Bible Note: Mark, I don't know how you came to your conclusion (if you were quoting from Rev 13:8 or Rev 17:8) as quoted below..... "But then we know our names have been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world." The KJV states Rev 13:8 "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Notice NOT written in the book of life. The "from the foundation of the world" is obviously describing the Lamb. The book of life belongs to the Lamb. So your argument is I see it may need to be reviewed. Even Rev 17:8 states NOT written in the book of life. If these were not your references, please clarify what passages you were using. In Christ, Luke |
