Would You Allow An RFID Microchip In Your Hand?

[Northwest Savant]

Revelation 13:16-17: He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

With fair regularity, stories appear in the media about technology that will allow the Beast to number and track every person on earth. People believe that either a number or bar code will be imprinted on the foreheads or hands of those who will be permitted to buy or sell. Lately, the stories have been about implantable microchips that will store vital information about each of us.

A Wisconsin technology firm, Three Square Market has injected 80 employees with their own brand of RFID microchips over the last year:

At Swedish startup Epicenter, about 150 employees have been microchipped:

If your employer required you to be "Microchipped", would you allow it?

If your bank in the future chooses this technology over credit/debit cards, will you allow yourself to be "Microchipped"?

NO!!! (Sorry about the size, but 7 is as big as it would go... )

I wish I could swear right now. But saying "never" will have to suffice.

#@%$ no.

I was away from home without my wallet yesterday, and it would have been handy.
Edit:No pun intended.

The Mark of the Beast is simply money

Money / mammon / antiChrist. If you love money, you will hate God and hence be an antiChrist (Luke 16:13)

Both paper money and coin is made of a mark (imprint / engraving) and contains the name and the number of the system that created it. You need to have one on the hand and on the mind in order to buy and sell.

The RFID chip is just another form of it. If you loved money, refusing the RFID chip won't make any difference.

But you can turn away from the "love of money" as long as it is external to you.

I think this thread is in the wrong subforum.

If it came down to the only way to use money, would it be wrong for a church to use a scanning device to accept tithes and offerings from those with microchips?

You might not know this, but they already had money during biblical times.

Probably. In all likelihood, it is the cursed system of currency mentioned in Revelation 13. If it never had that allegiance factor (as stated in the Bible), it would be a great system from a technological standpoint.

I would be reluctant to use even cash, if it had "God is icky!" printed on it...

 

[Nithavela]

For all the speculation in this thread, such a system would never be introduced for the simple reason of pushback by religious folks. It's far easier to keep using cards and similiar items of identification or use cellphones.

The Beast is originally the Roman Empire and yes, the Mark is the money of the Roman Empire.

We still use the same system, only with a different name.

There's serious health concerns too. And probably fierce opposition from those advocating right to privacy.

There was money before rome.

"Ordinary" Money since the Roman Empire has always been cursed. The world makes profit from by exploiting the cheap labor of the poor or the less fortunate.

That is why loving money is equivalent to hatred of God (Luke 16:13)

Jesus referred to money / worldly wealth as unrighteous wealth or "Mammon of Unrighteousness" (Luke 16:9)

But Rome forced its conquered nations to use Roman money - caused them to receive the mark (money) of the Beast that contains engravings of its ownership (belonging to Rome or to Caesar)

RFIDs, national identification cards, social security numbers, or anything of the sort have no religious or theological meaning to me. There is nothing in scripture or the traditions of Christianity that says "thou shalt not have any form of identification".

Not true, the roman empire allowed conquered regions to still mint their own currency which was often the same as before being conquered.

Personally, I don't think it is the MotB. It doesn't match prophecy on some levels. But I am reluctant of having anything implanted "on [my] right hand or on [my] forehead," just to be on the safe side. Even re-entry stamps for amusement parks, etc.

Do you really think that your god will send you to eternal damnation because you got a stamp in an amusement park?
