Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham." Galatians 3:7. "For they are not all Israel which are of Israel; neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children… but the children of promise are counted for the seed." Romans 9:6-8. "For...

Yes, all that already happened. 20 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. When did this happen? AD 70. 24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Already fulfilled prophecy, according to Jesus...

Eternal life. But it's only available for believers. If one becomes a non believer, it's no longer his.

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Only you can know if you have believed...

Certainly, one can become reprobate and be spit out. But it sounds like there were unsaved people in this church who thought they were saved. If he's still on the outside knocking on the door, that person has not yet repented and received salvation.

We are destined to do good works if we join the group called "elect". We are not predestined to salvation in the sense that we are chosen and others aren't. God is just.

I think Antichrists are legion, but that he is the one mentioned in revelation, because revelation was to the churches of that time. My current understanding is that Christ will indeed return, but we are in the millennium now. The biggest relief in believing this is one no longer has to be a...

Show me, don't tell me. "Father Abraham had many sons, many sons had Father Abraham! I am one of them and so are you, so let's just praise the Lord!" Guess what...I am Israel too!

Why would I be disappointed? pretty much every generation of Christians thinks they're the terminal generation. Kissinger was going to be the Antichrist... Gorbachev was going to be the Antichrist. Anyone remember..what was it... 85 reasons Jesus is coming back in 1985?

I'm of the opinion that Nero was the beast of revelation. His image was on the coin and he was worshiped as God.

Hmm, do you really believe following the guidelines keeps one from getting infected? Shrug...I rarely go in a store and I work at home and live in the woods. You can not get much more social distanced than I already do on a normal year. I did say be careful, meaning don't hug my 90 some year...

I think the masks are worthless. It's all feel good solutions that really do next to nothing. I'm not saying don't be careful, but you are going to be exposed at some point. Accept it and go back to your life. Boost your immune system if possible.

And Martin Luther thought the Pope in his day was the Antichrist. You are just speculating with no evidence whatsoever. God is in charge, but does God actively control everything? Of course not. If he did, he could not claim to oppose sin and hate sin. God allowed this virus, as he allows many...

None of this explains why you believe that this virus is going to lead to the end of the world. It might well lead to packed churches after we get off lockdown. Yes, people are having life interrupted by peace in some cases or turmoil in others, both of which can lead people to deeper thinking...

Why do you assume millions are going to die? We are having our restrictions lifted. I actually have not done much differently. I still work, still eat and so on. I'm not seeing any famine in this country.

And Paul was a well learned Pharisee, who writes deep theology. The Bible has many modes of literature, and they all must be read as they are written, poetry as poetry, theology as theology, songs as songs, and prophecy as prophecy. Some is literal some is figurative, some have a little of both...

But the mark is given by the beast, not God. God gave us work. This is pure speculation. It's about people killing each other, not a virus killing people. Obviously a reference to war.

I don't see how that answers the question about the mark. So, you are saying we are all born with the mark? I guess I never heard that joke 40 years ago. From my perspective, God was good and life was good at that time.

How does that fit with the mark Revelation 13? Are you saying this took place at the fall of man? So part of revelation is also in Genesis?

Ok, another question, what do you make of the mark put on believers? Many technological explanations continue to be offered for the “mark of the Beast” which is placed on people’s foreheads in Revelation 13. Such interpretations completely neglect the earlier passage of Revelation 7 where an...
