• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What do you believe the mark of the beast is?

Not something yet revealed that is for sure. What does scripture say about the Mark of the Beast?

Revelation 13:16-17

Two things here disqualify the microchip, really three.

The Mark will be "put" on their right hand or FOREHEAD. I do not ever see anyone getting the microchip on or in their forehead.

Second is the Mark is the name of the beast or his number. The microchip makes for good conspiracy talk, but it is neither the name or number of the beast. Unless you know who the beast is and if you do then I would love to know too.

Thirdly, the Mark is meant to be a sign of beast worship. So again, unless we know who the beast is then we cannot know what the mark is.

Given what scripture states about the topic the mark cannot be a microchip. It may be a tattoo but I wouldn't put it past the idea to say the mark is a figurative symbol. It is not even the only visible "mark" spoken of in Revelation. For in Revelation 5:3 God "seals" his servants on the foreheads with a protective symbol. Even in Deuteronomy 11:18 we are tie as symbols God's word on our hands and forehead.

It all comes down to two things though just to reiterate. The microchip can't go on the forehead so that disqualifies it. The mark is meant as a symbol of worship to the beast and as such until we know who the beast is the microchip cannot be the mark.

One thing to keep in mind is that the Scriptures tell us that those who do not receive the mark of the beast will not be able to buy or sell (Rev. 13:17). Having said that, I believe the microchip, if not the mark of the beast, will still play a key role in controlling the masses and cutting people off from not being able to buy or sell.

It is possible sure but how likely?

Think of third world countries where they don't even have electronics. Are they all suddenly going to get microchips and have electronic devices capable of reading and transmitting data via a microchip? Doubt it.

If it is a tattoo that would be a very very easy thing to do worldwide which is what the mark will be, a worldwide thing.

As someone else already mentioned (and I alluded to) it is also very likely the mark will be an action or mentality that associates said person with the beast.

I get your point but if this chip really is there won't be a 3rd world. They died off from it cause they couldn't buy or sell. Fixing the over population problem at the same time

Just sayin.

Either way you look at it, its a wonderful way to get people "comfortable" with the idea of having something put in or on their body, seeming very innocent/easy/quick/convenient, we live in a drive thru window kinda world.

The Apocalypse of John is almost entirely symbolic. It is blatantly so- the most cryptic book in the Bible to be exact.

And yet, we're going to take this part literally :scratch:

What I see personally is the accepted gesture of salute today- right hand to forehead- a loyalty to a corrupted government.
