    Mark of the Beast and salvation

    I agree. But we need to acknowledge that the beast whose mark we are discussing, is an earthbound system. It isn't Satan himself, for deeper studies reveals the Antichrist as a counterfeit system to Christ. And receiving a literal mark on ones forehead or hand is no more egregious than a tattoo...

    An Omniscient God Negates Free Will

    You cannot use human logic to find out God. And you haven't really offered an answer to the premise in the post you quoted. Your first premise, that God's foreknowledge influences your decision making, is unproven. Just because God is omniscient, does not mean He removes your choices. Just...

    Mark of the Beast and salvation

    How does one receive the seal of God? If you have the seal of God, you won't be able to buy and sell either, and the seal of God is not a literal mark. Of you have the seal of God in your forehead, there will be no room for the mark of the beast for your character and lifestyle will refuse it...

    Mark of the Beast and salvation

    The mark of the beast entails a choice as to who you serve. You may believe in God, but you choose, whether for convenience or deceived conviction, that the beast has final authority over your life therefore you tender to the beast your allegiance by accepting that which the beast himself has...

    An Omniscient God Negates Free Will

    Ultimately you are blaming God for your wrong choices, even when those choices result in much hurt to both you and God. So God's foreknowledge locks in those choices for evil that you make, even though God warns you to take the other options? Seems to me you have a skewed apprehension of who God...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Appreciate your understanding. Thank you. I can be blunt at times and come across as belligerent and impatient and lacking in sympathy, yet as you say, face to face I am a cuddly teddy bear.

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    That's a great question, and one I've mulled over often. I see Israel and the church are now one. There is no special agenda for either one, both are now included in God's promises for His kingdom. The gospel to be preached by the church, (Revelation 14:6-12) as present truth for these last...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Love is the fulfilling of the law. Yes, it goes beyond the decalogue, but doesn't exclude it.

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Can you give another example on the English language... Or Greek... Whereby,a law met/obeyed/fulfilled means passes away? For example, can i convince the police officer that because I obeyed the speeding laws yesterday, they don't apply to me today?

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    I do not know who you were quoting, but he was lying, in that he said the Christian church had nothing to do with the Sabbath. There is historical record showing churches observing the Sabbath hundreds of years after Christ. Even the council of Laodicea, I think in the 6th century?, condemned...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    KJV Nehemiah 9:13-14 13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments: 14 And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    KJV Ezekiel 20:12 12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them . KJV Ezekiel 20:20 20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    KJV Exodus 31:16-17 16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    It seems to me that many go to a great deal of trouble in order to "prove" that observing the 7th day Sabbath is not a Christian observance, yet defend Sunday observance with assumptions and tradition. No where did scripture declare the Sabbath no longer observable for the church. The early...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Is it good, righteous, virtuous, to obey God, or not?

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Paul speaks of ceremonial Sabbaths as shadows, certainly, and with that I cannot disagree. What I am concerned about is the weekly Sabbath as a ceremonial, rather than moral, imperative. I am sure you would agree that the ceremonial shadows were instituted with one purpose in mind... As a...

    On Cows, Law, Dog Kennels and Obedience.

    Any media outlet that expresses public opinion in any form, for example talk-back radio, is awash with concern over the current state of crime, violence, social addictions and morality. Much of the debate centers on law, what changes need to be made if any, and how to enforce those changes once...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Yes, He confirmed the law...KJV Isaiah 42:21 21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable . However, can you provide some scriptural confirmation regarding that "which is now called the Lord's day"? Can you prove from scripture that...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Amen, that the power of God's word... It is His creative medium. And it is by beholding we are changed... Recreated in His image. An image that walks as He walked..."I have kept My Father's Commandments".

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    I don't see those above as commands as such, nor do I see the 'ten commandments' of Exodus 20 as commands in the normally accepted manner. That expression, "be" etc etc, I view as promises, much the same as "thou shalt". It is a command, sure, but not that one must strive to obey, but rather...
