i agree = we must SEE the Whole of Scripture = Matt 4:4This is the reason why the mark of the beast can’t be literal if it was it would violate the promise of salvation to all who call on the name of the Lord. John 3:16 couldn‘t stand if the mark was literal
The whole of scripture is greater than the sum of its individual passages. You can not comprehend the bible as a whole without comprehending its individual passages and you cannot comprehend its individual passages without comprehending the bible as a whole. The individual passages can never be interpreted in a way as to conflict the whole of scripture
The above method is the best way to interpret scripture especially prophecy
i agree = we must SEE the Whole of Scripture = Matt 4:4
The Mark does not interfere with John 3:16
Whoever takes the literal Mark cannot be saved because God said so..................He has yet to change His Mind and His Words on this.
The Scriptures are completely in harmony with Itself.So does John 3:16 have unless you take the mark of the beast at the end of the verse?
Let the scriptures interpret the scriptures as God can’t contradict Himself
The Scriptures are completely in harmony with Itself.
The problem that you created is that you are not SEEING the Whole Picture from Genesis to Revelation.
You are making an assumption that John 3:16 is for everyone whereas the Whole View of Scripture speaks otherwise = most especially the Lord Jesus Christ in His Gospel.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven."
Peace
Again, i am in FULL agreement with you on Salvation = according to "it is written".No John 3:16 is a promise that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life just like the promises in the verses below
Romans 10:13
for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Romans 10:9
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life
1John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Not one of these verses say unless you take the mark of the beast
Lets think about this would the same God who forgave Paul for persecuting the church not forgive a single mother for taking the mark for feeding her kids? We need to realize our heavenly Father’s heart to understand this
I’m not disputing that the ones with the mark won’t repent and will perish I’m disputing what the mark actually is.
You tell me to think but your not thinking yourself scripture can’t contradict itself what did Jesus say that the only unforgivable sin is?Again, i am in FULL agreement with you on Salvation = according to "it is written".
However, if you ignore the Whole Picture of Scripture you will miss "it is written" = No one comes to the Father but thru Me and no one comes to Me unless the Father calls them."
The Mark of the Beast (MoB) absuletly will be a physical Mark = justs as the LORD warns us and commands us not to take it.
There is no need for there to be a spiritual Mark.
WHY? you may ask.....
Now i encourage you to THINK THINK THINK = scripture = ALL of IT
Peace Brother
LOL x100You tell me to think but your not thinking yourself scripture can’t contradict itself what did Jesus say that the only unforgivable sin is?
It’s not a matter of will they repent or not but can they repent or not? If it’s a literal mark then yes according to the promises of salvation in scripture thus the mark can’t be literal or physical.
The mark is a constant rejection of the Holy Spirit just like Jesus taught. It’s a constant unrepentant devotion to the beast (the mark on the forehead) and doing it’s will (the mark on the right hand). Think about it it’s the only answer that doesn’t contradict scripture
Your claim is out in left field!If no one can lose salvation, then no devil nor beast can lose it.
Man has Redemption thru the Blood of Christ.If no one can lose salvation, then no devil nor beast can lose it.
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear.
Yes but which mark for which anti-Christ?
Remember there are eight "anti-Christs".
The point is we need to confess: every time you sin, you receive a spiritual mark of an anti-Christ.
Don't fret, at this, the point is you need to surrender to the Holy Spirit.
Devils and beast are not saved. Belief is not salvation. Believing there is a God does not mean one has salvation and can loose it if they stop believing that God exists.If no one can lose salvation, then no devil nor beast can lose it.

You keep forgetting that the vast majority has rejected John 3:16. That does not mean God failed. It just means God is not going to redeem those who do not want to be redeemed. You take John 3:16 as universalism where all humanity is going to be redeemed, and no one is cast into the LOF. That would contradict Revelation 20:15. John 3:16 does not prevent God from removing one from the Lamb's book of life.So does John 3:16 have unless you take the mark of the beast at the end of the verse?

Once one accepts the mark, God does remove them from the Lamb's book of life. God then marks them as expired, no longer covered by the Atonement Covenant.
Why would you say the mark contradicts John 3:16?Why would you ever think that I think God failed or that John 3:16 means that everybody will be saved? I never said anything like that whoever reject Jesus will be cast into the lake of fire. Please stick to what I say and not what I don' say
