How is it a stumbling block to me? The only one doing any "stumbling" here is, apparently, YOU. Reading through this thread someone would think you aren't sure about your claim WRT the 7000 elect your teacher Arnold Murray has you convinced you are a part of - though, because he has died, he no longer even is (ironic?). You have vacillated between "7000" being a literal number to it NOT being literal. All I'm trying to do is pin you down on what you REALLY believe - is there going to be ONLY 7000 that do not succumb to the lies of the antichrist or will it be many, many more of the remnant than 7000 - which IS what Scripture says. Can you finally come to a decision on this? That's all I have been seeking.
Wow, I do believe you could hang on this the rest of your life. lol I first mentioned that it could be relative to population about 250 posts ago. I guess you missed it.
