    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    If I come across a dog with his teeth sunk into the calf of my 4 year old grand son, that dog will die from my wrath and fury. I am being merciful in doing so. Not only on behalf of my grand son, but any potential future victims. The local council would whole heartedly agree, and would have done...

    Learning about Orthodoxy

    There are two major flaws in your argument. First, the date is real. 22 October 1844 is a biblical milestone. You guys have no answer as to what it means, therefore I suggest you leave it alone, despite Miller getting the event wrong. Second, it wasn't the Seventh Day Adventist church that set...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    And after 4000 years of sacrificing animals one would think they would get the point. Substitutionary atonement of written across history in the blood of Goats and Calves and Lambs, all pointing to the future Saviour. Christ was treated as we deserve, that we might be treated as He deserves. He...

    The Wrath of God - How is it love?

    Don't you choose to sin? Please don't claim God designed the fall in order to reveal the gospel. Such an idea is as crazy as evolution, a design that has death being the producer and refiner of life. God intended there be sin, rebellion, war, suffering and death just so He could show His love...

    Learning about Orthodoxy

    Fascinating that you guys are quite happy to engage with one another, bear false witness, gain courage from one another's cowardice, and ignore what is being said to you by those who actually know. Unless of course you think they are lying, but then you would have to produce some real evidence...

    SABBATH KEEPING

    Even if Paul and all the apostles had abandoned the seventh‑day Sabbath in favor of the first, under whose authority could they possibly have altered a direct command of God—one that had shaped Jewish life for over a thousand years, and whose neglect had only six centuries earlier led their...

    SABBATH KEEPING

    Yes, funny that. He did do that didn't he. I wonder why there's no mention whatsoever of Paul reasoning with or meeting with anyone, at all, on the first day of the week?

    SABBATH KEEPING

    Read Acts 13:42-48. Here was the perfect opportunity for Paul to teach the Gentiles your take on what day is the Sabbath... He didn't. He agreed to meet them, not the next day the first day of the week, but the next Sabbath. Paul, the Jews, and the Gentiles knew precisely what day the Sabbath...

    SABBATH KEEPING

    Paul didn't have to command anyone to keep the Sabbath. Sabbath observance by Israel had been practised since time immemorial, and the early church simply carried on that practise, having absolutely no directive from either the Lord Himself or the apostles that there was any change.

    ...and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament...

    What we know as the mercy seat on top of the ark was guarded by two angels. Covering cherubs they were called. Important positions, and they were closest to the Father, as what they guarded was His throne. The seat of government. Inside that seat, that throne, was the foundation of God's...

    SABBATH KEEPING

    Compelled to be circumcised is one thing. And yes, there was much discussion, debate, and controversy over that particular very important tradition of Israel. It was extremely difficult for the Hebrew people to get around to a different mindset and to understand that circumcisions was no longer...

    ...and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament...

    According to Paul's letter to the Hebrews, and OT testimony, the entire sanctuary of the OT, including the later temples in Jerusalem, and all the furniture inside, were copied from the pattern God gave Moses, forming a miniature replica of the original sanctuary in heaven wherein is God's...

    SABBATH KEEPING

    Actually, no, it doesn't. It advises that no-one ought to think they are earning justification through their obedience. It is not saying they ought not obey.

    Elijah shall come before Christ?

    Elijah and John had something in common in their ministry. They both rebuked religio/state kings who had apostatized, and were committing adultery, either spiritual or marital. And it isn't coincidental that Ahab's wife's name was Jezebel, responsible for introducing idolatry into Israel. In the...

    ...and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament...

    “And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. ”...

    The World has a new Pope. Who is he, really?

    Warning. The following information is graphic, dark, and evil in the extreme. The subject matter has been the focus of conspiracy theorists for a long time. These matters are now before what is described as an international court, and is corroborated by many witnesses. Not so much theory any...

    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    Discussion questions; 1) Is the basis for your salvation a personal decision to follow God, or to follow the church? The basis for salvation is Christ and Him crucified. Our faith is born through believing that what God says of Himself, is true. God rewards such faith with further revelation of...
