    Is it biblical? - What does that even mean?

    Mmm. The medieval church thought it a good thing to help people on the way by starting the process. Jack would have been right at home with them.

    Could Russia be a bear?

    That's what I think about the rambling nonsense that denies God's Word and gives plain comprehension a bad name by allegorising simple truths and making them unintelligible.

    When Jesus Came out the Grave, he was Born Again.

    QUOTE...When Jesus Came out the Grave, he was Born Again. Nope. He was born again at Bethlehem. First begotten of the Father in eternity, begotten a second time in Bethlehem. When God sent His only begotten Son into the world, He had a Son to send.

    How many kingdoms in Daniel?

    Where you bin? And Frankie ain't finished yet. The second beast who rose up at the came time as the apparently mortal wound of the papacy in 1798, is the United States. A protestant nation. Read what that fallen protestant nation does on behalf of a resurgent papacy.

    Is it biblical? - What does that even mean?

    Those people died. You are talking about people who never die. Just suffer. And suffer. And suffer. So yeah, nuh. Same God bro. You just don't know Him.

    Why did our Redeemer need to be both God and Man?

    “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. ” Acts 4:12 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Acts.4.12 “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom...

    Why did our Redeemer need to be both God and Man?

    Why did it have to be an innocent woman? Could not the Son of God inherit the weaknesses of mankind yet overcome all tendencies to evil through faith in His Father's power, just as we are to do through faith in Jesus's power?

    Why did our Redeemer need to be both God and Man?

    “(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. ” Romans 4:17 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Romans.4.17

    Why did our Redeemer need to be both God and Man?

    God's foreknowledge, even before creation, informed the Father's and Son's decision to create despite the knowledge that sin would require an answer for creation to survive. That answer had to be agreed to between them both, before they started rolling the ball so to speak. The Father could...

    Should Christians get tattoos?

    You sound like farouk.

    Should Christians get tattoos?

    Such a thing is deeply personal, I would rather not comment on regard to others. All I can say is I believe God would disapprove of me having one. I'm 72, and I don't have one tattoo. Not boasting or anything, because there have been times I was attracted to getting a tattoo. Not anything...

    How many kingdoms in Daniel?

    I agree with you regarding the Vatican... but it is Christ Who destroys it using the kings of the earth as the vehicles of His wrath. I disagree with you concerning the kings and their territory. I believe they are global, a confederate of kings placed as rulers over 10 artificially designed...

    Could Russia be a bear?

    Gnostic spiritualistic allegorical nonsense.

    Could Russia be a bear?

    You are applying a prophecy to present literal political powers, aka Russia, but which was applicable to a power that existed in the time of Daniel. The bear which the prophecy refers to was Meda-Persia, which conquered the lion beast of Babylon, and was itself conquered by Greece. Whether...

    Is it biblical? - What does that even mean?

    @Jack Your understanding of eternal punishment, in common with so many others, insults God, destroys His character, and exalts the character and malignity and cruelty of satan. And yes. That teaching does not come from scripture, but was popularised by Dante. Contrary to the popular...

    How many kingdoms in Daniel?

    The Rock is indeed Christ, but the destruction referred to here is at His second coming, when He literally destroys all those powers whose philosophies, and predominant pagan religious elements were inherited by the sea beast of Revelation 13. All elements of the statue were destroyed at the...

    There is only one true church

    There are at least 2 different religions represented here. Catholicism. Holds tradition to be above scripture. Designates a coterie of priests and prelates as the only authorised teachers and expositors of Scripture. They themselves are subject to their superiors known as the magisterium...

    attacking another denomination are included in this rule.

    I agree with you, and did exactly that 27 years ago. Humbled myself, pleaded forgiveness for my backsliding, my lack of spiritual responsibility toward my family, allowing myself to revert into old habits. I asked for a fresh start. I discarded everything I had previously learned, except...

    attacking another denomination are included in this rule.

    And that's precisely what this thread is about. Numerous different denominations, sharing some beliefs, differing in others, but not allowed to discuss them because it is deemed as attacking by the denomination whose doctrine is being criticised. The result is that horrible compromising...
