    No, I wouldn't expect a child to ask for a verse. My point was that many Christians make claims regarding God that aren't necessarily consistent with scripture.

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    It's not a "big deal" to me. I'm just discussing doctrine and providing Biblical support. It's certainly ok with me if another doesn't believe exactly as I. :)

    So what will be the Mark of the Beast at the end time

    It's a fascinating topic. I wish I had the answers.

    So what will be the Mark of the Beast at the end time

    As Satan imitates and counterfeits everything of God, I think there is an excellent possibility that the anti-Christ will be or claim to be Jewish and that Israel's Jews will recognize him as their Messiah. What do you think?

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    From your link: 1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. So I'll ask you. Of the two verses from your source, which one is correct?

    Dumb Things You've Bought

    Sea Monkeys! In my defense, I was 8 at the time.

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    What is their translation of 1 Timothy 4:10?

    So what will be the Mark of the Beast at the end time

    Yea, I'm inclined to think that it's a spiritual mark, perhaps. If we're still here when the time comes, I'm confident we'll see it for what it is! Until then, we can speculate.

    So what will be the Mark of the Beast at the end time

    I believe that the apostles were creating and teaching the words of Jesus and not the Old Testament. Why would the apostles be teaching the Torah, which had already been around for a few thousand years? Undoubtedly, the apostles were themselves writing down scriptures that were being copied and...

    I usually ask for a verse when people make such proclamations.

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    @CadyandZoe Let's take a look at how the KJV translation contradicts itself due to inaccurate translations. Inaccurate translations result in inaccurate doctrines. Matthew 25:46 KJV And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Ok. So some...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    As you can see above, I shared the following with our brother Jack, but I don't believe he understands it. Perhaps you will. I'll post it again. And, have you noticed that in 2 Corinthians 4:4, most English translations use the Greek word for "the age" and translated it to "world"? 2...

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    Ok. Let's try again. By the way, I only want to engage with friendly folks who are open to enhancing their understanding of God's word or can enhance mine. Let us love one another, share with one another, and agree to disagree at times while remembering what Jesus said, love one another.

    The Hell Doctrine - No doctrinal unity

    I encourage both you and Jack to consider if your engagement together is edifying and producing Godly fruit, or something else. I have a lot of people on "ignore" because I discovered that my engaging with them sometimes brought out a side of me that is not Godly. :)

    Has a Christian essentially DENIED the faith if they're constantly jerks to others?

    I sometimes forget myself and may be less-than-kind to another and then come on here and discuss the word of God. Yes, I am a hypocrite. And that's why I posted, what good is it to know the word but then not follow it?

    Has a Christian essentially DENIED the faith if they're constantly jerks to others?

    You're definitely going straight to Hell for having that opinion.

    Has a Christian essentially DENIED the faith if they're constantly jerks to others?

    At all times. God loves us and wants us to love him in return. I love my dog and hope that she loves me in return (she does!). :)

    That's all true. Fortunately, God gave us the ability to mourn passed loved ones and then be able to continue on. Although some cannot, such as a parent that loses a child.

    Have you ever visited https://www.religiousforums.com/ ?

    I never did figure out how to post there without violating one rule or another. My guess is that the person who originally created that community was well-intended but that, eventually, it was taken over by leftist atheists. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 KJV Be ye not unequally yoked together with...

    Have you ever visited https://www.religiousforums.com/ ?

    I did. It didn't go well. What I discovered is that they have a GAZILLION obscure rules that are seemingly enforced based on the political identity of the posters involved. It is administered by a bunch of leftist atheists. I ended up dropping out because it is NOT a place for fair and free...
