I think being faithful requires the conscience awareness of what one would be being faithful to.

The Pharisees were the strict holders of the Law both written and oral. Their problem was they had great outward show, but were dead on the inside. Otherwise hypocrites unable to do themselves all the law required, except when parading out in public or teaching in the temple.Doesn't the word allegiance basically mean, faithful to a person or cause? Can't we unknowingly be faithful to a belief that's actually a lie since Satan can come to us as an Angel of light and influence us to believe a lie to be true. So, if that is so, doesn't that mean such people are unknowingly giving allegance to Satan who has influenced them to believe that lie to be the truth. Jesus when on Earth said that the the Pharisees belonged to Satan. He said when speaking to the Pharisees that Satan was their Father. Do you think Jesus was saying that these Pharisees were knowingly worshipping Satan, no of course not, but because the Pharisees were people who focused on the oral law which had nothing to do with the law covenant but were additions of imperfect men, not inspired utterances from God, they were being unfaithful to the law covenant which was inspired of God therefore unfaithful to God. There allegance was with Satan was it not?

How long is soon?Doesn't answer the question. The promise of soon wasn't given to God, but to men.
What if Nero was actually the Antichrist?
I'm not a big end times speculator, but that theory actually makes a lot of sense...
I go by everything that is said about the last days in scripture, ....
The last time we "talked" you couldn't/wouldn't provide the Daniel 2 accounting of FIVE; versus the Daniel 7 accounting of FOUR. So if you can't resolve that FIVE ≠ FOUR, -- how is it that you can obey Scripture?
Maybe your "husband" hasn't told you what to think yet ...
Men hear from GOD; Women hear from their husbands. So men that hear from other men are women ...Bobby Jo
What does that prove?"Neron", --"N E R O N" --.
People are so good at ignorance, and so bad at facts,

Jesus said "In this generation." That's not 2000 plus years.How long is soon?
This particular generation described by all the signs coming together simultaneously, not this, as in "your generation".Jesus said "In this generation." That's not 2000 plus years.
Luke 21:24 King James Version (KJV)only of course that is being interpreted ultra-literally, and surely will not literally come to pass
well so you say, but i suggest that there is a more pertinent way to get that, less self-centered maybe, more inclusive of all times? And Jesus seemed to be plainly enough indicating to those standing there that it was their generation that would not pass away?Luke 21:24 King James Version (KJV)
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled..........
......32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
This is OUR generation.
He was talking to people of that generation,This particular generation described by all the signs coming together simultaneously, not this, as in "your generation".
AKA....."this generation I am describing to you will not pass from the regathering of Jews in Jerusalem"....ish.(Luke 21:24)
Jesus said "In this generation." That's not 2000 plus years.
That's not even an answer. When Jesus talks about going down into the house and about synagogues, in the same passage is he being non literal? These are images from his time, and the Jewish Christians time, not ours.And "die laughing" is ABSOLUTELY LITERAL. And so too everything in Scripture.
Silly people,

The Greek version of his name when put into Hebrew letters has the value of 666, while the Latin version has the value of 616.? It ain't "N E R O N"?
Whew,
Bobby Jo
That's not even an answer. ...
... the Latin version has the value of 616 ...
