It's funny-stupid that people go by a prophecy by a non apostolic to make the bishop of Rome fit into end time prophecy. The length that a person will go so he can hold on to tradition rather than study to "shew himself approved."

It does not matter to me whether or not an obscure prophecy by a papist mystic comes to pass or not. I know hat the Bible says, and when God has allowed her error to reach its fullness, He will then destoy.

The RCC is nothing more than a pagan perversion of the true church. She stands firm on only a few issues of morality, and her grip on those is more than a little tenuous. She is both the mother of all modern denominations and Islam, an illegitimate child of hers. She has never hesitated to kill those who stood for more truth than she was willing to accept at any given time and tried to erase all record of opposition to her rule.

Yup spoken like a true Apostolic..Lets Bash the other Religions cause we all know the UPC/Apostolic church is the (One True Church)...lol o you guys never cease to amaze me on Bashing other Religions or Denominations.

In my opinion... the vast majority of denominations (UPCI included) are rampant with pagan and/or reformist influence be it doctrinal, structural, or traditional.

Guys... even the beloved "sermon" is pagan. The early Sophists perfected Platonic rhetoric with a monologue that comprised of an opening, text/preposition, and at least four supplimental points, and a closing. The very structure of most sermons is... pagan.

Biblically speaking when Christians gathered, they gathered in smaller groups. There was a reading, some hymns, and open discussion with regards to the Scriptures or the life of Jesus. All "preaching" was discussion based or extemporaneous, led by the Spirit.

Paul tells us what a meeting should be like:

I Corinthians 14:29-38
29 Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. 30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. 31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. 32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. 33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.
34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
36 Or did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? 37 If anyone thinks they are a prophet or otherwise gifted by the Spirit, let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command. 38 But if anyone ignores this, they will themselves be ignored.

Now, that's a BIBLICAL gathering.
