obey, or not...

The church in general has not fully extricated itself from the doctrines of the dark ages. It still cleaves to tradition and superstition, and does not have a full appreciation yet of the character of God. Nor yet of Satan. When we do have a full understanding, the fruit will be ripe and...

Very good. And sin is the transgression of the law right? Therefore the law and the gospel are connected.

Why is it here? Because we a humans fell for the lies and deceit of Satan. We believe him, even to this present day, instead of believing God. And almost the entire world agrees with Satan that the kingdom of God is a system of slavery. That its laws are arbitrary and unjust and...

It was before sin. Sin turned nature upside down bringing death and selfishness to all life. The result is all around us. Attribute crime, greed, murder, lust, and all manner of abuse and violence to "sin" would be correct, but to attribute those things to God is akin to blasphemy and a gross...

Thanks Taken for your perspective. That was a very well written testimony from that Finnish member of parliament. As for Islam, yes, that ideology is becoming a greater threat, particularly in Europe. I think however that if we studied history, the emergence of an Islamic government in the...
