I will formulate as succinct a response as I can. Thanks for asking. Maybe a day or two as I have preparations to complete for the coming Sabbath, but will respond when I can. Just a point as food for thought. There are real world physical and monetary ramifications for refusing the mark...

Sadly, there's a very powerful faction within evangelical. Christianity working through politics to change that paradigm.

I agree totally that it is essential for Christians to be filled with the Spirit of God. Christ in us, the hope of glory. However, history is awash with people who claimed to have the Spirit of God, and led others to places like Waco, Guyana, and kool-aid refreshments. If those people had...

Early in my Christian walk...48 years ago...I was visiting a friend and noticed a book on his table. "The Book of Mormon". I had never heard of the book, and didn't know who Mormons were, so picked it up to have a look. The moment I turned the first page, I felt physically ill. I put the...

Here's why I wouldn't bother going to a Buddhist site boasting of miracles...or demonstrations of the supernatural. I would deliberately avoid such a site for the same reason I don't go to nightclubs. I don't muck around with ouija boards. I don't talk to demons if I can help it. I don't...

So. Very good. Now you have identified the beast... papal Rome... what is its mark? I think that is fairly important to get right.

Thread 'The Restrainer. And the Restrained.' The Restrainer. And the Restrained. Lol. I've written on just about everything... somewhere haha

The Early church fathers knew who the restrainer was. They knew who Paul was talking about... pagan Rome was restraining the rise of Papal Rome.

I don't think membership of a denomination is necessarily a characteristic of stupidity, nor necessarily a guarantee against it. And sorry if I have caused offence, I wasn't suggesting you in particular belong to that class. Just saying that God's expectations are for us to think. Not simply...

Why do people interpret the scriptures? Are they written in another language? Why not simply accept the scriptures as written? Sure, there are some passages that are hard to understand, and there's a lot of symbolism in prophecy, but God has promised that “If any man will do his will, he...

I have a somewhat different view of the restrainer. See what you think... Thread 'The Restrainer. And the Restrained.' The Restrainer. And the Restrained.

If you have time, read through this thread... Thread 'No Denomination named... Evidence Presented... You Decide' No Denomination named... Evidence Presented... You Decide Naturally, as is common with all threads of this nature, there is disagreement. But read through my posts carefully...

“1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. ” Romans 3:1-2 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Romans.3.1 To Israel were given the oracles of God, but spurned their testimony...

So they are metaphorical Jews making up a literal number. Prophecy doesn't work that way. If a prophecy has a symbolic aspect to it at all, we can't make another aspect literal. For example. Revelation 12. What is symbolic and what is literal? And why?

The sense of being hidden was in context of prophecy. Futurists cannot see the antichrist that is working in plain sight right under their noses. They still think he's not come yet, and they won't be here anyway, so who cares? Preterists are even worse. They think he's come and gone. SMH

“1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. 2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness. ” Isaiah 57:1-2 KJV...

Hi. Eschatology is fraught with difficulties because there are 3 different methods of interpreting prophecy in the church. Each one is exclusively independent of the other 2 with slight overlaps. Those 3 are preterism... where prophecy is generally thought to have been completed by 70ad. Then...

“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. ” Romans 4:17 KJV
