The vain attempts to distance themselves from the Roman connection are merely an attempt to deny their true roots. The 4th beast of Daniel 7 is pagan Rome. The little horn that grew from that beast is papal Rome. The Papacy is and always was Roman, despite pretensions to the contrary.

I would assume you are referring to this, quoting me...That God is a vengeful tyrant intent on destroying his enemies, and presenting His laws as somehow oppressive and restrictions on liberty. What you are missing is the nuance that you guys apply to God, the vengeful tyrant whose intent and...

continuing.... The story of John Hus is very well known. In 1415 he was burned at the stake even though King Sigismund had guaranteed him safe conduct to defend himself at the Council of Constance (1414-1418). The remarkable fact is that Sigismund was encouraged to break his word by the Roman...

It has been suggested that the persecutions by Catholics against others was perpetrated by a few crazy individuals, but was not church policy. Shall we take a look and see just a little of that history of what some here are defending as the "one true church"? Let us look for example at the...

Concerning authority... 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. So, we have here an organized system, a...

That word 'hate' , is not necessarily an unchristian trait. Most would think it means you cannot love, but this is not so. The opposite of love is selfishness. One can hate someone of that individual poses a threat to rigorousness and good purpose, remember God is love, yet He hatred Esau...

Necessary to give context in this case, as it is clear that spiritual father is intended, as Christ would not condemn calling our early fathers, father. Also, BofL stipulated himself that the term father was always intended as a spiritual 'term of endearment'. And if I had not included the...

Friend, love is telling the truth. Biblical truth itself reveals clearly who the Antichrist is. As Daniel said, at the time of the end knowledge shall be increased. The knowledge of prophecy and the understanding of the mystery of iniquity, the understanding of history, and the ability for...

Call no man your 'spiritual' father, for you have but one Father, God. It is God who imparts to His children His Spirit, and His character. KJV Romans 8:29 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many...

It is interesting that the hatred towards Christianity displayed in these posts is borrowed from and founded upon the distorted teachings of medieval Rome... That God is a vengeful tyrant intent on destroying his enemies, and presenting His laws as somehow oppressive and restrictions on liberty...

Everything we do is a direct result of what we are. Changing what we do does not make us better people, because what we are is not a result of what we do. All we can do is modify some things, and hide others, but we stay essentially the same. Sinners. We are sinners by nature...we are not...

You do realize that occupying oneself with a purpose, like work, is healthy right? A brand new being without a clue as to why he's here, is given purpose and a sense of accomplishment after a day's labor. Not hard labor like today, there were no thorns, no weeds, just fruit everywhere, and all...

A God of love who desires to share everything that is good about life and relationships with His created brings did not want a forced subservience. Love is always a matter of choice. God was offering Adam and Eve a choice. It was actually a very easy one. One tree amongst thousands forbidden. It...

Nope. Nor would I agree with those numbers. Nominal Christians maybe, but the genuine article wouldn't amount to more than 10-15%, maybe. Like Jesus said, by their fruit you shall know them. How many Christians do you know living up to their profession of faith? The Bible is true alright, but...

You are correct, with a nuance that Barney mentioned. Catholicism is predominantly preterist, while protestantism is predominantly futurist. Both hermeneutics, believe it or not, developed and popularized by 2 Jesuits during the counter reformation, both being extremely short-sighted...

I would be interested in your understanding of this... KJV Revelation 12:15-16 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up...

And how is all that a reflection of biblical Christianity? Are not all those things affirmation that society is drawing further and further away from biblical Christianity?

Now it's getting clearer. No wonder you don't believe in God. The God you describe above? I don't believe in him either.

Your question is irrelevant seeing you aren't the one offering me eternal life. The Christian hope of a future life of joy and peace and happiness, without fear, or death, pain or sorrow, is founded on the character of the one who has promised. Not on the promises of someone who can't deliver.

So don't throw everything into the rubbish heap on account of error in some religious paradigms.
