Please accept my apology for the delayed response, I was recently hospitalized with an eye injury and my eyes have been a bit sensitive to light. It seems another poster has kindly responded on my behalf; but as far as a source of information, I can reference “The Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee...

Oh, so we’re making this personal?! I’m promoting nothing in the photo, it’s just a photo. I don’t smoke. As far as lust of the flesh, the same goes for an argumentative attitude. “If you say you’re without sin...” Honestly, I’d rather be in sin than to be a false teacher.

I have the same access to the Spirit of Truth, and He has shown me the Word of God and it is not in agreement to Elliot’s philosophy.

What biblical basis does Elliott have to make these statements? He’s nothing more than a philosopher if he’s not backed by the word of God.

Yes, Revelation does have much symbolism. In fact, to use your example, the term “sea” is said to symbolize people when used in Revelation. So are we to believe a mountain of fire will be thrown into a large group of people? Or do we look at the context... it doesn’t actually say “a burning...

Yes, and my wife ordered one after I mentioned that to her.

There are three different forms of that word: as a verb-“to draw a circle,” in the feminine form- “an instrument to draw a circle, and in the masculine- “sphere.” “Circle” is a general term that could mean any of those three, but only one was written. The intent may not have been to describe...

Perhaps some theorized it in “biblical times,” but not in the Bible, itself. Isaiah 40:22, in the oldest known manuscript, uses a word that literally describes a sphere. English translations use “circle,” which is a word that can have different interpretations. To further the Bible’s teaching of...

As well, I am not the only one who knows it to be a physical mark. Read the commentaries that you offered for me to read, and you’ll see that some even used the same literal translation that I indicted in my previous comment and understand the statement to be literal. Commentaries are fine to...

The Greek word for “mark,“ charagma, means “a stamp, imprint, scratching, etching.” How can this not be literal? I’m just curious as to how you determine it is not physical...

I haven’t actually experimented with the programs, but have made many successful attempts manually many years ago. My first try was the first chapter of Genesis. I chose it because it does not contain the Tetragrammaton, Hebrew name for God, in the readable text, and I was curious to see if...

In addition to the concrete evidence that the Bible refers to the earth as a globe... in the LXX manuscript, which predates the KJV be 1,800 years, the word that the Hebrew scribes used to translate scripture into Greek (for Greek-speaking Jews), was the word gyro, which means, “to turn/spin.”...

The human body is primarily water and carbon, and generally reflects the substances of the earth, as it should. The carbon atom is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons; respectively, in these quantities: 6,6,6. So you, my friend, have the mark of the beast in your body! 666 “is the...

93,000,000 is not the actual distance... that number is rounded up from the average distance. The sun is as close as 91.4 million miles, and as far as 94.5 million miles. The average of those two numbers is 92.95 million. Only twice a year is it 93,000,000 miles from earth- most of the time it...

I do appreciate the kinds words. I agree there is quite a bit of combativeness amongst Christians, to which I have occasionally succumbed as well. The irony of the rarity of humility amid the “humble“ elect reminds me to be vulnerable. “Age is the instructor who quietly teaches us that we...

Ah, I see my error... I mistakenly referenced a phonetic spelling of “seventh,” and not a transliteration of “seven.” In the rush to respond, I neglected to confirm the accuracy of my choice... (Shame on me, that’s poor phonetics.) Thanks for catching that. Aside from that, my point was that...

No, not Strong’s. I actually got that from a Hebrew text.

LOL, thanks... I usually try to keep my responses “shallow,” as I’m not always aware of the level of understanding of those to whom I reply. I’ll certainly view your recommendation.

Actually, Sabbath means to “cease,” or “rest.” It is Shabbat in Hebrew; seven is the Hebrew word shebiy’iy. There’s no relationship between these words found in either etymology or semantics. But, short of following the scriptural guidelines for determining when the Sabbath should be, Saturday...
