The Bible... Oh wait. Waste of time quoting the Bible when you're traditions are more important right? You practise your religion, I'll practise mine. Just don't burn me to death for doing so. Repeat? I wasn't aware I had even started.

And Catholics have the cheek to deny their church suppressed the Bible during the dark ages. For goodness sake, that's why they were dark. And here they are still attempting to denigrate scripture and make it secondary in principle to their own traditions and teachings. Don't know why they don't...

Sure, even more so. Unlike him I'm not a trinitarian.

Interesting @APAK .

Great strawman. Be so kind as to point out the poster, even any reformer, who claimed to formulate doctrine without consultation to God. I thought Jesuits were more subtle than this.

Enoch wasn't they one that posed the hypothetical question. And you charged him with putting words in Jesus mouth. Wouldn't that be true of anyone who attempted an answer?

When I first became an Adventist, it was a further 5 years before I actually became a member of the church. Along the way I did visit a few churches, and found some good, some bad. Just as in one church there are people within it, some good, some bad. It would be a fool who would attempt to...

I guess you are relieved to have been released from the law against lying, idolatry, stealing, and coveting too right?

Because the manner in which those 'words from scripture' is formulated is in the form of a prayer to a dead person. Since when has such a practise been 'biblical', and since when do Catholics defend their traditions by referencing scripture? I thought the infallible word of the king trumped...

It's a hypothetical question that no-one could know how Jesus would answer. I can imagine the Pharisees and lawyers rehearsing series of questions and challenges in order to tap Jesus into answering questions according to their devising in order to accuse Him. They lost every time. Even their...

Amen. Going through it all though and being a living witness to those events won't be easy, but God has promised that our water and bread will be sure. And His protection certain.

So you are really just guessing and you don't really know. As I said, 10 or more criteria. Nero doesn't fit. No individual can fit all the criteria, which is why your answer was weak. Yes, Nero was a bad man. But that isn't actually one of the criteria. Did you know the word Antichrist means...

Seems to me to be mightily presumptuous to demand everyone here believe your opinion on how Jesus would answer a certain way to a hypothetical question.

I am offering you a far more scripturally sound alternative to the preterist position. But because it offends your sensibilities that alternative is now an insult? You are proving me right though...I said you are clinging tenaciously to your ideas regardless of further information, and you...

Which is what all deceived people say.

I really don't think you have thought this through Matthew, but simply grabbed a couple of things that look right and clung to them tenaciously while ignoring everything to the contrary.

Very weak. Scripture interprets scripture. Every beast in Daniel represented an empire. Revelation12 has two beasts, the first of which is a composite of the 4 in Daniel. And you think all of a sudden a composite of 4 empires is to be found in one man? A man that ruled for just 14 years? Please...

That's what happens when you don't read scripture that threatens your cherished opinions.

The statue of Daniel 2 represented 4 empires... Babylon, Meda-Persia, Greece, and Rome. After Rome was broken up, it became a union of clay, representing the church, and iron, representing the old imperial Roman hierarchy. Pagan Rome became papal Rome and was divided between 10 kings. According...

Where else in prophetic scripture does a beast represent an individual person?
