Isn't that the way the "gospel" was lovingly spread throughout the dark ages?

Oh, and that change, that metamorphosis, that change in direction from being horizontally focused on conquering empires, also had an impact on how we were to view the prophecies from the time of the little horn into the future. From being literal localized political powers, as depicted by...

I want to add to the above. After these local literal powers were established, they did undergo a metamorphosis. This was indicated in the prophecies. In Daniel 8, a little horn arose from the four winds, at first conquering on a horizontal level. Having victories over other powers, taking land...

Okay. But you realize that not all non Catholic faiths cleave to those principles right? Some would say they cannot be alone, needing the others in order to fill the whole plan of salvation. Tell me. When Christ was in His most trying moments, on what did He rely on order to come out victorious?

Hi guys. Look. I don't altogether disagree with either of you. The holy Spirit is certainly sent by God to restrain sin. And yes, Daniel tells us of instances where angels intervened in the affairs of geopolitical politics in order to establish God's will in the earth. Even in us as individuals...

So you disagree with all of those? Even Christ alone? Or do you still support the traditional Catholic view that without the Pope no-one can be saved?

You are correct, it isn't the 12th century. And Aquinas was just continuing what by then had become well entrenched policy with Roman catholicism. The first 'heretics' murdered not looking after the council of Nicea and the dozen or so councils that followed it in as many years. 7, including...

The greatest and most eloquent defense for Sola scriptura is the history of the Roman church. Her crimes, her corruptions, her unholy assignations with the Kings of the world, her wars she waged against Christians from one end of the so called 'holy Roman empire' to the other. All based on the...

I am talking about the restrainer that Paul warned the Thessalonians would soon be removed, making way for the Antichrist. Paul told the Thessalonians first verbally, then again in this second letter, but didn't name it specifically having already done so. He is not talking about the little horn...

Protestants have dogmas????

They are wrong when they replace, or displace, the commandments of God. KJV Matthew 15:6-9 6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This...

At least you recognize it is tradition, and not biblically grounded. That's a good start.

Yep. We are all temples... Just not all of God.

Davy, where have you been? This thread is over 1000 posts long... Those texts you quoted above have been repeatedly quoted by every Sunday keeper on this thread possibly 3 or 4 times each, with each one being responded to with explanations which clearly and scripturally reveal that none of those...

Just gotta say, so proud of New Zealand being 13th in the world in the medal tally at the Olympics. And well done Australia also being in 6th place. I think per Capita, both Nations can be pretty chuffed.

I used to play representative rugby at junior level. The rules today are incredibly complicated, especially in the scrums. I was a hooker. Things used to be so much simpler.

Cheers.

In other words. What is the link between the pagan Roman empire which in the prophecies clearly continues from the time of Paul all the way to the second coming? Where is Rome in the 11th century? Where is Rome in the 16th century? Where is Rome, and for that matter the remnants of all the other...

That is a truth which generically speaking alludes to most instances. But in war and conquest, in the rise and fall of empires, this is not always so, and in the specific prophecy of Daniel and Paul, Satan is at work through all the powers of the world conniving and establishing the mystery of...

Did not Babylon for a time hold back Meda-Persia? Did not Persia for a time hold back Greece? Did not Greece for a time hold back Rome? The early church fathers recognized, while living during the time of the Roman empire, that when Rome, like all powers eventually do, will "fall away", there...
