See andy, your sectarian teaching looks like the lamb, but it is the voice of the dragon. The church has been subject to that oppressive teaching for too long.
Looks like a lamb - imitates Jesus Christ
Spake as a dragon - change God's word into deception.
You're the one who belongs to a secton eby, I belong to Jesus Christ and what He spoke. I have no other allegiance.
The problem with the NIV is that it was written by unsaved men, who denied the Divinity of Jesus Christ. God wants you to study His word and that includes learning the language of our forefathers. You'll never be able to replace the beauty and the grace of the Elizabethan English with this muffled nonsense that we speak today.
This has to be a joke right?
Amen, God's words are spirit and life.
Love you too, brother
Yeah, you're pretty scared by the Old Testament stuff. Revelation is not the Old Testament.
There is no physical bloodshed in Revelation
You are setting up the ministry of the antichrist. God has given us prophecies so that those who have eyes to see, clearly know the future. You are erasing these prophecies and replacing them with something that no one can interpret. You are paving the way for the DECEPTION in which the antichrist shall come. He will come exactly as you are teaching, no signs of God will be fulfilled, as it is written. But everything will be changed from within! And everyone will be happy, and everyone will rejoice! And he will make a covenant with y'all. And then he will lead you to the guillotine, remove your head, drink your blood and then eat your flesh. And you'll be seriously surprised by it, because you were looking for something else, instead of what the Lord told you to look for.
But don't fret, if you do make it through with your head attached, I will come back with the Lord Jesus and preach to you exactly like I am now. Next time it'll be much easier, because you will already know He is the Lord. And that He is not prestin eby's Lord.
Isaiah 63:3 KJV “I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.”
If the spirit of Jesus Christ is prophecy, why do you keep cutting His prophecies off? The Word, which is holy and true, says blood. So when people see blood, as it is written, they shall know He is the Lord.
And the even deeper relevation to this (and further proof that this is just an angel;)
Revelation 17 KJV 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Here's where the angel comes in, an angel whose job is to minister to the Earth. It isn't Jesus Christ who throws off the harlot and burns her, it's the kings of the Earth, who have been influenced by the angel to see who the harlot really is. Just like believers will minister to and influence the Earth, in eternity, in Jesus Christ name and in God's will.
No, it's not the same. Trying to find the mystery babbling interpretation is leading you away from the deeper relevation. While we may seem to be the same as Jesus Christ, we most certainly will not be made into god's, with the ability to create new life, etc.
At this point of Revelation, Jesus Christ is sitting at the right hand of the Father waiting for all enemies to be put under his feet. The tribulations are trying the Earth with fire, giving one last chance for people to know that He is the Lord, and be saved out of the world. When the Father has decided that He's gotten all the good out, there will be nothing but enemies left. And down will come the Lion from the tribe of Judah, with His sword. Bloodbath.
Pretty simple to understand, if you just take it literally.
There is a backstory to this too, with a believer being made a part of the body of Christ, we receive all His attributes in our glorified bodies. We are liken to an angel and in our glory we shine forth like the sun. Literally. But since you all have tossed this out the window, you completely missed the story that John mistook an angel for the Lord and fell to his knees to worship Him. Because we will look so much like Jesus Christ.
FAIL
Revelation 19 KJV 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Too hard to keep the adulterations straight?
"Their minds just run wild," he said. "No demonic activity, no. We're not sacrificing anybody at altars. We're not burning any incense. We're just in there. Our meetings are basically a business meeting."
Sounds like a wash to me
Yeah, help them to the window and push them out.
We'll be the first to know when they attack us.
Aaand, there it is, here cometh the antichrist, the beast is rising up out of the water, right on cue. God called it again, He's never wrong.
And here I thought rioting wasn't even a crime anymore
So, in order for a dead person to receive prayers, the dead individual has to hear the prayer, possess the power to answer it, and know how to answer it in a way that is best for the individual praying. Only God hears and answers prayer because of His perfect essence and because of what some theologians call His “immanence.” Immanence is the quality of God that causes Him to be directly involved with the affairs of mankind (1 Timothy 6:14-15); this includes answering prayer
Anything to separate you from God, that is the antichrist, brother.
Never mind it was the catholic that killed Joan of Arc, now they pray to her? This doesn't raise any questions with you?
Sorry but the Bible says none of this, when Jesus comes back He will be standing up to His knees in blood, treading out the wine press of God's wrath. His blood atonement of the first Advent is ONLY PAID TO THOSE WHO ACCEPT IT. All those who reject it are dead in sin and God's wrath abideth on them.
What Bible version are you reading?
Matthew 10 KJV 13And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Not when you consider dead people to be no different than wooden idols or graven images. It borders on, if not crossing over into, divination.
Fellowship with the living, I have no problem with.
Yep and we have 1,500 years worth of proof in the Inquisition, the crusades and the general persecution of Bible believing Christians.
Anyone who sits in their pew is complicit.
the beads, which provide an aide-mémoire for a sequence of devotional prayers, are a widely recognized symbol of Catholicism and a source of strength.
You can trace the history of the rosary right back to it's pagan Babylonian roots. Only a
superstitious follower of black magic hocus pocus would even fall for this ridiculous witch doctors bag of tricks.
Bow your knee before the Lord and be saved, heathens.
If you think the church interpretated what I believe or you should really go back and look at my comments and posts. Show me where I ever posted another man's words like you do. I only trust one man and that's Jesus Christ
