Lowlifes? Oh, you mean those who haven’t repented? By the way, repented of what? Could it be calling other sinners lowlifes as if one does not qualify as a sinner?

Why do you post this stuff Debp? It only generates outrage and hate and recrimination. It is not constructive at all.

I guess Paul never taught us how to make bread, drive motor cars, deal with AI or the procedure in dating girls. What Paul does is marry The Jesus event with God's overwhelmingly generous Grace. Paul defines the character of God as revealed in Jesus.

Selfishness has the human family well saddled. Cain was told that sin was crouching at his door (for those who don't give symbolism in the scriptures any weight, this is one to think about) and that he was to beat it. So yes, we are our brothers keeper.

It makes cutting carrots easier ie, having a sword. I mean, why else would I want to have one unless I aspire to be a pirate!

The judgement seat being a physical throne or sorts is missing the point and arguing irrelevancies.

The conclusions are this....If the mark is physical it will be obvious to all and sundry. If it is not then those waiting for a physical mark to be manifest and will be waiting indefinitely. I propose that if one is waiting for a physical mark to manifest (irrespective of what form) as some...

The term 'mark of the beast' is not referencing a microchip or a tattoo or some physical mark. It is a reference to the conclusions the mind/ heart draws. When selfishness is the primary paradigm with which people are seen and acted towards we could say this is a mark or the defining factor in...

Judgement Seat of Christ for who ? Jesus paints a picture of two sides, sheep and goats.....and gives the reasons why there are these two groups. I guess one could say this is the judgement seat? Matthew 25:31-46

The only laws given directly by God and written by him were the 10 commandments. All other laws given were to Moses. Moses inevitably interpreted them through his own paradigm which was informed by his education in the house of Pharaoh. Pharaohs M.O was do or die. Jesus challenged much of this...

Of courses he challenges the stoning (death penalty). "neither do I condemn you" is a diplomatic rebuttal of that law.

Any justification for violence while taking the name of Jesus as our Saviour is nothing short of hypocrisy.

Consider it, a beast! Beasts resort to violence as a matter of course. I seems for them the best way to operate. The mark of the beast or a beast is? The mark or seal of Jesus is?
