NZ is still in lockdown. Masks are mandatory in public. Another Covid death yesterday. Over 700 people contagious in last outbreak.

Respectfully, it depends on what constitutes worship. Worship is attaching and assigning worth, value, and merit to something or someone. Inanimate Idols are not people, and yet they are treated as if they have supernatural powers. Communism is an abstract concept that is worshipped...

Revelation 13 portrays two beasts, one from the sea and one from the earth. No-one will ever literally see them in physical form since their descriptions are metaphorical. The first beast in Revelation 13 is a metaphor intended to mean the very real natural wickedness of man that rises from the...

I think maybe the Lamb uses His mouth to take the scroll, or maybe changes shape into the human form of Jesus whenever necessary. Anyway, the contents of the scroll has been disclosed, which is the whole point of it being opened one seal at a time, and now we know what contributing factors are...

I've never been bound by OT Law.

Yeah, so what, Truth7t7? He's referring to that Wicked/anomos/lawless one/son of perdition who is the ultimate endtimes false prophet depicted metaphorically as the 2nd beast in Revelation 13. From My Notes: BABYLON IS BURDENING THE BEAST From the Sea of Sinful Humanity comes Beast 1: BEAST...

That's not correct. Personal pronouns are used with metaphorical, non-human subjects in numerous Scriptures. Revelation 12 is a prime example, Truth7t7. Rev 12:3-4 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns...

. . . as are many personifications of abstract concepts so on this point your argument fails. Father Time. Mother Earth. The Grim Reaper. Quote from Daemones or Spirit Personifications | Theoi Greek Mythology Daemones (personified spirits) of the human condition and abstract concepts formed a...

Strawman deviation ended.

God is Pneuma in the Greek, which translates as both Ghost and Spirit in English. Joh 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." Strongs G4151 πνεῦμα pneuma pnyoo'-mah From G4154; a current of air, that is, breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or...

To my way of thinking the first horseman symbolises any conquering power in the context of God allowing superior force to run its course. Crowns symbolise sovereign power. Bows symbolise weaponised capabilities. Horses symbolise sustained momentum.

Hi FOTG. Metaphors of Momentum: The thing about horses is their stamina. Those panoramic shots in movies that show horses running and running and running with their hooves thundering in rhythmic audio are indicative of the imagery in the metaphorical four horseman which portray factors that...

I hope you haven't forgotten about the clarity in this sorites* and its final conclusion: Rom 8:27-30 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. (28) And we know that all things work together...

Did someone get the labels mixed up? What brings this up?

Let this be a warning to Gnostics who think that Elijah the man and inhabitant of Tishbeh in Gilead, is Enoch renamed and descended to earth without natural lineage. 1Ki 19:1-4 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword. (2) Then...

The two witnesses are graphically described using: firstly the metaphor of the two olive trees to emphasise their anointing in the Holy Spirit during a time of apostasy. secondly the metaphor of the two candlesticks to emphasise their illumination in the Holy Spirit during a time of spiritual...

It is biblical to be named as a Christian. Fortunately Christ is not interested in our self-assessed worthiness but in our faithfulness. 1Jn 3:20-21 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. (21) Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have...

Well Elijah was taken up in a whirlwind, and the idea that he was Enoch is gnostic nonsense.
