Ron DeSantis Ends Campaign: "A Majority Of Republican Primary Voters Want To Give Donald Trump Another Chance" Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed former President Trump in this video posted Sunday afternoon on Twitter, two days before the New Hampshire...

Looking at the most recent 20 threads in this subforum at the time of writing this post, eight are directly related to Adventism and two can be seen as indirectly related (the Sabbath-related ones). That's 40% of the topics being explicitly about it, and half the topics if we count the Sabbath...

With elections coming up, I've been seeing a lot of advertisements trying to attack pro-life candidates running in my area for (allegedly) being against abortion even in the case of rape and incest. That phrase (or something very similar) is repeated ad nauseam in these commercials, saying they...

The devil's attempt to tempt Jesus is well known from Matthew 4:1-11. The pertinent portion for us is Matthew 4:1-4: Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and...

During the process of canonization, there are obviously records and such about it, like the testimony of witnesses (either on the person themselves or miracles attributed to them). I know they have to be available somewhere because I've seen works refer to them, but I don't know where the full...

While there's a lot of information on dates/locations/contents of biblical manuscripts, there seems to be much less information readily available concerning the manuscripts of extrabiblical Christian texts. For example, Shepherd of Hermas, Ignatius's epistles, Irenaeus, Origen, Jerome, etc...

So being fluent in English, fairly competent in Spanish and mediocre in Japanese and Latin, one thing I've noticed is that all of these languages are, quite frankly, kind of crazy and not at all, for lack of a better term, "sensible." For example, while Spanish is fairly standard in its...

One of the interpretations of the Book of Revelation is that the seven churches that John addresses were prophetic in also referring to seven different time periods of the church. Does anyone know who was the first person to offer this interpretation? It's okay if it doesn't match up perfectly...

Figured this might be a good place to ask this. It's my understanding that unlike English, where if you go back to just the year 1000 you basically find a different language, Koine/Biblical Greek is actually reasonably comprehensible to a modern Greek speaker, though obviously not as much as...

This is an unusual question, but if there's anyone here who knows Syriac, can they tell me what Daniel 7:17 says in the Peshitta? Or more specifically, if it says "four kings" or "four kingdoms"? If you want to know why I'm asking... English translations of Daniel 7:17 normally use the phrase...
