    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    The very large overweight elephant in this discussion which you are determined to ignore is the historical fact that the little horn which Daniel references and prophesies about grows out of the 4th beast, which arose directly after the 3rd. The 3rd was Greece. I am sure you wouldn't suggest...

    What is the one true Church?

    There is no doubt that many have been led astray by false teachers, claiming to have the "spirit", but I think one other factor may be involved in that paradigm, those same leaders will also be encouraging their followers to trust in his wisdom and guidance rather than what is written. He would...

    What is the one true Church?

    I am not going to call you a liar as per your practise, but will give you the benefit of the doubt, preferring to think you are simply ignorant of Christian history and Bible doctrine.

    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    What times and laws do you think the little horn thought to change that was so significant as to be recorded in God's word as a particular characteristic of the Antichrist?

    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    Which is precisely what Seventh Day Adventists and others, eg Seventh Day Baptists, have been doing for 150 years or more, and what all Sabbath keepers did throughout the Christian era.

    That's what I said.

    Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS)

    Hey there. Doing okay. The sun's shining, the birds are singing, Jesus still reigns, what could go wrong? How are you?

    What is the one true Church?

    I agree with this. I think it s misunderstanding that you thought I was saying that others considered themselves enemies, they were as far as I know quite willing to welcome Rome and the Pope as a brother, but the response from Rome was to use force and secular power to bring about submission...

    What is the one true Church?

    I agree with this. I think it s misunderstanding that you thought I was saying that others considered themselves enemies, they were as far as I know quite willing to welcome Rome and the Pope as a brother, but the time from Rome was to use force and secular power to bring about submission. This...

    Overcoming...a slightly different perspective.

    In his book on the life of Joseph, and in particular Joseph's rejection of Potiphar's wife, Larry Lichtenwalter writes: Joseph sees more than just Potiphar's enchanting wife~he recognizes Potiphar and God standing there. Because he sees more~because he perceives two valued relationships that...

    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    The verse explicitly says, Sabbaths which are shadows, in other words, Paul is directing out attention to a specific type of Sabbath... Shadows... And there is absolutely nothing in the 4th commandment that suggests the weekly Sabbath as being on of them. For the reasons I expounded upon above...

    What is the one true Church?

    Common sense dictates the futility of talking to dead people. We don't need Bible verses to tell us that dead people are dead and unable to communicate with anyone.

    What is the one true Church?

    Agreed. "To the law and to the testimony. If they do not speak according to this word, there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:20. God has established His word, and the holy Spirit gives individuals understanding of it. The Bible today may not be precisely the perfect reproduction some demand...

    What is the one true Church?

    I would be more interested in what you believe the scriptures teach you about the trinity. Can you do that without referencing the Catechism, the magisterium, or the church 'fathers'? No, it isn't. At the fall of Jerusalem the church en masse moved from Jerusalem just before it's destruction...

    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    I have read in Colossians that there are Sabbaths which are shadows of things to come... No-one I know has ever established the weekly Sabbath as a shadow. What Sabbaths were shadows, and why? They were the established feast days, Passover, feast of first fruits, feast of trumpets etc, which...

    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    Yes. Every single week. Adventists have never observed the Sabbath as the world observes Sunday.

    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    On who's authority?

    What is the one true Church?

    I have great respect for your knowledge and understanding of your own faith, but even you surely cannot actually believe the above.

    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    Maybe 9 of them. No comment on post 167?

    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    Of course you do. And on whose authority do you stand on that changes God's explicit commandment to something else? You demand biblical evidence for definition of the MOB, where is your biblical authority for Sunday?
