Amen.

We are called to do good works as a born again Christian. However, we do not do good works to be saved, but because we are saved. There is a new nature in us that causes us to live different. Jesus said our good works are for people to see and glorify God.

I have also heard some people that want to argue with me concerning the infallibility of God's word that the men who wrote the Bible was tripping on drugs. The devil will try anything possible to dissuade people from believing the one true God.

According to John chapter 1 The word of God was in the beginning. The word was with God and the word was God. The word became flesh and dwelt among men. The Word is Jesus. The first Adam sinned and messed up the human race. The second Adam (Jesus) lived a perfect life under the law and died in our place and took the wrath of God for each of the saints whom God has chosen to save from the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4)

Why the King James version, why not 🤷🏿‍♂️

The Lord is soon returning to get the church and call an end to the world, that's a fact. However, Dispensationalism is non-sense that can only be learned from a man and not the Bible. Christ is ruling now and the Kingdom of God is within you. He isn't setting up a temple here and reverting back to the temple sacrifices because Christ took care of all that. There is no parallel path for the Jews of today, they will be born again by the same Grace and the same Faith I was and they'll do it before Christ returns or they'll die lost. You can't simply take the 1611 KJV and get that millennial reign doctrine from there, it has to be taught from some liberal seminary. Revelation is apocalyptic writing so in other words it is highly symbolic and often times unclear. Revelation should be interpreted in light of the Gospels and the Epistles which are clear and literal writings. Use what is clear to interpret what is unclear. We don't just read over the symbology in Revelation and use the imagination to fill in the gaps. Our old Baptist churches didn't know anything about that non-sense until the 60's and then it got radical in the 90's with the Left Behind fiction books from Hollywood. God has given you a great platform and great responsibility, if you can't pull it directly from your KJV Bible then leave it alone.

It says in Revelation that all will take the mark whose names are not in the Book of Life. This tells us that those who are saved will not take the mark. Anyone that does take the mark will not make it to heaven.
