The news reports starts with saying that the $100 note was planned for release many years ago but there were delays. If the chap with the dream in 1980 (as he says) then it might be interesting to see when the plans were made and how public the information was. He says 2003, it is now 2016. Was...
I am inclined to think that pretty well all of Daniel's prophetic utterances (now in writing in the book bearing his name) are about past events. There may be some exceptions. Not many.
Do you feel that people have to believe the same as you to have salvation? No
What are your minimal requirements for you to consider someone a Christian? Don't have any, it is good if they accept the Nicene creed.
What sends them to hell? God. But I think you're asking what beliefs maybe, or...
Objectively it is the faith of the church - that is to say, the content of the faith is the Church's. The act of faith is mine by the enabling grace of God (I believe, help thou mine unbelief*). The content of the faith is the doctrine and moral teaching of the Church.

Our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep. Heb. 13:20
The chief Shepherd. I Pet. 5:4
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and...
The holy scriptures urge the faithful to press on into holiness without which no man shall see God. Yet many have theologies that deny that perfection can be attained. Some even deny that the pursuit of it is good alleging that good works can play no role in the salvation of God's elect. This...
Let the facts speak or themselves.
Romans 6:13-16 Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness. 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since...
I chose to skip #14.
Psalms 31:18-20 Let the lying lips be dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt. 19 O how abundant is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for those who fear thee, and wrought for those who take refuge in thee, in the sight of the sons of...
Daniel 13:48 Taking his stand in the midst of them, he said, "Are you such fools, you sons of Israel? Have you condemned a daughter of Israel without examination and without learning the facts?
The facts ought to speak first.
Here we have a monastery town called New Norcia. It's a good place to visit. It's quiet and the monks are friendly. One of them is assigned to come talk with the visitors after dinner in the visitor's lounge. There are often nuns and other religious visiting too and they share meals with the...
One pentecostal chap used to chat with me regularly. If I made a comment or asked a question the reply was about 45 minutes long and very meandering. The chap who did this used to talk and talk and talk waiting for the Spirit to inspire/guide him. The Spirit didn't inspire him. His long...
I visited a Pentecostal meeting for every Sunday over a year and six months. During that time I was prophesied over many times. Told I would be a minister and do great things for God. Told I was a little fly in a teacup looking out at the wide world. Told I was gifted with prophecy. Told I would...
It seems that presenting the facts ought to be the best way to teach. But if the facts do not support your doctrine then a bit of brow beating may help. If that will not suffice then one can try threats. That may fail so after that one is left only with attacks against persons and the church. I...
It's very sly of them to say "I think the Lord is saying such and such" but it is hardly a recommendation to hear that from one who says he/she has a prophetic gift. "I think" is a sure sign that you;re about to hear an opinion rather than a word revealed by God. When God speaks the speaker of...
The prophets in the old covenant received the Spirit who led them to prophesy and they spoke truth accurately in every word from God that they uttered. How can a Christian born of the Spirit speak untruth yet label it as the prophetic word of God to the people? Surely the New Covenant is much...
In the holy scriptures a prophet's credibility was not measured by a few prophecies being true but rather by any being false. It was sufficient for one false prophecy to label a prophet as a false prophet.
