or Sell with the Federal Government (SARTRE)
| here's a snip> We need to continually mature in the Word of God, as Children of the Kingdom, because a prime duty we presently have is to show the falsity of the words of man. Do you need more understanding? Then keep studying with your mind, really its OK, not only that, its required to enter the Kingdom. Use your 'forehead'. God Gave it to us to use, not to bang it against a wall. The "Mark of the beast" therefore is to put the words of man, any man in the place of the will of Father. Study, and do not be fooled by the man of sin, Satan himself, when he comes, for he surely will. Now, we see that IF the mark of Rev 13 was totally physical, such as a credit card, digital or not, implanted in you or not, tattooed on you or not, it BY ITSELF could not spiritually defile you to God. This is plain by Mark 7: 14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. (KJV) Things coming out of a man (originating inside him) can defile him or not, depending on what their nature is. Thus it is the mind, or seat of knowledge which is meant here in Mark. The seat of knowledge of a Child of the Kingdom must belong only to God. His Holy Spirit dwells there. The mind of another child can place things above God, and worship (honor) other gods, (Satan). This warning in Rev 13 is not just for some future time. We are warned as early as the book of Exodus to not make gods of gold (money, mammon etc.) This warning is oft repeated in the Gospels and Epistles. Our God is a Jealous God. He wants you to remember where your blessings come from. Now as you are well aware, we have to have money to pay bills. Thats why the statement in the NT that the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. We don't worship money, we use it as a necessity. We have to live in this world until He returns. We are to be good citizens of the world, AS WELL as worthy citizens of the Kingdom of God. Just like Daniel and His 3 friends were when in babylon. They were slaves to the King of babylon, He fed them and provided their sustenance, but never worshipped him as a god, even in word. Thus, We must/will never bow down to worship other than God. ..end snip.

The true meaning of the mark cannot be understood while the true identity of the beast is ignored or rejected.
You want to know the Bible, the history, the identity, the mark, the first-hand admission from the beast itself?

"and there was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast might even speak and cause as many as do not worship the the image of the beast or be killed.
and he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
and he provides that no one should be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man: and his number is six hundred and sixty six" Revelation 13: 15-18
Now why does God tell us to have wisdom to understand what this mark is unless we shouldn't have it?
"If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or upon his hand he also will drink the wine of the wrath of god which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger: and he ill be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels in the presence of the lamb" Revelation 14:9-10
"And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he DECEIVED those who had received the mark of the beast AND THOSE who had worshiped his image, these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone" Revelation 19:20
I'm sorry, but what you are teaching is NOT the word of God. It is merely your inference from another scripture that I am familiar with but obviously does not apply to this situation. Faith without action is dead...Actions are the expession of our faith..good or bad, little faith, big faith or no faith....
and silence is acquiescence...so if you are saying that as long as you don't say anything you can take the mark which God right here in black and white said specifically is a DECEPTION of the antichrist and wants you to have WISDOM regarding this mark so as not to take it....that it will just be OK cause God looks at what comes out of your mouth...then YOU have been deceived...and I post this so that others may not be deceived as well.
