Sorry, I do not understand your point. I do not believe God judges any person based on an economic decision ... we are judged on how we respond to the Gospel ... what we think/believe. "If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will...

Firstly, I would be interested to see your response to the Scripture links I posted in #169.

Trump honors God and the Bible in an overt manner that is encouraging to see. He is also supportive of Christian values in society, especially schools. We have been spared the ungodly influence of Kamala Harris as president. So, yes, I believe God is using Trump. And I agree we should pray...

That assumes "no man might buy or sell" means shopping in a store. It seems rather far fetched to me to say that 8B+ people will not be able to buy or sell unless they have a visible mark. So, is "no man" the population of the whole world, or is it no one in a certain group?

Do you think that considering all the references in Revelation to forehead/s and right hand that the meaning is literal or symbolic? Even if one comes down on the side of symbolic, that does not rule out a physical manifestation. However, if we do see the "mark" as firstly symbolic, then it...

So socialists think fossil fuels are good?

When we consider the significance of forehead/s (mentioned 8 times in Rev) I think it is clear that it is symbolic. We can also consider the significance of right hand (mentioned 7 times in Rev and throughout Scripture) to determine whether it is literal or symbolic. If you scroll down to...

A close reading of Ezekiel 16:49 & 50, shows that it was because of the "abomination" ... Ezekiel 16 refers to the Levitical Covenant where abomination is identified as homosexuality. This is supported by 2 Peter 2:7 which also identifies the sin of Sodom as sexual immorality. Here in Australia...

This is where it is important to understand the MOTB is not a literal physical mark (at least not only a physical mark) ... the "forehead" and the "right hand" indicate more than accepting a literal mark ... it is complete and willing submission to the antichrist spirit.

If your comment at #5 does not pertain to the videos posted, then I most humbly apologize.

Will you be so kind as to explain which post #5 is addressed to?

That applies to everything!!

You did not address it to any specific post ... you simply made a blanket dismissal of information in YT videos.

That representation of the view being presented is quite extreme and lacks balance. Judgement, punishment and hell are all part of Jesus' teaching. However, love is more powerful and should be the main focus of the Gospel message we present.

I credit most posters in this forum as being aware of that fact. When evaluating a video presentation, we look at the credentials of the author. Whether one agrees or disagrees with Mosab yousef he does not fit your categories of "gossip, spin, misrepresentation and deception". He has...

Jesus had the power to perform miracles, but He did nothing without His Father's authority - John 5:19 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise...

That is an interesting distinction ... I think you are saying that simply accepting a creed or "Statement of Faith" of some church does not save us ... it is a personal, heart-felt faith that unites us with Christ.

Yes, they did not realize that Jesus identifies Himself with the human race. This saying by Jesus should make us all pause and think Matthew 7:22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your...

Matthew 25 is the final judgment and I agree with your reading of that passage. When Jesus said “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" He is talking about our personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ in our daily life.

I am wondering how you see the place of faith since you say "we are not saved by accepting a belief in Jesus' atonement."
