Re: Scoffers on AFF

Revelation 13:16 the mark χάραγμα isn't an implantable device, but an engraving, made with a signet, or sculpting tool, like a chisel.

In Revelation 20:4 specifically says upon their foreheads. In the Textus Receptus it literally says that upon the forehead and upon the hand. Nothing remotely close to something being injected or implanted.

Re: Scoffers on AFF

I am forever amazed that people can read into scripture what is not there in complete disregard to the command not to do just that.

Rev 13:16 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:
Rev 13:17 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.

Where pray tell me does these verses say anything about a cashless society, or a computer chip implantation. It speaks of a visible mark, period. If it were a invisible mark, most people are already lost for they already do most of their business with an invisible number they carry in their purse or wallet.

You just have no imagination. Clearly you are not cut out to be a old time Pentecostal Evangelist.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
