    What saves, in my opinion

    Hello, I haven't posted in this subforum yet, but the Holy Spirit gave me the impulse for this post. And I'm now eager to share with you my view on what saves in Christianity, which I came to after a diligent search that lasted several years. Please share what you think. As a spoiler, there is...

    Mark of the Beast

    I believe that's correct. When we become christians, our bodies (and souls), receive the mark of the Spirit of faith that fills us -- the seal of God on spoken of in Ephesians, the Spirit itself being that seal. The flesh is weak but the spirit is willing -- this verse hints to us where the...

    Is the TDOV the possible abomination of desolation standing in place of Easter?

    Thank you for sharing this good visual aid. I want to just make a comment though on what you said about that you think that the image of the beast will be a statue. I personally disagree with it -- I believe the image is a human being. My reasoning is as follows. As we read in Revelation 17...

    Is the TDOV the possible abomination of desolation standing in place of Easter?

    That's good, thanks for making this clear to me.

    Is the TDOV the possible abomination of desolation standing in place of Easter?

    I see what you mean. Didn't see this at first. But then, does the Bible mention how long will the abomination remain where it is set up? If not, then perhaps the hypothesis isn't fully refuted by the fact that the Easter Sunday varies in what date it falls on.

    My view on end-time prophecy symbols and Christian salvation in light of the book of Revelation

    Well, I think I would agree. Christ needs to give it to you first. For example, I was trying to piece all the symbols together by drawing line connections on an e-tablet. But what served as the breaking point was when I fell down on my knees and cried out with all my being, asking that He lets...

    Is the TDOV the possible abomination of desolation standing in place of Easter?

    Yes, I'm aware of that opinion. But I believe Bible is fractal-like. Mathematical fractals are a function, where if you keep zooming into one point on the visualization of it, you see the same picture as you saw earlier -- and on and on like that, into infinity. And in the Old Testament we see...

    Is the TDOV the possible abomination of desolation standing in place of Easter?

    But what about these verses: "For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant. And arms shall stand on...

    Is the TDOV the possible abomination of desolation standing in place of Easter?

    I just read the news and it occurred to me that the following might be the case in light of the prophecy of Daniel about the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place and what follows it. It's written that there will be about 3.5 years after the sacrifices are abolished that the...

    My view on end-time prophecy symbols and Christian salvation in light of the book of Revelation

    I agree. But the power of the rituals is real, if the priest has power of God in truth. And if you ask me, I personally believe that there is God's power even in the Catholic church, though I do not agree with its teaching about works or the filioque. I believe Catholic church is one of the...

    My view on end-time prophecy symbols and Christian salvation in light of the book of Revelation

    You may be right. Thank you for letting me be aware of these details. I have not noticed these things. But the main point was that those that die in the Lord do not come to the Judgement, but only those, who have died without the Spirit. And actually according to Young's Literal Translation the...

    My view on end-time prophecy symbols and Christian salvation in light of the book of Revelation

    I agree. And I agree with the common idea that the Bible has all the keys to unlock itself. The symbols of Revelation all can be unlocked using the words of Christ and those of the Apostles, and parts of the Old Testament. One just need to "run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased".

    My view on end-time prophecy symbols and Christian salvation in light of the book of Revelation

    It's fine, no offence taken. But I would personally disagree. I mean it is written about Christ that "All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them". I do understand though that you bear a more literal approach to interpreting the...

    My view on end-time prophecy symbols and Christian salvation in light of the book of Revelation

    To be honest I think that the Enlightment actually came when the world was relieved after the dark ages have subsided, which was filled with inquisitions and other horrible things being committed by the western church against those it viewed as apostates or enemies, including a failed excursion...

    My view on end-time prophecy symbols and Christian salvation in light of the book of Revelation

    When I said "Orthodox stronghold in the east" I didn't mean eastern Europe. By "east" I meant Russia, which lies on Great European Plain only in its western part. Historically Russia had become the successor of the Eastern, Byzantine Christianity, which is the other biggest Christianity that...
