    Where is "The Beloved City" and "the camp of the saints" of Revelation 20?

    Hello Erik. Much of what of have posted I would agree with, not problem. Nevertheless, Mystery Babylon overall considered is this world system, per many OT scriptures, and that's not a few brother. I think I have started a thread here somewhere on this subject, maybe I can find it later. I've...

    The meaning of 666 and its identity

    The problem with your teaching is this: you are attempting to use extra biblical information to interpret the scriptures ~ that's not how biblical hermeneutics works. See posts #59,60 above. One must compare scriptures with scriptures to get their biblical answers, without which, every man's...

    The meaning of 666 and its identity

    No Hobie, the beast is not limited to the RCC, she is only a part of the religious whore that lives in Mystery Babylon, which is this world~Isaiah 13, and many hundreds of OT scriptures pointing to this world system that is void of the Spirit of God, whom they have rejected in favor of the love...

    The meaning of 666 and its identity

    Hobie, by limiting Revelation 17 to Rome and the pope's ~ you and your SDA friends give a "free pass" to all other false cults who are basically doing the same thing as the whore in Rome are doing. This is a great error with the SDA community along with others who do the same as Rome. Wicked...

    The meaning of 666 and its identity

    Now concerning the mark of the forehead. As for the forehead, it is where the mind is, and is illustrative of man's thinking. By giving us spiritual images of believers with the name of God written in their foreheads, it is revealed their minds are sealed in Christ Jesus so that their thoughts...

    The meaning of 666 and its identity

    (Part one of two) It is truly not that hard to understand if one only look for the answer in the word of God alone. Here is wisdom: That is, a man void of the Spirit of the Living God. The number 666 is easy to understand if we stay with God's word~consider: EVERYONE unknowingly has...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Hobie, I just glanced over that thread, and it had too much dust on thread to post, since it was around five years since anyone posted on it. All I will say concerning your statement is this: The same grace that brought salvation to us, also teaches us. God's grace hath appeared to all men...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    That's a very proud statement from a man of the flesh and blood, as though he is God knowing the hearts of all men. THe very best of God's children have error, even though they may not know it, yet are very conscious of their human fragility of havin g the old man still with them. If you are...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    BB, I made a post to you #849 where you had your chance to speak~first, to correct your post of something I didn't say, yet you attributed to me. Then you went on a rant of speaking against folks who believe in unconditional salvation, by using the word Calvinist, instead of addressing what...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Robert, that's not what it means to be born again~faith is the evidence of the new birth, not the means thereof. Being born again, means that we were dead in trepssses and sins, without spiritual strength: Unable to do one thing to deliver ourselves from the bondage of Satan and sin, God sent...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    I did not say that~Robert did. Read post #838. Yes, Robert does need help, but you would not be the one that he needs, it takes the Spirit of the Living God to open ears, eyes of one's understanding just as the Lord opened Lydia's heart: I'm anything but a universalists, not even close Big...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    He did understand, but is unable to defend his position~inconsistencies is the hallmark of error ~ He has many of them. But he's not alone, his friend Big Boy is right there with him.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Your statement is not biblically what I highlighted above. What Jesus did say was: The difference in your words and Jesu' actual words is the difference between the gospel of free grace and the gospel of works~or, the true gospel of God's grace, verses another gospel~need help in seeing this...

    Where is "The Beloved City" and "the camp of the saints" of Revelation 20?

    Very good~the only exception, and it's minor, is that I would say: This is how spiritual Jerusalem fell who is the religious sector of Mystery, Babylon the Great of Revelation 17.

    Typical questions people ask about the Olivet Discourse.

    Excellent! Impossible to gainsay this blessed truth, impossible. Scriptures indeed interprets scriptures.

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Robert, the last two verses you quoted are absolutely true, every single word, the only problem is your understanding of those two scriptures. First, if it is true that Jesus paid the sin debt for every single person and all arose with him and all ascended into heaven with him, (legally...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Brother, I'm very familiar with both scriptures which were one and same event. What both scriptures give us is the big picture~it is true Satan provoked David to number Israel and it is just as true that God moved David (by not preventing David's sin) ~but in what sense can they both be true...

    CALVINISM: The height of Spiritual depravity

    Robert, you are not making biblically sense. The truth is this: God first must regenerate a sinner who is dead in tresspasses and sin. Once a man is quickened to life, (born again) from that point forward they have the power to believe the gospel with the new man within them, but not until...

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    Predestination has in every way affected my life, as to where I was born, whom my parents were, my intelligent level, my height, who my wife would be, where I would work, my siblings, etc., etc. I believe this so much, that I have a daughter named Destini, which was born before I came to know...
