John 6:37-39
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never turn away. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of all those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last…[Read more]

It makes me smile a bit when a newish member argues for the Trinity using lame arguments that have been well refuted here. Not sure that Jael supports the Trinity though. Perhaps he can tell us if he does, but from his posts that I have read it appears not. Anyway, Trinitarians really think they are going to blow us out of the water with these…[Read more]

Yes the ANZACs fought against the last of the Ottoman Empire. After that war, that empire was no more and the nation of Turkey was formed.

Islamic Violence against women
Warning: Contains graphic violence.

If all history was ignored then you would have to ignore much of the Bible to start with.

Luke 1
1  Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eye witnesses and servants of the word.3 With this in mind, since I myself have car…[Read more]

The eastern leg of the Roman Empire is today located in Europe. The western leg of the Roman Empire is mostly the Middle East and Northern Africa today.  The Islamic Empire rose in the western leg while the eastern leg fell into decline.

Now we see the mix of the two. Refugees from the Middle East are moving to Europe in droves. It is not hard…[Read more]

Where does it say that God no longer raises up leaders of nations since the time of Christ?

If he rules all the kingdoms of the world, then why would he not have a throne?

God has a throne and rules the universe.

I don’t think your points about Satan not having a throne makes sense considering God has a throne and what it said about Pergamum. In fact this part of the world held the capital to more than one empire located around the g…[Read more]

Not my interpretation or words because it clearly says:

“And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: The One who has the sharp two-edged sword says this: ‘I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is;

I just simply agree with these words that is all. You do not seem to agree with these words.

Whenever Jihad is brought up in a conversation, you often hear rebuttals that bring up the Crusades as being just as evil. This video by Dr. Bill Warner from the Center for the Study of Political Islam shows the Crusades were a minuscule compared to the centuries-long attack on Europe and begs the question, ‘were the Crusades just a form of…[Read more]

As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so they will mix with one another in marriage, but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.

So he picked David and perhaps others, but since Christ has not picked leaders anymore?

This is another theory as to Mystery Babylon. I think this and the theory we are discussing at the moment look more suitable. While it may be confusing to say there are two really good contenders here, it could be that Mystery Babylon is simply all the false religions that permeated these empires by the Great Sea. So in the reign of each head in…[Read more]
