A sardis is a gem, hard shelled and rigid. So your better off not trying to alter a Sardisean point of view. But... I gave it a try!

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour...

"When I have indeed conceited that I might be banished for my profession, then I have thought of that scripture: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword, they wandered about in sheep-skins, and goat-skins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented, of whom...

One of my favorite authors was locked up because of crimes against the state run church. John Bunyan would go on to write many classics even though he was spending the prime of his life in jail. Some of my favorites are... 1. Grace Abounding 2. The Pilgrim's Progress 3. The Life and Death of...

I am an apostate! In the eyes of some other Christian. Had I tried to of proposed these things in the wrong time and geography I more than likely would have ended up a martyr by some disagreeing Christian! My favorite Christian author in AnaBaptist times was John Bunyan, who spent a great deal...

If I had to pick an end time date I would go, word by word, with the scientist, Isaac Newton... "And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for...

Remembering the beginning of the Pergamean age, in which I believe started with Constantine... Constantine was a pagan monotheist, a devotee of the sun god Sol Invictus, the unconquered sun. However before the Milvian Bridge battle he and his army saw a cross of light in the sky above the sun...

I believe this prophecy justifies the seven movements of Christianity... Messianic Persecuted Orthodox Catholic Protestant Anabaptist Charismatic And attempts to speak to them in time. Also, noting the differences, few would agree with this interpretation. I would say to all who profess...

There are four churches that influenced my life.... 1. Catholic - My dad was at one time a Franciscan Monk and talked about it all the time. 2. Baptist - A Baptist church bus driver was most effectual to the point the whole family became Baptist. 3. Pentecostal Holiness - I had wonderful...

I must say, like Fonzie, the established churches of what I would call of the Thyatirean and Sardisean era, regarding doctrine, like Fonzie, would have a hard time uttering these words... (Fun little two minute video)

I would say that the Sardisean were so grounded in church doctrine that they would force others to join their congregation with threats of persecution. There was good reason for America to build a wall between church and state! The Sardisean were not lukewarm in doctrine!

I have a feeling Iwould have met my ends in a very cruel way if I had been born in Sardisean times! Remember John Bunyan, author of the Pilgrim's Progress, spent half his life in prison for bucking the Anglican church!

The bible, especially Revelation, is written with much metaphor. I cannot believe one can study Revelation, and the bible, and see the same perspective as another fellow believer. You will agree and disagree on the interpretation of different passages... John Bunyan was a great writer in...

The "7 church ages" Prophecy. I have heard this prophecy started by "quacks" and agree that this can be true. Especially when such people make themselves the "angel" of the church age as if all knees should bow to them. My beliefs are that the churches came along as follows.... The purpose of...

But... My griefs are not within the Charismatic direction. No one has been more embarrassing in this area than the former Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr.

And.... There is a third! I am a member of the Pentecostal Holiness church. My sister and her family are also members of their local Pentecostal Holiness church. My pastor has a Masters degree from Liberty University and I helped a niece through Liberty as well. The video below is one I took...

The purpose of Revelation was to reveal what was going to come to pass.... The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John.... - Revelation 1:1 Which all...
