[Protestant Empires as "the Beast"]

Who knows what time we have left?

Not much... I don't know anyone who isn't saying it is very soon, even at the door.

The Dutch Empire was Protestant and most of the ones left aren’t Catholic at all. Interesting conjecture, that’s all.

Nor are there any left that are particularly Protestant either... It is an interesting conjecture... I had tried to make the US fit as Babylon, but it really doesn't work... So I had already tried on the whole Protestant Empires thing.

[Idolatry. Always with the idolatry. Just look what happened to Israel]

A lot has, yet they are STILL identified as God’s chosen people.

And they always will be... but:

Rom 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Rom 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
Rom 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Rom 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

(e-Sword:KJV)

We worship God on the Lord’s Day, not on Sabbath.

I do too, but it is a practice I am very close to correcting. The Sabbath day is the Sabbath day. Sunday worship was instituted by Rome.

[Bowing down to Mary and the Pope]

Are you of the non-kneeling persuasion?

My church does not kneel, nor do I every time (as in a quick prayer during the day, or at the dinner table), but I do kneel when formally seeking God when praying in devotions, or at my evening and morning prayers.

Why, is that important somehow?

Pretty arrogant aren’t you? The Lord’s Day was specified by the Church of Christ. Are you saying that you are above the Church?

***Are you of the non-kneeling persuasion?

I believe it. So when the Bible says: Luke 22:

41
After withdrawing about a stone’s throw from them and kneeling, he prayed,

are you claiming that you follow Christ’s example? Or are you simply too proud to kneel before God? Phillipians 2:

9
Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name 7 that is above every name,
10
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, 8 of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, 9 to the glory of God the Father.

***Why, is that important somehow?***

Only for true Christians.
