That's how important examples are. The examples of those pushing this teaching changed minds way better than the best commentaries.

I agree. I believe it's usually the different types of folks on here. Not everyone comes here for a righteous cause. Agreed. I have been humiliated before by someone posting a truth I didn't believe & discovered I was wrong. The didn't mean to humiliate me, but it can be very humbling to find...

I didn't post those things to prove my point. I usually have 2 reasons: 1. To get someone to turn around on their doctrine for their good. 2. To convince others reading not to believe what they stated to keep them from believing their doctrine. I hope for the first, then strive for the second...

The Bible says "Love not the world or the things of the world". Amen. I would also say "Trust not the world or the things of the world". Jer 17:5This is what the LORD says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind And makes flesh his [c]strength, And whose heart turns away from the LORD. 6“For...

1Tim 4:1But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will [a]fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, 3who forbid marriage and advocate...

Salvation is first & foremost. Many people are delivered once they are saved. Whether or not this is a mental or spiritual problem, God is able to deliver. Understand though, if this is a spiritual issue, You will need to pray for your wife & yourself for God's protection. In spiritual...

BTW, has anyone thought of how easy it is for all of our electronic devices to be hacked by AI?

Ai is advancing in leaps. That & understanding that govt. & the military's technology are now 20 years ahead of everyone, it's possible. That said, what troubles me more is the timeline that AI is coming out in. It's now plausible that the image of the beast is/could be AI

Trusting in the Lord IS living by faith. It is not a past feat of faith alone.

Exactly. Rom 11:17But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the [j]rich root of the olive tree, 18do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports...

When the Holy Spirit convicts the heat of sinners black & cold, isn't that the most important sign/miracle of all?

I'd rather have you prove it because you wrote it:)

When the philistines did it, scriptures told the complete story about it. During the Babylonian occupation, absolutely nothing is written. That interpretation would be eisogesis. Something that significant would have been written.

Scripture is interpreted by scripture. Several places in the NT show the church doing greater works, proving Jesus' words to be completely true. Miracles & healings, as well as commands to do so, are all through the NT.

As we see the signs around us today, we behold things we never thought about 40 years ago. Now we see the stage being set with the 1%'ers leading the way, taking over the media, corporations, our govt, etc. It's not a stretch at all if AI becomes the image of the beast, or a chip under our skin...

So, how come God did not judge the Babylonians like He did the Philistines? I don't believe it was taken because there was no such judgment during that time.

This was philip the deacon, the evangelist.
