I'm thinking that those who are thinking they are doing God service and persecuting the saints, also think they are a part of the Elect and immune to deception. No personal offence intended.

Aaah, okay, a little harsh perhaps, nevertheless I do agree with your first premise, that good accountability and a sound relationship with others in prayer and bible study goes a long way, and yep. Christ's promise that He is there where we are is indeed true. What I was doing was talking...

Do a study on the OT types that pointed to Christ's ministry. Yes, Calvary was the antitype to the passover. In the passover, what took place after the sacrifice of the lamb? Yes, Jesus, the true Lamb, bore the sins of mankind, but where did they go? Does He still have them? What did the...

Babylon the Great is a global counterfeit Christian movement. God Himself said that He had people in there, and calls them to come out. That global corporate discernment you speak about followed the false prophet, the beast, and thy dragon all the way into destruction.

We are in a war. A spiritual war. That war is between Christ and Satan, and because Christ is unreachable, then His Church is the target of Satan's hatred. And it's a battle over the mind. How we think. What we think. Particularly of what we think about the character of God. Because it is...

First, Miller's biggest mistake was not the 2300 day/ year method. That method had been used elsewhere and is proven accurate. His mistake was interpreting the sanctuary as the earth. But he wasn't alone. There were numerous evangelists and bible scholars all over the world from many...

Mmm. I think you are one of the many that needs to dig deeper. Start with Gabriel's response to Daniel's lack of understanding. What Gabriel came back to finishbecause Daniel fainted. Basic bible exegesis. Don't start with preconceived ideas and try to fit them to scripture. I could create...

Verses 1-9. Paul fasted for 3 days, not for enlightenment, but from the shock and horror at what he had done due to his ignorance. That's a lesson for us. We can be so confident in our own conceit and ego, ridicule others because they think different, even persecute them, and be utterly...

The Seventh Day Adventist understanding of the 2300 days born out of the Great Disappointment, is really the only one that makes any biblical and historical sense. You guys need to study that in order to dispel the confusion. But kudos to everyone for the effort put in. Some interesting...

“3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into...

Of course. No problem

Fine. But I don't think a discussion on whether Jesus is truly the Son of God needs to be necessarily a trinitarian focussed discussion. Unless one cannot perceive a Father/Son relationship without it. In that case, we definitely do need to discuss the trinity, because basing doctrine on...

Submitting inherently contains the idea of being voluntary. It is left up to us as to who we submit to, and we make that judgement on the basis of Vivian teaching and practise, and as Carl said, the fruit of the Spirit. This church authority concept has me deeply concerned in relation to...

Yes.

“24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27 For he hath...

That would be so cool.

Well He did. Just in much fewer words, and with a great deal more authority and skill and logic. See above.

I believe Jesus was begotten of the Father before creation. When God created: when He said, "Let us make man in our image"; I believe He was talking to His Son. I also believe it possible that indeed Jesus was eternal as God, but as a begotten Son at some point on eternity. I see the...
