Subject: Hank - Doctrine from God or Man ? |
Bible Note: Child of light 777 - Thank your for your resonse and crediting me with zeal. But I have a question to you as to why you consider my statements as irrational. If I was on this forum 2 years ago I would have been asking questions about why the "Church" believes in 1st day worship or why the "Church" believes in the rapture theory and I can only assume I would receive many positive responses confirming the common beliefs since I would not be questioning something that goes against the mainstream belief. I have struggled with these issues over the past few years and actually set out two years ago to reiforce my belief system. Unfortunately, when you take a hard look at the scriptural background for these doctrines you will find that there are problems with the interpretations. One of the best examples is Daniel 9:27. Most of the Christian community believes the "he" refers to the antichrist when in fact the clear context is in regards to Christ and the final week of the 70 week prophecy of Daniel 9. The rapture/tribulation theory (widely promoted by the "Left Behind series") is supported by this misinterpreted text. I look forward to your comments. Merv |
