how can you be married without knowing the bride groom,spiritually.
to find out if you agree with somebody you have to read what there about.
if Christ was a bully who hurt and oppressed people for fun etc,he might pick you but you might not pick him.
we have a choice,and we need to know who Christ is.i know he is what i seek.we learn who he is by the gospel.
to keep the gospel away from people would be wrong,and i,m sure this excuse has been used to keep the common man from Christ.
tottally disagree with you.
how can you be married without knowing the bride groom,spiritually.
Prov 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but thehonour of kings is to search out a matter.
if God was a heartless judge,with no morals or understanding of anybody.
and wanted you to become the same,and in return offered you eternal life.
would you agree.?
Moderation notice.
I also am rather mystified Cat. Back on topic please.
" Can you cut the mark of the beast off and be saved? "
Thankyou, Lily.
Never be overwhelmed by decisions, just consider the right ones and your options will be far fewer.
he is saying God calls you,but without knowledge of who God is how can you follow the call.?
God must quicken you before you can hear the call; it has nothing to do with the false religious belief of freewill which man does not have, but God's spirit must quicken you first.
Ephesians 2
1And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved![]()
6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Prov 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but thehonour of kings is to search out a matter.
I think the mark of the beast is symbolic. We are not microchipped and not likely to be, people would object too much.
