Clearly you don't understand the symbolism of Revelation, and will take symbols to mean literal things. The 144k will all have literal inscriptions on their foreheads? Common buddy, be intelligent.

All this is mindless chatter. You didn't even answer the question.

And that's because not always does the holy spirit strike everyone dead that commits a sin near him. Clearly, even when Simon the sorcerer offered the apostles money to try to receive the holy spirit, yet the holy spirit in each of the apostles did not strike him dead even though he was clearly...

As opposed to the 144,000, the great multitude does not have the seal of God, which is the holy spirit, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. (2 Corinthians 1:22 [NIV]) And whoever does not have this seal, which is the...

The antichrist is not one man, but is indeed a seat of authority occupied by one man. This seat of authority is that of the Roman emperors, which then became the Roman papacy, and this seat of the antichrist, has lived on from the times of the destruction of Jerusalem and will continue until the...

You haven't thought this through. If Jesus Christ did indeed go to Paradise that same day he died, to supposedly be with one of the thieves, then why is it said he was in Sheol, which is also said to be in center of the earth (not a great place for "Paradise" I might add) for 3 days and 3...

The beast of Revelation is a kingdom. Therefore, if the beast is a kingdom, it stands to reason that the image of the beast is also a kingdom, a lesser kingdom that images the greater kingdom represented by the beast. If a country adopts the same democratic form of government that the Roman...

A beast is not a man, it is a kingdom. Read Daniel. Read about the 4 beasts. They are all kingdoms that existed. Beast = kingdom. Beast != one man. Comprende?

Did it not occur to you that this passage is meant to be hidden and only be perceived by the wise? So obviously 666 will have an interpretation that can only be found by someone who knows other scriptures. Otherwise Revelation would've been given to us plainly and not in symbols.

Because it came forth from the first beast that sits upon many waters (peoples and languages), obviously.

Is there anyone coherent here? Geez. Saddens me.

Revelation applies to both the first century and the 21st century. Revelation speaks of the second coming, and that has not yet happened. Duh.

You would be dead if you committed a sin against the spirit. The holy spirit kills when he is offended, and you can see an example of the indignation of the spirit and his intolerance for sin in these passages, "See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you...

No English translation is without errors, so you will find that I use various translations, and will use the one that I think rendered a particular verse closest to the original meaning, and sometimes the NIV is good, other times it is not. The great multitude coming from the great tribulation...

Grace is better translated as favor. If you see two strangers walking on the street, and you out of the blue decide to gift one of them $500, you have shown him favor. There was nothing that man did to gain your favor, you simply chose to give him a gift out of your own good will. That is how...

God causes it to rain, that's why he also knows if it will rain. Without God, there would not only be no existence of anything, but also no continual movement of matter either. Nothing occurs independently of God, such as rain, sunshine, or even the smallest movement of speck of dust. Just like...

:wacko:

As opposed to the man who cannot admit that God hates Satan, which would thus prove that God does indeed hate beings in his own creation that he himself created? Common people.

So we'll just presume that you love Satan then, since as you say, we must love everyone. And here I thought wisdom came with old age. Tisk tisk tisk.

What do you suppose was Paul's weakness? Sin? Yet he called himself blameless in accordance with the law, even before receiving the holy spirit, as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. (Philippians 3:6 [ESV]) Or was his weakness this..... Five...
