    Mark of the Beast and salvation

    I get what you are saying, however, you are making a host of assumptions there. I had already agreed with you that Christians have found rest in Christ, do why do you assume I haven't? Secondly, I agree that God doesn't need to rest. Therefore the designation at creation that the 7th day was too...

    Who is the Antichrist? Let's Put a Name on Him.

    I won't name the Antichrist... Again... But I will bring to everyone's attention that scripture reveals one extremely important characteristic of the Antichrist... He's a counterfeit Christ. Take careful note of the following. The sea-beast or antichrist. Comes from water to begin activity...

    Mark of the Beast and salvation

    Okay, this is probably a conversation for another time and place, although I guess it was inevitable it would come. All I'll say at this point is A. I agree that all in Christ are, or at should be, at rest in Him. B. Being at rest in Him spiritually however, doesn't answer the mental assent...

    Mark of the Beast and salvation

    Oh, and add to that the fact that the WEF, who is currently seeking to implement a globalist cashless society, is in full agreement with the beast regarding is socialist fascist agenda. The beast's agents are in charge of world finance so there's no restrictions to implementing financial...

    Mark of the Beast and salvation

    Do you remember the adage, those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it? There have been several times in history, going back many centuries to more modern times, when the beast power used government sanctions against those who refused to honor Sunday, and imposed the death...

    Mark of the Beast and salvation

    Here's a scenario... The global Babylonian apostate church, in union with all world governments, establishes a doctrine in harmony with what they espouse as being for "the common good". This doctrine is an essential belief of the vast majority of members of this church, and due to public...

    Mark of the Beast and salvation

    For willful, use the word arrogant, proud, obstinate, presumptuous, rebellious. Willful isn't a result of temptation or deception, but particularly this applies to the mark of the beast because at that time, everyone on the planet will know absolutely that accepting the mark is beyond any doubt...

    Mark of the Beast and salvation

    In answer to your question above, the answer is yes. In the 6th or 7th century, there appeared in Rome a document called "The Donation of Constantine'. This document was purported to be sure evidence that have the Papacy carte blanche in taking over lands and property formerly under Roman...

    Mark of the Beast and salvation

    Mmm. A global acceptance of the beast/Antichrist being validated as the true church.

    Mark of the Beast and salvation

    I agree. But we need to acknowledge that the beast whose mark we are discussing, is an earthbound system. It isn't Satan himself, for deeper studies reveals the Antichrist as a counterfeit system to Christ. And receiving a literal mark on ones forehead or hand is no more egregious than a tattoo...

    An Omniscient God Negates Free Will

    You cannot use human logic to find out God. And you haven't really offered an answer to the premise in the post you quoted. Your first premise, that God's foreknowledge influences your decision making, is unproven. Just because God is omniscient, does not mean He removes your choices. Just...

    Mark of the Beast and salvation

    How does one receive the seal of God? If you have the seal of God, you won't be able to buy and sell either, and the seal of God is not a literal mark. Of you have the seal of God in your forehead, there will be no room for the mark of the beast for your character and lifestyle will refuse it...

    Mark of the Beast and salvation

    The mark of the beast entails a choice as to who you serve. You may believe in God, but you choose, whether for convenience or deceived conviction, that the beast has final authority over your life therefore you tender to the beast your allegiance by accepting that which the beast himself has...

    An Omniscient God Negates Free Will

    Ultimately you are blaming God for your wrong choices, even when those choices result in much hurt to both you and God. So God's foreknowledge locks in those choices for evil that you make, even though God warns you to take the other options? Seems to me you have a skewed apprehension of who God...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Appreciate your understanding. Thank you. I can be blunt at times and come across as belligerent and impatient and lacking in sympathy, yet as you say, face to face I am a cuddly teddy bear.

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    That's a great question, and one I've mulled over often. I see Israel and the church are now one. There is no special agenda for either one, both are now included in God's promises for His kingdom. The gospel to be preached by the church, (Revelation 14:6-12) as present truth for these last...

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Love is the fulfilling of the law. Yes, it goes beyond the decalogue, but doesn't exclude it.

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    Can you give another example on the English language... Or Greek... Whereby,a law met/obeyed/fulfilled means passes away? For example, can i convince the police officer that because I obeyed the speeding laws yesterday, they don't apply to me today?

    “The Law of the Spirit of Life”

    I do not know who you were quoting, but he was lying, in that he said the Christian church had nothing to do with the Sabbath. There is historical record showing churches observing the Sabbath hundreds of years after Christ. Even the council of Laodicea, I think in the 6th century?, condemned...
