Is the mark of the beast going to be started by Republicans passing religious laws?

Tell me your excuse of Sunday Sabbath ..did you ever think about it before? I didn't. The only excuse I ever hear is that early Christians did it ..as if that makes it okay somehow?

They have the same Bible, it's just the corruption they do in the organization

I find it hilarious that the SDA think that there's going to be a civil code penal law about Sunday worship...

Ok...we can't get people into churches now.

The second anyone claims to be a believer that's usually a cause for worry because for whatever reason that's where the craziness comes out of most people.

Every thing that the government (or retired Bill Gates) does is the mark of the beast or a step towards the end of the world.
Good grief...the Ivory tower is empty... except for the cobwebs.

But whatever...

Revelation 13:4
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

WHO would want to fight the papacy??


Revelation 13:13
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,​

Sounds like US military weapons to me.

Revelation 14:12
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

There isn't going to be a physical mark until
Revelation 16:2
And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

That doesn't say when they received the mark. It looks like they already had them before they were plagued with sores.

Have you ever looked into what "Vicar of Christ" means? ..the nerve of some people.

The biggest issue is the way they tricked you into changing Sabbath to Sunday ..they
literally tried to change the Ten Commandments.

Who do you think "changed" the day? And when? Christians were already worshiping on Sunday. Jesus fulfilled all the holy convocations of Leviticus 23, including the first one listed, the weekly Sabbath. Keeping a physical day as law is the letter. Jesus is the Spirit of the law. Worshiping on Sunday is not a change in the law. There is no law to "keep" Sunday. It is a celebration day of His Resurrection and also the start of the New Covenant, and the end of the Mosaic law.

Are you holding to all Ten Commandments ..or not?

The New Covenant started at death by the rules:

Hebrews 9:16-17
For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

The Ten Commandments were the ministry of death. It was the Old Covenant. We are under a New Covenant, the Covenant of the Spirit, not the Law.

2 Corinthians 3:6-11.
6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.

Oh, I see, so the Ten Commandments became optional ..cool

Wait, pretty sure the Ten Commandments get written to our foreheads as God's Seal.

The laws of the New Covenant are deeper than the Ten Commandments, and they are written on our hearts. That is why we must be born again.

1 John 3:21-24
21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. 22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. 24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

It's still the Ten Commandments. Four for God, Six for your neighbors
