The little horn was Roman. Antiochus Epiphanes wasn't.

I've said nothing about a spirit of satan or the man of sin or a temple or a beast or a bottomless pit or two witnesses. Those are exclusively your hallucinations. Did you take your meds today? :laughing:

So to review, do the following claims of the papacy identify the papacy as an antichrist, where "anti" means substitute? “All the names which in the Scripture are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that He is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope.”...

There are two different "they's" in Romans 11:28. Never and nowhere in Scripture are enemies of the gospel ever numbered with the election. Never and nowhere in Scripture do the twain meet unless and until the former as individuals accept Christ, and are then numbered with the latter. Paul...

Surely you jest. Antichrist it was. Small it wasn't. It imposed its will upon the known world for 1,000 years of what is known as the Dark Ages, claiming millions of lives in the process. Who said it was? Antichrist was not preaching the gospel. It was apostasizing over the Dark Ages to...

Two Israels. Romans 9 6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh...

He promised to save the remnant of Israel. Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27 The question you avoided: When did Christ promise unregenerate Israel earthly land?

2 Corinthians 1 20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. All the promises of God in Christ are yes and amen. There are therefore no promises of God outside of Christ. When did Christ promise unregenerate Israel earthly land?

False. Israel was comprised of both Jews and Gentiles throughout its history. Genesis 17:12; Exodus 12:48-49; Leviticus 19:34; Leviticus 24:22. Furthermore, Jacob's mother Rebekah was not a descendant of Abraham, thus she was a Gentile, and thus Jacob and all of his descendants were of mixed...

If the new covenant and promises are not better, then why do they exist?

I believe in "better". You don't.

I believe in the more excellent ministry, the better covenant, and the better promises. Scripture describes them as more excellent and better for good reasons. I believe Scripture.

I choose to accept God's offer of gold over silver. You could too.

Hebrews 8 6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. More than once upon a time there was a father who, in his will, bequeathed his son 100 ounces of silver. He told his son of the...

Romans 10 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Faithfulness and obedience to you, PinSeeker.

A nation is comprised of its individuals. That is obvious from every Scripture that I cited. Individuals are chosen when they respond to God and His Son in faithfulness and obedience. Their nationality is irrelevant. God is not a racist, nor can He be contorted into one.

What do you believe are the three horns of Daniel 7:8,20,24 ? History identifies three geopolitical kingdoms -- the Heruli, Vandals, and Ostrogoths -- which were plucked up/subdued/overthrown by the papacy.

Spare us the tirade. :laughing: I've said nothing about beasts or heads or horns or crowns et al. Your imagination has overwhelmed you. I've simply said that the papacy's arrogations identify it as an antichrist according to the term meaning a substitute for Christ. The Reformers...

They weren't chosen here: Matthew 21 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. or here: Matthew 23...

But a number of individual antichrists like the popes. “All the names which in the Scripture are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that He is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope.” Robert Cardinal Bellarmine, De Conciliorum Auctoriatate (On the...
