    Revelation 13:12 says "everyone on earth, will be forced to worship the beast", does that mean everyone on earth needs to repent? (refuse to repent?)

    Not just them, but all born of flesh and blood--we are that beast, that man of sin revealed.

    Revelation 13:12 says "everyone on earth, will be forced to worship the beast", does that mean everyone on earth needs to repent? (refuse to repent?)

    The Beast is us. Living in this world, we live in the form of flesh and blood, which is the form and mark of the beast--of our father the devil. It's not coming, its here, it's always been here. Believe therefore in the salvation made available by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the only son of...

    1 Corinthians 11:4-5-To Cover or Not to Cover—Is That the Question?

    Newton, all good questions! The biblical narrative is revelation (regardless of the topic). As covering/hair goes, it is a parable example cast into the creation of mankind of the image of God. About the hierarchy--not actually between men and women--but between God and mankind. Which He has...

    GENESIS CREATION CHALLENGE: Can you teach it without changing words and contradicting yourself? Doubtful.

    The words of scripture are revelation from God on many levels. In the simplest terms, Time is media from God. By definition however, Space, Time, and Matter (the very elements of this fallen world) show God dividing eternity (Himself) incrementally out to His multitude of children. It is a...

    BRIEF 'Example' Rightly Divided

    I'm not following any of that. The idea or time of "rightly dividing the word of truth", came following the advent (coming) if Holy Spirit, made avaliable by Christ completing the advent of flesh and blood. Which is the transition point of the kingdom of God vs. this world, or the commencement...

    GENESIS CREATION CHALLENGE: Can you teach it without changing words and contradicting yourself? Doubtful.

    Yes, very often the case. But the thing to ultimately understand is that time by any measure was created as a means or media for revelation of the things of God which have no such measure. Making every measure only relative to the things of this world as mere examples--as timeless, Godly truth...

    GENESIS CREATION CHALLENGE: Can you teach it without changing words and contradicting yourself? Doubtful.

    Good thinking! Even we commonly refer to years as being days or times. For instance, "back in my Grandpa's day." But the thing to ultimately understand is that time by any measure was created as a means or media for revelation of the things of God which have no such measure. Making every...

    GENESIS CREATION CHALLENGE: Can you teach it without changing words and contradicting yourself? Doubtful.

    If I may... Daniel [by God] defines "day" as "time" in the saying "a time, times, and half a time." Wherein he states (or summarizes) all the times of his people--not excluding Adam or any adopted into Abraham--first stated as a multiple of "seven." Which is also what Jesus did in saying...

    GENESIS CREATION CHALLENGE: Can you teach it without changing words and contradicting yourself? Doubtful.

    You are referring to things occurring in this world made manifest after the fact. That is not the cause, but the effect made manifest in this world. From which there is no extrapolation to be made. All knowledge comes from God.

    GENESIS CREATION CHALLENGE: Can you teach it without changing words and contradicting yourself? Doubtful.

    You are speculating--speculating language confused by God. The literary information of which is little more than understanding at the lower level and way of mankind. Not the best source of knowledge. Meanwhile, I have given you more already than you have discovered. Which I say, not to boast or...

    Saint Peter And His Keys

    In the account involving Peter from which the keys to the kingdom authority comes, Jesus stated the keys regarding authority as not "flesh and blood", but what comes from "My Father in heaven." Jesus defined it. The Catholics simply went with "flesh and blood" instead. Unfortunately. Pray is...

    Everybody needs to watch this important message.

    That's not what is actually happening. That's just what they want you to believe.

    Everybody needs to watch this important message.

    Ron, Both are in the news right now to head off the likely comebacks, to show just who has Constitutional authority under the actual current circumstances: We are already at war, but under Continuity of Government (covertly) unbeknownst to the general public, and more importantly unbeknownst to...

    GENESIS CREATION CHALLENGE: Can you teach it without changing words and contradicting yourself? Doubtful.

    Again...some good, but some not. Some incorrect. Your idea of an "ethereal" existence is good. But as for the timing, the creation of time and the dividing of the light from the darkness was the cause of the fall. Wherein everything we now consider as a condition of this world was still being...

    GENESIS CREATION CHALLENGE: Can you teach it without changing words and contradicting yourself? Doubtful.

    It doesn't help to go on and on. Calling the "woman" "Eve" does not mean they were two different women, any more than calling Mickey Mantle "Slugger" means he was two different men. On the contrary, the narrative as it was originally told just shows a progress from the "woman"--Adam's "wife"...

    GENESIS CREATION CHALLENGE: Can you teach it without changing words and contradicting yourself? Doubtful.

    THIS IS MESSED UP...just your own narrative instead of someone else's. What you said in your first post was good, but then in your second post commentary, you didn't hold to it and just gave your own interpretation, not accounting for all that is written (effectively adding and taking away...

    Everybody needs to watch this important message.

    Two things: 1) Clinton knows a lot, but he actually, likely knows less than a left-leaning news reporter about what the strategy of the Trump administration is. Meaning, his yesterday-knowledge is not only out of touch, but complete speculation without all the information. And worse. 2)...

    The Bible on remarriage.

    Okay, I went back and read what was said. The problem is, you are assuming the Bible is only a literary account recorded well after the events therein occurred--as merely Moses' words on marriage, rather than God's. As God's Word, when it was recorded or first made public, doesn't matter. The...

    Not peculiar people as such

    No life in this world is the midway. The point I was making was that your barking and contrary chatter is like bringing worthless filler to the table, for which there is no reward coming. You are not helping, but hindering, for which there will be consequences.

    The Bible on remarriage.

    You made/make it sound like you believe there were people or civilizations before Adam and Eve. That is what prompted me to comment. So you are either leaving the wrong impression or you are intentionally making a claim. Please clarify. Do you believe there were people before Adam and Eve?
