How do I obey papal dogma and surrender to papal authority? Don't make accusations like that without even explaining what you're talking about.

No, he's not saying that. You don't need to question his faith just because he doesn't like the term you're using. He's saying that it is called "the seal of God" in the scripture and has a problem with you calling it "the mark of God" as if that really matters, which it doesn't.

A mark and seal are the same thing, so it doesn't matter if he calls it the mark of God. It's the spiritual opposite of the mark of the beast. Why don't you use scripture to interpret scripture? The seal of God is a reference to the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after...

The chronology of the book is self explanatory? How so? How exactly do you think that we can determine when it's not in chronological order such as in the case of Revelation 11 and 12? It doesn't tell us whether the elders are a symbol or not. So, your default is to assume they are not? Despite...

No. Why would He do that? Prophecy is about things that are going to happen as written. You can't change what has already been determined. The point I'm making is not that the rapture occurs at the sixth vial, but that it will have not occurred yet at that point because Jesus is still saying He...

What do you mean by that exactly? How so? For example, how exactly do you know that what is described in Revelation 12 does not follow what is described in Revelation 11 chronologically? Tell me what exactly your understanding is of "an historical/grammatical hermeneutic". Are you sure that's...

You are contradicting plain scripture here. According to John, they are antichrists because they deny that Jesus is the Christ and deny the Father and the Son. John explicitly said that anyone who denies that Jesus is the Christ and denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist and that...

But, he expanded on that in verses 22 and 23 to include anyone who denies that Jesus is the Christ and not just those who had departed from them. You are the one who is missing the context. Why would only those who departed from them and deny that Jesus is the Christ be antichrists, but not...

Are you talking about the whole book? Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders, which...

Good post. John did not say there was an individual Antichrist coming as many falsely believe. He pointed out that there are many antichrists and that anyone who denies Jesus is an antichrist. It was the spirit of antichrist that was said to be coming and it had come already when John was...

John indicated that anyone who denies that Jesus is the Christ is an antichrist. That includes those who departed from John and the other true Christians, but it's not just them who are antichrists. These Jews that you're talking about deny that Jesus is the Christ, right? So, they too are...

Where does scripture teach that "the day of Lord contains a time of peace and tranquility."? That's not what I see portrayed in passages like 1 Thess 5:2-3 and 2 Peter 3:10-12 which both have the day of the Lord as containing the opposite of a time of peace and tranquility and instead have a lot...

How does this address what I said? Can you acknowledge that Jesus will not have come as a thief yet, which means the rapture will not have happened yet, as of the time of the sixth vial? Revelation 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water...

I can see why you wouldn't want me to interfere with this scintillating, highly productive conversation you're having with Davy.

Where are you getting that from? Yes, they do. Tell me how someone can be Amill without believing that all of the dead will be resurrected at the same time (or generally the same time)? Part of the core beliefs of Amill is not believing there is a thousand years (plus Satan's little season)...

Yes, I did. Read post 121 again. All whose names are not written in the book of life worship the beast (Rev 13:8). Tell me how that can possibly describe the Papacy and RCC? How do Muslims worship the Papacy and RCC? How do Hindus worship the beast and RCC? How do atheists worship the Papacy...

Not what I said at all. Where are you getting that from? I didn't say that at all. Looks like you are not willing to have a reasonable discussion and are resorting to nonsense instead? I expected better from you. I didn't say that at all. You clearly didn't read what I said carefully at all...

You agree with Amillennialists that all of the dead will be resurrected at the same time, per John 5:28-29. Does that make you uncomfortable?

There was no previous reference to what happened to the rest of the beasts, so that's why that information was put in there. It's not as if that is the only parenthetical verse in scripture. Another one is Revelation 20:5, or at least the first part of it. People who don't recognize that think...

I didn't say that you thought it was a Bible scholar. I was just illustrating how you shouldn't put too much trust in it. I'm not insulting your intelligence at all, I'm simply telling you to not put too much trust in that. You are so easily offended and overly sensitive that you convinced...
