    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    You and @Enoch111 haven't studied prophecy and history as well as you might like to believe. What you don't understand and haven't seen you shouldn't criticize.

    Poll: Tattoo artist: if a Christian daughter/son of yours worked as one, would you be supportive?

    If I were wanting to destroy the Christian faith and obliterate it's power as a witness, I could think of nothing more effective than to promote tattoos, smoking tobacco and weed, encouraging cosmetics, justifying Christian rock and alcohol. All of which we have seen from the writer of those...

    Poll: Tattoo artist: if a Christian daughter/son of yours worked as one, would you be supportive?

    I can see this fitting right in... KJV Revelation 12:11 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

    If you understood the truth, and the identity of the beast, you would have no issues for the beast itself boasts of it's own mark. And the nature of the mark harmonizes with scripture. Any recognition of Sunday sacredness alone isn't that which brings down God's judgement... it's the acceptance...

    Poll: Tattoo artist: if a Christian daughter/son of yours worked as one, would you be supportive?

    I am reminded of the prophet of God who spoke in power and conviction against the fake altar Of Jereboam. God gave this prophet strict instruction to not stop on the way home. Don't eat, don't drink, don't go home the same way. Until someone else, identifying himself also as a prophet, sidled up...

    It's called the "mark of the beast". No futurist ought to have the temerity to comment on someone's thought process on this topic considering their complete lack of transparency in identifying the beast. How many candidates for the position of Antichrist have futurists offered since Gorbachev...

    One thing to always bear in mind. Whatever the nature of the coming crisis... (KJV Daniel 12:1 1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that...

    So you are adamantly positive and unyielding in your position against me, yet unsure of your own. You are adamant regarding what the mark isn't, yet have no idea as to what it is, nor any idea as to the identity of the beast itself... The Antichrist. Your attitude speaks volumes for prejudice...

    KJV Hebrews 5:9 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. Is the obligation to obedience to God one of the least common topics of conversation in the Christian world?

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    I think the translators were led by the holy Spirit, context, wisdom, and logic when they used 'in'. Tattoos had been used for millennia by entire cultures in loyalty to their false idols. This hasn't changed to this day, in fact entire body ink is more popular than ever and as one watches...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Those that receive the mark cannot receive the seal of God, and vice versa. The seal is the Father's name... Which is Good character. God's commandments are His character... His righteousness... You are sealed in the mind, conscience, by character which is reflected in obedience to God's...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    The text actually says "in the forehead". Not on. What is in the forehead? The conscience. If you conscientiously receive the mark, you are doing so from religious conviction. You are convinced it's the righteous thing to do. The hand in scripture is used metaphorically for work. If you receive...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    And there's the rub. There are only two parties in the world at the second coming. Those who keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus, and those who don't. Those that don't, who worship the beast and it's image, obviously are keeping the commandments of man in accordance to the...

    Of course. But cash won't be available to those who refuse the mark, or they would be able to buy and sell.

    KJV Revelation 15:5-8 5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: 6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. 7 And...

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    You aren't listening. I didn't deny that Ellen White spoke of the New Jerusalem. But I will ask again, and for this you need to study your Bible. Where was the city that Ellen White was referring to? Where was the city when John saw it? It's a seriously important difference, particularly when...

    What y'all haven't accomplished in your attacks against my church is reduced in one iota the real ongoing threat against American republicanism in the religious evangelical right pursuing political power and looking to the state as an ally in establishing righteousness and a Christian ethos in...

    Another question. Do you think Ellen White was so biblically illiterate she didn't notice the difference? Or for that matter, anyone since then?

    Here is why, as an Adventist, I believe America is in Trouble.

    Well, that was a magnificent attempt, and likely either yourself, or those you quoted it from, thought this a coup de gras to the ministry of Ellen White. You should have asked an Adventist, is this true, before using it as a weapon against them. Question. Where was the city that did not have a...
