It seems those are some good arguments for filioque, but reality is the creed was long ago carved in the steps of the Vatican without the filioque. The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father. With the Father and the son he is worshipped and glorified. Perhaps we need Flo from Progressive at Protestant services to pass out bulletins containing the creed, because frankly I have seen it both ways at Episcopal and Methodist services, with filioque and without.

I am a big fan of Flo from Progressive. That would appease insurance companies.

INsurance in the south, inSURance in the north, and the funniest is yet to be determined.

Ecuminism can be likened to cholesterol. Ye gotcher good cholesterol, ye gotcher bad cholesterol; you have good Ecumenism, you have bad Ecumenism.

Some say that the Jerusalem council in Acts 15 was the first ecumenical council. There was no Pope then, and no creeds yet. The Old Roman Symbol, around 100 AD, was expanded into THE APOSTLES CREED I question that 325 version of Nicene Creed that is posted above, it seems to have some of Athanasian Creed in it. The filioque was added to Nicene Creed much later

It is very possible that the originals of all the NT books were penned before Jerusalem fell. Whether that constitutes a "closing of the canon" is debatable.

"The Canon of scripture was closed by the time Jerusalem was destroyed" Interesting claim - I am inclined to agree with it - but it is no doubt a minority view.

Perhaps it is so. Where the notion came from that Gabriel is an archangel and blows a final trumpet, I dunno. Michael is only archangel in scripture, and nowhere is Gabriel portrayed as trumpet-blower (except in song FARE THEE WELL)

Research "Titus' soldiers set fire to Temple" His soldiers, not Jews, set it on fire. Josephus was an eyewitness. Yes, soldiers pryed stones apart to get at melted gold. The wailing wall is not part of the Temple.

Buddy has changed his pants.

What did 1st century Thessalonians know about the American presidency?

Good stuff, LD

Those silver trumpets in Numbers 10 seem to be about "moving out" - I just wonder what Paul had in mind by "last trumpet"

The words for Trump and trumpet here are Greek SALPIGGI, not ram' s horn (shofar)

Ya gitcher handstaves in Ya gitcher bucklers out Ya gitcher bows and arrows and ya spread 'em all about Ya do the Gog and Magog and ya turn yerself about That's what it's all about !

Will the weapons burned actually be spears, bows and arrows and other ancient items?

Do you really think it was meteor or asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs? Nahh. It was Trump, also responsible for Chernobyl and 3 Mile Island.

Those Thessalonians knew of Trump. Probably thousands of them came back to vote for Trump - illegally... Stole the election from Hitlery Klingon, just like Bush stole the election from Gore. Thousands of temporarily-resurrected Thessalonians voting with hanging chads and without... And it was Trump, long ago, that cut down all those trees in the Great Sahara Forest.

We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. Paul wrote that in 1 Cor 15 before John had written about 7 trumpets of revelation. I see a rapture AT THE LAST TRUMPET. Not 7 or 3 1/2 years BEFORE last trumpet, but AT the last trumpet.

Trump is the Restrainer - I have heard everything now.
