Yes, like those commands, they who give up everything they have to go and follow Christ who become His disciples will do. I know many here claim themselves disciples of Christ, but I know that I do not meet the criteria. How about you Sketch, are you a disciple of Christ?

You are correct in putting different scriptures on the outcome of the Antichrist together. We cannot cherry pick one scripture and deny another. In addition to the scriptures you mention there is also the final outcome where everyone who is not with God, will be in the outer darkness, where...

Hello star, I agree with you that one does not automatically become naturally doing God's commadments, upon accepting Christ as our Savior. I today do not come naturally doing all of God's commandments. The reason for this I recognize being my little faith in Christs Way. If I fully believed in...

You're exactly right. The angel informs Daniel in 12:4 and 12:9 that the information related to him in Daniel 11 and 12 was meant for the end times, at which time knowledge of what was related to him would then increase and become known. These data were not recognized in 18th, or 19th, or even...

As the book of Revelation was written circa 95 AD, those of you who then say the number of the beast represents Nero who died in 68 AD; would mean Revelation chapter 13 is a historical recount of events circa some 30 years earlier, and not a book of prophesy. However, as the Lord in Revelation...

Currently, we're all slaves to the system of man, which is of Satan. There will, however, come a time after the tribulation period in which the travailing woman brings forth (Micah 5:3), when the children of God shall no longer travail for man (Micah 5:7). Micah 5:3 Therefore will he give them...

Angels provide illumination and guidance. The Lords angels direct us toward the light and what is correct, while the devils angels provide us false illumination toward a wrong path, while portraying themselves as true illumination (2 Cor 11:14). As such, I believe the Lords angel in some manner...

Interesting. If Hamilton's body were exumed, a DNA test would readily verify or deny his being mulatto.

Yes Sketch, God's grace, His mercy towards us is the gift of God toward us who believe in Christ. To believe in Christ is to believe in Christs Way of love, truth, justice, humility, and more. If you believe in Christ and His Way, you will then love Christ, and naturally do His commands.

I like the way you reason. We are saved by grace, which is Gods mercy on us who through our faith (believing in Christs Way of love, truth, justice, humility) are ultimately saved, overcoming the world and its passions. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of...

I'm of the opinion that God's grace towards us is His having mercy on us, when we believe on Christ and the Way. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

1 Samuel 15:11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the Lord all night. We all have influence from both our good angels, and from our bad angels. It grieved...

If it is from your heart in truth, then by all means praise the Lord.

In my opinion Isaiah 28:11-13 is in regards to the Jews in Israel during the end times who refuse to hear, and instead prefer to believe in works of the law, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little.

If someone repents, it's because they find that thing they are repenting of repulsive. Why would someone on judgment day find what they have they have loved repulsive?

If less than 9% have no biblical world view, they then probably don't read the bible. And if they don't read the bible, they then probably have no root in the Word. And if they have no root in the Word, they then probably will be among those that when bad things start to happen, will fall away...

The Middle East, including Israel have also been experiencing drought conditions for several years now. It's what precipitated the current civil war in Syria.

I totally agree, the reference to the whole world in Revelation 12:9 includes you, me, and everyone who are currently deceived by Satan. Example: Here on this forum many believe their views on scriptures are the right ones, provided to them by the Holy Spirit. The problem with this, however, is...

When the Lord rebuked Peter, He was aware that the spirit of Satan inside Peter was deceiving him into saying what he was saying. Even later we see Peter deceived by Satan, with Paul admonishing him on his double standard between Jews and non Jews. We are all currently deceived by Satan...
