Just something to think about as maybe being the mark of the beast.
May God have mercy on us all.

The new microchip technology with an RFID chip is so advanced it sounds like science fiction. The Apostle Paul explains how this fits into Revelation 13, where the False Prophet will head a one world religion and force people to accept the mark of the beast. A microchip implant, biochip implant or med chip, in and of itself, is not necessarily the mark of the beast.

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Where in the Bible does the Apostle Paul explain how this fits into Revelation 13?[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]The mark of the beast under the direction of the False Prophet, requires the conscious rejection of Jesus Christ as Lord and a commitment to worship the Antichrist as God. The challenge for Christians a[/FONT][FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]nd others will be the very act of taking a microchip implant, biochip implant or med chip, simply because of its parallel to the Biblical mark of the beast. Will people of faith be exempted for religious reasons or will they be forced to take it or imprisoned. In addition, any microchip technology could be activated with enhanced controls after it is implanted.[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]So what starts out as a simple microchip implant could become a technology where at some future time, you must worship the Antichrist as God, and reject Jesus Christ as Lord in order to participate in the economic system. The built-in and evolving capacity of microchip technology makes this a dangerous possibility.[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]There is a huge logical problem here. Usually, if a person believes in this particular interpretation of Revelation, they also believe that Jesus wins in the End. It's hard enough to get people to believe in the story in the first place, let alone persuading them to sign up for the eternally-losing side.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]Allow me to make a "bold" prediction:[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif]You will continue to see fluctuating numbers of people who claim to adhere to a certain belief system, if you decide to occasionally look up statistics. You will see stuff like "In this particular region of the world, there are 200,000 Christians, 150,000 Muslims, 50,000 Atheists, and 10,000 Jews". I predict that you will
never see "believers in the Antichrist"
ever crack these lists. [/FONT]

In the final analysis, the simple act of accepting the implantation of a microchip for medical reasons appears harmless on the surface. However, there is no guarantee that once it is implanted, that it will not be activated for mark of the beast technology. This is the danger and challenge that lies before us.

my final analysis is that Paul McGuire shouldn't be taken seriously.[/FONT]
