I have no desire to prove that you were wrong in your statement in order to gain a few points. But I took the time to study to make sure my points were correct - but not to one-up you. That would be arrogant on my part and God Forbid that that would ever be my motivation.

That being said, assuming I correctly understood your comment, implying that taking the mark will not damn someone, that conclusion is dangerously incorrect. The passage I quoted above from revelation 14 proves it. I say dangerously incorrect - not just for you but for anyone else that read your post. Anyone alive during the time of ac, must resist at all earthly costs from taking the mark. Please reread Revelation 14 and understand my point.

:: implying that taking the mark will not damn someone ::

Imposing your suppositions on my words is bad form.
I have made (at last count) 3 studies on portions of Rev 14 (covering the whole).
The Mark is simply the Mark, it is taken or rejected on man’s own volition.
Those that take it, condemn themselves...God does not damn them; God wants all men to be saved.

It is interesting...to me...that you still are not pointing to Christ or the Gospel as the source, only to The Mark is bad juju.
Even here I have pointed back to the Gospel.
