1 | Point of No Return | Revelation | TerryM | 1725 | ||
There is a belief that there will be a point of no return in the end times. A time when those unbelievers will want to come to God and He will harden His heart. I thought this only referred to those took the mark of the beast. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? |

2 | Point of No Return | Revelation | SSprln | 1726 | ||
"Concerning your second quesiton about the impossibility of being save[d] during the tribulation period if one had heard the gospel before the rapture occurred--I taught this for many years but then discovered some new light on this subject while studying Acts Chapter 2. This chapter covers the tribulation hour and verse 21 dogmatically declares that 'whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved'. The text in II Thessalonians 2:9-12 in context sees the antichrist enthroned. Those who trust him (antichrist) and receive the mark because of the strong delusion permeating the world are the ones who are condemned. See Revelation 14:11. I hope this helps." | ||||||
3 | Mark of the Beast | Revelation | TerryM | 1856 | ||
I always saw receiving the "mark of the beast" as a form of blasphemy. Therefore there can be no forgiveness of this. What are your thoughts on this? Could this be where the belief came from that there will be a time when God's heart is hardened? Can someone receive the mark and still be saved? | ||||||
4 | Mark of the Beast | Revelation | kalos | 1867 | ||
If I may I would like to respond to one part of your question. You asked, in part, "Could this be where the belief came from that there will be a time when God's heart is hardened?" . . . It would seem that the belief that there will be a time when God's heart is hardened came originally from Gen. 6:3, Genesis having been written some 1500 years before Revelation. . . . Gen 6:3 (ASV) "And Jehovah said, My spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years." |

5 | God's spirt | Revelation | TerryM | 1908 | ||
I understood this to be referring to man's mortality. That his days are numbered at 120 years. I don't this is a reference to God hardening His heart when men seek Him. God's spirit does not dwell with the dead. | ||||||
6 | God's spirt | Revelation | kalos | 1924 | ||
I think you are 100 percent correct. I should have clarified my answer. What I meant, but didn't make clear, is that many people cite the reference in Genesis to prove that at some point in the life of an individual, God will stop dealing with that person for salvation. But, clearly, that is not the meaning of the verse in Genesis, when one reads the entire verse. I understand the verse in Gen. to mean exactly what you said it means. Thanks for rightly dividing the word of truth. | ||||||
