Have you been marked by the beast ?

[Elderman]

(Revelation 17:8 ) The Bible sheds much light on the meaning of symbolic beasts. Like the lion, a bear, a leopard, and a fearsome beast with big teeth of iron. It tells us that these beasts represent “kings,” or kingdoms, or governments that rule in succession over mankind.

[naomi24]

Elderman, you seem to know all about being marked by the beast. You haven't been bitten by a rabied dog, have you?

[NOX]

Interesting thing about Yeats is Sandy he was a member fo the Golden Dawn and rubbed shoulders and other things with the likes of Aleister Crowley.
Give it up Elderman nobody really cares now who or what you are- you could be Ken Dodd for all I care.

[bibblebub]

our garden's been marked by the local cats - does that count?

[naomi24]

Nox, no, they're definitely not Ken Dodd. Their tickling stick doesn't work. ;o)

[venator]

Elderman - at least you used the words yes and no!

That's a start.

Until you come clean and say what religion, cult, charity etc you subscribe to, anyone who responds to your barrage of stuff is wasting their time.

[naomi24]

venator, we'll never know if he 'comes clean'. Once a liar, and all that. ;o)

[DTCwordfan]

A disgrace to his religion.

Should be excommunicated. Hope his Bishop or whoever is watching. Just hope that he ain't the Archbish/Head Prelate or whatever.

Elderman, very disappointed you have not answered my questions.

If what the Bible says is true, life does have meaning. Our Creator has a loving purpose that extends to all who choose to live in accord with his will. (Ecclesiastes 12:13) That purpose includes the promise of life in a world free of chaos, conflict, and corruption—and even free of death. (Psalm 37:10)
With good reason, millions of people around the world believe that learning about God and obeying him give meaning to life as nothing else can! (John 17:3) Such a belief is not based on mere wishful thinking. The evidence is clear—life was created.

In Hebrew, numbers above ten are a combination of words, such as 12 (two and ten) (Ge 14:4), except that 20 is the plural of ten; 30 a plural word derived from three; 40 a plural word derived from four, and so on. One hundred is a separate word; 200 is the dual form. Other “hundreds” are composed of two words, as, 300. The highest number expressed by one Hebrew word is 20,000, the dual form of 10,000 (myriad). Larger numbers are a combination of words. For example, at 1 Chronicles 5:18 the number 44,760 is, literally, forty and four thousand and seven of hundreds and sixty. A million is written as a thousand thousands. (2Ch 14:9) Rebekah’s family blessed her, saying: “O you, our sister, may you become thousands times ten thousand [literally, thousands of myriads].” (Rebekah’s posterity actually came to number many millions.) (Ge 24:55, 60) In Daniel’s vision God is shown as having “ten thousand times ten thousand [literally, a myriad of myriads]” standing before him.—Da 7:10.

[mccfluff]

what evidence?

[Elderman]

What does the evidence reveal? Does the evidence support the Bible’s description of events, or was Darwin correct? What have discoveries over the past 150 years revealed?

[NOX]

The discoveries over the last 150 years have revealed that Darwin was correct (more or less) and that the Devil did NOT put dinosaur bones in the ground which predate man to fool the gullible- I mean seriously you believe that?

[tonywiltshire]

Elderman, thanks for answer, but.
My bible says "for it is the number of a man;and his number is Six hundred three score and six"
What are we meant to learn from this section of Revelation .

[mccfluff]

no what evidence are you talkign about

[Elderman]

Ok,so in the Christian Greek Scriptures numerals are generally expressed in words. Ok, The number of “the wild beast” is in words ( Re 13:18)

Since the Bible is a book of both history and prophecy, the numbers given therein may be either literal or symbolic. The context usually reveals in which sense a number is used. Certain numbers appear often in the Bible in an illustrative, figurative, or symbolic sense, and in such cases an understanding of their significance is vital to an understanding of the text. However, this Bible usage of numbers should not be confused with numerology, in which occult mysticism is attached to figures, their combinations, and numerical totals. Numerology apparently had its origin in ancient Babylon and, along with other forms of divination, comes under divine condemnation. (De 18:10-12)

[jomifl]

^ Best not mention it lest ye come under condemnation.

[venator]

OK Ellie, you've scored 96 posts on this rubbish - how many brownie points does your nameless cult give for that?

Are there no other sites for you to infest.

You are the pikeys of answerbank

[jomifl]

Pikeys only comes from west country, where be ee at venny?

[venator]

That's what you said before - you're getting boring so everyone will boycott your garbgage in the fulness of time

Nox; “Devil did not put dinosaur bones in the ground”

No, when the dinosaurs had fulfilled their purpose, God ended their life. But the Bible is silent on how he did that or when. We can be sure that dinosaurs were created by God for a purpose, even if we do not fully understand that purpose at this time. They were no mistake, no product of evolution. That they suddenly appear in the fossil record unconnected to any fossil ancestors, and also disappear without leaving connecting fossil links, is evidence against the view that such animals gradually evolved over millions of years of time. Thus, the fossil record does not support the evolution theory. Instead, it harmonizes with the Bible’s view of creative acts of God. (Genesis 1:20-24)
