buy and sell

Hello all,

(Proverbs 23:23 KJVR)  Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

(Revelation 13:17 KJVR)  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Those who have the mark can buy and sell what the world offers (false doctrines, false teachings).

Those who who have not received the mark cannot buy or sell , they cannot buy (believe) what the world offers (false doctrines, false teachings) or sell (convince) the world of the truth of Christ.

Love in Christ,
Aaron

Interesting post.  Brought up some questions for me. 


Just what is this mark of the beast we receive??  We all by nature are children of wrath, beasts.  Do we all have the mark of the beast?? 


Rev 13:16-18 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Gen 4:15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.



If we all receive the mark, then we may buy and sell??



Luk 18:22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

Mat 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.


Luk 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

I believe all do get the mark of the beast, because we have to overcome it.

Rev15:2 "And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name...."

How can we overcome it if we didn't have it?

jenny06:
From my expience, I heard once within one body of church goers that in order for them to identify those who are called to preach, that person has to be sent (by another church).  "Someone has to send that person," one deacon said.  He sited Paul for his example, that if he had not spoken for by others that the people trusted, than he would not have been a believable convert.  It just so happens that one of the other parisheners had mentioned that a someone was speaking in a wallmart parking lot and that is what spurred on the whole topic.  So in my understanding, you have to buy what they sell or you cannot sell because they are talking about all of us, warning their parisheners of us, who don't think like those of man's church!

Aaron,

That's the way I see it too. I didn't  think Rev 13:17 (which is a Book Of Symbols) is meant to be interpreted 'literally' like Christendom likes to do.    ::)

Good post indeed. And as it so happenend someone asked what is my interpretation of Rev 13:17 since I don't believe it's talking about literally selling and buying things like food,water, gas, etc... and while I was away you had answered it. :lol

btw, who locked the thread about 'National ID Card' and why?
