    How could the weekly Sabbath be a "shadow" pointing to sin when sin hadn't even entered the world yet and no spiritual "shadow" had fallen upon the land? When Genesis 2 plainly tells us God made the Sabbath to point to what He'd just done, is there anything in there saying it's a "shadow"...

    Christians are sinners, but not of the devil

    King David said "Let the righteous smite me, it shall be a kindness, and let him rebuke me; it shall be an excellent oil that shall not break my head". King David was a "type of Christ" and his example of humility should be ours, right or wrong? I'll not only say it to your face, but I'll show...

    Christians are sinners, but not of the devil

    Well, Jesus did say not everyone that says Lord Lord will enter the kingdom. In fact, it's safe to say most people will seek to enter the wide gate of destruction, thinking they're on the right path, but all the while walking in iniquity.

    TBH, I don't read posts from people who demonstrate a level of willful ignorance as you. If you're too lazy to confirm with a few simple keystrokes such supersonically blasphemous heresies like the one from pope Leo XIII I quoted - and instead choose to blindly deny their existence - your posts...

    What exactly is pre-Tribulation, Tribulation and Rapture?

    Tribulation: an unknown length of time just before Jesus returns which includes the 7 Last Plagues. Pretribulation: the time before the aforementioned tribulation. Rapture: the ascension of the translated dead and living saints which takes place simultaneously with the Second Coming when...

    Christians are sinners, but not of the devil

    Who told you this? Some lying pulpit prophet? I assure you, the "Christian" who continues in habitual, deliberate, known, presumptuous sin is going to split hell wide open. The Just Man falls 7 times and rises up again, but cries out to God for mercy and help to escape and strives thereafter...

    Christians are sinners, but not of the devil

    There are a few exceptions...Elijah, the "many of the bodies of the saints which slept", Enoch, etc. - but, generally, heaven and hell won't be arrived at until the Resurrections.

    "We hold upon this Earth the place of God almighty." - Pope Leo XIII How people can be so gullible as to believe the teachings of Roman Catholicism like this is beyond me.

    "Sunday is our Mark of authority. The (catholic) church is above the Bible and this transference of Sabbath observance (to Sunday) is proof of that fact". "...above the Bible..." :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    What are you talking about? I was nothing but polite in my question to DB concerning the relationship of the Cross to salvation and to the establishment of the church. Keep these accusations up and you'll go on a permanent vacation to Ignore Island, understand?

    Do you have an Imprimatur stamped document attesting to this? The Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification says the RCC and Protestant churches agree we are saved "by grace alone, in faith in Christ's saving work..." Thought that sounds very close to what the Bible teaches, it's not at...

    As I said already, 2 Chronicles 17:27 KJV says when God blesses something (unconditionally) it's "blessed forever" and doesn't require a booster shot ever, not at Sinai, not at Calvary, not at all, ever. Therefore, when God tells you He "blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it", He's talking...

    Difference between Catholic and Protestant.

    Because "Peter" ("petros") means "a small pebble", while "Rock" ("Petra") means "giant stone of immense proportion". Making "Peter" equal to "Rock" is like making Taco Bell grade beef (which is one step above dog food) equal to filet mignon. Peter is not the "Rock" upon which the church is...

    I imagine telling a Catholic priest you only need Jesus for salvation will get you the same facial expression as when you tell a Best Buy salesman no thanks, I can get that same laptop on Amazon waaaaay cheaper.

    Difference between Catholic and Protestant.

    I noticed you didn't say the Cross is crucial to our salvation, but to the establishment of the catholic church. Do you believe we're saved by the blood of Jesus ALONE without dependence on anything else but that we "believe on Him Whom He hath sent"? I read where a Catholic priest spoke about...

    Here's why it's you who's wrong: The weekly Sabbath was created at the end of the six days of Creation before sin entered the world when there were no spiritual shadows.....all was light. There were no Passovers, no Unleavened Breads, no meat offerings, drink offerings, no new moons, or holy...

    My problem, personal yes problem with BORN again

    Wouldn't that make the new birth unnecessary? After all, "born again" means being made alive in the Spirit through Christ, right?

    Beatitudes: Steps To Christ

    God bless you, as well, friend. My favorite preacher said we must first appeal to the intellect, then to the emotions, and then through them both, to the will. That's what Jesus did, commingling divine truth with the tenderest mercy in every Gospel invitation. Today, intellectualism is either...

    Beatitudes: Steps To Christ

    A massive crowd had gathered by the sea of Galilee. They sat down on the Mount of Olives with great expectancy for words they'd waited so long to hear. It appeared to them that a Deliverer had arisen from their midst, One to Whom the prophecies pointed, One by Whom they would finally be restored...

    I will send my messenger

    Do you believe Elijah returns during the "last 7 yeras of tribulation" after the church disappears?
