Amen! Took the words right out of my mouth... err, phone.

Skating dangerously close to animism.

Hats off to people who can fast. I can't. Instead of meditating, I just sit around thinking about food.

Of course it should be noted that most people drank wine at that time as water was questionably potable at best. They would, however, typically water down the wine -- the alcohol would kill bacteria in the water while being diluted to where people weren't getting drunk easily.

In John 1 we see the Word is with God and is God - establishing the relationship of the two. Then in v14 we see the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Therefore God = the Word = Jesus. John 1:1-14 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in...

(Removed for ?s of accuracy) John 1:1-14 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of...

Some translations have it as 'on' rather than 'in'. Nonetheless, 'in' in KJV language could refer to a permanent mark in (or on) the skin of the hand or forehead such as a tattoo, brand, etc.

There are those who waaaaay overthink scripture. Sometimes a mark is just a mark, as is the case here. The mark of the Beast will be a physical mark, making it easier to identify Christians for execution (having no mark)

What's unbelievable about the Bible is that more people don't believe it.

-with Adam and Eve -appears to Abraham along with a couple angels; -wrestles Jacob.

Maybe... but only if you completely ignore the 7 Seals, trumpets and bowls; Armageddon; Christ's Millenial kingdom; Satan's final Rebellion; God torching Satan's army outside Jerusalem; and not least of all, Judgment and 'Heaven and Earth fleeing, for no place was found for them'.

The literal Greek translates as 600+60+6.

Find the passage after Rev 3 that even mentions the church. Also, all promises in the letters to the churches apply to all believers.

Revelation is clear on the topic. ALL who receive the mark of the beast are dead men walking. Revelation 14:9-11 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 same shall...

Jesus actually refers to God the Father as His God a few times in scripture. For example, in Revelation 3:2 Christ is admonishing the church in Sardis and says: REV 3:2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of My God...

Utterly wrong. The Preterist view is completely debunked by the book of Revelation. The Tribulation + Christ's return + Christ's millennium rule + Satan's final rebellion did not occur in the thirty-some years between Christ's Ascension and 70 AD.

Rev 14:3 refers to the 144k elected by God during the Tribulation to preach the Gospel during that time. They are a completely separate group from the bride of Christ, which is the Church.

To answer a couple ?s 1) there is no set dates for those celebrations on the modern calendar as the Jewish calendar only has 360 days. 2) Crystals aren't inherently evil. Using them for witchcraft, new ageism, etc is. Some Christian sects likely overstate the issue. 3) Yes, witchcraft and the...

And no artist, no matter how talented, could ever come even remotely close to capturing God's glory.

Then it an insult I'll proudly take.
