Accidentally or purposeful, it is highly significant that those two concepts of government, American republicanism and global tyranny should be lumped together in one space. It is worrying that Americans cannot see their own Christian ministers and pastors leading them into tyranny.

It's called projection.

God warned and warned Israel that their apostasy would not go unpunished. Yet they murdered those sent to them. Why cannot Catholics perceive that the same God will deal with Rome according to her deeds as He did with Israel? What makes Rome impervious to judgement, particularly when she is...

You do realize that I covered just two aspects of one verse right? And even then, not to the depth that could be mined. Revelation. 13 is an entire chapter, all of it supporting those two aspects...a global spiritual entity that began immediately after the fall of pagan Rome, and continues to...

Mmm. God forbid that a gun permit be withheld from an insane psychopath with a penchant for wife abuse.

Thank you. The first issue I have is your understanding of the term beast. KJV Revelation 13:1 1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. I believe...

Thank you for explaining what you believe Revelation 13 depicts. I see a few slight difference to the way I see it, and one very big difference that changes the entire picture. May I show you my understanding?

Of course one is above the other. In order to have ecclesiastical authority which you claim is the Hallmark of catholicism, a hierarchal order is imperative. Doctrines not found in scripture are the proof of this. Tradition became entrenched, the magisterium then made the tradition official...

America was founded by people escaping from persecution in Europe and wanting the freedom to worship according to their conscience. Jefferson, Madison et al were experimenting on something never before attempted in human history. A nation without a king and a religion without a pope. Yet they...

I interpreted it??? I simply pointed out a common practise between catholicism in having a king over them to tell them what is truth, and ancient Israel who did the same... Both with similar results.

The Bible... Oh wait. Waste of time quoting the Bible when you're traditions are more important right? You practise your religion, I'll practise mine. Just don't burn me to death for doing so. Repeat? I wasn't aware I had even started.

And Catholics have the cheek to deny their church suppressed the Bible during the dark ages. For goodness sake, that's why they were dark. And here they are still attempting to denigrate scripture and make it secondary in principle to their own traditions and teachings. Don't know why they don't...

Sure, even more so. Unlike him I'm not a trinitarian.

Interesting @APAK .

Great strawman. Be so kind as to point out the poster, even any reformer, who claimed to formulate doctrine without consultation to God. I thought Jesuits were more subtle than this.

Enoch wasn't they one that posed the hypothetical question. And you charged him with putting words in Jesus mouth. Wouldn't that be true of anyone who attempted an answer?

When I first became an Adventist, it was a further 5 years before I actually became a member of the church. Along the way I did visit a few churches, and found some good, some bad. Just as in one church there are people within it, some good, some bad. It would be a fool who would attempt to...

I guess you are relieved to have been released from the law against lying, idolatry, stealing, and coveting too right?

Because the manner in which those 'words from scripture' is formulated is in the form of a prayer to a dead person. Since when has such a practise been 'biblical', and since when do Catholics defend their traditions by referencing scripture? I thought the infallible word of the king trumped...

It's a hypothetical question that no-one could know how Jesus would answer. I can imagine the Pharisees and lawyers rehearsing series of questions and challenges in order to tap Jesus into answering questions according to their devising in order to accuse Him. They lost every time. Even their...
