    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    Yes, God keeps His promises... Covenants. But covenants are two way agreements. A covenant is broken if one party reneged on their part of the bargain, regardless of the faithfulness of the other party. Israel failed on their part. Abysmally and repeatedly.

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    To whom it may concern, and I think that is many.... KJV Hebrews 8:6-8 6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no...

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    That's your spin. For a law that had endured for over 1000 years, and you offer that dubious interpretation and hazy text as your evidence that God changed His law that Jesus had previously said would never change? I'm not buying it.

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

    We are in the midst of a battle for supremacy over minds and hearts of men. Either you belong to the kingdom of this world, or the kingdom of heaven. The two principles contending for supremacy cannot coexist. You are either in one or the other. Obey God, or man. Your choice. Just don't be the...

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

    No-one is suggesting otherwise. What we are saying is that once a Christian, one must reconcile himself with who is sovereign, who has ultimate authority over your life, and who you render obedience to. You are already saved, justified. But to what purpose? Deciding on your own terms who you...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I have no argument that your chosen "church fathers" saw Rome as the centre of their universe. Rome was the capital of the Empire until the 4th century and the centre of economic and political power, so why should they not think it the centre of religious power as well? But that mindset wasn't...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Indeed. Who is teaching scripture and exalting Christ, and who isn't? There are2 principles in the world fighting for supremacy. One is the principle of love, freedom, and mercy as exemplified in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ . The other is the principle of coercion, slander, lies...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I belong to a denomination to whom I have surrendered allegiance. I will obey and hear my elders so long as they bear witness to the truth as taught in the scriptures. I am allowed freedom of conscience. Freedom of conscience and the right to think for oneself is a gift of God and does not...

    Who is the AntiChrist? (Identifying Him)

    Those 7 years are a hoax. A lie. The 70 weeks of Daniel 9 are already completed. The covenant was already confirmed by their Messiah. 3 and a half years personally, them 3 and a half years by the apostles. That completed the final 7. The stoning of Steven by the Sanhedrin was Israel's last act...

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    And with all your challenging against the Sabbath, is that all you have in response to the thread title? Where in scripture is there a sacredness for any day other than the Sabbath?

    KJV Exodus 20:10 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: KJV Matthew 12:8 8 For the Son of man is Lord even...

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    It isn't an Israeli Sabbath or a Jewish Sabbath. It is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. It is His day. Not mine, yours, or anyone else's. It's the Lord's Day. Jesus loudly and clearly claimed the Sabbath as His own. "I am the Lord of the Sabbath day. And I gave it to man for His good. "

    There many. You just don't believe what God is telling you.

    There's no command for you to drink water, but you do it anyway to live right? Keep the Sabbath and live.

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    Yes, I knew that. But it needs to make sense contextually of you are going to read it as week... The first day after Sabbath... The second day after Sabbath... The third day after Sabbath etc etc is how the Jews counted their days. They did not have pagan names for their days, everything...

    Is Sunday sacredness in the Bible?

    So you really truly think that Paul is telling the church, "make up your own mind whether you want to obey his commandments or not... God's okay with it either way". Doesn't sound like Paul to me. So I think he's talking about other days. Fast days. Feast days. Ceremonial days such as great of...

    Would like to see what evidence and context you are using to say the above.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Well, not quite. According to you I was at least half right. You haven't quoted any popes from the first 5 centuries or so quoting Matthew in support of succession, papal primacy etc. And your early church influencers had issues. Not only did they disagree with each other on some issues, they...
