    2000 years later, only Paul has the authority

    1 Timothy 1:16 Berean Standard Bible But for this very reason I was shown mercy, so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His perfect patience as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life. Many translations provide not “that in me the first”, but...

    Should I buy a sword?

    Some people try to claim that Jesus wanted His disciples to arm themselves, to have weapons for self defense. But when Jesus said buy a sword, and the disciples replied they had two swords, Jesus said that was enough. Thus, the swords were not for self defense or for killing those who attack...

    The Mark of the Beast...

    That seems impossible, to get the mark of the beast, but not worship the beast. Scriptures sound like you will get the mark if you worship the beast. You would not want the mark of his name if you just wanted to buy and sell, but did not worship the beast. I do not think the two can be...

    The Mark of the Beast...

    Oh, I’m sure people in remote places will get to where the mark of the beast is given, or the marking team will visit them. How could a mental attitude of allegiance to the beast determine if you can buy or sell? Seems more likely and logical that the mark is technology, similar to the...

    The Mark of the Beast...

    It seems like worshiping the beast and getting his mark go together. I do not think a person can get the mark, then claim they do not worship the beast. Revelation 14 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his...

    The Mark of the Beast...

    How could John know the Father’s name was written on their foreheads, if this is not a literal physical mark? Worship of the beast includes receiving the mark of the beast. This worship could be subtle, just agreeing to get the chip implant or RFID tattoo, so you can buy and sell. I would be...

    The Mark of the Beast...

    So if the day comes, and it seems to be coming swiftly, when we have to buy and sell via an implanted computer chip or RFID tattoo on the right hand and forehead, will you go along with it, thinking the mark of the beast is not anything physical?

    The Mark of the Beast...

    The Greek word for mark (charagma) means a stamp, imprinted mark, or brand so it does seem to be a literal, visible, physical mark. So, it is a physical mark to identify those who can buy and sell. It’s not spiritual. It must be physically seen. Take Scripture at face value. Technology has now...

    The Mark of the Beast...

    A literal, physical mark does not contradict John 3:16. If you believe in Christ, you will not get the mark of the beast.

    What do you guys think of AI bots like Grok, chatgpt, etc?

    What do you guys think of AI bots like Grok, chatgpt, etc?

    You are not paying attention. Did you ever hear of anyone forming a romantic attachment to Google? People are falling for AI. Really. Take the man in Canada, for example, who recently proposed to an avatar called Saia. He says he is in love with it. And last year, a young American woman using...

    Update on World System.

    How does Revelation 20 contradict the numbers calculated by the Joshua Project regarding unreached people groups? Do you persist in denying that there are vast multitudes that need the gospel?

    2000 years later, only Paul has the authority

    1 Timothy 1:16 does not say that only Paul was selected to teach how we today are saved. All the apostles taught the exact same gospel. You persist in dredging up the same tired theme in post after post. Are you trying to gain followers for your false doctrine?

    Talks with Iran have failed. Trump says Iran will not be allowed to sell any oil, if they block Strait for other countries, US will block their ships

    You are adding your conjecture to the scriptures: That is not what that verse 16 says. Genesis 15 13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 14 And also...

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    Yes, very tragic. Hard to believe he was ever a Christian, but I have had some extremely low points in my life, too. We must be thankful for what we have.

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    2bme has died? Or just got banned? He was not happy being in this forum. From what I have seen, he just lashed out at Christians, and even begged to be banned.

    The good man that turned bad out of necessity

    Then why are you posting on a Christian forum? Perhaps an agnostic discussion platform would please you more. Your hatred cannot provoke or disturb anyone here. Go have fun doing something you enjoy.
