    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    No deflection. Find out who the beast is then ask the beast. It's that simple. But you aren't willing to go that far. Why are you hiding the Antichrist from plain view?

    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    KJV Revelation 12:17 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    You still don't know or recognize the real Antichrist, how can you know what his/her/it's mark is?

    What does it mean to be born again?

    That's all you are doing? Is it? In your posts to others, (not all) you make things direct and personal by saying, "you are still carnal, fleshly, and have need of Christ", on the sole basis of their differing in theology. Paul said those things based on evidential behavior and character. What...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Paul said that having some straight testimonial evidence from witnesses... One man sleeping with his mother in law. Does anyone here have such evidence that others are yet so carnal they must be constantly rebuked as Paul found it so needful to do?

    What does it mean to be born again?

    All of which I agree with... But do you have to repeat that personally to individuals as their prime issue? Can you not teach this truth as a generic truth and leave the holy Spirit to do His work in convicting individuals of their needs? It isn't your job to convict individuals of their...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    The old carnal selfish man is dead. The scriptures say so. That old man, the old carnal nature we were born with, is the first husband of Romans 7, and Jesus is the new Husband. That doesn't mean that our struggle has stopped, I also have my battles. But the victory is already won, and it is...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Are you saying that @marks is an advocate OSAS? I didn't know that. I certainly haven't discerned that from what he has been contributing here, although I must confess I have read every single post on this thread... It jumps 10 pages every time I enter. If he is a OSAS type of guy, I would have...

    What is the one true Church?

    You hit on a truth many are unaware of, and which the Catholic faith replaces. Jesus is our sole Mediator and ministers in the heavenly sanctuary as our sole High Priest and intercessor. It is to Him and through Him alone we come to the Father. Anything else replaces Christ, removes Him as our...

    What is the one true Church?

    It doesn't matter what denomination you choose to belong to, except in as much as some have more truth than others, are better equipped for mission work than others, and are oriented more toward holistic health than others. Salvation isn't denominational. There are genuine sincere Christians in...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    You may think this is helpful, and it may be to someone who is actually in that position. But what effect do you think it has upon someone who is in fact walking in light and faith, does have a true faith and has experienced true repentance and knows Jesus and relates to Him daily? How can you...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    May I tweak the above just ever so slightly, even though I think you are saying the same thing... We walk by faith right? So...if we believe that old man is indeed dead, and the new resurrected man we are today is alive in Christ... The fruit of that faith, the fruit of that belief, the result...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    It's fascinating how definite... How devoid of doubt or error...Like an absolute truth...Epi is in his perceptions of others characters and motives.

    What does it mean to be born again?

    That act of justification, all included in Christ's death, applies to the whole world. No-one is excluded. However, those who refuse the offer of salvation and refuse to believe, take back their sins upon themselves, choosing to die the second death themselves rather than the Son of God. Some...

    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    One more point. The Antichrist itself boasts as to what it's mark of ecclesiastical authority is. "Sunday is the central doctrine of the Catholic Church from which all her other doctrines emanate". This is from the Catechism... Not however a verbatim quote. Can you see how the buy and sell...

    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    I have good reason to offer the above advice... Your eschatology is as confusing as Babylon itself. Like others here, you are using disparate verses from here and there and made to force fit a preconceived theory. You mock, as others do, SDA eschatology, yet you fail to grasp the very first...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    She fails to recognize the spiritual truth that being born again literally changes a person here on earth from being a hopeless sinner and unable to know God, to one who may partake now of the divine nature and overcome sin. She fails to see that the kingdom is within us, and Jesus living within...

    What does it mean to be born again?

    Remembering my own experience of conversion... Born again... Was the result of my realization that in God's eyes, my way of life was not up to His holy standard. I wasn't considering the law at all, whether Moses'law or God's. A friend had simply asked me, "do I think my lifestyle meets with...

    Does the Bible identify "Babylon"?

    Babylon is forming in the world right now before your very eyes, is as religious as you could possibly imagine, and you can't see it. Explains why the whole world, including every denomination and nation, and yes, even some in my own, will be deceived by her lies and receive the beast's mark...
