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.
If the buying in rev 13 is actually buying, anyone know where to take my money and get that gold JESUS spoke about?

Wait, you mean buying doesn't have to be literal?

According to these guys it does! So any of you have that eyesalve Jesus spoke of? Where can I buy it? What about the white raiment? But I really want that fine fine gold! Please, anyone know where to buy it and how much it costs? Jesus only told us we had to buy it.

So ATT has the same system of paying bills with the phone, without a card?
You are talking about literal buying, are you? Or do you mean figurative, as you said about Rev 3? Show us how we know something is figurative and is not in the same book of the Bible?

Not because I want to, but because I'm married with children, I have lived in a "cashless society" for years.
lol. Amen.
Not sure where the idea of cashless comes in with the mark in a literal rendition of Rev 13. The book says nothing about cashless. It just says you need a number to buy or sell. If that was literal, cash could still be involved lol. Many places refused cash from people for various reasons. Cashless does not imply the mark by any stretch of the imagination. IT COULD mean that if it was literal, but not necessarily.
