That's kind of scary if you look at it that way. Some things that I have thought about (and I am sure have already been mentioned somewhere on the forum) are our Social Security #, Facebook.
Yes, I agree it looks very innocent. I wonder who's idea this particular chip is and what organization is behind it. If that even matters because the people that invented it could be innocent as well and then it falls into the wrong hands.
Re 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
No doubt in my mind, but that those who stand, must stand by His grace. True dependence upon His grace will stand the test. Only those who commit the error of Peter, and boast in their own power to remain faithful, will not endure.Re 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Greetings to you George
That is a very scary verse when we think about it. I just pray that the Lord calls us home before this dreadful time on the earth!

You won't see me or anyone in my family taking ANY chip in our bodies

Right, I will do everything I can to defend/prevent this from happening to me or my family.
This is where I believe some discussion on other topics on this forum like gun control ties in. Some have said Jesus would not have us using guns. This would be an example where we would need to defend ourselves. If of course they tried to use force to accept the chip. Sorry if I am getting off topic
I think the scripture says that folks would not be able to buy or sell without this mark? So then the condition that one must receive some mark is not voluntary, but if one wants to buy and sell they will volutarily receive this mark.The mark of the beast is voluntary. Anything that can be forced upon you involuntarily, such as an RFID chip, is not the mark of the beast. There is nothing physical that anybody can do to you that can keep you from Christ.

I think that is the point that Atonement is making? That we see that our relationship with God will be tested by coming events? I agree that some form of "mark" is going to be established at some point. I would not be surprised if it somehow related to what Atonement has shared with us?Which do you value more, your ability to buy and sell, or your relationship with God? Take a stand!
I think most can see the point Atonement was making?Except an RFID isn't a test, it's something that can be physically forced on you while you are unconscious. You could wake up and not even know it was there inside you. There is a difference between being forced to choose between groceries and God, and being given no choice as to whether you are identifiable by some technical marker.
Thats fair, and I am not saying that I think this chip is the "mark" but I do think it shows how a "mark" such as this chip, is in the world now. That as believers we should consider that some sort of world system, would now have access to these types of things that could be used to fulfill certain scriptures we see as warnings?I see his point, I just don't agree with it.
