    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    What absolute total and complete garbage and lies. History testifies to the exact opposite and did not begin with Ellen White. The Waldenses were not rabble rousers, lazy, indolent, but were well known by the princes and rulers of those territories throughout Europe where they settled, to be...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Yes, there are variations in determining what the gospel is throughout Christendom. But I think what Bereans was saying was that Catholicism teaches a different gospel from scripture. As do many of the Protestant denominations. Although I believe we need to perhaps clarify what you mean by...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    The annual feast days, eg Passover, Pentecost, feast of first fruits, etc (there were 7) weren't all fulfilled by Jesus. Pentecost was fulfilled 40 days after the Ascension. There were still 3 more after that... Feast of trumpets, Day of Atonement, and feast of tabernacles. What can you tell us...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Quite appropriate. Papal authority is unorthodox doctrine.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Mmmm. In conclusion. Whatever the church says the meaning of scripture is, then that is what it means, because tradition has been exercising it's authority in that way for a long time, and there is no-one alive to object because we killed them, and none of their writings exist today because we...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    Here is a very basic but accurate description of the gospel, all from the NT. EVERYONE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THIS. 3 LAWS "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...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    So it was only wrong for Israelites to murder and commit adultery. The Ammonites were fine as they were? Wow. If the ten commandments are abolished, then by what will God judge the world? The Bible says that without the law, there is no knowledge of sin. How can God judge sin without the law...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    The letter of the law kills only those guilty of transgressing the law. If you obey the law, (and this can only be accomplished through receiving Christ in us, the hope of glory, who sanctifies us and changes our mindsets and motives, ) by faith in the grace of God, obedience to all God's...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Fundamentalists are categorised officially by the US government as terrorists. The Pope Cumberland fundamentalists because they i are violent. As I said, join the dots.

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    The search for reasons not to stop drinking (and eating shellfish and pork etc) and continue to be slaves to appetite is almost as determined and resolute as the search for reasons not to observe the Sabbath. All of course from Christians who profess to love God with all their bodies, hearts...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    You are answering only from your sectarian biases. You are not answering from scripture. You are avoiding the question by diverting the subject to the personhood of Jesus The Creator. That is another topic altogether. The question is about when was the day blessed? And clearly you need some...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Jesus did not give any man the authority or power to persecute those that disagreed with him. That power, that authority, came from the emperor Justinian, which was later included in Roman law, and spread into Catholic canon law. Justinian’s ambitions to reunite the Roman Empire were matched by...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    It makes an infinite difference when the Son we are speaking of is God's only begotten Son. Not created, not adopted, but brought forth of God's own substance, and therefore by inheritance receiving all the fullness of the Godhead. Jesus Himself said, KJV John 5:26 26 For as the Father hath life...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    You challenge me to produce scriptural evidence for observing the Sabbath, and I have some so repeatedly using exodus 20. What you and others haven't done is to prove that the Ten Commandments were cancelled, and then magically reinstated, an action presumably accomplished by God but without any...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    I need one, why? Surely you aren't arguing from the perspective that because something is missing, it is proof it didn't exist? Really? That's why you don't observe the Sabbath? Because someone else can't prove that someone else did observe it? Why is it that people who claim to be Christians...

    Why its important to keep the Sabbath

    Oh, I am more than suggesting. Jesus created all things and there was nothing He didn't create. Now, even though I assume you know full well what scriptures there are too support the above assertion, I'll take your suggestion and post it anyway... KJV Colossians 1:16 16 For by him were all...

    There you go. Now wasn't that easy?

    KJV Revelation 13:18 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. 666 is an ancient occult number originating it is believed in Babylon.

    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.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Connect the dots. There's a war on terrorism. The Vatican has had a key role in supporting that. For the Vatican however, that war extends to all of Islam, unless they surrender to Papal authority. The Pope will be your friend so long as you bow and scrape at his feet. Those quotes I provided...
