I see it that what Satan,aka Lucifer, began in heaven was an idea. It was a political/ideological concept which deceived a third of heavens population, even those who should have known better. But such was this idea, so cleverly disguised, that it sounded perfectly logical to some, and maybe...

I was originally known as Brakelite. An allusion to attracting people's attention when danger's ahead. Backlit came into existence when I accidentally signed off the forum and no-one could help me sign in again as my password was forgotten and the forum email system broken. Backlit means I'm...

The shocking thing about that meeting is that anyone was awake.

And I'm glad He didn't give up on me. It took years to finally convince me to accept Him. In the meantime I rejected Him several times, and yet He saved my life at least twice that I know of during those years.

Not exclusively of course, but He held no qualms concerning sitting down and eating, drinking, and talking with those who not only opposed Him in everything He said and did, but we're considered as outcasts of society.

Except Jesus was constantly being denigrated and abused because throughout His 3.1/2 year ministry He chose to eat with sinners.

KJV 1 John 2:15-16 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world...

There is an easier way to work all this out. Discover from scripture and history who put what the beast is... He is fully identifiable from prophecy... And ask the beast what it's mark of authority is.

You are on the right track fluffy. Just remember that worship is involved, and required. And it's legislated through a government in union with the church. The principle aspect of worship is surrender. Who we worship is who we obey. That is the hand in action, and it could be from compromise...

And not withstanding my previous comments regarding ORU, it would be difficult to reject outright the possibility of bias.

Well, that I knew what ORU stood for suggests a certain familiarity. Apology accepted.

My comment wasn't intended to be denigrating. Just a matter of fact.

Fair enough.

I am well aware of who Oral Roberts is... Or was. When I first received Jesus in the 70s and joined the AoG Oral Roberts was the bee's knees, along with Kenneth Copeland and a few others, and everyone including myself, had his books and cassette tapes. I am sure that many people came to know...

I come from NZ, now a very left wing led country that seemed to be in a race with the Australian state where I now live, Victoria, as to who would legislate the most extreme liberal policies and how soon. I've never been to America, so everything I know about the US is second hand, through...

That such a study was done at Oral Roberts University doesn't come as a surprise.

Heard this believe it or not in the supermarket the other day...

Revelation. It's exactly that. If you allow scripture to interpret scripture, and avoid interpreting scripture by what you see, then it ceases to be a mystery. Good didn't have John present it in order to confuse. It's in the bible for the sole purpose of encouraging the church and offering His...

Shocking but true. Everything was designed and ordained for life. Hence the tree of life. Death is an enemy. And in the end, it will be destroyed along with sin and sinners. Death is a foreign invader and totally incompatible with God's universe. KJV Genesis 1:29-31 29 And God said, Behold, I...
