Upon reading this, tell me if I'm wrong in concluding that in summary, I could say Catholics believe their salvation comes from the sinless life of Christ? That the merits of His life is imparted to the repentant sinner and is thus saved from sin? That's the gospel according to catholicism? A...

No. Sorry, doesn't help. Your first mistake is correctly stating previously that beasts are political entities, not individuals, and then stating the second beast as being an individual. Second, you are failing to accurately identify the beasts and horns on Daniel 7, you aren't taking into...

No, it went much further than that. First, they made their understanding of scripture a test of fellowship and a test of faith. Second, their understanding of scripture included assumptions on how the unity of the Godhead operated in relation to one another. For example, it is stated in the...

Lol

You don't need the trinity to appreciate the truth of Jesus bring fully man and fully God. The trinity was superfluous to requirements, and the means by which the official state church established the trinity as doctrine ought to make it's supporters blush with shame.

Your post might bring peace and reassurance to some, but what if the NWO, the WEF, etc, was being run in conjunction with the Vatican, maybe even in subjection to them, and the Pope himself even now placing himself in the eyes of the world as the only viable candidate to head it up...

Sorry, but I have read and gone over this 4 or 5 times and I'm totally confused. You are switching back and forth between Revelation and Daniel, mixing the beasts and their characteristics, and with respect, not making much sense at all. Some things you offer are great, but then you attach those...

Express image in character, power, righteousness, holiness, in everything equal to His Father, except for one thing, which you readily recognize, authority. That the Son is submitted to God's Father's authority and rank does not remove one iota of His deity.

Family. Adopted. Chosen. The Bible tells us we are slaves to righteousness. By choice as children of the source of righteousness. To them that received Him gave He power to become the children of God. Family.

The good part is that Jesus promised that he who is set free by Christ, is free indeed. Yet first we must surrender to His kingship. If ye love Me, keep My commandments. He to whom we submit, to Him we become servants. Yet Jesus said to those who love Him, I call you not servants, but brothers...

Jesus promised us freedom form sin? Horrors!!! What a fearful thought...surely God doesn't want us to be free from sin. I mean, if that were so, surely we would be discussing such an idea more often right, and celebrating in hope and faith? But that isn't happening is it. So can't be true.

"The waters He called seas". We have little comprehension as to the nature of geography before the flood. There was water. There was land. How they related to one another we simply don't know. My guess is that because of what we know of the nature of God, that He desires and treasures...

I find it incredible there are still Christians who are still, after years of study and discussion, still using Colossians 2:16,17 as a defense for setting aside the 4th commandment, and believing that the historical changes to the calendars altered the continuance and unchanging cycle of the...

I believe some are. As in any denomination and faith, there are some who live fully in harmony with what light and understanding they have, and express that faith in love and hope of the resurrection. Just as there are some who have great light, but sin by not living room accordance to that...

Yes. For example, Caiaphas, Judas. Neither fully understood Jesus and who He is, but Jesus certainly knew them.

The Abingdon Bible Commentary of 1929 (compiled by some 66 professors of biblical exegesis, biblical languages, theology, Christian doctrine and church history etc.) has the following to say with reference to the words “express image” (KJV) “The word translated ‘very image’ means, literally, the...

Hebrews 1:5. When did that take place? Especially when read in context with verse 6?

Did the creeds solve the problems of heresy, or did they set up more of a different nature, and cloud the reality of truth in further controversy?

You are right, there are problems with the core creedal concepts of trinitarian doctrine, just don't throw out the baby etc. There is also truth in trinitarianism. Rejecting the whole for the sake of some error is a mistake. Accepting the whole for the sake of some truth is also error. Accept...

Except for one glaring fact. God sent His only begotten Son. He didn't send His adopted son. Or created son. Or imaginary son. Only begotten has that very important component of being unique... Only one of a kind. Begotten that way. Born. The Father/Son paradigm is literal, real, and is a...
