    Unravelling Revelation

    I would like to clarify a couple of things about the meaning of 'Antichrist'. Before we look at the antichrist, I want to look at the real Christ. Who is He? Let us go to the scriptures to find out what and Who He claimed to be. Matthew 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater...

    So what does the divinity of Jesus really mean, anyway?

    You have made it circular by your own literary devising and reinterpretation of what I am saying. No need to resort to the introduction of ideas I never advocate as if they are my own. John said the following... “In him was life; and the life was the light of men. ” John 1:4 KJV...

    Who Is The Antichrist? A Biblical Prespective.

    Continued... As a wise woman once said...The opinions of learned men, the deductions of science,the creeds or decisions of ecclesiastical councils, as numerous and discordant as are the churches which they represent, the voice of the majority ...not one or all of these should be regarded as...

    Who Is The Antichrist? A Biblical Prespective.

    Continued from above... So there it is. By worshiping Antichrist, they by proxy are worshiping Satan. Antichrist is Satan's frontman, his alter-ego, his counterfeit. Through the worship of Antichrist Satan fulfils his lifelong dream to receive the worship of man. But there is more. He enlists...

    Who Is The Antichrist? A Biblical Prespective.

    God's love: infinite, abundant,unreserved,unconditional. God so loves the world, that there is not one person, living or dead, that Jesus did not die for. The apostle Paul says that if God was so willing to give His Son, He along with His Son willingly offers everything else also (Romans 8:32)...

    So what does the divinity of Jesus really mean, anyway?

    For Christ to be the divine Son of God He must be begotten (brought forth) of God. If He is not begotten (brought forth) of God then He can neither be a true Son nor truly God. Everything depends upon His Sonship to God. If Christ is deprived of His true Sonship then He is deprived of His true...

    Understanding the GodHead.

    There is overwhelming evidence in Scripture showing that Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. It would be far too much to comment upon in detail here. Suffice it to say that certain of the Jews regarded His claim as blasphemous (Mark 14:60-65 John 10:36). They said He was claiming to be God (John...

    Adopted, or created. There is only one begotten child who became human in order to die.

    Understanding the GodHead.

    Jesus wasn't crucified because He claimed to be a Son like every other child of Abraham. “33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is...

    Harvard professors argue that America needs a 'militant democracy' to stop Trump

    One common thread running through these current event and political discussions is a lack of a true biblical perspective, that of realising and acknowledging that we fight not against flesh and blood but spiritual wickedness...aka demonic powers... in heavenly places. The Democrats, the...

    Understanding the GodHead.

    No, Jesus only ruled Himself out of being "the only true God". In the sense of "only true God", we would refer possibly to “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. ” 1 Corinthians 8:6...

    Schemes...

    Yes, you are right. However, Catholicism sees certain specific doctrines as essential to being Catholic, such as the trinity, transubstantiation, etc. but not so essential as to impede some sort of loose union in which Rome is willing to tolerate certain differences with other Christian...

    Understanding the GodHead.

    I agree. That's trinitarianism certainly. You forget however I'm not Trinitarian. But I absolutely believe the Son of God is not just a title, and a metaphorical concept denying reality. The gospel of John and his 2 first letters were written to counter beliefs such as the trinity and your own.

    Schemes...

    You are taking it to personally. Just saying, that to worship the beast, all you need do is accept papal doctrine and authority over and above the word of God. That is a form of worship.i think you as well as I could pinpoint any number of Catholic doctrine that replace scripture and replace...

    Schemes...

    You obey the papal dogma, you are surrendering to papal authority. That is a form of worship. The world may not be there yet, but is heading very quickly in that direction. If you haven't noticed that, you've been asleep.

    What People Don't Realize

    @Ronald Nolette You are denigrating the law as if there is something wrong with it, and we need to be afraid of it so we should ignore it. Yet the scriptures say exactly the opposite. Paul said they are holy, just, and good. David repeatedly exalted the law. And prophecy stared that...

    What People Don't Realize

    What kind of an answer is that to the truth that the wages of sin is death? Sin is the transgression of the law. So when you say I would respond that the law does not bring death upon anyone. Sinning against that law... that is what brings death. Now please point out what I have said that is...

    What People Don't Realize

    The first 3 fruit are love, joy, and peace. Along with the other 6, these absolutely are to be obtained in this life, and yes, obedience to the commandments of God have a vital role in this.

    Unravelling Revelation

    Doesn't Daniel repeat and enlarge? Isn't Daniel 7a repeat of Daniel 2, and Daniel's 8,9,11 further detailed repays of previous chapters? Why wouldn't God be consistent and just as informative in revelation?

    What People Don't Realize

    The wages of sin is death, and sin is the transgression of the law. It's only sinners who are subject to the curse of the law, and die. Those born again who are forgiven, who live according to the Spirit and obey the commandments by the power of God and trust in Christ as their substitute as...
