In other words, Jesus and His apostles quote scripture for truth. Not one of them quote a pope or bishop in Rome for truth. Neither do the early church fathers. Only after the invention of a pope, do we see popes in history. That's like a "car". Prior to the invention of the automobile, no...

You must find in Scripture or the early church fathers where the papacy is taught, otherwise its an innovation. I can't find anything in the early church fathers that says the Pope is in Rome, or even that there is a pope.

Says who? the Pope? Babylon Mother of Harlots began in ancient Babylon, the Tower of Babylon. Not Rome.

Babylon isn't Rome, they are in different countries. As for the Rock upon which the church is built, even if it were Peter, he wasn't a pope, or Roman Catholic. The Church's headquarters was in Jerusalem, not Rome. And he was married.

The Orthodox Churches are the oldest Christian churches. They had bishops while Catholics were hiding in the Catacombs. Nothing in the early church fathers or bible point to any pope in Rome.

I don't agree. The Kings come from the sunrising, they are the fallen angels who lead the demonic calvary to punish the third of the earth that once claimed to be Christian, but have apostatized "fallen away" and serve the Antichrist: Its the judgment of God against those who do not love the...

Thanks for your replies. Some of what you say will compel me to study this more. But I don't have time to get into this, at this time.

If one blindly accepts the premises of socialists, capitalism bad. However, when one critically thinks on every premise, before forming a conclusion, capitalism "good", it springs from man being created in God's image, having free will and the liberty to use it.

Christ sold his carpentry products and services on the open market, and gave from it to the poor and tithes to God. And supported His family. = Capitalism. Paul made tents. 11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; 12...

Praise the LORD! God bless that car dealer. Christians should run groups as they believe pleases the LORD, without anything but praise from me. My only concern some might mistake the early church as practicing socialism. Socialism is theft of other people's wealth to spend it in ways they may...

Actually, a modern army would either dry up a river bed by blocking the water, or build a pontoon bridge over it so tanks can proceed. Logistically, no army can have 200 million mounted soldiers. But the book uses symbolism for everything, therefore "lifting the restraint" on the demonic...

I just reread Elihu's words and must disagree with you. Elihu emphasizes the greatness, goodness and inscrutability of God, that purposes beyond reward and punishment that we cannot possibly know may lie behind His acts. When God answers after Elihu it is almost like a "continuation" of some of...

Don't have time to comment on your entire post right now. An alternative to "Kings of the East" is the more literal "kings that come from the sunrise", meaning Satan's angels from heaven. The Euphrates was the God set eastern boundary of Israel they never conquered. So this might symbolize...

Perhaps, not sure about that. But God exempted Elihu from criticism perhaps because he spoke better than his elders: 7 And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is aroused against you and your two friends, for you have...
