Quoting: DGN Ahh.... the ultimate blasphemy, good call; " I, even I, have said in my heart with regard to the sons of mankind that the [true] God is going to select them, that they may see that they themselves are beasts. 19 For there is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit, so that there is no superiority of the man over the beast, for everything is vanity. 20 All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust. 21 Who is there knowing the spirit of the sons of mankind, whether it is ascending upward; and the spirit of the beast, whether it is descending downward to the earth? 22 And I have seen that there is nothing better than that the man should rejoice in his works, for that is his portion; because who will bring him in to look on what is going to be after him?" Ecc3:18 Whoa... So are you saying that this verse is saying no one is going to Hell? Right, there is no hell-fire in the bible. Hell (English for the Greek Hades) is the common grave for all mankind where even Jesus was for three days until resurrestion. The 'lake of fire' means eternal destruction. "For he who has died has been acquitted from [his] sin." Ro6:7 Hell is not eternal it will be the destruction of the wicked. Hell is real. It is the real grave for everyone but the dead are not alive there; "For as respects whoever is joined to all the living there exists confidence, because a live dog is better off than a dead lion. 5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun."

Muslims are the result of the catholic church, this beast system which is the woman riding on the beast has caused all nations to drink her wine. This system controls the world, all presidents, dignitaries, prime ministers, religious sects all bow to the head of it. The pope claims to be God, the church claims the right to forgive sins, they claim Mary is a co-redeemer with Christ and still the whole world follows the beast.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3767410 The belief that the Catholic church is an instrument of Satan isn't something that the mainstream of the protestant community accept, is it? I always figured it was more of a fringe belief held by really religious GLP types? "Let no one seduce YOU in any manner, because it will not come unless the apostasy comes first and the man of lawlessness gets revealed, the son of destruction. 4 He is set in opposition and lifts himself up over everyone who is called “god” or an object of reverence, so that he sits down in the temple of The God, publicly showing himself to be a god. 5 Do YOU not remember that, while I was yet with YOU, I used to tell YOU these things? 6 And so now YOU know the thing that acts as a restraint, with a view to his being revealed in his own due time. 7 True, the mystery of this lawlessness is already at work; but only till he who is right now acting as a restraint gets to be out of the way. 8 Then, indeed, the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will do away with by the spirit of his mouth and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his presence. 9 But the lawless one’s presence is according to the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and portents 10 and with every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth that they might be saved. 11 So that is why God lets an operation of error go to them, that they may get to believing the lie, 12 in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness." 2Thes2:3 Last Edited by DGN on 11/17/2012 02:30 AM |

You're saying the popes try to appear to be above God, and in fact claim to be gods themselves? Yes. |
