the beast and false prophets are humans. THEY -- those humans -- will be punished forever and ever, tormented without end

actually, no they arent. not going into it now though. maybe tomorrow when i have more time.Jac3510 wrote:the beast and false prophets are humans. THEY -- those humans -- will be punished forever and ever, tormented without end
They cannot be humans, because Jenna says that humans can't be punished for ever and ever.Jac3510 wrote:the beast and false prophets are humans. THEY -- those humans -- will be punished forever and ever, tormented without end

so now i am ridiculous, laughable, and dont follow through? i was going to follow up with this later, but since you say i do not, i will just put a few things out there.Jac3510 wrote:I'm not. Waiting. Much less with bated breath. The beast and false prophet aren't human. It's laughable. Besides, she has a tendancy not to follow through, anyway.
But, regardless, this is why these discussions are actually helpful. If anyone actually reads this, they'll see how far someone has to go to maintain their position. Eventually, the ridiculousness is so obvious that it works as its own deterrant.
No, your positions are ridiculous and laughable, as is your poor attempt to deal with what I actually said. As is your habit, you don't actually respond to what people believe but rather silly inventions of your own.jenna wrote:so now i am ridiculous, laughable,
It's been your habit not to.and dont follow through?
Of course they can, and they do. Incredulity is not a substitute for argument. But just for fun, pray tell, if these descriptions can't refer to a man, what can they refer to? Obviously not an institution. Not an idea. Not a belief. So, what? To nothing at all?i was going to follow up with this later, but since you say i do not, i will just put a few things out there.
there are 2 beasts described in the bible, one in Revelations and one in Daniel. Revelation 17:8 describes a beast that ascends out of a bottomless pit, and is ridden by a woman. Revelation 13:1-2 describes a beast that has seven heads and ten horns, and upon the horns ten crowns. it was like unto a leopard, feet like a bear, and the mouth like that of a lion. it was given power by the dragon, wounded almost to death, healed, and the world wondered after it, and worshiped it.
This depiction cannot possibly refer to a literal man.
i am aware of Daniel, as i mentioned it above. what human man is referred to in such exotic imagery? none. it is all symbolic.Jac3510 wrote:No, your positions are ridiculous and laughable, as is your poor attempt to deal with what I actually said.

***no, they are referring to an empire.Jac3510 wrote: Incredulity is not a substitute for argument. But just for fun, pray tell, if these descriptions can't refer to a man, what can they refer to?

The one called the Antichrist and his false prophet, of course.jenna wrote: ***oh really? what human man would you say this is?
Impossible, by your standards. Empires can't be ridden by women or have horns.***no, they are referring to an empire.
Alexander the Greati am aware of Daniel, as i mentioned it above. what human man is referred to in such exotic imagery? none. it is all symbolic.
again, nothing much said here. no statement as to how they could be anything more than symbolism. as for the woman, she is a symbol too, but i suppose you find that ridiculous as well.Jac3510 wrote:The one called the Antichrist and his false prophet, of course.jenna wrote: ***oh really? what human man would you say this is?

you have yet to show how they could be men. the beast and the false prophet are symbolism of the real thing, just like the dragon is symbol of Satan.Jac3510 wrote:Furthermore, it is ridiculous to suggest than an empire can be thrown into a lake of fire with Satan and be tormented forever and ever. The beast and the false prophets are men, jenna.
