You all back clap DOGE for removing help from American poor as well.The destitute and needy are in great abundance in the form of American citizens. But who cares about them? Foreign aid takes priority.
I'm a little late to this discussion. Sorry about that. Happy Advent though!Hello all this is a thread for sharing scriptures on MARK OF THE BEAST.
WHAT IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST CLICK ME?
There is a simple study from God's WORD * DANIEL AND REVELATION and history here beastsmark.com for those who may be interested in the scriptures and some more detail.
God's WORD teaches that GOD'S PEOPLE ARE IN EVERY CHURCH! Theye are all those who BELIEVE and FOLLOW God's WORD as much as God has revealed to them. *JOHN 10:16; ACT 17:30-31.
I would like to discuss the following scriptures here in this OP.
REVELATION 14:6-12
[6], And I saw another angel fly in midheaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people,
[7], Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment has come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
[8], And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
[9], And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
[10], The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out undiluted into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
[11], And the smoke of their torment ascends up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name.
[12], Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

FRIENDLY CHRISTIAN DISCUSSION AND SCRIPTURE ONLY PLEASE.
God bless you as you seek him through his Word.
Open a thread on the Prophet and I'll jump in. This one is about apostlesOk, if you can name at least one prophet today who has prophesied with no error then I will consider your view.
You bet I have met several of them personally.Same for an apostle, anyone who has been given a specific mandate directly from Jesus Christ of Nazareth Himself.
Thanks for sharing!
I just showed you.How are you arriving at trump being Jewish?
So that's it? Conservatives are going to justify Trump's invasion of Venezuela by painting it as a holy war?Not conquer... liberate![]()
Right. You wouldn't want to impose your gendered behavioral standards incorrectly.I think it can be both. I still don't see how it shows the difference between gender and sex.
Sure, but the words mean the same thing. Gender and fashion is the same thing as sex and fashion. Thats why gender means sex and sex means gender.
See above.
Thats because sex and gender are the same thing. After all the observations you determine quickly that the person is a male or female. When you determine they are a male you have determine ed their sex AND gender at the same time.
One way or another, Donnie intends to get those mythical sub-two-dollar gas prices he's already bragged about.Of course, invading Venezuela is about oil, not drugs. Drugs are just a pretext.

Republican says US "about to go in" to Venezuela, with oil a key reason
Representative Maria Salazar, a Florida Republican, says that regime change in Venezuela would result in a "field day" for US oil companies.www.newsweek.com
All knowledge is acquired in that way. Science acquires knowledge through observation and experiment with nature. Craftsmen acquire their skills by trial and error, working directly with the natural materials. They all actually experience what they discover and utilize.As I said earlier I don;t think the ancients knowledge was like academic scholarship knowledge. Or Enlightened knowledge. It was more direct experiential. They lived closer and in harmony with nature and reality. So they actually experienced what they discovered and then utilised.
Most of what you have quoted is true of believers, but not true concerning all Jesus atoned for, since he atoned for everyone, not just believers.For all those Christ died His death exclusively for them acquired:
Deliverance from the wrath to come 1 Thess 1:10
10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
For He was raised for our Justification Rom 4:25
25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
So again, those for whom offences He was delivered for, they the same consequently were delivered from the wrath to come!
Obviously that's not true - it is often sexism.Any behaviour we don’t like is secretly racism.
If you say so then it must be so.The left never shuts up about racism. We don’t need to “stimulate conversation”.
Those who commit crimes get expedited deportation. If you're not familiar with the DACA then you're just speaking from ignorance.No we don't. If you are illegal and a good guy you are still subject to the same deportation law as an illegal tgat is a bad guy.
Why shouldn't you be?
On a flat earth, there should be no such thing as a horizon.No, but it has every to to do with the horizon (horizontal) which has to with refraction's which has been debunked.
America is dependent on having a underclass and drugs are an effective way of maintaining one. Why stop it if it benefits those at the top?Maybe doctors hooking people on opiates have something to do with that. Maybe an invasion of a middle eastern, opiate producing country has something to do with that too.
Welcome!Hello! My name is Emily. I am twenty years old and I'm new the forum!
My life thus far has been defined by isolation, rejection, and mental suffering. I never felt like I could connect with anyone, and I saw how many others in the world were suffering too. It destroyed my trust in God for years and I stopped calling myself a Christian. One night when I was seventeen, I wanted to take my own life, but I had the urge to pray for the first time in years. Then the Holy Spirit told me to read my untouched New Testament. That's where my story began - at what seemed like the end.
Right now, I'm enduring another period of complete isolation and even heartbreak, but I am also more strengthened than ever in Christ. Although I'm very shy, I am also glad to be on this forum among fellow believers.Thank you for having me!
Ok, if you can name at least one prophet today who has prophesied with no error then I will consider your view. Same for an apostle, anyone who has been given a specific mandate directly from Jesus Christ of Nazareth Himself.Correct - he never said it would end.
Still are (everyone of them)
That is where we differ I don't believe the 'first dew are no longer in service".
Correct - and each are still needed today.
Actually you got me thinking in how you said we use to seperate politics and religion from work. That was a no no becuase work was work. Keep your mind on the job and the work team are united to get the job done.
Then as you say social media came along and now everything in online and people can search and find bad stuff from years ago and shame others or get them fired if they don't like them and what they stand for.
Not because they did something wrong. But because some words or an image from years ago which was ok to do then. Is dragged back up and given new lease of life with a new spin and narrative around it to then use as a weapon against someone they don't like.
Media and social media has become a very powerful tool and because its so subjective and performative it can fool people. In some ways reality has become performative. What we see, how its narrated and framed and the meanings created that are powerful enough to change reality. To change laws, cancel and destroy people.
But thankfully and hopefully people are beginning to wake up. This whole media world has been going for some time now. So we have enough references to call on to now expose the unrealities and fake news. We are starting to see this as well and this is exposing the lies and in fact it is those who had the agendas and pushed the falsehoods who are now the ones being shamed and losing jobs ect.
This also applies to how we understand "whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments..." as it applies to the context of the law and the prophets, not a unique subset. So how we understand us not breaking circumcision or not breaking the sacrifice can be applied to the entire law rather than a segregated portion of it, which is never taught.
By also using "the least" reference, Christ is also levelling our qualitative judgments of law and instead he says breaking any of them is the same as breaking all of them or the same as breaking unique subset that we deem as better or arbitrarily call moral over the rest. So whatever we remove from the equation, Christ is pulling it back in saying they are all treated qualitatively the same regardless of our superficial labels we may give them (sacrafical, ceremonial, moral, etc...). He is not dividing law, he is ensuring they are viewed as a whole, rejecting any idea we may have to separate them.
It's unfortunate the government of Venezuela won't stop the trafficking.
Ok, do you really want to stay this ignorant of God's word? These are letters to Timothy, written by Paul. Timothy was in Esphesus at the time and these letters are doctrinal letters to him about the churches that were being set up.Why don't you ever consider the surrounding context of the verses you try to weaponize. If you cared to study the text you would find that the verses were spoken to the Jews who believed that the Messiah only came to save the Jews
If you cared to study the text you would find that the verses were spoken to the Jews
Good luck with your Jewish president. He said you won’t have to vote after this term. Amazing.Pity.
I am not promoting AI, it was the first time I used it, when when I asked about the weekly Sabbath compared to the annual feasts day sabbaths and was surprised it came up what I have been studying for years in my Bible. The only way to use AI in my opinion, if using for Bible, is to say go by Bible only. I always prefer prayerful study, nothing can replace it.
