No. I reject utterly your church's misuse of Scripture and historical political power and fraudulent documents to support the exercise of tyrannical imposition of church tradition and man-made decrees that denied religious liberty to millions over many centuries. I also reject your so called...

You've succeeded in totally confusing me with a baffling mix of presumption with regards my beliefs, a failure to recognise sarcasm, and an array of beliefs that bear little or no relation to scripture, all based on a blind rejection of at least 2 biblical truths... there is no immortal...

Tell me guys. I agree with you regarding the moral law. The moral law covers our relationships with others. Commandments 5-10. But we are also commanded to love God. The first 4 commandments. Worship God only. No idols or graven images. No taking the name of the Lord in vain. No...

Where does he say any of that? The law was never added to the gospel. It was always a part of the gospel. The entire purpose of the gospel is to restore a right relationship between man and His God. That must include obedience to the law. It was disobedience to the law that caused the fall...

When I received Christ as my Saviour, I also accepted Him as my Lord, confessing Him as my Creator/Maker, and thus unconsciously at the time, committing myself to a life of obedience. It wasn't long before God challenged me as to how far I was willing to go. That challenge came to me in the...

Says it all? Really? What part do you object to? It seems to me that everything you post as an objection to the Sabbath and the 10 commandments in general, is merely an excuse for not obeying. Just believe, and you are righteous. I suggest your faith is insufficient. You believe you are...

Hi MoG, I wasn't citing those footnotes as evidence for Sabbath keeping. They were simply indicative of the broad base of research carried out by the writer of that particular book, who I respect as an historian for that very reason. The book itself is written not primarily to provide...

You keep erecting that straw man which everyone accepts. We all know that obedience as a means to salvation is a flawed concept. No one teaches it, and no one I know practises it. Why don't you use that same tactic against those who advocate the keeping of the 6th commandment? This...

Either way it makes no difference. True Israel is the church, which includes those Israelites who have received Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

With respect to Sabbath keeping by the Ethiopian church, Wilkinson gave us a more complete picture, quoting Geddes below (italics) Sabbathkeeping among the Abyssinians is especially worthy of notice. Of them the historian Gibbon fittingly remarks, “Encompassed on all sides by the enemies of...

Love that book. That reference of fn4 wasn't offered by the author as evidence for Sabbath observance, but for the Apostolic origins of the Ethiopian church. Which point I was at pains to make in referencing the church in the Wilderness, showing that Rome was never "the one true church", but...

So now it is up to you to prove that keeping Sunday, a tradition of the Catholic Church, is more moral than obeying a specific commandment of God. Also, I would be interested if you care to defend Sunday as merely "ceremonial"? No-one I know, either Jewish or Seventh Day Adventist or Seventh...

Noted, and answered.

Actually, I learn from historians who use multiple resources, both Catholic and non Catholic: the one i referred you to was one of many, for example, one historian who i trust and whose work I reference often refers to Alphonse Mingana ( “Early Spread of Christianity,” Bulletin of John...

Readers Digest? I think you could do a lot better than that.

The principle defence of Catholicism against the charges of being the antichrist of Scripture is based on Scripture, as it should be, and specifically on the declaration by the apostle John that the antichrist, not necessarily by confession, but by practise and teaching, deny that the Son...

Mmm. The Pharisees were intent on making their proselytes according to their own image. Jesus makes His chosen in His own image. “13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them...

Anyone familiar with prophecy would recognise the predominant Greek nature of Babylon the Great, that apostate Christian institution that is to dominate world politics and religion in the near future... “1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having...

So long as they didn't eat food sacrificed to idols, and they didn't drink blood, they were good to go? What about adultery? Murder? How about having sex with your neighbours sheep? Please explain why the Laodicean church council several hundred years later found it necessary to propose a law...
