    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    So Christ's Atonement takes away any obligation to obey? If a traffic officer tickets you for speeding, then in mercy writes a cheque to pay your fine, does that remove your obligation to observe traffic rules in the future, or enhance that obligation?

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    And being so simple, it takes ultra complicated theories and ideas in order to resist acknowledging it's relevance.

    Revelation 12

    Who is the Head of the angels, that is, the archangel? Michael, or Jesus? There's only one. Would not the chief of the angels be their Creator? Their Lord? That His name is Michael, 'one like God', doesn't detract from His divinity.

    Revelation 12

    If you don't know the answers to those questions from what I have already presented them your reading comprehension skills need an upgrade.

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    Read again post 443. Understand the meaning of the word Antichrist. Understand how the character or spirit of Antichrist has manifested itself in human history since the time of the apostles. Understand who Satan has used throughout Christian history to undermine, destroy, and replace the truth...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Interesting @Aunty Jane that for all their protesting the corruptions of Babylon, Jehovah's Witnesses use the exact same excuses as Babylon for their reluctance to obey God's Commandments, and would rather surrender to their own authority and refused to surrender to the authority of God. Any...

    Revelation 12

    I am saying that there is strong evidence...as shown above...that Michael is another name for the Son of God. Jesus was the NT name. Before the incarnation the Son of God I believe was known as Michael.

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    I would like to clarify a couple of things about the meaning of 'Antichrist'. Before we look at the antichrist, I want to look at the real Christ. Who is He? Let us go to the scriptures to find out what and Who He claimed to be. Matthew 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater...

    Revelation 12

    The meaning of the name “Michael” may present more evidence as to his identify. I present it here for your consideration. The name Michael in Hebrew is מִיכָאֵל. Broken apart, we have מִי (pronounced miy) meaning “who,” followed by the conjunction כִּי, and then אֵל (pronounced el) meaning...

    You are afraid for me because I choose to honour the 4th Commandment?

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    You would have a scripture that harmonizes with the rest of prophecy to confirm that yes?

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    Not so. The prophecies themselves demand am institution... Kingdom... Union of church and state, beginning from Daniel 2 and consistently repeated through all subsequent prophecies. The above is an interesting question. There is much debate over whether the Antichrist is an individual, as it is...

    Revelation 12

    THE ANGEL OF THE LORD Throughout the Old Testament we constantly find the appearance of an “angel of the Lord/captain of the hosts” who manifestly turns out to be God. Here are those verses: Example #1: “And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the...

    Revelation 12

    Chief Messenger... Mighty Messenger... One of the mightiest of Messengers... Ruling Messenger. I agree with you that all those angels/ messengers, subordinate to the Lord and Creator Jesus, were created beings. But the Chief Messenger? The Angel of the Covenant? The Lord of hosts? Jude 1:9...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    So the ten commandments were only for Jews?

    Great point. No idol becomes one without the Idolator.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Pagan Rome persecuted the early church until the 3rd century. I think the emperor was Gratian, just before Constantine, who saw no benefit in killing Christians. But were there popes at that time? I could accept that the bishops of Rome were killed, along with thousands of others. As well as...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    It doesn't matter whether you care for a day, or me. What matters is what day God cares for. @Aunty Jane If God has blessed a day millennia before a Jew existed, them out isn't a Jewish day, it's God's day. That day is still blessed. Still holy. Still sanctified. You cast it aside as of no...

    Revelation 12

    The word archangel, simply means chief messenger. It does not necessarily mean a created being. President Biden is the Commander in Chief of all the armed forces is he not? Does that make him a soldier? Pilot? Seaman? In the same manner, Michael is the chief of all the armed forces in heaven...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    It is quite frankly astonishing that people cannot see beyond their short sighted prejudices to simply accept what scripture says. Papal Rome has already met every single criteria to be identified as the Antichrist...people have been told...it has been explained...but they still want to cleave...
