    Biblical Mary

    Continued.... There is a twist to all this however, because Rome at that time was under an occupying power, and enemies to the Byzantine emperor, it was necessary that the city be liberated before the pontiff could exercise his new found authority. Legal authority is issues unless it could be...

    Biblical Mary

    KJV Revelation 13:2 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. That dragon was the same dragon that stood before the woman to destroy the...

    Biblical Mary

    You are correct about Constantine. His involvement in the establishment of the Papacy had been overrated. The actual establishment of the Papacy didn't take place until 200 odd years later, and the emperor involved in that was Justinian.

    What do SDAs believe?

    Rechoired would answer you far better than I, but the way I see it is this. Jesus was born of a woman who inherited the same nature as David and Abraham and Adam. The Catholic alternative that creates a sinless Mary in order that Jesus could be born sinless is a far worse proposition. Think...

    What do SDAs believe?

    Sin nature, or fallen flesh nature with the possibility of sinning. There is a difference.

    Rome are advocates for original sin. We are not. I would think that's a major difference.

    God changed Seventh Day Sabbath Worship to First Day of the Week

    The requirements of obedience to God are the same throughout all ages. The standard to which we are called to attain remains the same as it always was. The means by which we obey remains the same throughout all ages. The just shall live by faith. The so called old covenant was a one way promise...

    What do SDAs believe?

    Your entire life is governed by law. Gravity. Traffick laws. Dietary laws. ( Yes, if you don't eat, you die). Jesus spoke of some laws such as affecting all of humanity....it's more blessed to give than receive... Give, and it shall be given unto you... Government directives and laws... Local...

    Could the mark of the beast actually be a literal mark?

    It the mark is literal, then it can be forced. Your can be held down while the mark is placed on you against your will. Which makes the entire concept of God's judgement upon those who received the mark an unjust farce.

    3 Spiritual laws that govern life. “For I delight in Law One: ……….The law of God. after the inward man”…..(Romans 7:22) Paul has nothing but love and respect for God’s law. He considers it ‘holy, just and good’. It is Paul’s earnest and deepest desire to honour that law, and to keep all the...

    Elizabeth doesn't call Mary a tree. She said Jesus was the fruit of the womb. Nothing more, nothing less. Your attempt to make the righteousness of Christ dependant upon the righteousness of Mary is Antichrist.

    He isn't fruit at all. He's the Vine, the source of all things. Not Mary.

    That is such blatant heresy. It's idolatry... It's blasphemy... It's Antichrist. But hey, it's Catholic, so par for the course.

    God changed Seventh Day Sabbath Worship to First Day of the Week

    Okay. Are you expecting me to disagree with that word of God? Or that it would compel me to cease from trusting in God's grace that I may obey God's commandments?

    That is a true but mostly unrecognized facet of OT Sabbath history. I am surprised you know of it... God bless.

    Is smoking a sin?

    None of them. I'm not saying that smoking is automatically sinful. Nor even though it may be, does not necessarily bring about condemnation. To him who is convicted to stop by the holy Spirit, and casts such conviction aside deliberately in order to continue in whatever habit he was so informed...
