Ok second try

KEEP IT CIVIL SO THE THREAD WILL NOT GET PULLED

[Sir Gawain]

Ok, it's back, temporarily at least.

[Doctor Freeze]

Get to the point please.

[lelio]

Keep it short so that I can read it in less than 10 minutes, thanks.

[Free the USA]

Don't the ancient texts delegate 616 instead of 666.

[CheneyChick]

The "When in Doubt, Overload" technique is best kept to explosives.

[LN2Campy]

Nothing wrong with "69" though, right? ;)

[AlaninSA]

Funny, but the Bible we use at Mass doesn't look anything like the National Enquirer.

KEEP IT CIVIL SO THE THREAD WILL NOT GET PULLED

When did it get pulled before? And for what reason? Do you know?

[Straight Vermonter]

I've never really understood the fascination with the "end times". If I have to confront the Lord today because it is the end of the world or because I get hit by a bus, what is the difference. We all need to have our spiritual house in order everyday not try to time things so we can be that last worker to come to the vinyard.

BWAHAHAHAHA!

You're too late!</font size>

[Don Myers]

I will try to get a chance to read it. Why all of the tricks with the fonts?

Fine, don't think any of the FReeper crowd is going to let anyone implant a chip in them or their cat. And in no way can I imagine that our President would sign off on such a thing, simply because he is mindful of the prophesy concerning the Last Days.
However, we did come very close to having All Gore leading our current fight. Perhaps God has already shown us mercy in giving us a different leader.

As long as we're quoting Bible verses about mammon, here's a fun one:

"A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things."--Ecclesiastes 10:19

This should not be posted, as comic relief is inappropriate during this, out time of national tragedy.

That said, it is one of the funniest satires I've ever read.

I think the spiritual significance of inserting something under the skin escapes many who are unaware of how satanists work. It is no small matter. And it bears as much weight as far as I'm concerned as much of what you say about the love of money. People will willingly accept a satanic insert in order to preserve their financial viability.

The mark reduces each individual to the worth of his insert. The insert is the only thing of value - lose it and you are worthless. Because it is no longer your work that is of worth - it is the ability to attach that work to an ability to trade electronic currency. If you get out of line, they void you and you are nothing. Want to reign in a whole group of people by religion - easy pickins: click on a checkbox for what religious group you want to persecute, click into restrictions and void their ability to trade with anyone. Instant alienation - instant persecution of anyone at any time for anything. The mark truly will reduce people to little more than a number and a pawn of the devil. Through inserts, posession will be normal - status quo. So all will be completely worthless unsaveable tools used of the Devil. More significant than the standard arguments.

Interesting analysis .... my only shot against this puppy is the formatting which sucks.

Never thought about zip codes, bank codes and SSN's in that manner.

[Republic of Texas]

Very Interesting. What was it about again?

[jgrubbs]

You probably send out those long spam emails that no one reads too don't you?

[Darkshadow]

To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

All your base are belong to US!

Do you think you will be raptured BEFORE ALL OF THIS TAKES PLACE? GUESS AGAIN.

Well, in fact, yes. The Bible indicates that we, as Christians, won't know the hour or day of the Lord's coming. However, if we were "in" the Tribulation (i.e., were still here) we would definitely know that time of the Lord's coming.

The events inside the Tribulation time are marked out (1,260 days and 1,260 days or 42 months and 42 months, with the abomination of desolation that Jesus Christ talked about, from Daniel, at that midpoint, being the Antichrist, standing in the then-existing Temple in Jerusalem, proclaiming himself to be God). When we see that -- then there is no question as to the exact day of the return of the Lord. It's 1,260 days later -- exactly.

And Paul told us not to be fooled into believing that the Day of the Lord had come. And he said to comfort one another, in the knowledge of the coming of the Lord, to take us in a twinkling of an eye.

While those who remain may live through the wrath of God, those who are "righteous in the blood of Christ" (by their faith in the promise of Christ for the forgiveness of sin and their resurrection for all who believe on Him) will not be living through it.
