[John 6.66=Mark of the Beast?]

What about those who do not know Christ and have more charitable nature about them and are honest who would do no harm to anyone who truly help their neighbors and such? There are many in this world who have a better testimony without Christ in their lives than many of the Christians that I have met.

Your comments please.

My comment is that God knows the heart, and that there are hidden things in these lives that we don’t see.

Hollyweird is chock full of charitable people.

“There are many in this world who have a better testimony without Christ in their lives than many of the Christians that I have met.”

Of course that is an observation from your own human perspective. God sees each of us with a much clearer view - into our very heart. What often appears foolishness to man is of utmost importance to God.

If Christ’s blood has not been spilled out on behalf of your sins, God sees you as filthy and abhorrent. Worse yet, you are not only an object of repulsiveness to God (without Christ) but also an object of His wrath!

When you compare humans to humans, you are merely comparing different shades of darkness. As the author indicates, you need to attempt to see sin from the perspective of a completey righteous and holy God.

And you must also understand the ONLY thing that can blot out the cancer of sin is Christ.
