Will you refuse the "Mark"?

[Khristeeanos]

Getting the "mark" will cause the forfeiture of your salvation, so you had better not take it!!!

Revelation 14:9-13

A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name." This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.

Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on."

"Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them."

I hope & pray that Jesus will come for His churc h before that happens,but if not then i would rather face earthly death than spirtual death.Under no circumstannnces will i take the mark.

Christians through the ages have taken a stand and refused to deny Christ, forfeiting their lives in the process. Remember as Christians truly dedicated to Jesus Christ we can never do anything but refuse to deny Him even if it means being beheaded. This is one of my strongest soul winning points when I am witnessing to people about following Jesus Christ. Many people believe Christianity is a myth, and so I often say "If that is the case then why can you see throughout history people dying for the cause of Christ, people will not give up their lives for a myth". If we are still living when this time comes, those who have a deeply intimate relationship with Jesus Christ will choose to die rather than deny Him, me included. I love my Jesus, He died for me, this body is temporary any way you look at it. But eternity is forever. Choose well.

Yes this is a very good point when talking to a non-believer about Christ. As a matter of fact, I would bring up that all the apostles(except one I think) were put to death because they refused to deny him. This is one of the strongest bits of evidence, because they where there to witness Jesus Christ and his works. And if they did not believe Jesus to be who he said he was, then they would not have followed him even to death. They cannot deny that. Or you could just tell them that a murderer of Chirstians was eventually changed into a christian, then went on to spread Christianity throughout Europe, and the nwas beheaded because he would not deny Jesus Christ. Wow, what a change. Went form killing Christians, to giving his life for Christ. Very hard to deny that one.

In Christ,

Am I one of the only ones who thinks that we won't be around to worry about it???

There are a few that believe in a pretrib rapture, but you will get a lot of rebuttal if you try and prove it. Old Dad Earnie will go ballistic and write you a book.

But there are some, and whichever you are you are in good company here

Will not take the mark !!!!

If I am here the Lord will be with me no matter what happens,

The rapture question is another thread , but I do believe that christians will go threw at least part of the Trib and may have to face this question of the Mark!!!!

You should pray and hope that this is not true. Hasn't the LORD forgiven you for everything? Is this worse than murder or adultry? But the LORD'S grace is greater than you even know. Because when the LORD sends HIS two witness to tell you to throw down the mark of the beast (nation) and come out from among them and be separate. Then you should do it without hesitation. The mark is allready in your hand It was in your parents hand and in their parents hand.

In CHRIST JESUS

With all my heart, mind, body and soul I will refuse it. I would rather starve to death than to be consigned to hell. But in Truth I know I will not be alone. I will my Lord and Father looking out for me and my brothers and sisters.
