    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    I saw that movie (I've always been a fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger back to his days as Mr. Universe), but there's nothing in scripture that actually says that. I'll grant you that the scripture actually does describe both the spirit of antichrist and the spirit of error, the spirit of this age...

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    I used to think that 7 was the number of completion and probably because esoteric teachings said so, but all creation was completed in the sixth day, not the seventh: 31And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth...

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    I found it interesting that the number 666 only appears twice in the body of scripture, once in the book of the revelation, and the other in chapter 10 of 1 Kings. "The weight of gold that came to Solomon yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold," I missed this repeatedly when I was...

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    Not exactly true: 18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. 1 John 2:18

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    The book of the revelation of Jesus Christ tells us of the last two witnesses martyred because of their testimony (and their works) and the passage is immediately followed by a description of the return of Christ. Not everything in that book is in chronological order, but these witnesses are...

    The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

    Or the Lord could've been referring to the generation of the righteous (as opposed to the generation of the wicked). Everyone born again of the Spirit of God is a first generation Christian (There are no second generation Christians, all that are born to flesh, must be born again.) If you can...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    Hearing the voice of God audibly would be cause of concern for anyone, but that doesn't exclude Spirit speaking to spirit, nor invalidate the scripture: "Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the...

    What Keeps Us From Sinning In Heaven?

    "We shall be like Him" is possibly the most awesome phrase in scripture and also one of the hardest for me to imagine. While I could be content to hide in the Lord's shadow for all eternity, He has greater plans for us. "For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of...

    the 4 horsemen--ancient or now?

    I don't think the horsemen were limited to the events described in the book of the revelation. There is another passage in chapter 1 of Zechariah that mentions 1 horseman and 3 horses "that were sent to walk to and fro throughout the Earth." Zechariah's prophecies seem to relate heavily to the...

    Trial run... Or the real thing?

    I knew two guys that were sent home from Jersey Shore medical center to die because the hospital had no effective treatment for the virus, and they did. The virus is real enough, as is the pandemic, but the lethality of the virus (the estimated mortality rate) is much lower than originally...

    Why the pope could not possibly be the Antichrist

    While I don't really believe that a pope will be the antichrist, there actually have been military popes in the past that lead armies. You might find some of the history of the early Roman Catholic church enlightening (though reading the available historical records is a bit tedious.)

    The confessions of a repentant microbiologist

    Do you own stock in a pharmaceutical company? "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal."

    Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

    Just another consideration for those who have such ideas in mind; Though raised as a Roman Catholic, following the traditions and being confirmed at the age of 13, I would not describe myself as Christian while at that age or while attending college. I always admired Jesus Christ and thought of...

    Poll: Does the mainstreaming of tattoos open up increasing opportunities for faith ink witness?

    While I wouldn't necessarily disagree with you here, I would see "Christian tattoos" about as meaningful as the icthus displayed on the bumper of a vehicle that passed me on the roadway, and the one finger salute from the driver of the vehicle who was apparently angry about my own driving (for...

    The confessions of a repentant microbiologist

    DPMartin, as you've asked "so what's the point?" , please allow me to help you discover that point. The Apostle Paul wrote in his letter to the Ephesians, "8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all...

    The confessions of a repentant microbiologist

    Thank you for supplying so much information from your research. While I know nothing of the people who produced this video and don't necessarily trust their analysis of events, Dr. Mikovits' testimony was very compelling and very convincing to me. The Lord has given me a gift of discernment...

    Just a song waiting for some music

    Are you surviving or are you living? Near the end or the beginning? Building walls or just forgiving? You have to make some choices. Can you hear someone calling? Are you standing or are you falling? Afraid of death, while life's appalling? Just shut off all the voices. Turn around so you can...
