    Will some men have low level jobs in Heaven, like door-keepers ?

    For the sake of context I'll post a few teachings from Jesus which I feel relate to the point I'm trying to make... In heaven, the "servant class" is the BEST class, BECAUSE they serve. Yahu said: I don't think so. If we are made in the image of God, then it is reasonable that God wants...

    Will some men have low level jobs in Heaven, like door-keepers ?

    The OP talked about "low level jobs" in Heaven, like "door men" etc... But, I think the question is a bit biased to start with. Why is being a door man a "low level" job? What about toilet cleaners? Try to imagine what it'd be like if no one cleaned any toilets, and then ask yourself if you...

    Is the RFID Chip the Mark of the Beast?

    Nice posts, breeze and eagleswings. This thread is meant to be about the Mark of the Beast. If people want to talk about Sunday workship in that context, I think it's fine, but it's really not meant to be a thread about Sunday worship vs Saturday worship. I think this line from eagleswings...

    Young programmer trying to use my skills to spread Christ’s message, please help me

    Good initiative. I also don't have a device to view it properly (yet), but I do have a suggestion on content. The quotes thing is a good idea. Perhaps you can make something specific to the teachings of Jesus, and in particular, sub-divisions like "parables", "commands", and "general...

    Will some men have low level jobs in Heaven, like door-keepers ?

    Jesus talked about the "least" in the KoH needing to be greater than John the Baptist. I have a feeling that our ideas of rewards and punishments will probably be very different to God's ideas of rewards and punishments. A friend of mine had a dream a few years back, of a huge banquet hall...

    Does society need to be run by God's law?

    I think it's important to be able to get a balance. There are some laws of the land which are worth obeying, like stopping for traffic lights or not littering. Then there are some laws worth disobeying, like going to war or stop preaching. I think it's something similar with OT laws. Some of...

    Is the RFID Chip the Mark of the Beast?

    Jesus said, "come to me all you who are weary, and I will give you rest (sabbath)". We don't come to Jesus one day a week. We come to him every day. The issue about Sunday worship being the Mark really does not address what the prophecy says about the Mark being used to control buying and...

    Should i start at the New Testament?

    From wiki... Here is the "modern day" equivalent of a corner stone: Why is it important to use a right angle tool as a guide when building? To "determine the position of the entire structure". Really, why would anyone feel a need to argue that a corner stone is not a tool? Is it just a...

    Saying i wont do anything anymore

    I appreciated reading Bryan's comments on this issue as I thought he gave some good advice. However, regarding promises, I'm fairly sure Jesus (and at least one other contributor to the books of the Bible) warned against making promises altogether. It's better to let our yes be yes and our no...

    Is the RFID Chip the Mark of the Beast?

    This is what another poster said about the Mark: and pteriax responded: I challened that by suggesting that there is nothing in Prophecy which suggests that people will be beheaded for not taking the Mark, because there is no need for such a controversial law, nor does it fit with the...

    Is the RFID Chip the Mark of the Beast?

    There is nothing in the prophecy which says people will be beheaded for NOT taking the Mark. If it represents buying/selling there is no need to threaten people in to taking it. Their own stomachs will cause them to take it. Their desire to pay the bills, feed their families, go to work, etc...

    Should i start at the New Testament?

    Jesus talked about his teachings as the "cornerstone". A cornerstone is a tool for measuring 90degree angles, and to build straight walls. Jesus' teachings are the tools we should use to measure everything else, including the OT. In that context, it could be helpful if you started with the...

    Is the RFID Chip the Mark of the Beast?

    The Revelation talks about a Mark which will be used to control buying and selling. If you want to buy or sell then you must accept the Beast's Mark. Most of humanity has become convinced that selling their time for money is the only way to survive in this world. Jesus also talked about this...

    I feel that non-denominational churches are the "true" Christian churches...

    This is quite close to my own understanding, too, that only God really knows the true number of people and their identities, in his kingdom, and the only way for us to also know is to follow the guidelines he gave us. But this presents a problem, because what if we see someone practicing Jesus'...

    I feel that non-denominational churches are the "true" Christian churches...

    Jesus talked bout letting the wheat and the tares grow together. There is good and bad in every group just as there is good and bad in every person. A lot of the dogmas, traditions, and teachings of all these various churches are really just a means of knowing who are the "good" guys and who...

    Is the RFID Chip the Mark of the Beast?

    I don't see any scripture which says that. No, a physical chip does NOT exclude spiritual problems. You mentioned rebellion. I think that IS the point of a physical chip. It is symbolic of spiritual rebellion against the values of Heaven. Jesus talked about a system where people help...
