I agree with all you've said.
I just don't understand why you say that Catholics believe in a different salvation
theology...

Why wouldn't it be a literal book?
God made the universe, the earth and all that's in and on it.
Look at nature, the flowers, animals, the seasons.
And on and on.
He could surely make a book. :)
Why couldn't He have a book?
I know I serve a mighty God.
I believe he heals the sick and sets people free.
So, the "book" might as well be a literal book as far as I'm concerned.
Just make sure your name is in it. :)

Shouldn't you be content that God knows exactly who they are and has identified them as 144,000 from the twelve tribes of Israel? We simply have to believe God's revelation and His foreknowledge of ALL things.

Is Mother Teresa in heaven?
Of course she is.
Not because she helped the poor and all that.
She's in heaven because she loved Jesus Christ and knew He died on the cross for her.
Helping the poor came as a result of that.
Her name is in the Book. :-)

I'm hanging in there!
It must be a pretty big book!
I never even thought about this till I posted about Revelation.
See. This is why I keep away from Revelation...it makes me think too much...
:)
I'm not so sure of that.
The great Dr. Albert Schweitzer was a theologian, Lutheran.
But I doubt very much he ever believed in the same Jesus that you and I believe in.

It takes a "theologian" to mess up the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Oh stop.
You're scaring the natives.
And anyway, I'm not ready for the end.
I still have to read Revelation...!!
It's called the Apocalypse
Whoever came up with Revelation, I think it was Calvin
That makes you a Calvinist
This is plainly nonsensical.
Revelation 12 has nothing to say about Mary one way or another. And here is the reason why that woman cannot symbolize Mary: And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Rev 12:17).
If you claim that this woman is Mary, then "the remnant of her seed" could only be the half-brothers and sisters of Jesus of Nazareth (which the Catholic Church denies regarding their existence).
But since this prophecy is about the Tribulation Period (for a time, times, and half a time = 3 1/2 years) in the future under the reign of the Antichrist and Satan (see Rev 13) it has nothing to do with the offspring of Mary. Rather, this is the believing remnant of Israel before the second coming of Christ, preserved in the wilderness by God.
What bible do you read?
The NASB says Revelation.
I like that better because it reveals hidden things...which I don't really know what they are.
AMEN to that sister! I first and foremost do not do "isms" -
(unless it's Jesus-ism, lol) - but, Calvinism is a lie from the pit of hell IMO. The very doctrine that had me leave the Church back in the late 90's as I truly believed I was kindling for Hell! TULIP means what is says it is-a pretty spring flower. It is an arrogant doctrine, and dangerous..."their" T=total deprivation. Meaning of course, born in Adam. So, if a child were born stillborn, or die at an age where their understanding of even the basics of life itself is non existent or very limited, they have never knowingly sinned but "T" says they are NOT saved and go to Hell...wow.
