She'd recorded prophetic sight that had to do with that leaders future and world events. She gave a price the ruler refused. The Sybil departed into the courtyard of the palace grounds and burned three of the 12 scrolls . She offered the remainder to the Monarch at the first price she'd given for the original 12. He refused. She burned three more scrolls in the courtyard. Finally having but 6 left the king conceded and bought the scrolls. Those are what became the book of Revelation today? And that is why the argument is also made that all events are describing the Caesar cults of the time and have transpired already. I'm curious because I'd not heard about the sybil before. I know it sounds like the rumors that Osiris preceded Christ and we're a pagan mystery faith death cult following older traditions under the guise of Easter, Christmas, and so-fourth. No disrespect intended. Looking forward to an open discussion. If this isn't the right place please move me if this line of questioning is OK here.

In the past we have had issues with bright changing icons and pictures. They caused epileptic seizures in some members. I am not sure if this is still the case with members today, but please keep this in mind when posting pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John". I never heard of the story you speak of, but I am sure there are many like it to discourage people from believing in scripture. If you doubt the author of one book, how easy would it be to doubt the whole bible? Can you see the hand of Satan in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Book of Revelation makes its authorship and source clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something in the ToS or board rules that tells us about those type gif pictures? I think I missed that or I would not have posted that image had I known. Thanks again.

I'm a little curious about where you heard or watched this "broadcast"?I often wonder why anyone would give even a little or any credence to such an obscure story? The Word of God has 66 Books,those Books can be cross referenced,examined,researched,studied & gone over with a fine tooth comb and there is more evidence to support that it is accurate,irrefutable.infallible & true than not ....and that is clear by mans mere intellect,reason& academics.....add in Wisdom & Understanding by the Power of the Holy Spirit and it is the Greatest Treasure to be had...........

There's really nothing to discuss. As others have already pointed out, the book of Revelation has absolutely nothing to do with pagans and legends connecting Christianity to paganism. Any pagan *prophecies* would originate with Satan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
