While I don’t think that a biometric hand scanner is the mark of the beast.

I think the issue was that the company stored his biometric data. I could see many people, religious and agnostic alike having a problem with this.

The ones mentioned in the very first verse of Revelation.

Not sure about that. But anyone who takes a hard look at what the social security number has become must at the very least be concerned that it could be the mark. And knowing the consequences of accepting it why would you chance perdition?

You mean people who eschewed paying taxes while still remaining in the purview of the benefits system?

maybe you should read your Bible before you go all over this guy. Start in Revelation.

I mean, with regard to this thread, what was the historical mark of the beast?

I’m not challenging you. I’m just curious.

So the whole concept that a business must make “reasonable accommodations” is not on your radar? Why couldn’t the company issue him a badge instead?

If we begin at the first verse, instead of skipping ahead to “the good stuff” and trying to fit the Revelation of Jesus Christ into the current headlines, we won’t be misled by those who are always on the look-out for the mark of the beast. Whether we know what it was or not, we can’t be led astray if we stay with the Scriptures.

We use our badges, just place the back of our badge in front of the reader and click door opens.

As I understand it, we are going to be raptured out of here before anything bad happens. I have heard preachers say that you don't even have to read the book of revelations. So why worry about it?

Have you compared what they say against the Scriptures?

When Paul preached to the people in Berea, they "searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so." (Acts 17:11)

I've heard some preachers preach about tribulation and rapture from Matthew 24, and completely ignore the time element of that prophecy too. We've got to check out everything preached, or we'll fall prey to their false doctrine.

Well, it is true that Title 42, United States Code, Section 666 pretty much requires all Americans to get a social security number.

And, as a practical matter, you can’t work without a SSN, and if you can’t work, you can’t buy anything unless you’re on welfare, which also requires a SSN.

A request by IT security is hardly the same thing as a random government agency coming in nefariously.

I work in IT for a state agency. We have connections to hospitals because that’s the nature of things these days. Hospitals have connections and computers in our state facilities that we’re not allowed to touch. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

Won’t God forgive us if we are worshiping Satan when he is cast out?

“That is why the strong opposition to the use of the biometric scanner. “

What is the objection?

They offered him the option of using his left hand but he quit instead.

Changing the location of the insertion is not an accommodation.

If God doesn’t exist, you’re right.

But if God exists there’s a very good chance the book of Revelation is accurate. In this scenario, doubters are truly the ones who are absolutely nuts.

So you see, it depends on which premise you start with.

You need to know your Bible before you go ballistic. It is not just the number. Revelation talks about the number being in the "right hand or forehead", in other words, the number is to be physically attached, written or embedded in some way into the body. That is why the strong opposition to the use of the biometric scanner.

without a surgically embedded microchip of some sort there should be no problem...retina scans, fingerprint recognition...no big deal. Even facial recognition technology is not a violation....go to work or quit the job, don't expect the world to comply with your every need.
