What good Christians would be fooled?
If a person is born again, they wont take the Mark.
To be a Christian means you have been sealed with the Holy Spirit. To take the Mark, means you have condemned yourself.
The two are mutually exclusive.
We don't know what form the mark will have for sure. I guess if its a literal stamp on your forhead you may be right. But if it's a personal identifer for shopping and so forth maybe not.
Good Christians was a relevant term.
Being born again means more to me than just saying so.
One must die to the world, to the material of the world, completely to be reborn.
I can only think of a couple of figures that may have done this completely, and know of no one including myself, that has.
To be sealed with the Holy Spirit, one must have complete and total FAITH.
Again, there are few of these, and the d'evil temptations have easily broken the strongest faith. A sealed garment is easily soiled from the inside.
I think those who won't take the Mark may be much like FREEPERS. Not all of us are religious, but we do know good from evil.
Well .. Christians won't take the mark because the Christians won't be on the earth to take the mark. They will have been raptured out of the earth.
