ewq1938 noted: <not always>> That passage does not explain the nature of the mark.

Apparently there is a Jerusalem in heaven (Revelation 21:2) as well as a Jerusalem on earth.

Anchorite noted: <It worked out very well, for here are you and I, recipients of and believers in the gospel.> I myself came to the faith through Gentiles, not through Jews. The Jewish leaders were appalled when Jesus said, "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30). They turned him over to King...

David in NJ noted: <The reason why JESUS referred to her as "little dogs" is because of the occult practices she was involved in, which led to her daughter being demon possessed.> Canaanites are semitic, but they are not Jewish, and Jesus was sent only to the Jews. Apparently the problem was...

IMO: o. A mushroom head is spherical, but a mushroom head is not a sphere. o. Measuring the shape of the earth as a sphere, over one location, does not prove that the earth is a globe.

"Marks on the body" was/is a pagan tradition. Bodies are the temple of God, no pagan decorum allowed.

David in NJ noted: <no denying Matthew 15:24> Jesus and the disciples initially went to the Jews, but the Jews rebuffed them, rejecting the claim that a man (Jesus) could be God. See Acts 13:46-48.

Anchorite noted: >"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19)> "Nations" in the Matthew 28:19 is Greek εθγη = "peoples." It is a mistake to fully equate English translation to the Greek word, because the semantic domain can vary. The gospel was spread first in the Middle...

David in New Jersey noted: <Jesus was sent as the savior of all men> Jesus was sent to the house of Israel (Matthew 15:24), with the idea that they would spread the gospel. Unfortunately that did not work out so well.

IMO: John the Baptist is the forerunner of a new era that looks to Jesus the Messiah, rather than to the Law.

IMO: The KJV is correct in saying "as it is written in the prophets" because Mark 1:2 is taken from Malachi 4:5 and Mark 1:3 is taken from from Isaiah chapters 3 and 4.

David in NJ explained: <The reason why JESUS referred to her as "little dogs" is because of the occult practices she was involved in, which led to her daughter being demon possessed.> I do not see anything about "occult practices" in the text. Jesus explained that he was sent only to the...

ewq1938 explained: <Gentiles are not dogs in that sense> Jesus said: "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their puppies." (Mark 7:26). That seems a bit perjorative to me, and I imagine it was appropriate, since Jesus was sent to the house of Israel (not to Gentiles).

Regarding Anti-Christ, let us understand: If God hates false prophets, then God doubly hates false Messiahs (2Thessalonians 2:4).

Spiritual Israelite asked: <When did I say "card...doesn't mean you're not saved"?> In your spiritual dreams. If you are Israeli you should be telling me these things, I am but a gentile dog (Matthew 15:27).

IMO: o This conflict is Middle Eastern only, not all over the world. o Refusal to take the mark has consequences (Revelation 13:15-17). o Taking the mark has worse consequences (Revelation 14:9-11). o Petra time! (Matthew 24:15-28, Zechariah 14:5).

"Melchizedek" is Hebrew: מלך (melek) = King צדק (tsedeq) = righteousness I.e. "King of Righteousness" He was an early king of Salem, i.e. Jerusalem. He was apparently not part of an order, rather he was directly appointed by God, as was Jesus: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me...

>What human being do you know has been alive on earth for over 2,000 years? > Angels and cherubim do not die.

"Day and night" is a Hebrew idiom for "any part of a day." We use the same idiom ourselves. If I work on something 2 hours on Monday, four hours on Tuesday, 3 hours on Wednesday, then I can say, "It took me three days."

<Can't because the Mark Of Beast is placed in the forehead or right hand and Card Chips are not placed in those places.> The tiny chip is the functional part, and they can be set in various places. Pets sometimes receive chips in the subcutaneous tissue before the shoulder blades. It's just a...
