:: implying that taking the mark will not damn someone ::
Imposing your suppositions on my words is bad form.
I have made (at last count) 3 studies on portions of Rev 14 (covering the whole).
The Mark is simply the Mark, it is taken or rejected on man’s own volition.
Those that take it, condemn themselves...God does not damn them; God wants all men to be saved.
It is interesting...to me...that you still are not pointing to Christ or the Gospel as the source, only to The Mark is bad juju.
Even here I have pointed back to the Gospel.
It is interesting to me that your entire focus from the beginning of this incident has been to set yourself up as holier than others.
You jump on minor issues that are of no import and try to put others down while ignoring or denying your own errors.
Nobody has said that Christ was not the way, the truth, and the life.
We don’t have to end every statement on every aspect of life or even religion by reminding everyone of Christ and the damnation decreed by GOD for those who take the Mark of the Beast is an important part of the Gospel.
Learn when to quietly drop something even if you can’t bring yourself to admit when you are wrong.
