"At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise[a] will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”
Micha-El means "who is like God", likely a reference to "One like the Son of Man" in Rev 14:14 and other verses.
A person in the image of God, a blueprint for the kind of people we ought to be. MEEK... powerful, but under control. Power contained. Patient.
I don't know the history or my own religion? Do you even know what the word PROTESTant means? You say a protestant worships at the feet of dead saints??? I worship The LORD wherever and whenever I want to. And most certainly not at the feet of a dead human. Protestant means, In Protest to the catholic church which you are lumping the ideology of a catholic and a protestant together. So you can vapidly flap your jaws about things you know nothing of, like the generalization of millions of people because you think you know it all. Do you even know when eastern orthodoxy and western orthodoxy even split? It was the first great schism. Why did they split? Hmmmm?? Since you know it all, seeing as how you can use words like sola scriptura??? That was passed down by a freaking pope!!! PROTESTANTS DON'T BELIEVE IN A POPE!!!! And let me ask you, how highly do you regard St. MARK??? is he your pope?? Do you deify him?? Tradition is important. But here's the deal, by saying these things that you all do, proves to me, that you have no concept of time, and have obviously not read The Bible. Can you even quote leviticus law oh mighty ones that believe in such tradtion?? When Jesus Himself said that not one Jot or Tiddle of the law be forgotten or dismissed?? What happens when your wife keeps acting up and won't stop being a turkey toward her husband?? Go to chapter 30, find out. You kill her and her father for not raising her to treat a man with respect!! Literally says that. You wanna go back to tradition??? I'm sure a whole lot of women here wouldn't enjoy that law very much... you do not know the meaning of grace. You don't even know the history of the very language you even speak. I pray your hypocrisy ends soon, or you will partake in the weeping and gnashing of teeth yourself.
Well thanks, but seriously, I just want to remind anybody and everybody, that without Martin Luther, William Tyndale, and others who fought and died and faced much persecution, that we wouldn't even have an America. Because literally, without Luther, Tyndale might have never translated the bible into english, and without tyndale doing what he did, Elizabeth 1 (first protestant monarch ever), who was not perfect, but lead to King James 1 after her and Mary Queen of Scots got into it hardcore... without King James 1 authorizing an english version of the bible, even with all that has benoist in translation fro. Language to language, then after 1611 when it was translated, at the comission of that king, then 50 to 80 years later, english speaking pilgrims, seeking asylum from religious persecution might have never sought to colonize America, leading to the imperfect but still Great America we know today. The first 5 books of the bible, known as the Torah, or in Hebrew translated, The Law, was literally a big part of our framework for the laws we enjoy today. So when I see someone talking trash on Protestantism, It makes me a little upset, which is why I reacted a bit passionately in a few of my replies. But dangit!! Without the God-Given eight to protest against tyrannical rulers, such as The ROMAN Catholic Establishment... Where and What would America even be??? Would we even have this right to debate at all?? So that is my take on it. I'm a Southern Baptist. And honored to be one, I stand by The Word (Jesus), and will not waver in my soul. All those roads that lead to rome, who crucified Jesus per the request of the Jewish leadership that was in bed with them at the time can go back a whoring after thier other gods like they always do... Ba'al, Asthura, Ishtar, whoever... I love Jesus, and Jesus loves his children.
First Council of Nicaea, look it up. First Great Schism. Separating the Western Orthodox, (Catholic Church) and Eastern Orthodox (Greek Orthodoxy). The debate was on the trinity, and whether or not Christ Jesus' Divinity. Second schism was protestants and Catholics. I do not have to go through a bishop, a cardinal, or a pope to pray to my LORD. Jesus is my King, and the Holy Spirit is my intercessor. Do you even know why Martin Luther did what he did??? Look into pope Pious the 8th I believe it was... maybe the 10th. One of those pious pieces of work. He was in the process of building the basilica to what it is now, and ran the Vatican's coffers dry in the process. He then resorted to selling indulgences, which were lateral pieces of paper that would, "forgive" a person of thier sins... and not even thier real sins against The LORD, indulgences were originally meant only to forgive a person of a sin against the laws of the church! Because no man can forgive a sin against God. But you man can forgive man for sin against man. But these indulgences in particular were going to far, some were even reportedly said to have written on them, that even if the mother of jesus were alive in that day, and one were to rape her, that the indulgence bought, would forgive the person of even that sin.. which is complete and totally blasphemy. Luther, an Augustinian Monk, literally the most hardcore monkly order in europe. Was being continually asked to explain these indulgences to the populace, because they were so wild they didn't even make sense to the layperson as to how the church could be peddling these things... so even he, a learned scholar in the Word, was having a hard time explaining these things to people. And in his extreme frustration, nailed his 99 thesis to the door of the church. Out of his opposition for this. And rightfully so. And from there it lead him to the diet of worms, which he prevailed. And rightfully so. He didn't even mean to start the protestant revolution, it was just an side effect of the current situation, born out of the pope's love of money and flashy building projects that was driving your precious orthodoxy into paradoxical heresy. So, continue. Please. I can literally go on all day, and you know why? Because I know my history.
church is / churches are taken over from satan. fuck the church / es. my church is the bible. read matthew what Jesus thinks and says about these soulless traitors.
Eek! Don’t want to highjack your convo... but jeez this is scary stuff! Reminds me of how satan rules this earth - with fear! Just saying... I know it’s no use to go into what you’re saying about the ‘original’ church. I just recommend you take a non biased history lesson or two on religion/churches and whatnot.
Regardless of how forceful any religion might be - it’s counterproductive to be forceful if you’re trying to help people see what you believe to be the truth. For what it’s worth.
Interesting... seems I’m having some real technical issues! Not trying to be funny - but LoveThineEnemy also your account? I’m asking because I could’ve sworn I was responding to LoveThineEnemy with my eek comment!!!!! And Only checking my messages did this actual comment pop up even though this is the only thread open on my iPad since late morning!
Something’s totally strange is happening, lol... BUT in response to you: yes - I agree 100% lol. I also don’t understand why people don’t want to learn the origins of their beliefs! The unfortunate thing is, the more digital we become, the more knowledge we’re going to lose... The ancients knew how to preserve knowledge the best: handwritten, LOL. In my opinion - the ancient hieroglyphics/symbols were simply brilliant! A written language that can be understood regardless of the language one speaks - we were hell of a lot more ‘advanced’ back then, lol... I’m not so sure about how we’re technologically advancing - I haven’t given much thought whether it’s good or bad for us, lol. I need to though.
Indeed...
Daniel 12:
The End Times

Have we learned patience the past 4 years, anons?
Thank you for these encouraging words.

I have a completely different view of the "catching up"
Well, you wouldn't approve of my beliefs
church is / churches are taken over from satan. fuck the church / es. my church is the bible. read matthew what Jesus thinks and says about these soulless traitors.
