Ooh, a literalist. This should be fun. Still believe the Earth is flat? Oh, I know, it's all either taken out of context, didn't use the right Hebrew word, or it was just metaphor. I've heard it all.
The simple fact is that most of the OT was written before any society in the world started realizing the Earth may be a sphere. The inaccuracy shouldn't be a problem for anyone who takes the "inspired by God" approach.
And you're stretching it a bit on the Revelations thing. The money isn't the mark. The mark must be on you so you can engage in commerce.

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. (Isaiah 40:22 (Old Testament)).

And you're stretching it a bit on the Revelations thing.
Am I really? Did I post the verse? I never specified anything about the verse, only to state the fact that it was impossible for a first-century man to know that there would be a time when the technology would exist to number every person on earth unless a Being Who was all-knowing enabled that first-century man to know that. Now if you have a credible way to refute that, give it your best shot.
Well, at least not since Christians lost absolute power in government.
Christians never had power in the government. And, believe me, it's not Christians you need to be concerned about.
