MOTB by itself does not always = LOF ??

Remember that AI is sycophantic. It tells you what it thinks you want to hear. It congratulates you to make you use it more often and become dependent on it.

a hidden diamond for you my brother in Christ

We know the THREE = FATHER/SON/HOLY SPIRIT

We know the counterfeit = Beast/False Prophet / and.................

Do you believe the mark of God is a literal physical mark?

The Greek word for "mark" in the biblical "mark of the beast" passage (Revelation 13:16) is χάραγμα(charagma), meaning an etched stamp, branded seal, or carved inscription.

Do you believe Jesus rose physically, literally from the grave?

Absolutely I do believe he rose physically and I know the sword in his mouth are the words coming out of His mouth.

Except that is not always the case. For example, I take the thousand years in 2 Peter 3:8 to mean a literal thousand years. And I have arguments for as to why. Except not one AI I have conversed with about this subject agrees with my conclusions, including this same AI here. If you are entirely correct then why is no AI telling me what I want to hear thus agreeing with me? Instead, they argue with me about it and none of them will change their mind no matter what I argue.

I would like to hear your argument on 2 Peter 3:8.
Do you think the cattle on a thousand hills are literal cows on literal hills?

I want to test and see if you are being consistent throughout. The city and temple meant in Revelation 11:1-2. Literal or non literal?

I say it's literal. The true temple is our body, so Rev 11's temple and city have to be literal, referring to earthly Jerusalem—which was destroyed and replaced by the true temple, our bodies, and heavenly Jerusalem. Which is plenty of proof Rev 11 is not talking about something in the future.

1 Timothy 2:1-4

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. 2But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. 3And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

How is heavenly Jerusalem given to the Gentiles to tread under foot for 42 months???

It’s not. I said the temple was the temple in the earthly Jerusalem, the one destroyed in 70 AD.
