21 | difference Christian and catholic | Acts 11:26 | danieln | 50946 | ||
I beleive there are many sincere catholic christians, but the catholic system itself i dont think can legitimatly call itself christian for the simple fact that they deny that salvation and forgiveness is a gift freely offered by Jesus to everyone. from what i have heard they believe salvation is attained solely by membership in the catholic chruch and forgiveness by catholic priests |

22 | Most accurate Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | danieln | 50944 | ||
Hi all, personally my favorite for absolute literalness is Youngs Literal Translation(YLT). I use KJV most of the time but in some areas it is colored by the beliefs of the writers. eg check out this Titus 1:2(KJV) In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Titus 1:2(YLT) upon hope of life age-during, which God, who doth not lie, did promise before times of ages, if you study with concordances and the origonal greek text etc.. you will find the KGV is out in this instance by the way a great tool to do all this sort of stuff is at http://www.e-sword.net its totally free and has bibles, concordances, dictionarys and more in a great program |

23 | When did the catholic church go wrong? | Bible general Archive 1 | danieln | 26528 | ||
Hi Ed, as long Satan is alive and kicking there will always be a need for reform, eg. throughout the old testament prophets were calling for Israel to reform her ways and Paul sent some letters to some of his churches telling them to get back on track i think |

24 | Is satan a spirit? | Ezek 28:14 | danieln | 26525 | ||
Satan is a living thinking being. Ezekiel 28:14 "You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire. cherub is another word for angel. |

26 | Will we know our loved ones in heaven? | 2 Sam 12:23 | danieln | 26177 | ||
Hi Nolan, 1 Thessalonians 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. this is telling us that the Dead in Christ will be resurrected at the second comming is it not? Indeed if we are already in heaven after we die what is the need for the second resurrection As for the Parable of the Rich man and Lazarus, this is a parable and i beleive it is symbolic, not literal. Most parables are symbolic (ie Matthew 13:24 Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.) I dont believe that we have consiousness once dead: Psalm 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.(this clearly says the dead do not experience any 'reward' or bliss after death - and how could they if their thoughts have perished) but of course i believe that we will see our loved ones once in heaven (so long as they are saved too), but after the 2nd comming and resurrection. daniel |

hi kalos, since when did a view being different from mainstream make it wrong? Jesus had quite a different view to mainstream Jewish belief in his time. Luthers 'salvation by faith' concept wasnt the most popular idea when he rediscovered it either |

Hi Tim, How does the prophecy in Daniel 9 obviously tell us to convert days to years? Surely if we apply the "day to a year" rule here we might apply it in Daniel 12. Daniel 9 (NIV minus the notes) 25 "Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven sevens, and sixty-two sevens. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two sevens, the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one seven. In the middle of the seven he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing (of the temple) he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. nothing here tells me that days are converted to years, yet Jesus was baptised 483 years later(seven sevens, and sixty-two sevens.) thanks daniel |

in those texts God is telling the future events of Israel. what is prophecy but God telling us future events? the passages have everthing to do with prophecy plus: (a). Jews and Christians have used this principle for centuries.(1) (b). The prophecy in Daniel chapter 9 is ridiculous without it.(2) Also, the 490 years of chapter 9 is cut off from the longer period of chapter 8, thus indicating that the day-for-a-year principle must also apply in Daniel 8. (c). In Dan. 8: 13 it says "How long will the vision be…?". This vision of chapter 8 runs from the ram (Medo-Persia) right through to the activities of papal Rome. Therefore the 2300 period must cover Medo-Persia, Greece, Imperial Rome and papal Rome. (d). The prophecy of Daniel chapter 8 starts with Medo-Persia but we are told it relates to the "time of the end". Therefore the 2300 period must certainly be a long period of time to take us to the time of the end.(3) (e). A literal 3 1/2 years does not fit in Daniel 7:25. The kingdom of the horn with eyes and a mouth referred to in this verse is a more significant kingdom in the vision than the empires that reigned before it. All these previous kingdoms lasted for many decades. Also God judges the horn with eyes and a mouth towards the end of earth's history when He gives the dominion to His Son. So it must continue for a long time after the downfall of Imperial Rome. (f). These time periods are characterised by symbolic language. This should point us to considering a day-for-a-year principle as applying. After all, why would one want to use symbolic language unless there was some deeper meaning behind the time period mentioned? (g). The idea of a day standing for a year is relatively common in Scripture. See, for example, Nu.14: 34; Eze. 4: 6; Ge. 29: 27; Le. 25: 3,4.(4) (1). Froom L. E., The Prophetic Faith of Our Fathers, Washington DC, Review and Herald, 1950, vol.1, p. 176, 203. (2). Seventy weeks is literally only about one and a half years. How can this be enough time to accomplish what is in the prophecy? 490 years fits perfectly when we add in the dates for the decree and the Messiah's coming. (3). By studying Daniel 11: 35 and 12: 7-10 along with Daniel 7: 25 we can see that the "time of the end" when Daniel's prophecies would be unsealed started at the end of the 1260 years of persecution ie. 1798. (4). In Le. 25:3,4 the week is used to symbolise a seven-year cycle with the seventh-day Sabbath representing the seventh year of rest. |
