    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    The crusades weren't only taken out against Muslims though huh.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Pitting Catholics against Catholics? If this was all that Rome was guilty of, inciting a few wars between themselves, I'm fairly certain such minor infractions on the global scale of things wouldn't have reached the history books and memories of so many diverse cultures across the planet, unless...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    True. But it helps in understanding why and the prophetic implications. Which is why, as Adventists, our biblical prophetic worldview gives us an advantage. Not only does it afford is an accurate and current perspective of prophecy, but gives us a clear picture to a degree, of the major players...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    And yet how do you explain that Noah, Abraham, and others were described by inspiration as being righteous?

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Thank you for that, I appreciate it. Can I then ask you for your opinion on my posts 755 and 756? I know you won't like them, but I would like a biblical reason why I should fully trust in the church... Being your church obviously... When there are examples of dogma or doctrine that is either...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Hahahaha, BoL, you are a hard case. I wasn't trying to refute any of your arguments. Read my response carefully. It is asking for confirmation of what you are telling me. I am asking if I am right in my understanding of what you are saying. You are so bent toward aggressive and defensive...

    Why did God create Satan?

    Surely you must agree that good and evil are diametrically opposed to one another? Would you also agree that both concepts had their beginnings in 2 seperate beings, one infinite, and the created/finite? If evil therefore had a finite beginning in Lucifer/Satan, the concept of good must have...

    Why did God create Satan?

    Can't agree with that. A good biblical worldview does not necessitate evil. One doesn't need evil in order to recognise what is good. And vice versa. Neither can coexist... Darkness cannot withstand light, so they cannot balance or blend. Evil has not always existed, for it had a beginning with...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    KJV Luke 24:39 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Perfection is attainable, but it doesn't mean what most think. A rose bud, although immature and only a third of its way into a short life, can be perfect in its own sphere. Just as it's opening to half a bloom, and full bloom a few days later. Something to seriously consider. KJV Ephesians...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Mmmm. Nothing so far from posters in this conversation has convinced me that America isn't in trouble. However, I could add a few more reasons I think.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Some will respond to the above by starting the obvious, that many have claimed to be following scripture but have gone off the rails and ended up being responsible for the lives of hundreds who believed them. The thing about that is, if those hundreds had gone to scripture to confirm whether...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I agree actually. But this discussion is about authority, and it seems to me that BoL is saying that we can go to scripture so long as we like, but if the church says something else, we gotta take the church's word over scripture. Tradition and the idea that the church decides what scripture...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    After my acceptance of Sabbath keeping as a legitimate Christian practice over 25 years ago, and appreciating and accepting certain other doctrines that I had come to believe in which were accepted within the Adventist church, it still took me 5 years before I was willing to actually join the...
  16. Christian Nationalism, Zionism, and the Answer to the Impending NWO.

    Christian Nationalism, Zionism, and the Answer to the Impending NWO.

    Christians, even those nominally as such but politically conservative, for some time now have been transfixed and literally gob smacked by the seeming suddenness and strength of the many and varied aspects of left/liberal moral principles legislated by recent state and federal authorities in the...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    What is more sad is that not only is that carnal mind at enmity with God and cannot obey the laws of God, but modern Christians, unlike those of years not so distant past, don't want to obey and search diligently for reasons why they shouldn't have to!!!

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Let me tell you a little almost secret... In fact, not really a secret at all as Adventists have known this for 180 odd years, and have been more than happy to tell others all about it, the problem is that among those 'others' are some who have no real interest in the truth, and rely on...
