hmmm don't think this works out for your argument!

Sorry TL, you can't shake my confidence in Jesus! What was "the word of their testimony?"
Revelation 12:17 helps us with that. (This is also something you "legalists" like to avoid - the Commandments of God -
Acts 15:10-20)
And the fact that... "Their testimony" IS JESUS CHRIST!

That is the most baffling statement that I've read today.
Genesis 15:6:
"And he [Abraham]
believed in the LORD; and he [the LORD]
counted it to him for righteousness."
Galatians 3:6:
"Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
This is the premier "One Stepper" illustration from the OT.
Q: What exactly did Abraham do to "become righteous?"
A: He believed God.
When you get a handle on that then you can really "LOL" - like Sarah laughed, and Mary the mother of Jesus laughed!
