This is a damned joke. I refuse to believe that a church would administer the mark of the beast to it's own congregation. BS.
Great satire....may it never come to pass in reality....
Reading that, it just struck me how much it would suck to actually be named Nicolae Carpathia. Almost as bad as Harry Potter.
Some people make up their own gods and laws!
Agreed. There is something simply not right about this.
I also called the directory, and the church isn't listed in the town or the surrounding cities? Anyone know if this is a true story or not???
Ping to prior Post
***Anyone know if this is a true story or not???***
It must be true, found the story on the internet.....
Ha ha, it's so cute people believe this. I mean, you can't even get 10% of the people in a parish to contribute via electronic online banking, but sure, over a thousand will implant a microchip intheir body...... and the elderly are still damn suspicious of ATM machines.
Night,
If the article isn't funny enough, the posts are even better ping.
Also the article mentions a rapture, pre-trib I would guess. This is another Satanic doctrine that has no Biblical foundation at all.
May YHWH Bless you in your search for the TRUTH.
The idea
that God doesn't care if one accepts a mark/ID in one's hand, forehead or elsewhere--without which one could not buy or sell when the global satanic ruler is in power . . .
the idea that GOD doesn't care about such a SLAG/chip implant
THAT IDEA
is certainly demonic, from the pit, UNBiblical etc.
I don't think anyone has the Rapture issue all figured out but it doesn't sound like you've read the link about it above. The Scriptures outlined are rather convincing in a list of ways.
In short, I find your post more than a little disturbing and enormously unBiblical.
Could you please show me Scripture that referrs to a chip or 666 as being the Mark of the Beast? I have searched and I don't find anything to support that man-made doctrine.
You said:

I did read it and I certainly don't believe that a chip implantation will bring on a pre-trib rapture which is non - Scriptural. A common term used by most pre-trib rapture believers is taken away. They use that term and don't even know what it means in the context used in Scripture relating to passages that they themselves select to prove their argument. For example, most pre-tribbers are quick to point the following verse out:
Matthew 24:38,39 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe intered into the ark. And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. -----As is very clear, they refers very specifically to the evil people, the ones that were drinking,etc. and took them refers to their death, perish, not their rapture.
The ones that were left or remained was the righteous remnant. Noah and his family of 8 all together, were not "taken away" nor did they perish. They were the only ones that remained alive on the earth. Please read the following passage:
Genesis 7:23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
It's truly amazing how many people have been suckered and deceived into believing this Satanic doctrine will will take many unsuspecting people who listen only to their "all-knowing" pastor who has been to XYZ Theology Seminary for 8 years, etc.etc. and the whole time he's walking them right into the gates of hell. I will provide a couple of more verses, although there are hundreds, to demonstrate what and how the Bible uses the terms "left, remnant, taken away, perish, etc." Remember, as you will see in these verses, that taken away refers to those that die or perish and the ones that are left refers to the remnant that remained alive here on earth.
Exodus 14:11 And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? Isaiah 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. Isaiah 4:3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: Ezekiel 14:22 Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.
There are many more verses all which all say, reading the context of course, basically the same thing. I'm sure you will discover that most cases, I won't say all because of context, that what I have just pointed out is the TRUTH from the Most Holy Word.
May YHWH Bless you in your search for the TRUTH.
***the posts are even better ping.***
Which is why I post this stuff.
I sent an article to my wife's home school group reporting a rise in "Home Sunday Schooling." All of these families are intriqued by the concept.
Merry Christmas!
