1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels...

Pretty blah. It's typically 5-10 C here in BC Canada

Such as? I have more information if you're interested. Agreed with you there. I'm just trying to figure out how to counsel him.

The person thought he was the antichrist (intrusive thoughts tried to convince him) then he thought he was Jesus (again intrusive thoughts). Before this episode, he DID confess Jesus as the son of God and his savior, so on that note I believe he was a Christian and still claims to be... So what...

Did this person commit the unpardonable sin?

Yeah it kinda seems like... most of the world wants USA to die

I still don't have a clue what's going on in this thread And at this point... I'm afraid to ask

What date was did this occur in your view? Specific or general approximation. Thanks!

I don't think that particular scripture is speaking about rapture. It does describe what happens when Christ returns, though. And remember, at one point, before the papacy, the Historicist position was, at one time in history, futurist in the sense that it was looking forward to prophecy being...

@brakelite @Dave L and anyone with a Preterist or Historicist view 2 Peter 3:10 makes it clear what happens in the end times. How has this scripture been fulfilled by the Preterist view specifically?

Uh, Jesus didnt return a second time to judge the nations.

I'm trying to investigate how such a system will be enforced from the top down and I don't have a solid answer yet. Please explain how every single transaction one makes in that world is supposed to be preceded by a display of "religious practice" How are vendors supposed to discern who to buy...

Yes but only through technology is this such a control system as "social score" possible. Anyway, thanks for explaining your side of the interpretation.

Agreed. That's the point I'm trying to present.

I'm still trying to grasp how, in the future, vendors are supposed to discern whether or not the customer in front of them legitimately worships the beast in order to complete transactions. I'm envisioning that every single customer will have to make a rock'n'roll sign with their right hand and...

@BreadOfLife Here's the thing that really gets me about Paul. He must have been the most Spirit filled man ever when he was writing the NT, yet he never claimed he was sinless or that he had completed the race, but that he was still pressing on, still striving against the flesh and unholy...

You're not arguing against me, but against Rev 14:9-10 which clearly states the reality of those that TAKE it.

The act of taking the chip is inexorably linked with worship of the AC system.

I'll rephrase. How are vendors supposed to discern the spiritual affiliation of their day to day customers? What mechanism verifies their affiliation? Scripture is the authority, not personal interpretation. Wouldn't you agree? If you can't buy or sell without it, then it can be said to...

Well, taking the mark is the unforgivable sin in God's eyes because the one taking it is telling God they submit to the devil over Jesus and that they worship him as God instead.
