The pagans believed this. The fact that certain Hebrews adopted these beliefs doesn't surprise me one bit. Jesus called them adulterers for a reason. I wouldn't trust the Talmud considering Jesus was very hard on the Pharisees and their traditions adopted from the Talmud. I have no doubt in...

Something like that.

In a previous post you said: "I need to ask for more clarification. The early judao-christian literature has so much data regarding this theme that I had wanted to compare SDA doctrine with the Judao-christian ancient literature. So, if you are saying the SDA have no data as to why Lucifer...

Yes, as a matter of fact she was hit in the face with a rock and had a third grade education. Of course, no one would know that reading any of her books.

what would make you believe I haven't? Yes it is. Maybe when making your points you will refrain from using redundant words like "irregardless." That said, There was indeed a time when the universe did not exist. How ever, observable time on earth is not the same time on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn...

In discussing the reason for Satan's rebellion we can not say with any rationale what would cause the third ranking member of the heavenly court to go sideways. Since you asked about what caused this rebellion I would have to concur with Paul and say we don't know, it a mystery. If you have...

If it was "super important" I would imagine the Bible would have some knowledge regarding this doctrine to share. In that idt doesn't then I would have to conclude the Bible would rather have us look forward than backwards.

The answer is long and deserves a detailed response. If you don't want to read it that's fine but I thought the question required more than just a simple one line answer. No, but I do enjoy history. Paul didn't offer any explanation for the "mystery of iniquity" that's why it's a mystery. The...

"WHO the heck reads books??" People that like to read.

Time is only relative where time can be observed. Time on earth is different than in another part of the Milky Way or the universe. Nor have you shown that it doesn't. It's still "nothing" except gravity. Where did gravity come from? Who made it or did it "just happen?" Time again is relative...

Yes, I believe God gave this prophet a special insight. How about reading it yourself? This is better than me explaining it. The Story of Patriarchs and Prophets As Illustrated in the Lives of Holy Men of Old - Ellen G. White Well I don't know that there is anyone that can fully explain the...

Isaiah 14 tells us that Satan once had a throne in heaven. Isa 14:12 ¶ How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will...

Post 2 One ray of the glory of God, one gleam of the purity of Christ, penetrating the soul, makes every spot of defilement painfully distinct, and lays bare the deformity and defects of the human character. It makes apparent the unhallowed desires, the infidelity of the heart, the impurity of...

The law of God is a reflection of God's character. God is eternal. So these truths are eternal moral truths.

ex-nihilo. 6. Creation: God is Creator of all things, and has revealed in Scripture the authentic account of His creative activity. In six days the Lord made "the heaven and the earth" and all living things upon the earth, and rested on the seventh day of that first week. Thus He established...

You seem content on not understanding that in the original Greek there was no comma there. That comma, in my mind, was misplaced accidentally which changes the meaning to the point that it doesn't fit with the theme that the scripture consistently tell. Of course. I do not however believe the...

That's cool, this is fine then.

Yes you are. No I don't, I judge the BoM by the fact that there are no manuscripts available to compare to the first work. Well, if one honestly compared the two one could clearly see that one work is inspired and the other is a fraud and a fantasy. Brother, the BoM is a forgery and a fantasy...

OK. For me, as with most folks, there would be a distinct difference in meaning. I told you. He was giving assurance to the thief that he would be in paradise with Jesus. The "today" sets the tone for the assurance. Here's a simple example: I promise today, I'm going to give you $100.00...

That's not what the verse says. Your reaction to me indicates you know the verse doesn't say what you think it says. Let's see in again. Jam 4:1 ¶ From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your lusts that war in your members? Jam 4:2 Ye lust...
