• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

The evil that is fleshy mankind has no problem eliminating those who do not fit the 'system', be they disabled or merely followers of a different kingdom (authourity) than man's. Such is life as we know it, the result of putting our will before the will of the Father.

Really? Care to say who the Beast is, then?
According to God's Word, Plan and Purpose,
or
according to tradition ?

It takes a bit of reconstruction of ideas, or 'un'learning...
but might not take too long .... ....
Oh.... just noticed the section this is in, and the op/ topic ...
so this may be continued in another section Yahweh Willing ...

Nobody's quite sure what the "mark of the beast" is, but it's nothing that exists right now.
Sure it exists. It's these wicked stretch marks on my arms and chest from all these sweet gains I've been getting at the gym. ;)

There are mentally challenged people who reject Jesus today, without the mark. Same fate if they don't repent and believe.
If they are incapable of thinking properly to do those things. But I got some really good answers so far.

God is altogether just and fair as well as Sovereign. He will never cast an undeserving person in hell that cannot comprehend any gospel and or His Word.
These little people with down syndrome and such are very special and have a purity that is a blessing to behold. I am positive God has a very special plan for them.

The "mark of the beast" is not a bar code, microchip, credit card, etc. The anti-Christ described in Revelation is Nero, 666 is the number of man, hence representing his status as "ruler of the world" (the Roman Empire, which at the time was so big that it might as well have been the world), and the mark of the beast is the Roman-era coins used for currency back then, which had Nero's face stamped on it. Back then it was common for the current ruler of the country to appear on the money (in the USA there is a law saying that no living presidents can be on money, so this doesn't happen).

No, it means that there's no need to be excessively paranoid about "the mark of the beast" because said beast and mark have already passed into history, most likely.

I'm not so sure as the world of man seems to be full tilt seeking gain at the expense of others, putting their will before God's.

r u counting those w' autism & asperger's both (or should i say asd) since (in my case), i can't recognize god's voice - thru answers or prayer, unable to recognize warning signs, unable 2 understand most of the gospel (symbolism, imagry, codes, clues, numbers, names etc is to difficult & i'm unable to read between the lines as well)...i can only understand some of the literal parts, not all)...i do know rite from wrong, but don't always know that i'm sinning unless it's literally written in the bible (like the 10 commandments - thou everything under the 10 commandments, 4 example has 2 be listed/written down, defined/explained...in other words, it's gotta be like a full a 'book of sins', b4 i understand)...i'm asking cuz i think i took the mark, but once i found out abt it (2 yrs ago), i've repented daily...u can read more info abt what i believe it 2 be on autusm & the mark of the beast

There is an enormous amount of ridiculous claptrap regarding the mark of the beast. Contrary to what lying satanists might claim, it is NOT some kind of automatic ticket to damnation. It is NOT the sign that you are the servant of the beast. Scripture is very plain on this. Nowhere does it identify the mark as any such thing. It is something that people are COMPELLED to have. The second beast causes it to happen. Having it doesn't destroy salvation. I challenge anyone at all to produce explicit quotation from Scripture to prove that it is some kind of "membership" thing or some kind of "sign" of damnation. Produce the Scripture.

I also challenge anyone to produce Scripture that states people are to "resist" this mark.
