[yatros from flatwater]

Your reference to the "mark" only being a concern when you physically "implant" it prompted me to caution you that Deuteronomy 6:4-8 seems to bear strongly upon the issue. It doesn't matter only what is in the phylactery or chip but what is in your head (thoughts) and hand (actions).

If a future evil government demands (and receives) your obedience and requires you to carry an ID chip in your wallet or under your skin as testimony, it's your evil actions in response that condemn you far more than the chip.

[Mr. K]

so you can still go to heaven even with the 'mark' - I didnt thik that was possible.
