We believe the order of the world powers was: Egypt; Assyria; Babylon; Medo-Persia; Greece; Rome; and the 7th Britain-United States. As I stated in my post to you, we believe the Beast that was then not and then was again was the League of Nations that was formed after WW#1 which went into the...

Hatred is an interesting subject Matt, especially when referring to the Bible. The Bible really don't have what most people have in their understanding; degrees of hatred. It seems that there is simply a dividing line love/hate in the Bible. Simply put we are to love the things God loves, but...

Hi Marc, Really quite a difficult subject, but of course Christians do not have to worry about receiving that mark. If one practices the meaning of being no part of the world, they will never be in a position to receive that mark. Keep in mind that the beast represents governments, and...

Hi Matt, James is probably the most notable book on reasoning about Christian works. So many people have been misled into thinking that a person only has to believe in God or Jesus to be saved. Jesus' brother James makes it very clear that faith which is essential part of our worship, must be...

Hi Mike, great subject sir, learning scripture is necessary in the Christians life. Being a Christian is actually a learning process in which we will never graduate Ecc 3:11; Isa 2:2,3 Taking in knowledge to come to know God and Jesus that leads to everlasting life, is actually the first step...

Not with guns sir. I agree that Christians are not exempt from those passages, but we would never take up weapons to defend them. Kind of a stretch to support Christian participation in war don't you think Marc.

My email address is [email protected] if you would like a faster response sir. Be glad to. I will start by mentioning one of the most quoted scriptures John 3:16, may I ask how that would play into Jesus being "God the Son"

Yes sir, I agree the acting agent will be the United nations as well. Rev 17:7-11 The beast was League of Nations, and is not, and ascends out of the abyss United Nations. It is the 8th King.

Hi John, there is no doubt the times we are living in are critical times 2 Tim 3:1. Christians are certainly not removed from the worldly influences that we have to deal with every day. What you mentioned may touch into the warfare that Christians are involved in and that is the spiritual war...

As you can see sir, you are not we. We have. That is not to say that we don't own guns, many of us do, but when I rarely shoot mine, it is usually done at a gun range.

Interesting passage you use to support war, seems to say exactly opposite, at any rate it is a good passage as it is what a person is actually judged on, the support of Jesus' brothers in their assignment.

(2 Samuel 6:3) . . .However, they placed the Ark of the true God on a new wagon to transport it from the house of A·binʹa·dab. . . Yes sir, they had carts, but China has tea as well, so what is your point, are you able to give a Biblical example of any Christian participating in any carnal war...

The road of course was a parable, which stood for life or death Matt. Those who are Christ's disciples, are obviously on the straight and narrow path, focused on living the faith.

I think it is quite likely maam, from the time we became a nation God has had us keep record. Those records were to be passed down from generation to generation, and the Kings or leaders were to read the book of the law. It is true that during the period of apostasy many of the records were...

We have beat our swords into plowshares sir. Without an example in the Bible, we must be obedient to the teachings given to Christians, it is not an option.

Christians follow Jesus, what did he do sir? What did he do when he saw that man murder a child?

Yes sir, it will be Jesus leading the way in the battle, not his earthly followers. Perhaps you can justify police, as Christians do things through the courts, but one could never justify taking a stand against a governmental authority according to Rom 13:1,2 you would be taking a stand against...

Exactly!

Chastise? The Bible sets the standards sir, you choose to obey or reject. It is very true that under the old covenant, we were to battle with others. Keep in mind those were sanctioned wars, and when we participated in them when Jehovah did not tell us to, we fared badly. Those of us under the...
