  Schizm, are you arguing in favor of the Watchtower here?

  The Watchtower doesn't see Rome as having exercised universal rule. Does that answer your question?

  And insofar as your comment about there being "no Roman numerals," that's 'neither here nor there'.

  The maps of the "known world" for the Romans at that time did not account for entire continents. North and South America. Australia. And as another poster mentioned, the Pacific islands.

  So what you'd have me believe is that there were peoples who found their way across oceans in order to take up residence elsewhere in the world ... while Rome's government wasn't paying attention?

  Yes. Oceans. No Roman numerals.

  So you think that there were peoples who were able to traverse oceans that the Roman governnment found impossible to do?

  You certainly have NOT addressed the questions posed to you about China, the Americas, and that pesky Roman wall. -- jgnat.

  Do you actually think there were inhabitated places that were out of the reach of the Roman empire? Do you really think that Rome itself wasn't able to also go where any such peoples might have ventured out to? Can you prove that any such peoples were never subject to Roman rule?

  Hold on there, "wherever the sons of mankind are dwelling" referred to Nebuchadnezzar, not Rome. -- M.J.

  If you'd been keeping up with this thread you wouldn't be so confused.

  Anyway, I'd like to know, in what way was China under Rome's sovereignty? -- M.J.

  You might ask badboy, since he seems to think that China was a Roman province. Can you prove that Rome never exercised universal rule? No, you can't. Why didn't you respond to my questions here: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/102760/1775972/post.ashx#1775972 .

  Schizm, this reminds me of a round-and-round session with Scholar on 607.

  Because you've settled on one particular "absolute" meaning of a scripture, are you in fact denying that ancient Asian, pacific island, American, etc., civilizations even existed? Or that they in fact were all ruled by Rome? -- M.J.

  I've chosen to place my trust in that which I've come to believe was God-inspired. And when that book says "wherever the sons of mankind are dwelling" I take it to mean exactly that. To me, that spells out "universal rule". No matter WHERE people might have lived during the time that Rome ruled as 6th King (Re 17), they all were under the jurisdiction of Rome.

  EVEN CHINA WAS A ROMAN PROVINCE. -- badboy.

  Better be careful there, badboy, some of the others here might not like you saying things that support my side of the argument.

  M.J.,

  In your own words, what do you make of all the so-called "authoritative" crap you've copied and which you choose to place your trust in?

  Don't be afraid to commit yourself now! Just spit it out.
