2 Timothy 3 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof... I can show you, and I would be a little more careful about passing judgment on me when you have no Idea who I am, or where I'm comming from. If what I say is true, then am I not trying to help you?

You don't know that. Yes I do Make up your mind. It is made up You don't know that either. yes I do From what you stated in your post, the same could be said about you. not true, but it can certainly be said of you

Great...you just joined today and you can discern that I don't know my Bible? Let me spell it out for you....the Bible does NOT mention the Catholic Church nor does it reveal the identity of AntiChrist. That, my friend, is reality. Now you can interpret Revelation or Daniel in any way you please; it won't make it so but you're free to do as you wish. You are NOT free to tell me I don't know the Bible; it's rude and a paltry attempt at being condescending. I stand corrected...it may be too soon for me to say that you don't know the Bible, but I can say that you don't understand prophesy. And ....no...no one can interpret the Revelation or Daniel any way you please. (well you can if you want to be incorrect) Peter wrote in 2nd Peter Chapter 1 verse 19 that: " We have also a more sure word of prophesy where unto ye do well that we take heed as unto a light that shineth in a drek place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts. Here Peter is saying that the word of Prophesy is sure, and that you will do well to take heed unto it. in verse 20 he writes: Knowing this first, that no prophesy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. Therefore, no one can interpret Revelations and/or Daniel any way they the want, and still be correct. Verse 21 says: For the prophesy came not in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost....KJV Therefore, Peter is saying that the scriptures interpret themselves, and since we know that the end times are spoken of by Daniel, then since he was a holy man of God who spake as he was moved by the Holy Spirit, then we know that the Book of Daniel, along with other books in the Bible interpret Revelations. In conclusion, Peter is saying that we have a sure word of prophesy, and it can only be interpreted as the scripture interprets it. Revelations is not a book that is mysterious, and can be interpreted in many ways....it was given to the church so the church could understand what was about to take place in the end times... Why do you think that the Lord Chose to name the book REVELATIONS......: it is because it is designed to reveal some of the mysteries of God Anyways, if you would like me to show you how the Bible specifically states that the Catholic Church is the beast that will enforce the mark of the beast upon pain of death, then I will gladly show you.

No....the Bible does not mention the Catholic Church nor is the identity of the A/C revealed there....only allusions to his identity. They are cryptic, at best. The bible is quit specific...In the book of Daniel, the Identity of the fourth beast is quite obviously Rome. The book of revelations state literally that the beast is a nation. That nation is Rome...or it was at one time. The fourth beast spoken of by Daniel is clearly the same beast spoken of in Revelations it is quite clear. Now Vatican city is a sovereign nation Nevertheless...the bible says that the second beast will cause all the world to worship the beast, and anyone who does not will be killed. That Beast is the Catholic Church Martin Luther the great man who started the protestant movement, of which you are a part, knew this, yet you do not. That is because you do not really know the Bible.

It is the prerogative of the Catholic Church to discredit the Bible. It is called AntiChrist. Jesus is the word of God. Satan hates Jesus, and wants to discredit Him and ursurp his power any way that he can. The Catholic Church must discredit the Bible because the Bible shows the Catholic church to be the AntiChrist.
