327: Christianity Wasn't Influenced by Pagan Religions!
... As J. Machen explains, the mystery cults were nonexclusive. "A man could become initiated into the mysteries of Isis or Mithras without at all giving up his former beliefs; but if he were to be received into the Church, according to the preaching of Paul, he must forsake all other Saviors for the Lord Jesus Christ....Amid the prevailing syncretism of the Greco-Roman world, the religion of Paul, with the religion of Israel, stands absolutely alone."[21] This Christian exclusivism should be a starting point for all reflection about the possible relations between Christianity and its pagan competitors.

331: What is the abomination of desolation of Daniel & Matthew?
... But the prophecy in Dan 2 says the "kingdom of iron" will shatter previous kingdoms not future. Therefore it is likely that Josephus had the abomination in mind. When the Romans conquered the city of Jerusalem, and entered it, their pagan soldiers entered the temple, (defiling it according to Jewish Law), tore down Jewish ornaments and temple accoutrements, and raised in stead the pagan symbols and Roman standards. Some suggest the abomination was fulfilled when Roman standards and pagan symbols were placed in the temple. Conclusion: 1. There is absolutely no reason to view the abomination of desolation as some future event, when it was clearly fulfilled in 70 AD! 2.

349: Trinity proof texts: John 17:3
... It is obvious that Jesus and the Father are not the same person, but two distinct persons. Therefore Jesus is not God. The fact that the Father is the "only true God", excludes Jesus as being the "only true God". Our preliminary comments: No verse in the Bible ever outright states that Jesus is not divine or God. John 17:3 does not say that Jesus is not the only true God. Jehovah's Witnesses use faulty inductive logic to incorrectly conclude that Jesus is excluded ... Little children, guard yourselves from idols." 1 Jn 5:20-21 This verse in no way excludes Jesus from the group of "only true God". The word God is used in the sense of class of being, not the name of the Father here and in many other places. John 1:1 actually says just this: "In the beginning was Eve.
