I will have to get back to you more in depth later... Then how is the system enforced? It cannot be enforced verbally because then people could just lie about it to buy and sell. There has to be something more involved, more restrictive than a mere verbal pledge of allegiance. So tell me how...

Try Revelation 14:9-10 Either way, this isn't something that you or anyone else in the world should gamble with. If the supernatural event were to occur with messenger Angel's flying through the air proclaiming Rev 14:9-10, and then a few days later, every 1st world nation with a functioning...

Correct. But it is still the decision of the individual to take the mark. It cannot be forced, meaning this isn't a deal that the devil can do whenever he wants to. God, on the other hand, can deal his children with the seal of promise. In your previous reply, it sounded like you were asking if...

Where in scripture are you finding these metaphorical "beasts" ?

Because God is merciful and doesnt want any to perish and He is always waiting for people to repent and turn to Him for salvation. The devil has not been given the power to take whomever he wants, but only by the willful rejection of God by man's own decision does the devil then possess that...

So what if we get identified as Christian's at this time... are you saying we are supposed to say we do not know Christ in order to save ourselves... or should we own our allegiance to Christ and suffer whatever happens boldly?

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that a person cannot have evil actions (hand) without evil intentions (mind/heart/forehead) Yet in Revelation 13:16, it says And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on...

You cannot have actions without intentions. Therefore, one cannot only recieve the mark in the hand alone. Yet the passage says "forehead OR hand"

I don't believe I've heard of the "three witnesses" aspect of Revelation. Could you explain?

Bible says it would have been better for them to have not known the ways of righteousness, than to know it and reject it... Anyway Francis is scandalous.

Right. Taking captive every thought to bring it into conformity with the mind of Christ. I want to do this more but it feels like I have bad thoughts that come into my mind and I feel defiled just by thinking them.

I don't see anything lovely or redeemable about myself, even though I'm redeemed by Christ. Earlier in my walk I felt less condemnation than I do now. It's like I'm going backwards. I learn more about how depraved and lacking I am as time goes on.

I was reading through Galatians 3 and it says: Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh? So here's the thing... I believe I am born again and am indwelt with the Holy Spirit which compels me to try to mortify the deeds of...

This is a warning against hypocrisy. It is possible to judge rightly. We are called to discern good from evil and act accordingly. Hebrews 5:14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. The bible condemns fornication constantly...

Because you said- I don't believe I was. Still, are you saying we are to condemn others whom we think will refuse to come out of their sin? Because I don't think we can know 100% if someone will repent or not.

If we're talking about LGBT youth who have Christian parents yet lack a solid relationship with the Lord, then no, I think throwing them out is far more likely to make them resentful towards Christianity and Christians than it is to make them want to seek Christ. If we're talking about those...

And these leaders and their churches are in grave error, but we should not be there to cast final judgement on them because there is always the chance that God will bring some of them to knowledge of truth.

Well, nobody knows for sure if another is irredeemable. We should not give up on others, especially our children, just because they are in a season of sinning. God may call them out of it. Our job is to be there to support them when that happens.

Yes, homosexuality and LGBT is a perversion of the sexual union God intended for us. I just want to caution that it is an unchristian thing to do to kick out a son or daughter for being LGBT or to no longer support them if they are in need. Since we are supposed to be Christ's ambassadors to the...

@Malsi Si Live That's an interesting take and thank you. I'm still not getting why you would replace "he" with "it" though, so I'll stick with KJV personally.
