I hope that’s not evidence of any smug pseudo-’confidence’ that The Mark will NOT include denial of God and worship of The Beast.
Do you really think that ‘little issue’ will be difficult to implement once all the other puzzle pieces are in place . . .
in the coming few years?
Or are you even of the opinion that such Scriptures are not being fulfilled in our era. That would be the least perceptive perspective, imho.
By a wide and extremely hazardous margin.
So you are saying that we should reject technology because, maybe, just maybe, somewhere in the future, someone may somehow associate that technology with a denial of Christ. How did that pan out for people who 'knew for a fact' that Social Security Numbers were a mark of the beast. How about those who 'knew for a fact' that bar codes were the mark of the beast? How does any of this help us in our walk with Christ? Did Christ preach fear and paranoia or did he preach Love? What does it do Christians to live in fear and paranoia? How do we spread Christ's love? IMHO, fear and paranoia are planted distractions from the evil one to trick us into losing focus on what Christ taught us. But that is my opinion...
