It's fascinating how definite... How devoid of doubt or error...Like an absolute truth...Epi is in his perceptions of others characters and motives.

That act of justification, all included in Christ's death, applies to the whole world. No-one is excluded. However, those who refuse the offer of salvation and refuse to believe, take back their sins upon themselves, choosing to die the second death themselves rather than the Son of God. Some...

One more point. The Antichrist itself boasts as to what it's mark of ecclesiastical authority is. "Sunday is the central doctrine of the Catholic Church from which all her other doctrines emanate". This is from the Catechism... Not however a verbatim quote. Can you see how the buy and sell...

I have good reason to offer the above advice... Your eschatology is as confusing as Babylon itself. Like others here, you are using disparate verses from here and there and made to force fit a preconceived theory. You mock, as others do, SDA eschatology, yet you fail to grasp the very first...

She fails to recognize the spiritual truth that being born again literally changes a person here on earth from being a hopeless sinner and unable to know God, to one who may partake now of the divine nature and overcome sin. She fails to see that the kingdom is within us, and Jesus living within...

Remembering my own experience of conversion... Born again... Was the result of my realization that in God's eyes, my way of life was not up to His holy standard. I wasn't considering the law at all, whether Moses'law or God's. A friend had simply asked me, "do I think my lifestyle meets with...

Babylon is forming in the world right now before your very eyes, is as religious as you could possibly imagine, and you can't see it. Explains why the whole world, including every denomination and nation, and yes, even some in my own, will be deceived by her lies and receive the beast's mark...

I will dare to offer a response. Have you considered that the life we receive is conditional? That eternal life, the very same life that the Father gave Jesus as His inheritance, is conditional in the same way Jesus' life was conditional?

Attention seekers? So now you think you know my heart? I'll accept your explanation re the above, I'm not going to argue over your perception of another.

Common sense doesn't enter into the equation. It's about the character and nature of the one speaking. Babylon is an apostate system, a global church opposed to the true church, the remnant. When she claims she is no widow she is claiming to be married to the Lord. She is lying. The true Bride...

They don't believe their own scriptures, they didn't in Jesus day, and their apostasy is only deepening. That does not mean they cannot come to Christ, but I don't think it will be through their reading of scripture. It'll be as the NT stipulates... Through preaching.

Luther would have been a breath of fresh air compared to the Jews recent experiences at the hands of Catholicism. While I agree that we must respond favorably to God's covenant promises in order to receive them, the covenants nevertheless are one way promises, to be received by faith. God does...

Unless of course Babylon's declaration that she is "no widow" is a lie from an apostate system.

But no respect for Christ, rather hatred.

From the little I have read or heard, modern day rabbis would be more familiar with the Talmud, not Torah.

To be quite frank with you, I am wondering if you are addressing a different Marks than the one I know. Really, that one you are describing, I haven't met.

We are perfect in our own sphere of revelation. As the holy Spirit awakens us to our sins, deformities and shortcomings, we surrender ourselves anew to God's working His righteousness in us, and we are accounted holy and perfect in His sight. This may sound like a paradox, but righteousness by...

There is a vast difference between "sinners of the gentiles" and those in Christ who through closeness to Him recognize their own deficiencies. I hope I don't come across as if I'm using a confession of weakness and awareness of the necessity to cling to Christ (for without Him I am nothing)...

Would we not all be destroyed by Satan if not for his explicit and personal protection? Does the scripture not say that if not for His mercy we would all likewise perish? Against whom does the whole armor of God work it's wonders? Who is trying to destroy us? Against whom is the wrath of the...

Maybe your mistaking false modesty with candid realism. As one draws closer to Jesus, the deeper the work of sanctification becomes. One becomes more aware of the depth of the roots of wickedness one has in his character, and surrenders more earnestly and hungers and thirsts for the promised...
