Do you think that you would end up not being saved just because of taking a physical mark if it's not made clear that doing so means you are rejecting Jesus Christ? If so, that would be ridiculous. God isn't going to condemn anyone for mistakenly taking a physical mark without knowing exactly...

Yes, I've noticed that. They literally never do. They would rather spend time coming up with wild speculations than look at what scripture actually teaches because, apparently, the biblical facts are too boring for them.

When He said "these great buildings" would be destroyed (Mark 13:1-2), He was clearly talking about the temple buildings standing at that time and they were destroyed just as He said they would be. And it happened in 70 AD. It's ridiculous to deny this.

That's total nonsense. I'm not going to waste any time reading any further. There is only one future day of the Lord and it is referenced in passages like 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 and 2 Peter 3:10-12.

I don't believe it's even possible to worship the beast without also having the mark of the beast, so that loophole scenario is not one that I can take seriously.

And how do you know that? My question was about the seal of God. Do you think that is a physical seal? If not, then why would its spiritual opposite be a physical seal/mark?

Both Paul and Peter taught the one and only second coming of Jesus Christ in the future. As for your comment about Matthew 24:31, what in the world are you talking about? A gathering process? You can't be serious.

Other translations do not have the word "or" in that verse before it says "anyone who receives the mark of its name". They have "and" instead. Worshiping the beast and having the mark of the beast go hand in hand. That verse is not saying someone can do one without the other. Think about it from...

How will anyone know who has the seal of God, which scripture says is on the foreheads of believers? Do you think the seal of God is a physical seal that can be seen? Jesus said that people are known by their fruits (their actions - Matthew 7:16,20), not by having a physical mark on their right...

Exactly! They are turning a spiritual matter (salvation, eternal destinies) into one that is based on physical things like a physical mark which has NEVER been the case. Spiritual salvation is never based on doing or not doing physical acts. Do you notice that many of these people who think the...

He addressed the question at length in his response and you are saying he didn't? What is wrong with you? Grow up. If you don't like or understand an answer, that's your problem. You can't claim that it wasn't answered just because you don't like or don't understand the answer.

Stop your foolishness. Showing that the words buy and sell are sometimes used figuratively is not a diversion at all.

Why can't it be? Notice in Proverbs 23:23 it talks about buying the truth and not selling it. Is the truth a material thing that we can buy or sell? No. Jesus talked about people buying from Him gold and white garments (Revelation 3:18). Was He talking about literal gold and white garments? No...

By bringing up the other verses I'm showing that buying or selling does not have to be understood in the sense of buying or selling material things. So, that should be taken into consideration. Yet, some do not seem to want to even try to take that into consideration. Having the mark of the...

So, tell me how someone would not be able to buy or sell without the spiritual mark of the beast? Is this a legitimate question to ask you based on your beliefs? I don't think so, but I guess you do for some reason. No, it was not. It's ludicrous to ask me how physical things can be bought or...

That is a lie. I do not back away from any challenge to my views ever. I have explained what I believe and why. If you disagree, fine, but you can never accuse me of not wanting my views to be challenged. How does it make sense to ask me about something that only applies to your beliefs? That...

That's fine. But, if you have any questions for me then ask them according to what I actually believe, not according to what you want me to believe.

I will believe what I want without your permission. I agree that you can't buy or sell without it, but I disagree that it's talking about the buying of material things. But, go ahead and think that it's talking about a literal mark that somehow means that someone is not saved and doesn't have...

I do not believe it's a visible mark and do not believe it's talking about the buying or selling of material things, so why are you asking me that question? Ask me questions that actually apply to what I actually believe. Is that too hard for you to understand?

I don't believe it's talking about buying or selling material goods. I've already explained my view. Take it or leave it. Stop asking me questions as if I agree that it's a visible mark. I don't. Cain has nothing to do with this. The seal of God is not a visible seal, yet it talks about it being...
