For the sake of context I'll post a few teachings from Jesus which I feel relate to the point I'm trying to make... In heaven, the "servant class" is the BEST class, BECAUSE they serve. Yahu said: I don't think so. If we are made in the image of God, then it is reasonable that God wants...

The OP talked about "low level jobs" in Heaven, like "door men" etc... But, I think the question is a bit biased to start with. Why is being a door man a "low level" job? What about toilet cleaners? Try to imagine what it'd be like if no one cleaned any toilets, and then ask yourself if you...

Oh! Another candle! ^.^ How is one "obedient to grace"?

Nice posts, breeze and eagleswings. This thread is meant to be about the Mark of the Beast. If people want to talk about Sunday workship in that context, I think it's fine, but it's really not meant to be a thread about Sunday worship vs Saturday worship. I think this line from eagleswings...

Good initiative. I also don't have a device to view it properly (yet), but I do have a suggestion on content. The quotes thing is a good idea. Perhaps you can make something specific to the teachings of Jesus, and in particular, sub-divisions like "parables", "commands", and "general...

Jesus talked about the "least" in the KoH needing to be greater than John the Baptist. I have a feeling that our ideas of rewards and punishments will probably be very different to God's ideas of rewards and punishments. A friend of mine had a dream a few years back, of a huge banquet hall...

I think it's important to be able to get a balance. There are some laws of the land which are worth obeying, like stopping for traffic lights or not littering. Then there are some laws worth disobeying, like going to war or stop preaching. I think it's something similar with OT laws. Some of...

Jesus said, "come to me all you who are weary, and I will give you rest (sabbath)". We don't come to Jesus one day a week. We come to him every day. The issue about Sunday worship being the Mark really does not address what the prophecy says about the Mark being used to control buying and...

From wiki... Here is the "modern day" equivalent of a corner stone: Why is it important to use a right angle tool as a guide when building? To "determine the position of the entire structure". Really, why would anyone feel a need to argue that a corner stone is not a tool? Is it just a...

Ahh, very good answer. Thanks for clarifying that, pte. ^.^

I disagree

Lol, of course, everyone knows you don't use tools to build straight walls... Huh, there's always something argue about...pffft

I appreciated reading Bryan's comments on this issue as I thought he gave some good advice. However, regarding promises, I'm fairly sure Jesus (and at least one other contributor to the books of the Bible) warned against making promises altogether. It's better to let our yes be yes and our no...

This is what another poster said about the Mark: and pteriax responded: I challened that by suggesting that there is nothing in Prophecy which suggests that people will be beheaded for not taking the Mark, because there is no need for such a controversial law, nor does it fit with the...

There is nothing in the prophecy which says people will be beheaded for NOT taking the Mark. If it represents buying/selling there is no need to threaten people in to taking it. Their own stomachs will cause them to take it. Their desire to pay the bills, feed their families, go to work, etc...
