How does pointing out that there are actual signs in the heavens, which Genesis says in one of the reasons for the sun, moon and stars, can possibly lead people away from salvation? On the other hand, pointing out that taking the mark of the beast or worshiping his image will take away your salvation because your name will be stricken from the Lamb’s Book of Life is a helpful thing.
My comment in post 64 was about 42 months, and had nothing to do about signs in the sun, moon, and stars. Everyone that believes the 42 months are LITERAL months, are futurists. Yes, they believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture. They also deny the existence of the true antichrist power and his STATED mark of authority, Sunday worship.
The MOTB is about worship, commandment keeping, and specifically, the 4th commandment 7th-day-Sabbath. Revelation 14 makes that very clear.
“Sunday is our mark of authority… The church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.” Catholic Record, Sept 1, 1923.
So, SubMareener, do you see how simply repeating the PTR mantra could easily decide someone’s salvation?
There is no PTR. And, everyone that’s alive at the end of this world will have to make the MOTB decision. Most will “choose poorly”.
