In my spare time I looked up your information source...a book by E.R.Chamberlin with a 3.7 rating and available many places on the internet for $1.00 (Kindle version for $.99)
I could locate no information at all on the author to see what his qualifications were. The Popes described were in officw for a total of 71 years and 134 days. The office of the Pope has existed for 2,015 years and 30 days so their average isn't that bad.....71/2015 isn't a real large fraction.
The main problem with the ones who caused the most concern was that they were hand in hand with crooked political figures of their time....their moral failures were just that...men being evil men.
It is aan interesting insight however and I'll read a little more about them
Another fraction of interest is 8/266....that's bad Popes over all Popes, another miniscule fraction....not good of course, but I'd bet that the fraction of bad presidents/all presidents would be worse and this country is only a little over 200 years old.
E.R.Chamberlin also wrote Antichrist and the Millennium....that also sounds like a real winner.
You are right....in the middle ages there were perverted forms of the Bible or renditions of portions of it which the church rightly condemned.
Remember, in those days the church was the ONLY protector of the Christian Bible and they became VERY testy when heretics challenged their authority. They feared that peopple were being led away from Christianity toward pagan or otherwise errant beliefs. This has nothing to do with the reformation, it was well before that and those who opposed the church were in no way Christian.
The 10 hundreds, 11 hundreds and 12 hundreds were when most of this took place.

You’re thrashing in the deepest of darkness.
Yehova’s Sabbaths have no relationship to his Months.
The Sabbath has run continuously, every seven days, sunset to sunset from the first day of creation, without interruption.
The only eighth day that has significance is The Last Great Day, the eighth day from the beginning of Sukkot, the 23rd day of the seventh month.

Rome has set the world’s timekeeping..
Scripture has a different calendar. Layered throughout scripture..
The two are not the same..
One is a counterfeit that leads others to counterfeit worship..
We have a choice... sola scriptura or sola Roma..

Passover, 6015 begins at sundown, April 3, Unleavened Bread begins 24 hours later, which will be a lunar eclipse. Firstfruits, at its conclusion at sundown, April 11.
This will be the first time since the temple was sacked that Orthodox Judaism will celebrate Passover on the Biblically correct day.
I read that if you owned one, they gave you a few days to turn it in or you would be arrested. I don’t understand why people keep denying it.
Now you're just fabricating things! These weren't perverted forms of the Bible.
I was thinking of Christ’s rule as described in Jeremiah31:33”But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the LORD, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34”They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the LORD, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”…
Explain Ezekiel 46 and his detailing three different days..
New moon, six work days and sabbath?
There are three different days..
Do have a concordance?
I would like you to explain how new moons, Sabbaths and feasts are clumped ‘together’ in about ten different verses under ‘moons 2320.
Scripture isolates those days as different..
And Ezekiel confirms this..
What is the new moon if it isn’t one of those six work days or the weekly Sabbath?
The world can’t explain it.. they don’t know how to categorize a new moon day..
He categorized it as an appointed time.. a time for banquets, feasting, special offerings and the markets to be closed..
Sounds a lot like a sabbath.. but He himse
f differentiates them from Sabbaths..
I didn’t.. He did.. I am just taking an inductive view of scripture and not a deductive view
And when the moon phase is 29.5 days on average, His calendar works perfectly through that..
Every one of His months has four Sabbaths.. one new moon day that starts His months.. 24 work days and four Sabbaths..
(A little different in the 7th month but we discuaaed why earlier)
And then a search for the new moon on the 29th day, at sunset of His Sabbath.. there are people who do that in Israel (and around the world) every cycle..
They don’t all see the Kingdom calendar, but they do see how important new moon days are to our Sovereign..
Those feasts that land on a full moon isn’t an accident.. that is what happens 14-15 days from the new moon..

You’re the main Grace nullifier here.
Grace is solely for those that have a heart for his way. If you don’t love his way, it can only be because you don’t know him. Love is the deciding factor; as he said, those that love him keep his commandments.

Ezekiel 46 has absolutely nothing to do with timing of the Sabbaths.
The opening of the chapter is explaining which days the east gate will be shut or opened.
It is normally open only on the Sabbath, but the new moon is an exception to that rule.
A little reading comprehension would be helpful! Verse three and six make it clear that new moons and Sabbaths are two separate things.
Very little of your posts make any sense on this.
Study Leviticus to understand the meanings of the offerings.
You have shown yourself to be the world so far.

(We do know, however, that in his curiosity, Peter had tried once before to "hide in a crowd", but was discovered by someone who recognized him. We also know there was probably some kind of sizeable crowd on the outside edges of the hill where Jesus was crucified, witnessing the crucifixions from a distance, and we know that with the kind of clothing worn in the Holy Land (both then and now), it is relatively easy to "hide in a crowd", if one is more careful than Peter apparently was in the courtyard. John and some of the women were up closer to the cross.)
And who are the"false teachers"?
PROTESTANTS!!!
Yeah, they were...there were NO OTHER CHRISTIANS THERE...the reformation didn't take place for another 300 years...
Baloney. Catholics are the ones who do not go by what the Bible says. I think we have seen that proven on these threads.
Is "prophecy of Scripture" prophecy?
Is "prophecy of Scripture" Scripture?
If the answer to both of those questions is "yes", then "prophecy of Scripture" is "Scripture and prophecies"!
The Bible also says that tombs were opened and many were raised from the dead...I'd kind of like to know what they looked like and where they all went...
