If there is anything we do or don't do that can be defined as sin, then I think it's a given that we must turn around and do the opposite. From sin to righteousness. From rebelliousness to righteousness. Obedience to God has never been optional.

Not at all. If one is under the condemnation of the law, it is because of disobedience to one of its precepts. Right? If one obeys all the commandments, and in Christ we not only have the power over sin, sin no longer having dominion over us, but Christ's righteousness is imputed as well as...

The only ones under the law are those who disobey it. The law doesn't bother anyone who obeys. Fairly simple concept really. As Jesus replied to the inquiring lawyer... What must I do to inherit eternal life? Keep the Commandments. Everyone knows though that on our own, such is impossible...

KJV Revelation 20:9 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. This passage is speaking of the literal city, the new Jerusalem that descends out of heaven at...

Where you err is in the fact that Babylon the Great, the apostate system you speak of, is a global enterprise. You are keeping it local. Spiritual Israel, the true church, is global. Babylon, the spiritual apostate Christian entity, is also global. Also, the consensus with very few exceptions...

It's not me describing the earth, its scripture. KJV Isaiah 24:18-20 18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the...

The question I would have at this point is, where will all these folks live, considering the earth itself is utterly broken, destroyed, and every vestige of man's inventiveness and prowess laid in ruin? And from where will he obtain food, considering all agriculture and manufacturer utterly...

No-one should think that they can separate the law from the gospel.On many occasions the Pharisees in their hypocrisy were roundly and rightly rebuked by Jesus for thinking that by keeping the law they would be saved; on one such occasion Jesus said: Matthew 23:23 “Woe to you, scribes and...

The two greatest salvational events in history... First, the coming of Messiah, which includes His death and resurrection. Second, the reformation. The setting free of those bound captive to papal tyranny and deception. There is a third yet to take place, the physical appearance and coming of...

Continued.... Notice that it is the people, (the ‘they in verse 14) who under recommendation from the state power, create this image, another church/state union, and it is the second beast, or nation, that gives the church/state union its power. And notice that this nation with the horns like a...

Back to the Antichrist... God’s love: infinite, abundant,unreserved,unconditional. God so loves the world, that there is not one person, living or dead, that Jesus did not die for. The apostle Paul says that if God was so willing to give His Son, He along with His Son willingly offers...

If your search for truth brings the same kind of result as your present understanding of Adventist teaching and worldview, I don't hold much hope for you. But rest assured, you aren't alone I in your self induced ignorance of adventism. As Barney said, there are numerous web sites and blogs...

That sounds like North Auckland without the hurricanes. What are you doing there?

8 or more entirely different versions of events and characters just in this thread alone. All taking their part in Babylon... Confusion. What's sad, even terrifying, is that all of you are teaching this as if it's absolutely truth and you have no error, or room for change. What you all have in...

Many scholars had the same mindset well before the reformation. And the SDA understanding is the only eschatological system of prophetic interpretation that incorporates an unbroken chain of harmony that links all prophecy together. I was studying prophecy for 25 years before approaching the...

The letters not counted had no numerical value. That's the nature of Latin.

The ten horns of the 4th beast of Daniel 7 and not the same horns that destroy the whore. Remember, 3 of the first 10 were destroyed before the 6th century. Spiritual Babylon that rules globally in the future will have 10 kings incorporated in it's administration, likely ruling over 10 regional...

Continuing... The woman riding the beast of Revelation 17 is the next stage. Still we have the church dominating the state power and forming a union with it. This final union of church and state is Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots, a global tyranny that will persecute God's people...

There are different beasts symbolizing different powers at different times, having several similar characteristics that unite them in goals, philosophy, and satanic Genesis, yet they are represented in reality by different governments, rulers, territories and time. Remember, beasts are not...

Alexander's rule, after several skirmishes and squabbles within the leadership, shirtless itself down to 4 generals who divided the empire between themselves. Ptolemy, Lactantius, Cassander, and Seleucus. After time these 4 became 2... King of the North, and king of the south as described in...
