Great advice in Scripture such as:
-Eph 5:33 says for husbands to love your wives and wives respect your husbands.
-"Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil." Eph 4
-"A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger." Pro 15:1

Does he believe the gospel? That is what really matters. Things like what form the mark of the beast will take are not essentials of the faith. Revelations 13 and 14 as I read it makes it pretty clear that believers won't be tricked into taking the mark. People who do will do so aware of what they are doing. Revelation 14 indicates angels will be warning people so it is clear what they are doing.

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: And they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. (Revelation 14:9-11)

We are talking about the mark of the beast here. You cannot claim to be a Christian and let satan put a barcode on you like property. To me it is a no- brainer. Christian= no mark

To me this is more or less a very sensual view of what this mark depicts ...

That is what I did. I was beside myself. I wanted him to sit with his words and attitude so I went silent. That was 2 days ago and the elephant is still here...

Did you say that a specific something was the Mark and he shouldn't take it? We don't know what the Mark will be, but when it appears, you can garuntee that God will make it clear to His children that it's the Mark.

Okay, I see a super long post containing dozens of various quotes, with a link at the bottom to a website with a lot of strange and bizarre information. How do you expect a person to wade through all this stuff with any direction?

became very cynical and negative about Biblical scriptures, prophesy and got angry with you for saying you would refuse the mark of the beast? What would you think?He claims he is Christian but...??
For one thing I would say to him that these are two completely different issues in one, a refusal to get chipped could have nothing to do with religious belief at all and I could see atheists having an issue with it too. If my spouse had a change of beliefs I would probably handle that pretty well, but it would annoy me if someone got mad at me for not wanting the Manchurian Candidate chip inside of me lol

As the ol' saying goes you can lead a horse to water but can't make 'em drink. Not my problem. I gave the guy's quotes and nothing from any outside opinions in the article. Everything Christianity is expecting revolving around a time when global domination by man can be pulled off (without guns) is in there. A perfect set up for end of days. Until this point in time no one has ever been able to rule the world, even with their armies and money. The Technocratic age is about to change that and the mark of the beast will become real. How that plays into the OP's post is anybodies guess..

This is more like a whirlpool than a placid pool, suitable for drinking lol.

If your response when someone is new to all of this and asks for some guidance is "not my problem", then don't be dismayed or surprised when you don't get very far in sharing your views :)

Maybe he is not Dispensational. Your theological conclusion leans in that direction. This theological system is in error. Maybe do some research on Amillinialism and partial Preterisim. Sounds like he leans more in that direction. Be blessed.

What do you think the mark of the beast is? How do you think people get it?
