1 | "seal of God" | Ex 1:1 | fatherchuck | 13104 | ||
We are the ones who determine our eternal destiny by choosing to receive God's grace through the sacrifice of His Son or By refusing the same. He simply enforces the consequences of our choice.Rev. 14:9-11 is very clear that all who receive the mark are condemned. If that mark is worshipping on sunday then all who worship on sunday are condemned regardless of their belief in Christ? Aren't you adding something to the FINISHED work of Christ by doing this? | ||||||

A belief in Christ and the grace that is provided us is a gift. Romans 5:21 states "might grace reign through righteousness". God's grace is sufficient for us no matter how sinful we are. But when we accept grace, Romans 6:1-2 "Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" vs 4 "we also should walk in newness of life." vs 6 "the body of sin might be destroyed" Gal 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, but Christ liveth in me" Rom 6:7 "For he that is dead is freed from sin." vs 14 "ye are not under the law, but under grace" Being under grace however, we will be in constant obedience to the law (Romans 6:16) which was kept perfectly by Jesus Christ Himself. and He asks us to do the same "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in His love." (John 15:10). "Being made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness" (Rom 6:18) and righteousness unto holiness (vs 19). I do not believe that obedience to the 10 commandments are adding anything to the finished work of Christ. The work of Christ was "to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised" (Luke 4:18-19). Satan is a taskmaster and his methods of bondage are sin, sin and sin. Our only hope of freedom is to fasten ourselves to Christ. Satan's accusation against God has been that God's law cannot be kept. (Can you agree with this statement? Job 1:6-11 is an example) Jesus proved that wrong by living in human form going through all the temptations that we endure and overcoming them and living a life of perfect obedience, obedience unto death. Revealing a love that no man has ever witnessed. This is a love and obedience that death cannot overcome, but fulfill the law of love and liberty (from sin). John 3:16 is a famous verse. However, after that verse it reads something interesting "For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be manifest , that they are wrought in God" (John 3:17-21). This scripture states that upon believing in Jesus Christ, there is a truth to be done and a light that can be revealed in deeds. This, we must accept and make manifest in our deeds as Jesus, the Word, has spoken. This is, in truth, God's grace. |

But if I may point out. All of this is useless if the mark of the beast is worshiping Christ on sunday. For all who receive the mark of the beast are condemned. By your interpretation ones destiny is determined by which day one worships on. So are all christians who worship on sunday and have a saving relationship with Christ then condemned? Again that seems to be adding a requirement to the work of Christ. | ||||||

I don't think the day of worship should be an issue, however, it may become an increasingly more important topic as Christ's 2nd coming draws close. If we love God, we will keep His 10 commandments. Not only will it be something we remember as "tables of stone but in fleshy ables of the heart" (II Cor 3:3) People don't recieve the mark of the beast until Christ's 2nd coming, in turn, one who has a saving relationship with Christ can fall back. This is the freedom of choice that God has provided us. I don't mean to focus on the day of worship so much, but rather the Word of God and how absolute it should be in our lives. |
