Dave, Paul was talking here about judging himself in a positive light. We are however called to judge ourselves where sin is concerned, and I don't think you do, which is what Jay Ross was referring to. I don't say it judgmentally, but as an observation: You exhibit an almost narcissistic view of yourself sometimes, in that no matter what anyone says to you it is of absolutely no consequence.

Just saying; I sometimes wonder about your psychological makeup myself, so Jay Ross is not the only one who seems to be picking up on this.
We need to follow Paul's example when people judge us. Just brush it off and not take it personally.

I'm only stating a claim with scriptural support that remains in place.

:) You state such claims, with scripture, and then when someone cites other scriptures or questions your interpretations of the scriptures you used, you respond like this, LoL.
David's throne = God's throne. Scripture already provided.

It's rude, Dave. Instead of conversation, it's more like flatly ignoring people, and you do it all the time. I've come to expect it, so it doesn't set me off much any more, but I have to tell you it used to offend me greatly, and I think it has the same effect on pretty much everyone until they get used to it. But regardless of how many people it offends, you never do seem to change the way you do things, which is troublesome.

It's your right. I'm just telling you it's not the kindest way to treat people. It completely devalues and dismisses their input in virtually any conversation.

The difference is, Paul would give a defense for what he believed, and publicly. You evade, side-step, ignore what others ask you, and double-down on your position. It's not conversation. It's dismissal, of everyone's opinion but your own.

Again, let me apologize for all my shortcomings.

Well your apology is certainly accepted. :) You just want to remember that other people have their problems and shortcomings as well. As I recall, I like to came unglued on you before I finally got my temper under control, and I don't like being that kind of person, LoL. Nothing to be proud of when I do that.

The 4th beast is totally supernatural... satan and his angels
How did you arrive at this fanciful interpretation?

There is no 4th beast in Revelation 13. Even if you wish to call the dragon (Satan) a beast, that only makes 3. But the dragon is distinct from the two metaphorical beasts.

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea... (v 1)

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth... (v 11)

In Rev 17;8 it tells us that the Beast, which is also mentioned in Rev 13 and Daniel 7:15FF comes up out of the Bottomless pit. And yes it is the four wicked fallen heavenly hosts, i.e. angels who fell with Satan, spoken of in Daniel 7:1-12. It is there to be discovered if we are willing to look and understand.
