    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Indeed. Who is teaching scripture and exalting Christ, and who isn't? There are2 principles in the world fighting for supremacy. One is the principle of love, freedom, and mercy as exemplified in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ . The other is the principle of coercion, slander, lies...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I belong to a denomination to whom I have surrendered allegiance. I will obey and hear my elders so long as they bear witness to the truth as taught in the scriptures. I am allowed freedom of conscience. Freedom of conscience and the right to think for oneself is a gift of God and does not...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    Those 7 years are a hoax. A lie. The 70 weeks of Daniel 9 are already completed. The covenant was already confirmed by their Messiah. 3 and a half years personally, them 3 and a half years by the apostles. That completed the final 7. The stoning of Steven by the Sanhedrin was Israel's last act...

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    It isn't an Israeli Sabbath or a Jewish Sabbath. It is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. It is His day. Not mine, yours, or anyone else's. It's the Lord's Day. Jesus loudly and clearly claimed the Sabbath as His own. "I am the Lord of the Sabbath day. And I gave it to man for His good. "

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    Yes, I knew that. But it needs to make sense contextually of you are going to read it as week... The first day after Sabbath... The second day after Sabbath... The third day after Sabbath etc etc is how the Jews counted their days. They did not have pagan names for their days, everything...

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    So you really truly think that Paul is telling the church, "make up your own mind whether you want to obey his commandments or not... God's okay with it either way". Doesn't sound like Paul to me. So I think he's talking about other days. Fast days. Feast days. Ceremonial days such as great of...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Well, not quite. According to you I was at least half right. You haven't quoted any popes from the first 5 centuries or so quoting Matthew in support of succession, papal primacy etc. And your early church influencers had issues. Not only did they disagree with each other on some issues, they...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    The only other time the 'son of perdition' is mentioned in scripture is in reference to Judas. Judas was one of the elect. He was one of the closest select disciples who was with Jesus every day. One of the inner circle, even the treasurer. So also is the antichrist. He is presumed to be...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    Further to the above... Daniel 7:9 ¶ I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 10 A fiery stream issued and came...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    Continued from above... Daniel 8:20 identifies the ram as being Meda-Persia, thus the ram and the bear represent the same power. The bear raised itself up on one side - indicating the more prominent role of the Medes at the beginning of their rise to power, the individual kings being Ahasuerus...

    The following article, in 2 parts, dwell principally upon the seventh and eighth chapters of the book of Daniel, with a particular focus on identifying the commonly termed "little horn". A principle of understanding prophecy, particularly those of Daniel's is that later prophecies are repeats...
