God turns a blind eye to sincere Catholics until they hear the message to "come out of her, my people" - but for those who deliberately despise the truth of God...they have much to fear in the coming Judgment!

If Christ is living out His life in us, we are "reckoned" perfect, though the Holy Spirit works to perfect us by God's grace.

You are correct, Israel is also called a "harlot" because she claimed to serve God, but adopted the ways of heathenism. Likewise, the Roman church is an apostate, though she claims to be the true spouse of God, and God is calling sincere Catholics, Hindus, Jews, etc. out of their respective...

I like the way you critically analyze the details. We all could benefit greatly from not only shaking the fruit tree, but also climbing up to look behind the leaves and branches. However, ancient kings were also "carried" by their subjects - over whom they clearly were ruler. The idea of...

CoreIssue, if you stop attributing to SDAs that which was MAINSTREAM PROTESTANT DENOMINATION DOCTRINE before there was ever such a thing as an SDA, that would be great.

The papacy is not just "a church" - it is the "church/state" union which is "diverse from the first", because it is a religio-political kingdom.

True. It means "man" in the plural, and refers to a succession of popes that are at the head of the papacy.

I see. Thank you.

I'm saying you're research is unnecessary because whether the correct words are "that Wicked" or "the wicked" doesn't matter for they BOTH point to the subject of the passsage: the MAN OF SIN. The only question remaining is whether "man" refers to a single man or a plurality of men.

The fact that Revelation picks up where Daniel's details leave off does NOT demand multiple Antichrists. God, like any good teacher, utilizes in prophetic revelation the best methodology of teaching since time immemorial: "repetition and enlargement" where in the process of presenting truth, a...

Whether the words of 2 Thess. 2 are "that Wicked" or "the wicked", it is of zero consequence. These words - absolutely without question - refer to the thematic, contextual subject of the passage: the man of sin. You claim this "man of sin" Antichrist refers to one single future evil dude - the...

You too, Nancy!

How does one go about determining if he/she is among "the specially chosen"? Is it a "burning in the bosom" like in Mormonism or something like that?

It's alright to crash the party as long as you bring food or root beer.

The company I work for is so militant about the idea of "doing more with less" that is seems they think we'll eventually be able to do everything with nothing at all. Thank goodness we have Christianity Board whose creators appear to operate with a far more reasonable mindset...or do they...

And here lies the root of your error: the error of a "fifth" kingdom. THERE IS NO FIFTH KINGDOM. Daniel says the legs of iron would divide into ten toes, which are the ten divisions of the Roman Empire. Daniel 7 says that the Antichrist would arise among those ten divisions.

Nebuchadnezzer is NOT called a beast...it only says he'd act like one. Amazing the lengths people will go to make their Jesuit ideas work...including adding to Scripture.

That is totally subjective reasoning. There's nothing in the prophecy which demands an account for the rest of the European nations which came on the scene. It is only necessary to account for those that existed at the time the Little Horn comes up "among them", after which the focus totally...

No where in the text is Nebuchadnezzer depicted as a beast - again, he is depicted as a tree that is cut down. It is his lycanthropic actions that are described as beastly, not the man himself, and this passage cannot be compared with other passages which do depict the subject nation itself as a...
