So as you reveal a unique and brand new meaning to what teh prophets wrote, you are saying that for the nearly 2 millennia the church has existed, no one was found God could give this secret definition fo the prophecies to?
The meaning of the mark has always been the same, as I showed in my OP by the words of God. But understanding into the many mysteries found in God’s words can only be revealed to men by the Spirit of God.
Those were the parables and not the clear easy to understand words of the prophets.
Sorry but you mismatch verses to defend your own opinion. and He did reveal the mytery-to teh Apostle John.
Look at you and your holier than thou attitude. Unbelievable. No wonder you won't accept that your premillennialist doctrine is false. You are too arrogant to see it. You have been revealed some truths that you foolishly think only you understand. You may have seen that I have agreed with a few things you have said like your understanding of two tribulations in the Olivet Discourse and that the mark of the beast is spiritual and not physical and such. But, you have more to learn and do not have a monopoly on the truth. Your mind has been puffed up by what has been revealed to you when you should be humbled by it instead. You need to humble yourself before you take a major fall.
I don’t follow the doctrines of men, as I was not taught by men, but by Christ. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
Same here. But, somehow you are superior to me despite the FACT that I also don't follow men's doctrines? I reject many of the doctrines that the church I grew up in held to and I've never been to seminary or anything like that.
So, if you would just humble yourself, you will find that Amillennialism is true. Your embarrassing interpretation of John 12:48 where you say that it's talking about the judgment of saints when it's clearly talking about the judgment of those who reject Christ reveals your doctrinal bias in that area. I think you have a very good understanding of things in some other areas, but I can tell you have never studied Revelation 20 in depth before. You didn't even know what Amil was until recently. Why not give it an honest chance before rejecting it?
Yes, that is true. I look at things exactly like you do and I think that's why we do agree on some things that many people disagree with us about, such as our shared understanding of the Olivet Discourse, the mark of the beast and Mystery Babylon. But, we disagree on Revelation 20. Clearly, just studying for ourselves and not going by the doctrines of men alone doesn't guarantee we have the correct belief when it comes to Revelation 20.
I don’t remember saying I was superior to anyone. People get offended if I say I have been taught by Christ via the Holy Spirit. But this IS the way the elect of God are taught.
I agree with that and I believe that about myself as well, and yet we still disagree on some things even though we do agree on things that many disagree with us about (interpretation of the Olivet Discourse, mark of the beast, Mystery Babylon, etc.). So, there is really no need to point out that you are taught by Christ via the Holy Spirit since most of us here believe that about ourselves. To point that out gives the impression that you think you are taught by Christ via the Holy Spirit but everyone else is not. That just comes across as you saying you are superior to everyone whether you realize it or not. It's just unnecessary and not helpful to say that all the time the way you do.
There are alot of people who call themselves Christian’s who believe they have been anointed by the Holy Spirit but they have not. We are told to try the spirits to see if they are of Gods Spirit or not. One way to tell is to see if they agree with and speak the Truth in Christ.
Yes, that's for sure.
So, think about this then. You falsely related the following verse to me at one point:
I agree with this, but do you associate that with someone like me who actually agrees with you on a lot of things but disagrees on a few things related to end times doctrine? It's not as if I'm saying I don't believe in Christ's death and resurrection and don't put my trust in Him as my Lord and Savior, so why are you defining whether someone is a Christian or not in a different way than scripture itself does?
I said that to you because you are not hearing the Truth in what the words of God are saying about the saints of God reigning on earth with Christ for a thousand years.
No it is not today.
Don't apply a verse to me that applies to those whose father is the devil (John 8:44), are "not of God" and are not Christians! You are basically accusing me of not being a Christian just because I disagree with your interpretation of Revelation 20. Are you kidding me? YOU ARE WAY OUT OF LINE!
Matthew 7:1-2 is about condemning people, as you are doing by saying that Amils are not of God. It's not talking about judging in the same context as that verse which has to do with discerning truth and not condemning people to hell. You're not even trying to look at scripture in context. You're interpreting it in a carnal way like "the natural man" does. I know you don't always do that, so why now? You see the word "judge" and think it means the same thing every time. The Bible wasn't written in English. Put forth some effort to see what the Greek words mean and be careful to look at the context.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Matthew 4:4
May God have mercy on your soul for your arrogant holier than thou attitude and for condemning people just for (supposedly) misinterpreting an end times Bible passage.
