When I read the others I can make a better comment of what I think. Right now I can see that pastors Doug Batchelor, Steve Wohlberg, and Maurice Berry have added a little more light to what SM, had come up with.

Aliensanctuary Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Pity the people who must suffer under the rule of a religion which has become a one-world government, be it Catholicism or Islam. Either way, the heads of dissenters will roll. Quote The Parable of the Lamb and the Pigpen https://www.createspace.com/3401451 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members phkrause Posted April 27, 2016 Members Share Posted April 27, 2016 I have now read all the links that GM had posted. I have no problem with SB adding Islam to the anti-Christ scenario, because from what I've read in the Bible, anyone who is against or want's to take his place is an Anti-Christ! I did like KPs reply to SB, because his dates for the 1260 years have been debunked by a number of people outside of our church. Also I think that DB, SW and MB have shown that Islam/locust have been used by God in the first two Woes to punish Christians, etc., and is using them again in the 3rd Woe, now, to punish Christian's. It does make sense to me! It will be interesting to see how it plays out!

Robert Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Theology wise, when it comes to "the everlasting gospel", Ellen White tells us she had only a "glimmer of the light that was yet to come", but can we state this about the prophecies concerning "the little horn power"? Can we state that Ellen White was wrong? Well, not using the historicist system of interpretation*. Either God gave Ellen White insights or He did not. According to her (and I fully agree) Roman is the problem: "The Roman Church now presents a fair front to the world, covering with apologies her record of horrible cruelties. She has clothed herself in Christlike garments; but she is unchanged. Every principle of the papacy that existed in past ages exists today. The doctrines devised in the darkest ages are still held. Let none deceive themselves. The papacy that Protestants are now so ready to honor is the same that ruled the world in the days of the Reformation, when men of God stood up, at the peril of their lives, to expose her iniquity. She possesses the same pride and arrogant assumption that lorded it over kings and princes, and claimed the prerogatives of God. Her spirit is no less cruel and despotic now than when she crushed out human liberty and slew the saints of the Most High." — The Great Controversy, Ellen White , p. 571 * http://www.biblestudytools.com/commentaries/revelation/introduction/historicist-interpretation.html phkrause 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
