Have you ever given thought why we call church church. Have we thought why we give church names such a Methodist, Batist. Lutheran and many other names..  We walk ass Christ as in us

On the day Pentecost  there never was a name given by Christ or the apostles .  Read the book of acts and you will find none. The followers of Christ were first called Christians in Antioch  by the people of Antioch who were not even believers at the time. The Bishop of Antioch was Ignatius who  happened to use the word Catholic in a Letter he wrote. It meant Universal church. It was not used as the official name for the believers but a word he chose to use. The Name then caught on was used ever since . 

Today after the reformation different fellowships gave themselves different name which splintered the groups into many different organized orders, Baptist Methodist and so on. That developed different beliefs and doctrines.  Denominational names become as walls that separate us, thus finding the right meeting place is like shopping for shoes. 

It is a misnomer to say I'm going the church on Sunday. As one has already said the church is not a building we go to. No ye not you are the Temple and the spirit of God is in you.

I have looked at it from this viewpoint several times myself.  Then I studied what keeps the Chip alive, since it is a foreign object our body.  The Lithium Battery.   It's the heat of the body and movement that keeps the Battery charged, kind of like a self winding watch.   But then I read from every manufacturer of Lithium Batteries + RFID Chips using Lithium Batteries.   When the Battery becomes Faulty, it explodes.   The minute amount of Lithium is not enough to kill the body, but it will surface to the skin area and resemble a Rash.   And this Rash will be the [[Same]] on all bodies.

 

So let's say the RFID Chip is indirectly not a part of the MOB.   But when the AC takes Control and administers his Mark, technically he causes these Batteries to fail and they all result into the same physical Mark no matter your skin tone.   Yes, that's a wild idea I agree.   But if the world is already using RFID Chips and it's become the way to exist, it can easily be converted into a physical Mark when technology chooses.

 

Why is this possible?

 

From what I know, not a single Follower of God is willing to get Chipped.   That means only non Followers of God are getting Chipped.   So the RFID Chip is already Selecting between Followers of Christ and non Followers.   And when the Batteries Fail, all non Followers would have the Same Mark.

 

I don't know/believe this is what will happen.   But it is food for thought to chew on.

Personally I see the mark as what scripture says it is. Its a mark. Next there has to be the anti Christ that commits the abomination of Desolation saying he is god whereby he demands all to receive his mark!, not a chip. However the chip is a sign of things to come. The Chip is a two edged sword. It makes identification and transaction easier. It also makes control of the population easier.

Too many things haven't lined up yet for this to be a concern.

The way I see it, even if , or when it becomes a concern God has our backs.

When the day comes, there are probably at least a dozen different ways they could do it.

The only "or else" threats so far have been the loss of employment over the vaccine. While this is plenty bad enough, it pales in comparison to what is coming and most of us might not be here when it finally happens. 

Your kids will. I googled that by 2030 chips will be law. They could even put you in detention camps or worse.  

They are saying you won't have to carry your wallet in your pocket. They will plant a device the size of a grain of rice in your hand. This is not a joke. 

When it comes to only using a small portion of our brain I ask the question why? Could it be God did not intend for us to use all of it. The average person is limited in knowledge like how many average people  know everything our computer cand do? A car can go much faster than allowed. There are different levels of intelligence and most of us would not be able to handle it.  

Jesus said and did many amazing things. He told the disciples If you had the faith of a mustered seed you could make a mountain jump into the sea. Do youu think he meant we were meant to make mountains jump in to the sea? I don't think so.

Jesus came to a tree that never bared fruit so he told it to die. When the disciples came back by the tree it was dead. Do you think Jesus wanted us to go around and tell useless trees to die.  I don't think so. 

An easy answer to the eye of the needle is the rich young ruler who was unwilling to give up his wealth and life of ease.

Moses in his human state was given the account of Genesis by God so he had to write the Genisis account with human understanding. Even though God is spirit we are flesh. 

I could not express all the prayers He has answered in over forty plus years. as a born again believer. My answer would have to be is why. i can not tell you how much I have failed living up to my faith and yet he has never abandoned me and never stopped forgiving me. this id a love the defies answers.

answer to third question is everything.

We could say that such sins if not repented of are sins unto death. Many are addicted to other immoral sins such as pornography and child porn. We live in a world that turns its eyes away from the Bible claiming there is no God. This is rampant in todays world. These things must be delt with before God so that He can give strength to turn away from them. You cannot do anything in the flesh and if one becomes prideful he will surely fail.  

I have not considered the tree of life except that it represents eternal life in Gods heavenly kingdom with where sin does not exist or allowed to exist

However, I have had somewhat of a revelation of sorts about the tree of good and evil. We see that this tree represented both good and evil in the same tree. There is no good tree and an evil tree. Up to about a year ago I did not have any knowledge about the conscious mind. However it came to me that God gave us free will to make good and bad choices. The conscious mind is vast and no one can grasp it except I knew that both Good and evil comes from it just as the tree of good and evil. We still see the devastating results of mans error today. It has been with us from the beginning. and that's my two cents.

God is infinite and omnipresent He exists throughout the whole universe and before anything was made. This thought ruins atheists and scientists' mentality.   

It seems silly to try and out guess the man of sin who comes up out of the sea, but the women is described vividly and we should all know the false church is the church of Rome who sleeps with the religious political world.  

It is my strong view that denominations do not define the Lords church. When the church was born on the day of Pentecost no name was given and the church was just believers or followers of Christ. This is the same today. What we see today was the result of the reformation and you have to study church history to see how apostasy cause that.

I'm waiting to see what comes from the Nato Summit which I think is Thursday. Scripture clearly shows that the Antichrist will be a person who after bringing a 7 year peace between Israel and its enemies shall Rise to power. Ten Nations will somehow give their sovereignty to him. At the height of His power mid term of the seven year peace he will commit the abomination of desolation claiming he is god and cause all to take his mark. It says in Rev 13 the false profit will bring this about.

The church saints will be given into his hand for the final 3 and 1/2 years as stated in Daniel 27: 24-25.   

It will be interesting what comes of the summit  This invasion is only  a prep for what is yet to come. Even so come Lord Jesus

it is against the rules to be cruel to anyone....   but we can politely disagree with what they post.  Some doctrines can get them tagged as non conformist theology which would limit where they can post, but that's outside something I could do.   We have a couple of outright atheist's that are very interesting to discuss things with.

They wouldn't be Richard Dawkins and Larence Crouse would they ?

Even as we do as you, those little things that seem to pass, but they do matter, as Paul have said, 

https://biblehub.com/bsb/galatians/5.htm, 9A little leaven works through the whole batch of dough. 10I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

Love, Walter

Thank you Walter

The one who troubles us is belial. We do this when we compromise in the little things that seem innocent. Belial is the Devil or demons. 2Cor 6: 14-17 

I sometimes sit and listen to Christian worship but also thought there are some secular songs I like. Songs that often carry a message so I see no wrong with them.

One day I was singing a love song that I like and was a great hit by Neil Dimond. Of course its a  secular  song. Afterward I decided to read my devotion for the day and it was about God is a love song so at first I thought that gave justification that some secular music is not wrong or evil. After I pulled up Christian worship and searching for the ones I like best, and while I was thumbing the song I was sing in another room came up. It was  out of place. I was in Christian music not to mention it was the song I was singing earlier. This was further justification I thought. Latter while thinking It came to me the message in my lessen God is like a love song was saying God is a love song. It came to me at that moment A little levin the whole lump. It is clear now to me that even the little thing's matter.  Any thoughts   

I would ask when is pointing out sin is the right thing to do.  Still other may have other opinions. Ofcourse this can lead to division. Most of us would remember the consul at Jerusalem When Paul pointed out the error of Peter. I have often and still do believe that believers should not be in politics because they have to uphold immoral laws of the land. However I have an in-  law that goes to church and argues my view. If one wants to serve Babylon don't say he can still serve Christ. We are not at war with one another. 

This subject was posted 20 hrs ago and no comments. Hmm One may judge this a touchy subject.    

I have always thought the man of sin would not be a worker of  evil but a doer of good as one such as promising world peace. He would see himself in this light. Power, popularity and ambition through Satan would influence him. However This man does not have to see himself as being good. A narcissist is centered in self ambition such as what we are seeing now. Power only boasts him. He will not stop.   He could even use the Christian Church to gain more power and influence with the people. The world see's the church through the power of the pope because it dominates the world religiously.

Great thread

There is indeed a war going on and Satan is the very much real ‘General’ of the opposition as James was referred to because the Devil will flee doesn’t necessarily make him weak, But combine  the confusion he creates among even fellow believers to create doctrines of confusion and the absence of teaching from spiritual leaders who embrace the prosperity gospel, to neglect teaching of FEARING THE LORD.. 

Fear the LORD Is taught all through Scripture but when is the last time you heard this taught? 
I only say this as an intro to a video concerning this spiritual warfare by Wesblaze, he has a unique presentation using biblical truth and visual presentations

 

“CALL TO DUTY” | FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT #1. Youtube

 

I think it will indeed show that the fight is real that the devil and his minions are indeed still trying to create a gap between us and our father ( by any means necessary) 

And emphasizes FEAR OF THE LORD being the tip of the spear in our fight

How many have the ery feeling that the devils chief minion is here and hard at work right now. A man who is not moved by any compassion or hear the cry's of his own people. A man who's motivated only by his own ambitions and judgments which are very broad and reaching.

I believe we can pray how we want, as long as its directed in Jesus name. Jesus said if my words remain in you and you remain in me ask whatever you wish, and it shall be given to you. People are forgetting it mainly means praying according to the will of God in Christ. 

Do we know how to decern Gods will. what is Gods will for the present world ?

I will pray that His will may be done. 😊 And I will pray for all who are touched by the war, hoping that more will cry out to Him for salvation, and that I must be of a good courage in the middle of any war. 

 Those who talk foolishly can cause great harm. Pray we are not at the hands of a leader that is not wise with his speech. If we are arrogant we are not good leaders we put many at risk, even those we want to help.

I made this statement in my original post. It appears our president is doing exactly that. He wants to push the imposed sanctions to the breaking point like pushing the lion into the corner. He is also making our European allies very nervous. Back Putan  into that corner he will come out with a nuclear arsenal nobody will want.
