st mark, you are right on. it is amazing how many "apostolics" are mocking this.
are you all unaware that people are not going to know they are taking the mark of the beast, it is based on deception and flatteries. Now, the technology is not evil, but technology will certainly be used when the mark of the beast is implemented-since the ability to allow or disallow someone from buying or selling.

Two things should be a red flag for ALL christians:
#1)anything that is not optional, but is required concerning buying and selling.

I like using my debit card, I hate carrying case. But it is optional, and I chose to do it. It becomes diferent when it is forced. However, even if forced, such as the eventual National ID, it is not the mark of the beast, as long as the chip is in a card or something external and you can get rid of it if you desire, it is not the mark of the beast (though it is likely a precursor). However, it is quite a different story when it is IN you.

#2)when the government wants to put something IN me.

This is the line for me, I dont care if they want to put it in my foot, I'm not doing it. It is double-red flag (if that is even a phrase) when that same action will give me the ability to be able to buy and sell.

You who wold take a chip do you think the mark of the beast is going to be a huge 666 ?

also what about the fact that people/preachers have been warning that one day we would have to be chipped? No that day is not here, right now it is optional. But what about 10 or 20 years from now? What about 50 years?

Also, why are you guys so hostile against endtime prophecy? I live life and I enjoy it, I have hobbies I like, I get into sports and cars, etc. ive your life, but ignorning prophecy and mocking it isn't going to make it go away. ou're not just mocking people, you are unintentionally mocking the word of God, unless you are a preterist and think that all prophecy was fulfilled 2000 years ago. Now talk about a hoax.
