Advertising? That's the huge down side for you?
Really? Are Christians just a bunch of 'boys who cry wolf' to you?
Even the Jews (at least a large portion of them) will 'come to Jesus' during the end times.

Ok after a slow start a few people have got their cards on the table.

People are fabricating scenarios to make it sound dramatic. Clearly they do not understand what Revelation is saying. Kelly Jay even changed what the bible says and added the word 'implant'. There is no such thing in the bible.

adding too or taking away from it that would be changing scripture. Speaking about an
event using my own words isn't altering text, they are going to put that mark on those
who take it, if it goes into the body it will be implanted. It is possible the mark remains
outside of the body and I'd be wrong about the word implanted.

KellyJay would you like to comment on what you would do in this scenario?
- cash has become obsolete and is done away with in developed countries, all commercial transactions are electronic
- every person carries contactless charge cards or phonepay systems and transaction values become unlimited due to fingerprint and retinal scanning and voice recognition technologies
- governments leverage the cash free zones to eliminate fraud and tax evasion
- poverty level begin to decline as welfare goes electronic and those in need are offered microchips in lieu of bank cards whereby e-stipends desposited to individuals and benefit fraud is completely eliminated.
- the technology is picked up in the mainstream populous and bank cards are gradually eliminated saving billions of tons of plastic and saving enormous amounts of money
- bio recognition technology means transactions are fraud proof saving global economies hundreds of billions
- your contactless bank card is now a tiny chip located in the back of your hand between the metacarpals
- in order to eat you need to work, but in order the buy the food you need to be paid and pay
What do you do?
How confident are you in your claims about “actual marks” “human barcodes”...confident enough not to eat?
Honestly, what would you do?

Then you tell others about your false teaching.
You are a false teacher.
Go learn the truth, then talk
Otherwise shut up.

To what chapter and verse are you referring to? Because I wasn’t quoting one!
IIRC you've repeatedly admonished rajk for "adding to the bible" when he has similarly commented on scripture. Am I mistaken?

It’s a completely innocuous test of reasoning.
Originally posted by @thinkofoneWhen quoting it and change the text or misrepresentating the meaning that is one thing, when you are not bringing up specific scripture and talking about an event is another.
