    Interesting. I don't know about the inner workings and goals of the government there, I was merely quoting verbatim a report from people on the ground at the time this took place, by those involved in those events. Don't discount God's power to work miracles even contrary to government policy. I...

    What is the one true Church?

    I would suggest something a little different... The "Spirit giving life" means giving understanding of what Jesus was saying... That the bread of life is not literal bread, not His literal body, or as Catholics believe, a combination of both, but rather the word of God. Man lives "by every word...

    What is the one true Church?

    We clearly have a different definition about what constitutes the 'church'. The church I am saying will come under judgement is that church, which I'm the end comprises Babylon the Great and as you pointed out, will be a conglomerate of numerous different religions, sects, faiths, denominations...

    What is the one true Church?

    One of, if not the most beautiful prayer in scripture... KJV Daniel 9:4-14 4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; 5 We have sinned...

    What is the one true Church?

    In other words, it seems you are agreeing with the rest of the anti Sabbath movement, in order to disentangle themselves from the seemingly insurmountable burden of the Sabbath, Christians need to invent the premise that they are no longer bound to obey any of God's commandments, not even the...

    What is the one true Church?

    As you said, holy days such as Easter... Christmas day formerly the Mithra day of the sun, sol Invictus. Sunday, an extension of the same. But it was the establishment of Sunday in particular that brought about apostasy because it replaced, by force of law and persecution, the true Sabbath. I...

    What is the one true Church?

    The scriptures tell us that in transgressing one point of law, we transgress all, thus all are guilty before a holy God: sinners, lost, condemned, destined for destruction. The same scriptures tell us however, praise God, that Christ's blood and self sacrifice has redeemed us from the law and...

    What is the one true Church?

    You believe the power of the gospel falls short in delivering people from the sinful aspects of culture like idolatry and temple prostitution? And you are correct, there are pagan relics that were "baptized" and repurposed... But that practise resulted in apostasy and the fall of the church...

    What is the one true Church?

    "The Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath day". There is no "Jewish" Sabbath. The 7th day of the week is the Lord's day, not the Jews', the church's, or anyone else's, it's the Lord's. The first day of the week, well, you can do what you like with that. But attempting to make it holy, sacred...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    Just a reminder, that this place where the carcasses/corpses are laying, is the surface of the earth after the plagues have fallen prior to the second coming. The remnant that remain, the redeemed, both the living that are translated, and the dead that are resurrected, will witness all of this...

    Why Hell is not a place of eternal conscious torment.

    One could put it this way... Death is the inevitable result for one who isn't given eternal life. It is a knowledge of Jesus that saves us from death (John 17:3), that is, eternal destruction (not eternal destroying, nor eternal dying, but a final absolute state of existence). Nowhere in...

    What is the one true Church?

    There is no connect between the Sabbath and your eucharist. And rather than deal at length with your misplaced Catholic theology, I shall refer you to just 2 verses which ought to speak to you regarding truth, if you have ears to hear. KJV John 6:63, 68 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the...

    What is the one true Church?

    That is grossly misleading, and a denial of the power of the gospel, (2 Tim. 3:1-5) assuming those who were converted to Christ in those earlier years never repented and never forsook their past lives. Only a hundred years after the death of the apostle John, the Assyrian Christians had planted...

    What is the one true Church?

    Yes, so you keep claiming, but without a shred of evidence in support of your claim that the weekly Sabbath was being referenced in those verses. As I explained above, (did you read it?) the weekly Sabbath was never instituted as a shadow, as it was blessed and sanctified before sin. There...

    Understanding Fascism

    You unwittingly described the Catholic Church. Fascinating insights, and I wonder if Paxton saw a parallel there?

    If the miracle of individual conversions wasn't enough, God also worked a miracle in having the government offer not only amnesty, but the tools to live a productive life. I am reminded of mi the grace and mercy of God in the OT story of 2 Kings 6:13-23. How we underestimate God's power and...

    This is Genuine Revival

    The Philippines was mired in conflict with rebels on Mindoro Island for 52 years. Land and money were offered to the rebels in exchange for peace, but nothing seemed to work. A seemingly endless cycle of ambushes and counterattacks left 40,000 people dead. In 2017, Adventist World Radio (AWR)...

    Time is up!! Jesus is returning and rapture (catching up) time is here!!

    Okay, I did expect that reply. Despite several scriptures stating clearly that those in Christ who had died are asleep in the dust of the earth, your by no means unpopular opinion is that they are contrariwise for the last 2000 years, more or less, have been enjoying the bliss and happiness of...

    Time is up!! Jesus is returning and rapture (catching up) time is here!!

    @Bible Highlighter KJV Matthew 13:41 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; KJV Matthew 13:49 49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from...

    Time is up!! Jesus is returning and rapture (catching up) time is here!!

    Everywhere else in scripture we are told that Jesus returns in the company of millions of angels. He comes in His own glory, and glory of the Father, and the glory of the angels. The suggestion that those following Him are redeemed saints denies the resurrection and the catching up, and is but...
