Re: Introduction of "Digital Dollar"
 
Digital wallets are already here. I’ve always sold gym weights. Ever since I was 12, I’ve sold dumbbells, barbells, plates, kettlebells, or my own created implements. Well the NWOvirus caused gyms to close all over the United States. So, I have literally sold more weight than I have ever sold in my entire life. While I deal strictly in cash, the guys and gals asked me if I have Zelle (which I do) but never really use. Plus they mentioned other electronic wallet apps. But I just tell them to bring cash. So for years they have been trying to go cashless. Hey we already use worthless pieces of paper backed by debt instead of gold. So what’s the difference if we use “thin air” backed by debt? Nebuchadnezzar’s image (if it was future) should of went from gold to the feet being made of paper and digital numbers. Good grief.

“Is there a way of paying and picking up that maintains social distancing? I can pay PayPal or Venmo and you leave them somewhere where we con't come into contact? Thanks.”

Here was one individual who contacted me to buy weights.
Wanted to use digital money.

Someone posted this to FB and mentioned it's the prelude to the Mark of the Beast.

People have been using Bitcoin for a while now. I don't see the issue with digital currency. We basically use it now with our phone apps and debit cards. People rarely use actual paper money anymore.

There is an update to the article: "Updated on 3/24/20 at 11:45 AM: The final version of the economic stimulus package offered by Speaker Pelosi the House Democrats no longer includes the U.S. Digital Dollar proposal; however, the language as proposed by Chairwoman Waters of the House Financial Services Committee still contains this language."

I have digital money, I use ApplePay all day long. I also have cash at the house. I dont believe things changing into a more technological advance is always a bad thing. Yet, with everything we use moderation.

A crisis always ushers in the back door things we would never stomach before. Our freedoms are being eroded day by day. A digital wallet will soon ensure that everything you do will be monitored and tracked. It will usher in control over every aspect of our lives. Regardless of whether you want to believe in the mark of the beast or not... everyone sees the possibilities becoming more and more a reality. Soon, buying and selling will not be possible on a large scale, without digital access.

The agorist marketplace is growing in some circles...people that buy sell, trade and barter outside governmental interference, control and or observation.


What you will see is the government escalating its regulation.


Government is like this really unhealthy mom and son relationship where she sabotages any attempt to become self sufficient and independent...the more you struggle to pull away the tighter she ties those apron strings...its for the best you know?

Bitcoin is a private digital currency. Complete and total sham and I believe may violate the Divine prohibition against false weights and measures (not that anybody is remotely concerned about God's opinion these days) but it is still private.

A "Digital Dollar" is something a bit different. Besides the fact that the Constitution seems to demand gold as currency the main issue is control. If anyone thinks the government would craft a program that allows genuine privacy and autonomy they are living in a fantasy land. Nobody who values liberty would want digital currency set up and maintained by the government. What, you didn't comply with some stupid communistic social edict? -brrrp- there, all your financials are locked, no more money for you. Good like buying food or paying bills now.

That's where things are headed, based on the public statements of the people with the power to make such things happen. Blockchain currency has a useful place. But under government control? Uh, nah thanks bruh. Think I'll pass.

By your definition wouldnt our current currency be a violation of False Weights and Measures since we are no longer on the gold standard?

A difficult question (hence why I said "may") but a lot of people have said the fiat currency in use now is based on a false weight and measure. I think this a good subject to get into and it's been something I've been thinking about for a few years off and on.

There are some businesses even today who have had their banking accounts closed and had PayPal and other services shut down their accounts because of politics.

Exactly. Now imagine if all financial assets, currency, and information, accounts, etc were digital AND under uncle Sam's control.

Bitcoin was originally a statist's worst nightmare due to its pricacy and anonymity. So central banks and now governments want to get in on it "for the chirrenz" of course.

Do you believe that there is a future second coming? A future resurrection? A future millennial reign?

The mark of the beast is not a future event?

I know many that will disagree with you on the mark of the beast. They believe it’s a future event that will show your approval for the Antichrist. You won’t be able to buy or sell without 666 on your forehead. I believe in Sixth Day Man, not some 666 mark on your skin.

Yes, he is. He says no because he believes that most full preterists are cessationists. So, he can say “No, I am not” on a technicality.

No sir, I do not believe God is coming to earth to rapture his church so he can destroy everyone. I believe his wrath was upon his chosen people Israel for the adulteries they committed. I dont believe God is going to go back to Israel as his chosen and the church now, will be a concubine. I do believe as Jesus talked to his followers he spoke to them and for their generation, not to me and my generation. He wasnt mad and full of indignation against America and this present world, he was mad at Israel for rebelling against his word, for killing the prophets that he sent. As the jews said before he was crucified “let his blood be upon us and our children.” America didnt say that, the Catholic Church didnt say that, the trinitarians didnt say that, Israel did. His wrath was upon them and their old covenant world. And he destroyed them in 70 A.D.

Go learn where and when this doctrine started. Read about Margret McDonald the prophetess from the 1800’s. Name several different religions and compare to Apostolic/Pentecostals we dont agree on
Baptism
Speaking in tongues
ONE GOD
Acts 2:38
Modesty
Holiness
Separation

But we do agree in Jesus is coming back for the 3rd time, sorry #2???.

It has to be #3 because he came on the day of Pentecost, he came in 70 AD and destroyed the covenant world of Israel and now he’s coming Again in our time some time.

Even Rev. David Bernard stated in one of his books when Jesus came as the comforter that constitutes as a coming and then he even mentioned the bloodbath in 70 AD. So, this is Gods #3 return.

Man was created on the 6th day of the week, same as the beasts.

Go and learn what that meaneth....

Brother there is a greater revelation waiting for you.
