    Paper Money and Fiat Currency is the Mark of the Beast

    I can understand your objections to fiat currency. I am not in favor of it. Your argument rests on allegoricalizing weight and measures is debatable. Bartering with wheat is not forbidden, but the price of wheat goes up and down. The Torah does not forbid bartering with papyrus, even if the...

    Paper Money and Fiat Currency is the Mark of the Beast

    I've never met you. I only saw your post a few days ago (unless you went by some other moniker elsewhere), and you call us all idiots. Then you admit that you do so because you are 'enraged against you people.' So basically, you are angry at me without a cause and you are calling me, and...

    Paper Money and Fiat Currency is the Mark of the Beast

    I realize there are some issues related to 'forever and ever.' I was using a common translation. You dodged the main issue. Why would God condemn people for using money? You believe that but go around people who do not believe your unsupported theories 'idiots?' Typically, when God...

    Paper Money and Fiat Currency is the Mark of the Beast

    Popular literature maybe? Maybe something that does not contain the actual details from the book of Revelation that do not fit your theory. Do you think the smoke of our torment (yours included) will rise to heaven forever and ever because of using fiat currency? Do you consider yourself...

    Paper Money and Fiat Currency is the Mark of the Beast

    I don't see how your theory equates with being 'intelligent.' Have you actually read the book of Revelation? Revelation 14 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The...

    Paper Money and Fiat Currency is the Mark of the Beast

    I don't like canned spinach. I like spinach, but canned spinach just tastes evil--gooey much that tastes like a can. Should I create a thread on why canned spinach is the mark of the beast? It's nasty stuff, but it doesn't fit the Biblical description of the mark of the beast, so I won't post...

    Paper Money and Fiat Currency is the Mark of the Beast

    The 666 talents of gold were gold and not fiat currency, so yoru theory doesn't fit. But if you ever got paid in fiat currency and received it or paid for the computer you typed this on, would that mean you are eternally damned? How would using money mean that you actually indulged in real...

    Marriage And Loss

    I believe a husband and wife who are in Christ can have fellowship together after the resurrection, and love one another. It's just not marriage. The custom of saying vows to each other is also not in the Bible. That seems to be a Roman ceremony, similar to the pre-Christian Roman pagan...

    Marriage And Loss

    Stan B, Your thinking is very foreign to what I read in the Bible. Man and wife are 'one flesh'. Death and also the transformation that occurs at the resurrection both have an impact on our flesh. Paul says that the woman is not bound by the law of her husband at death. Do men have...

    Marriage And Loss

    Jesus' teaching on no marrying or giving in marriage was spoken during a conversation where the Saducees asked about a woman widowed six times who married seven brothers. The Law required and encouraged those marriages. If marriages were eternal, why would remarriage be allowed? Paul says a...

    More Christian tattoo artists a positive development?

    They let minors get tattoos? That shoudl be illegal. They could make the minimum age be 21. Hopefully kids would have a little more life experience before making the decision.

    Men, Can you Tell If Other Men Are Good-Looking?

    I'd met my wife briefly before, and I'd looked at her later and wondered if the Lord would give me a wife that beautiful. That was a brief meeting. A year later, after we saw each other again, she would later tell me the Lord told her that I was the one she was going to marry-- something along...

    Men, Can you Tell If Other Men Are Good-Looking?

    I remember reading in a psychology book that people tend to pair off with people who are about as equally good-looking. I had no idea if I were good-looking. As a young man in my 20's, i talked to my mom about it. She said I was about as good looking as Courtney Cox on Friends. That was back...

    Poll: Best age for first tattoo?

    Btw, I'm just imagining an idea fora sci-fi movie set in the future where people get moving gifs for tattoos.

    Men, Can you Tell If Other Men Are Good-Looking?

    If a man is especially bad-looking I can tell. If it's the poor guy off of goonies or some monster off of the Lord of the Rings, I can see that. It's just with the normal range to good looking range, I can't tell.

    Men, Can you Tell If Other Men Are Good-Looking?

    That's not my question. I'm just wondering if you can tell if a guy is considered good-looking by looking at him, or if you would have to ask a woman if you wanted to know.

    Men, Can you Tell If Other Men Are Good-Looking?

    I'm not seeing responses to my poll, and I don't know how to fix the error with the wording. Am I the only man here who has little to no perception of whether another man is (supposed to be) good-looking? I do not feel like I am missing much. I know I am not the only one, but I am just...

    Men, Can you Tell If Other Men Are Good-Looking?

    I can tell if I perceive a woman to be good-looking the first time I see her, no matter which way the wind is blowing. I can even perceive this on magazine covers at the grocery store or on TV.
