    Not all of it. And let's not pretend Erasmus was the typical papist. He was a seeker of truth. He sought to EXPOSE the errors of papal Western Family MSS. In 1516, he published a revolutionary Bible format which had on each page both the Greek and the Latin, the one facing the other, so that...

    The Restrainer

    Ribera was correct about NOTHING. Just like you, he went to the Bible to confirm his personal "truth" rather than allow the Holy Spirit to reveal it to him from its pages. He taught what you believe: that the Antichrist is one man who will come at the end of time and sit down in a rebuilt temple...

    Amen to that! We take so much for granted. Here in the U.S. we can worship freely without persecution excpet for maybe some leftists mocking or cursing at us, but in other countries, it is a deadly danger to be a Christian.

    The papacy did have a hand in the "discovery" of Codex S. A year before Tichendorf "discovered" it in the trash, he went to Rome to see the Pope. Many believe it was then that this psuedo Protestant hatched a plan with the papacy to recover these documents. They have been examined by many...

    It's not crazy to conclude that the Little Horn which comes up among the Ten Horns of the fallen Roman Empire is the papal Antichrist, which was restrained from rising by Pagan Roman Caesars, because the while the Caesars reigned, the Popes could not. This is textbook Protestant Historicism...

    I appreciate your interest in this. I've been studying it for years and as a former Futurist, I was so grateful to God for showing me the ins and outs of Historicism. I'm here if you have any questions, but Brakelite is the go to guy for the really hard questions he def knows a lot!

    So, you'll admit the church of Rome is wrong on everything else, but somehow Jesuit Ribera - who sought from the Bible confirmation of his own truth rather than to be instructed in what God says is truth - managed to get right the whole issue of the Antichrist, which just so happen to exonerate...

    Praise God. What the world needs today is more praying mothers.

    I ask God to help me make truth clear. Words means things and so often when we read the Bible - myself included - we miss things. I had the privilege to preach in church last weekend and I gave a Mother's Day message. Title was "Composite Parent", and it was about how the Bible describes God's...

    Oh, c'mon, CI, you don't believe in a "last seven years trib" antichrist that coming in the future?

    I already know what you believe, so you don't have to post links to it.

    Every example is from Scripture, and you know it. BTW, I see that $100 is still on the table. Now, it seems to me that if someone challenged me to back up what I say and claim $100, I'd jump on that in a New York minute...but that's just me.

    Trump is the worst President to hold this office

    As my all time favorite preacher once said about the proliferation of Bibles in our day, "Churches give away Bibles. But you can also go to the bookstore and buy any kind of Bible to read. You can go to the library, and there's a Bible there to read. You can get up in an airplane, and they'll...

    I believe Caesar was among the others of Pagan Rome which restrained the rise of the papacy, because as long as the Caesars sat on the throne, the Bishop of Rome was subordinate to him...after all, Caesar was a "god" and worshiped accordingly. Only when the succession of Caesars came to an end...

    You're such a gentle soul! If I come of as arrogant, believe me I am not in the least! I can't help it if I mingle a little of what some people today call "toxic masculinity" with my contention for "the faith once delivered to the saints". :cool: Without posting a long read, suffice it to say...

    The Restrainer

    Thanks Nancy :) With regard to the Restrainer, I do sometimes come off as one who thinks it's Gospel to call the Roman Empire the Restrainer, which is not in Scripture. However, in my mind I'm thinking of all the other evidence which places the rise of Antichrist back where Scripture says it...
