CelestineNelson: you are comfortable...you've not learn't the ways of self denial....anyway i have something for you i saw it online...before you start carrying catholic church on your head....check this
sonmvayina: I have a new angel to the anti christ bruhaha.....i think the anti christ is santa clause...He is the one that has replaced jesus in christmas...
sonofElElyon: Anything done under threat is forced.. it's like saying a rape victim agreed to sex because she did not resist her armed attacker out of fear.. many who take the mark would not wish to take it so they will be forced to take it. That's the truth. Faithful christians would however damn the consequences and refuse to take it while weak christians would.. that is one of the reasons why the Bible says in Revelation that the fearful will have their part in the lake of fire. Anyway, let's leave the issue aside as we both agree that faithful christians will refuse to take the mark though threatened with death. Also, I find it your own private interpretation that the vast majority of those who will rebel against Christ are unbelievers afraid to challenge Christ's millennial reign. The Bible never said so. They will be "deceived" is what the Bible clearly says.. Satan tempts them and they fall.. Hitherto innocent Adam and Eve wanted more than what God offered and so were deceived in Eden.. same would apply to those who Satan will deceive after the millennial reign.. Their own idea of what life on Earth should be would be different from what Christ offers.. that's the crux.. Lastly, it seems you would have me believe that the great apostle Paul was not one of the elect because he clearly stated that it was indeed possible for him to be a cast away! Anyone and everyone who thinketh he standeth but doesn't take heed, will fall and be a castaway.. no immunity for some.. I therefore disagree with your interpretation of Matthew 24:24. God bless for sharing your ideas.
p.s. I must however add that God in his sovereign will, will not permit some souls to be lost. Not because they are more faithful than other christians.. God alone knows the reason. That is why God himself will fight some sinners and make their lives a living hell until they give their lives to Christ.. They may end up getting to God's kingdom the "beggar Lazarus style", but God won't allow their souls to be lost.. some may even not bear any real fruits or do anything of note for Christ but God will not let them be lost.. to however say these ones alone are the elect and those who were mightily used, bore fruits and did great exploits for God yet eventually fell and died almost immediately, were never part of the elect just because they were lost is not correct
I agree with you, If the mark of the beast is something that's clear to people, no one will receive it, no one will chose evil for himself/herself.
I believe people will be deceived before taking it.
ibuildstuff: Nothing like that jor, u can't travel to some countries without yellow fever vaccine, same will happen to covid 19 vaccine, it's nothing new. U guys are just delusional.
WoundedLamb: If the mark is not made obvious such that those that accept it know exactly what they are accepting, then it's not allegiance anymore. And any supreme being that punishes you for unknowingly accepting a mark you didn't know it's meaning is not God. Y'all should stop this unnecessary use of fear to lure people. The world is scrambling for the vaccine and this is what Africans are discussing.
Malaria is more deadly than Coronavirus. Why are they pushing the drugs to everyone?
franklytrue: This vaccine is not an ordinary one. It is a demonic end time tool. It precedes the mark (microchip). It reconditions the body and alters one's DNA. The person becomes transhuman. Only (saved) humans with normal pure blood go to heaven. It is not revealed that animals from earth go to heaven when they die for they do not, only humans from here go there. If the image of God in you is altered, you are no longer human and can no longer go. This is Satan's plan. He is a great deceiver. We have all been warned: Do not take this vaccine or the microchip that comes after it.
What if the vaccine is forced on people by the military?
donchrisk: but the church will not pass through the tribulations period becouse we will have been raptured before the 7 years tribulation start. Meanwhile I want you to no that the restrainer the bible talks about in 2nd thessalonia will be taken out before the anti Christ is revield . And these restrainer is the church of Christ. Who ever that have not surrender his life to Christ should do that now. We have no more sign left to happen . All that the bible talked about has taken place we are only waiting for the trump to sound we are out of here. Shallom
jesusjnr2020: Fasting Helps To Unlock Your Spiritual Potential To Do Great Works
Luke 3:21-22 (KJV)
Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
Right from the very day Jesus was conceived in His mother's womb, to the day of His baptism, Jesus had the spiritual potential to do great and mighty works, because the Holy Ghost had been upon Him from the onset, and His alighting upon Him after baptism was just a confirmation of that. Luke 1:35, 41.
However it wasn't until He had fasted for forty days and forty nights that His spiritual potential to do those great and mighty works was unlocked.
Luke 4:1-2 (KJV)
"And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered."
Luke 4:13-14 (KJV)
"And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season. And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about."
So Jesus left Galilee with just the potential of the Spirit, but after fasting, He returned in the power of the Spirit, because His spiritual potential had been unlocked. That's the reason His fame spread abroad.
Matthew 4:24-25 (KJV)
And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
Jesus also gave His disciples power to do great and mighty works of God, but there came a point where their limitation to do such extent of works was exposed by a devil which they couldn't cast out.
Mark 9:17-18 (KJV)
And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
But when the same devil was brought to Jesus, He was able to cast it out.
Matthew 17:18 (KJV)
And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
When the disciples asked Jesus why they couldn't cast the devil out just like He did, Jesus said:
"This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting." {Mark 9:29}
So the reason the disciples were unable to cast out the devil as Jesus had done, was because their spiritual potential to do such works had not been unlocked by fasting.
And Jesus who was able to do those kinds of work that cannot be unlocked but by prayer and fasting, showed by His response to the tempter during His temptations, that the main purpose of fasting was to help one to be obedient to God's Word and not to fall into temptations. Therefore the unlocking of someone's potential to do the kind of great works that Jesus did was tied to that of not falling into temptation, hence the great works that Jesus was able to do was after He had overcome the temptations of the devil.
Therefore to do the kind of great works that Jesus did and even greater works as He said, you also need to get to the level of obedience of God's Word that Jesus was.
Hence fasting unlocks your spiritual potential to do the kind of great works which Jesus did, by helping you overcome the kind of temptations Jesus overcame to get you to the level of obedience that Jesus walked.
NewDelhi: It reminds me of someone that was shot from long range with a local gun that uses pellets instead of real bullet. He went to church to give testimony that robbers shot him but the bullet didn't penetrate.
