A friend of mine is a 7th Day Adventist, and he assures me that the Mark of the Beast is the fact that the Catholic Church has designated Sunday rather than Saturday as the Sabbath.
Unu, no my style is not hit-and-run.
I have studied this for over 20 years, read every book on it.
I cannot convince unbeleivers.
Yes, Israel back in Jerusalem is the sign of the end of the ages.
No, I don’t care if anyone else beleives me, though many are in agreement, most christians don’t post on the sdmb, not if they know whats good for them!
Anyway, you have your own opinions, i have mine.
Then I’m sure you can talk about the beliefs of the apostolic fathers concerning their views on Revelation, properly cite their works, and are competent in Koine Greek because that is necessary for productive study of early Christianity.
So, your style is not hit-and-run, so please explain how your “20 years” of study can compare to several hundred years of early Christian tradition, set down by people much closer to the time of Jesus Christ than you and I are.
