    Revelation: Technology and the Mark of the Beast

    @friend of Welcome... You started out with a big bang. Actually, you might be up for an award on how many different members post on your first thread...:) I haven't been here long, so I am guessing. Any guesses on how many posters actually watched your video? I find it fascinating that...

    I remember something about Cyprian of Carthage... He first went into hiding... Wasn't he the one who said that those Christians who had bowed to the emperor should be forgiven? That caused a huge problem for many. Their bishop, their spiritual advisor, who had authority over them, was asking...

    This is not about establishing moral doctrine. This is about how a person interprets moral doctrine in order to do that which is right. The question is about what is in your heart. The historical accounts are there for many reasons. One of them is to illustrate the moral doctrine. But you are...

    Nebuchadnesser was not concious of being obedient to God in his siege of Judah. He did it because he thought it would make him even greater. Yet he did do the will of God. The Priests at Nob were already condemned: not for what they had done, but for what Eli allowed his sons to do. And, if...

    Yeah. He judged Babylon alright. Daniel was an eyewitness to that judgment. But I think it was because the Babylonians did not respect God in any way. And when that fool of a king sent for the Holy Vessels to use for his sinful acts, God took action. As for God's will that Israel be taken...

    The Righteous

    I see everything through the prism of Obedience. So, I am going to see righteousness through that prism. Perhaps you see everything through the prism of Righteousness. Then you see Obedience in terms of Righteousness. That could cause me to misinterpret your basic statements. You sound like you...

    The Righteous

    The problem is that @Enoch111 seems to be saying that our actions are never completely righteous until God makes them righteous and @Episkopos is saying that our human righteousness must come before God makes our actions His Righteousness. Abraham's actions before God sent him to Canaan were...

    The Righteous

    I do not understand this. Jesus said, "I am the Truth" so, yes, Truth is alive. But Jesus (God) is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He does not change. What you are saying sounds like you think that "Truth" changes. You can't mean that...so...maybe you mean Obedience. But...Obedience is...

    How I Understand Good and Evil-- Part THREE

    What is Free Will? I had a vision once. In this vision I saw Jesus hanging on the Cross. Beneath the Cross was a man, kneeling in prayer and humility. A golden light flooded the atmosphere like a golden fog. I understood the Love that Christ had for the man. Then I was that man, kneeling...

    How I Understand Good and Evil-- Part TWO

    But if God did not create evil then where did it come from? Think about a beach ball. Unless it is filled with air it cannot fulfill the purpose its creator intended. That’s because it is empty. There is nothing in it. It needs to be connected to an air pump and filled up. Then, full of air, it...

    How I Understand Good and Evil-- Part One

    The discussion on the Christianity Board Forums about The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil and Satan's Ability to Create produced some statements that I thought, if carried to their extreme, would make God the creator of evil. My efforts to clarify this seemed to make matters worse. So I...

    I fell into this because St. Peter and St. Paul both tell us to obey the government. And at that time they were under Roman government. I accidentally found the Scripture about Solomon and Abiathar. That reminded me about the Priests at Nob and the refusal of King Saul's men to kill them...

    @Episkopos I'm not trying to annoy you. I truly do not understand why you were so upset with @Enoch111 about this. So I am asking some simple questions, just for my own personal understanding. Rejoice Always!

    What is a 'robot'?

    :eek::eek::eek: So...Big Brother IS watching Hi Google! :) @GodsGrace Thanks. I was not sure if that is what was going on.

    What is a 'robot'?

    Okay...So...what are Robots doing on this website? Are we being watched by "Big Brother"? :eek: :D More to the point, is a Robot something that would help me use this forum?

    So, you would agree that there is a difference between "Obedience" and "Righteousness"?

    What is a 'robot'?

    The little window says that there are a 10 members, 35 guests and 9 robots. What is a Robot? Also, the little box below offers the option of adding a "tag". Does that mean that if I type "Robot" in the box, there's a way to search for the tag, "Robot"?

    Okay, so, if a Pagan can perform a Righteous Act, can a Pagan do the works of the Kingdom of Heaven?
