    Are our Institutions Crumbling?

    Pause God for your freedom, welcome back to the real world. There is coming a time very soon when the institutions we once trusted I on will be removed from our lives. They will no longer serve our interests, we will be without benefits, pensions, housing, jobs, income. The warning of Revelation...

    The Sabbath Day

    Please forgive me if I have missed it over the years, but I haven't seen any response from the anti sabbatarians concerning one interesting, even remarkable thing one doesn't see anywhere in the book of Acts, that being the glaring lack of any dispute, controversy, argument, debate, accusation...

    Are our Institutions Crumbling?

    It isn't a fantasy to see the obvious makings of a union of church and state in the United States. And when I read prophecy in Revelation 13, the answer is yes, it absolutely is a greater concern. What is even more concerning is that the people of God are too fast asleep to recognise what's...

    Are our Institutions Crumbling?

    You are welcome to start a thread. But I hadn't heard of it until I read the following just lasy week, yet apparently it has been the big discussion point for w hile, and if you take a llok at the Google search enegine, the fact check folk are working overtime trying to diffuse the apparent...

    Are our Institutions Crumbling?

    There is a greater concern... The church cleaving to the idea that politics is the solution to the church's problems. Even America's problems. The continuing evangelical hope that Trump is going to ride in on his white horse and save Christianity, and America, from imminent defeat at the hands...

    An article of faith

    Let me quote Jesus... KJV Luke 11:5-13 5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? 7 And he from within...

    Are our Institutions Crumbling?

    There was a question posed by the pastor at church yesterday... Where does the greatest pressures come from as far as faith and practise? Persecution on Christians as individuals in the western world is not as dire as in for example, Saudi Arabia or Iran. But Satan is using other means to...

    Are our Institutions Crumbling?

    There has been a worrying development in New Zealand recently with regards freedom of religion. The NZ Ministry of Education is requesting Bethlehem College of Tauranga to remove any reference to its belief in Christian monogamous female/male only marriage from its list of beliefs. How far the...

    2nd Commandment - No idols/Graven Images

    Yep, quite convenient to have that embarrassing image bit removed, it also takes care of any confusion as to why the Catholic Church sees itself as having the authority to change the ten commandments that God wrote with His own finger. We can change the Sabbath to Sunday, and all protestants...

    The Sabbath Day

    This is based on KJV Galatians 3:24 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. I agree with this statement. The law leads to Christ. Now compare carefully that to KJV Romans 10:4 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness...

    The Sabbath Day

    Interesting response. Aggressive.. Adamant... Accusatory. And all I did was quote one scripture text. And you think that your scripture text can shout louder than mine. In other words, Paul was being legalistic when he wrote to the Romans, and being gracious when writing to the Galatians. Why no...

    Catholics; Do You Believe This?

    KJV Romans 5:1-2 1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

    The Sabbath Day

    It is no accident that a NT maxim says... The doers of the law shall be justified. Romans 2:13

    2nd Commandment - No idols/Graven Images

    You can't count to 2?

    This really grabbed me today!

    How many Jews were around when the 7th day was made holy? Can you inform us when God removed the holiness from that day? And the connection with the Sabbath is.... So only those 4 were essential? Which leaves adultery and theft and idolatry okay?

    Catholics; Do You Believe This?

    Ellen White defined no doctrine. Prophetic it otherwise. She did however confirm the studies of her contemporaries, which by and large confirmed the studies of dozens of reformers over the previous 600 years. Even your own church fathers saw the Antichrist as coming to power the moment pagan...

    When did Daniel 7:13-14 happen?

    Impossible, for several reasons.

    When did Daniel 7:13-14 happen?

    Mmm. Far easier to say, its all in the future. That way the icky stuff to do with the papal Antichrist can be forgotten or ignored and all we have to worry about is some imaginary mythical anti super hero of the indefinite future.
