“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. ” Romans 4:17 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Romans.4.17

God's foreknowledge, even before creation, informed the Father's and Son's decision to create despite the knowledge that sin would require an answer for creation to survive. That answer had to be agreed to between them both, before they started rolling the ball so to speak. The Father could...

You sound like farouk.

Such a thing is deeply personal, I would rather not comment on regard to others. All I can say is I believe God would disapprove of me having one. I'm 72, and I don't have one tattoo. Not boasting or anything, because there have been times I was attracted to getting a tattoo. Not anything...

I agree with you regarding the Vatican... but it is Christ Who destroys it using the kings of the earth as the vehicles of His wrath. I disagree with you concerning the kings and their territory. I believe they are global, a confederate of kings placed as rulers over 10 artificially designed...

Gnostic spiritualistic allegorical nonsense.

You are applying a prophecy to present literal political powers, aka Russia, but which was applicable to a power that existed in the time of Daniel. The bear which the prophecy refers to was Meda-Persia, which conquered the lion beast of Babylon, and was itself conquered by Greece. Whether...

@Jack Your understanding of eternal punishment, in common with so many others, insults God, destroys His character, and exalts the character and malignity and cruelty of satan. And yes. That teaching does not come from scripture, but was popularised by Dante. Contrary to the popular...

The Rock is indeed Christ, but the destruction referred to here is at His second coming, when He literally destroys all those powers whose philosophies, and predominant pagan religious elements were inherited by the sea beast of Revelation 13. All elements of the statue were destroyed at the...

There are at least 2 different religions represented here. Catholicism. Holds tradition to be above scripture. Designates a coterie of priests and prelates as the only authorised teachers and expositors of Scripture. They themselves are subject to their superiors known as the magisterium...

I agree with you, and did exactly that 27 years ago. Humbled myself, pleaded forgiveness for my backsliding, my lack of spiritual responsibility toward my family, allowing myself to revert into old habits. I asked for a fresh start. I discarded everything I had previously learned, except...

And that's precisely what this thread is about. Numerous different denominations, sharing some beliefs, differing in others, but not allowed to discuss them because it is deemed as attacking by the denomination whose doctrine is being criticised. The result is that horrible compromising...

I will formulate as succinct a response as I can. Thanks for asking. Maybe a day or two as I have preparations to complete for the coming Sabbath, but will respond when I can. Just a point as food for thought. There are real world physical and monetary ramifications for refusing the mark...

Sadly, there's a very powerful faction within evangelical. Christianity working through politics to change that paradigm.

I agree totally that it is essential for Christians to be filled with the Spirit of God. Christ in us, the hope of glory. However, history is awash with people who claimed to have the Spirit of God, and led others to places like Waco, Guyana, and kool-aid refreshments. If those people had...

Early in my Christian walk...48 years ago...I was visiting a friend and noticed a book on his table. "The Book of Mormon". I had never heard of the book, and didn't know who Mormons were, so picked it up to have a look. The moment I turned the first page, I felt physically ill. I put the...

Here's why I wouldn't bother going to a Buddhist site boasting of miracles...or demonstrations of the supernatural. I would deliberately avoid such a site for the same reason I don't go to nightclubs. I don't muck around with ouija boards. I don't talk to demons if I can help it. I don't...

So. Very good. Now you have identified the beast... papal Rome... what is its mark? I think that is fairly important to get right.
