In Matt 24, Jesus outlines the events occurring at the end of the age. Does this mean the end of the world, sometime in the future? Probably not. Jesus specified that these events would happen in the lifetime of those he was speaking to - Matt 24:34. Furthermore, Jesus did indeed come at the end of an age, according to Heb 9:26 and 1 Cor 10:11 - and then God's relationship with Israel ended with Israel being called a harlot, and the Old Covenant came…
The prophecy is this: 70 weeks until a messiah, or type of the Messiah, comes. From the command to restore and build Jerusalem till this messiah comes will be 7 weeks and 62 weeks. After 62 weeks this messiah will be cut off.
The prophecy is this: Nebuchadnezzar saw an image in a dream. The image had the following characteristics: The head was made of gold; The chest and arms were made of silver; The belly and thighs were made of brass; The legs were made of iron, and the feet partly of iron and partly of clay. A stone hit the feet, and the image shattered. The stone grows and fills the earth.
Not everyone agrees as to whether the two little horns of Daniel 7 and Daniel 8 are the same entity. Some of the questions they ask are related to slight differences, especially the discrepancy between 2300 days and 3.5 years.
Here we continue looking at the prophecies of Daniel. The prophecy is this: Four beasts come out of the sea; the first beast - like a lion, and like a man
Here we continue looking at the prophecies of Daniel. The prophecy is this: A ram, with two horns - one horn appearing first, and the next horn to appear was higher than the first. The ram pushed west, north, and south.
I've decided to write up an interpretation of the prophecies of Daniel, which I've read up on recently. Previously, I debunked the common Adventist claim about the little horn being the papacy, which supposedly uprooted the Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Heruli by 538 AD.
Adventists believe some strange things. Some Adventists believe even stranger things. There's a small but vocal group within Adventism that denies the divinity of Jesus Christ, a core teaching of biblical Christianity. Some other groups like the Jehovah's Witnesses and Christedelphians teach this too.
Prolife Andrew over on YouTube has some amazing videos on the problem of abortion in the Seventh-day Adventist church. Andrew, unlike his church, is pro-life. Andrew cites some very telling statistics about abortion in the Adventist church in the embedded video below.
Some time back I wrote a comment on Taylor Marshall's blog. I'm putting my comment up here too now. My point was to argue that there are two separate issues that are often conflated.
I found a "liturgical" aspect of Adventist services rather amusing - they don't realise that it's Catholic. I've pointed out quasi-liturgical rituals in Adventist services before, but people have denied them. This "Responsive Reading" seems fairly common, and it's not just Adventists that use it. In Catholic churches it's sometimes spoken and sometimes sung.
My view on the Old Testament atrocities is that human history, and especially the activities and rules in the Old Testament, are a play laid out by God to teach us something at the end.
Some baptise by immersion, full or partial, and some by pouring. Some restrict baptism to full immersion. What does the Bible say?
I've actually had them tell me that the biblical instruction not to put something in front of a blind man so that he falls over it is a ceremonial law.
Some Christians don't like to celebrate the events in Jesus' life, and they follow a pseudo-Jewish calendar that includes passover and the other Jewish holy days.
Three times the Bible refers to Passover as the Passover of the Jews. John 2:13, John 6:4, John 11:55.
Did Jesus die on a Friday and rise from the dead on a Sunday? Or did he die on a Wednesday or Thursday? And did he rise from the dead on a Saturday?
Pope Francis has demanded and obtained the resignation of the head of another sovereign state, and will appoint his own temporary supervisor until the state elects a new head of state approved by the pope.
