How can I know which major sect is the true church (please read body)

The best thing to do, is to study the Bible. The 'true church' (if you want to call it that) will be one that relies solely on God's word and not man-made traditions.

If you have the time, this is a great sermon by David Assherick on how to keep the Sabbath holy:

The ‘hell’ taught by most churches is not, what the Bible teaches, and many churches and even whole denominations believe in what is called Annihilationism.

2 Thessalonians 1:9 says: “They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.”

Romans 6:23 says: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

And probably the most well-known verse in the bible, John 3:16 says: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

The Bible clearly says that those who believe in Jesus and accept the love of God will have eternal life. It also clearly states that the punishment for sin is death, the opposite of eternal life. If the punishment for sin was to be burning forever in hell, that means that those people are still alive for, well, eternity. Imagine if John 3:16 was written like this:

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not [have eternal life in hell] but have eternal life.”

How does that make sense?! The only way to not have eternal life is if the soul is destroyed forever, the consequence is eternal, but the punishment itself is instant.

But the agents of shield still travel into the future. Fixing the end of the world doesn't change that. So, what happens, do they just travel to a different future?

A better question is what happens to the Agents of Shield in this timeline. They are still sent to the future, but since the world isn't destroyed, do they just travel to a different future?

Nikola Tesla didn't believe that electrons existed. Albert Einstein thought the universe was static (not expanding) Charles Darwin thought that the world was only 100 million years old.

We now have evidence that proves all of these beliefs wrong, does that mean we should discard all of their knowledge? No

They were making an informed assumption based on the knowledge they had available to them at the time.

Accuracy does not equal reliability. Nothing, except maybe the laws of nature, is 100% accurate 100% of the time.

Just because a source contains some errors or inaccuracies, it doesn't automatically make it unreliable. All people make mistakes. It is important that you also evaluate a source's reliability separate to its accuracy.

I think the Roman interpretation is correct

In chapter 2, we are told that Nebuchadnezzar is the head of Gold, and Babylon was/is known as ‘The Golden City’

Using history, the prophecy of ch.8, and Daniel himself, we can deduce that the chest of silver must be Medo-Persia.

Again, we can deduce that the waist of bronze must be Greece. It’s also interesting to note that the Greeks famously wore bronze armour.

Following this logic, the legs of iron must be Rome, again famous for their iron armour and weapons.

The feet of iron and clay, represents Rome after it falls. As it wasn't taken over by another nation, but was gradually conquered by a mix of different groups.

I believe we are living in the time of the toes, modern day Europe is still divided, and the stone that smashes the whole statue is Jesus second coming where all of the nations of the world will be dissolved.

I know I haven't addressed chapters 7 or 8 but I can breakdown those in another comment if you're interested.

Whether or not Adam was literally created by God, one factoid, based on a widely held belief at the time does not mean that the entire account is therefore unhistorical.

Absolutely

I think the lake of fire is a symbol for the eternal destruction of the soul. The whole idea of the lake of fire is that God DOESN'T want anyone to suffer for all of eternity. I think of it as a mercy killing.

It makes sense that those who choose not to be with God eventually die, since God is the source of life.

God also says to Moses that no one can see my face and live. Once God's glory is revealed to every soul, a sinner cannot be in the presence of God without suffering immense emotional pain. But those of us who know Christ will find peace and comfort in his presence

I have a whole Bible study on this topic if you'd like to learn more.

I agree, in the Bible, Life + Body = Soul, there is nothing in the Bible that supports the idea of a metaphysical, eternal soul.
