I need go no further with your question, for it is based upon a false premise: You cannot show your claim that "The Kingdom of Heaven has been delivered to me."

Many are called but few are chosen. How do you know you are not amongst those reprobated by God? How do you know you really are saved? Was that Jesus or Satan talking? We all fall short of the mark, yet you claim a bullseye.

Is arrogance an endearing trait? Should not a Christian be humble?

Snowey, think for one moment; does your church live up to the highest standards? Was he who instructed you a True Christian(tm) himself or a false one? Did he choose to ignore some of God's advice because it didn't fit with "modern thinking"?

Now, would you like to ask another question?

You should be aware of this if you know the scriptures only half as much as you say you do. So what need of fear have I?

You say "shoo!" Yet the gates of Heaven are open to me. What will you say when you are told to shoo?

You do know not all that call Jesus Lord, and keep the Commandments will enter Heaven. do you need to be taught where it is written? Do you even know why Jesus said that?

It is because without love a person is nothing. You can have all knowledge but without love you are nothing.

Where is the love Ezekiel Bathfire?

That isn't your real name though is it?

Having looked around I'm not so sure this is a Christian forum, but rather one that just blasphemes against God by taking the Micky.

Can you confirm that suspicion?

Re: 666: The number of the beast

[...]I asked about the New Covenant we have in Christ, and you refer to damnation.

I take it you have heard of the outpouriong of the Holy Spirit? That which we have in Christ Jesus? The mystery that was held before the ages?

It has to do with God's great promises for those that belive, not disbelieve

Your sort of false christian are ten for a dime. You seem to think that Salvation is the entire message. What use Salvation without Damnation?

In life, when you buy something - you get the goods and the trader gets the money. If you don't get the goods or the trader does not get the money, the next part of the legal proceedings kicks in - judgment and retribution. That is the whole deal.

Blasphemously, you make the Glory of The Trinity sound like some soup kitchen. God loves everyone, etc., I tell you sir, it is not like that!

Your sniveling liberality will, if heeded, lead to the damnation of thousands.

Shoo!

Re: 666: The number of the beast

Well Ezekiel Bathfire. If you know of The New Covenant that we have in Christ, how is it that you have so gloriosly and with great success on your part managed to quote all of the wrong verses of scripture?

You my friend have much to learn, and God most certainly is not your teacher!

Quite frankly you need to pray for your own salvation!

Re: 666: The number of the beast

[...]
Do you know what The New Covenant in Christ means?

What a stupid question.

As you obviously do not, let me quote the verses you require:

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Matthew 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

M't:10:34: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Lu:19:27: But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

Thus the basic idea is that you believe in Jesus with all your heart and soul or suffer Eternal Damnation, which is in line with M't:5:17.

Only then can Christ come in Glory and fulfill the words of John The Divine:
Re:19:15: And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Re:19:16: And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Re:19:17: And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Re:19:18: That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
Re:19:19: And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Re:19:20: And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Re:19:21: And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Which is what all True Christians want.

I am with the Holy Spirit, not against The Holy Spirit. If you can't see that then you must be blind!

The evidence is against you, sinner.

M'r:7:20: And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
M'r:7:21: For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
M'r:7:22: Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
M'r:7:23: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

Re: 666: The number of the beast

Doesn't the Bible say to love your neighbor?

Yes. Does that mean to lie to him and tell him what he wants to hear? No. It means to tell him the truth, and warn him to flee from the wrath to come...

I'm wandering why you have asked me that. We could even ask would we be loving our neighbour if we were to lie to them. Out lies could cause suffering later on.
Rather than speak of condemnation, wouldn't it be better to speak of salvation? We are in New Testament Times. Jesus did not come to condemn the world but to save the world. We should speak of the promises we have in Christ. To God be the glory.
Do you know what The New Covenant in Christ means?

Oh, and you can remove that unsaved nonsense that is attached under my username. I am with the Holy Spirit, not against The Holy Spirit. If you can't see that then you must be blind!

Re: 666: The number of the beast

Matthew 5:43-45
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

We should all know that hatred is not the way forward. What good is our faith if we are hated for all the wrong reasons? We, who are Christians only have one enemy. We should endevour to win them with love. This is the way Jesus has taught us, for we too were once cut off from God.

Doesn't the Bible say to love your neighbor?

Yes. Does that mean to lie to him and tell him what he wants to hear? No. It means to tell him the truth, and warn him to flee from the wrath to come. As we are commanded in Leviticus 19:17, "Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him." Here, loving your neighbour is defined as rebuking him, and not allowing sin to come upon him. Further, we have never suggested that we don't love our neighbor. The purest, most exalted form of love is to tell people the truth, especially about weighty matters such as life and death, sin, righteousness, judgment to come, Heaven and Hell.


But remember, David said: "Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? Am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them mine enemies." Psalm 139:21, 22. David hated God's enemies with a perfect, spiritual hatred (as opposed to the fickle human emotion of hatred), just as all of God's elect do.

Re: 666: The number of the beast

Where did Jesus say we should love those who hate Him? I must have missed that verse.

Matthew 5:43-45
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

The snake in the iimage. Yes, I have noticed that before now too. Conicidence. I think it being more of a case of God only permitting the antichrist providing enough clues were given. After all, we were warned to start off with.

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

Re: 666: The number of the beast

I would just like to point out that in an old book I have, the following passage is written,

Each letter of the old alphabets has a numerical value. Thus the writer of the Sibyllines points out the Greek name of Jesus--[Greek: Iota-eta-sigma-omicron- upsilon-sigma],--by saying that its whole number is equivalent to eight units, eight tens, and eight hundreds. This is the exact numerical value of the six Greek letters composing the Saviour's name, 10 + 8 + 200 + 70 + 400 + 200=888 precisely. So John here tells us what is the numerical value of the letters in the name of the Beast and in the Hebrew tongue that is 600 + 60 + 6.

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

Re: 666: The number of the beast

Also. Do not condemn the Muslim. Do what Jesus said and love the Muslim!

Do nothing that would incite hatred. If you are going to be hated then let it be because of striding to be Christ like.

Where did Jesus say we should love those who hate Him? I must have missed that verse.

How is it you do not recognise Islam as the Beast and the antichrist, even though the Quran boasts the number 666 on it's cover?

That's an interesting point. I'd not heard of it before.

http://www.beholdthebeast.com/islam__quran_and_666.htm

Below (left) are photos of Greek symbols translated in the Bible as 666, from Free Jesus.net: The gold symbol (bottom and right) is Arabic for "Allah" when turned and mirrored. Additionally, crossed swords are a symbol for Islam. So in 666 we may find symbols for both "Islam" and "Allah".

I'd like to also point out that the symbol (upper right) looks remarkably like a coiled serpent, perhaps a rattlesnake, raised up and ready to strike.

Coincidence? :hmm:

Re: 666: The number of the beast

If you understood then you would know that what I have put is on topic.

A person cannot be both with Christ and against Christ.

How is it you do not recognise Islam as the Beast and the antichrist, even though the Quran boasts the number 666 on it's cover?

How is it that you appear to be seeking more of a war against Christians?

You Christians are all alike. Completely insane, completely intolerant other religions other than your own, and all 100% sure that your particular interpretation of the Bible must be the right one.

You seriously have issues if you believe anything in that nonsensical book of Revelation to be true. How about that everything in that ridiculous book is so vague that people have been interpreting what it means for 2000 years - to mean whatever the hell they want it to mean. Every generation sees the book as talking about contemporary events, and you are no different. Seriously, why don't you concentrate on living your life instead of predicting who the Anti-Christ is, and probably end up being as wrong as every other person who has made that guess.

And I love how you seem to think you are so much more loving and accepting than the Landover folk. "How DARE you make fun of Catholics! That's terrible! Satan isn't a Christian denomination - Satan is everyone else who isn't Christian!!!"
