Paul talks about speaking with understanding, and so if we quote Scripture at all, it needs to be done in a comprehensible way, I guess.

Again the ignorant demand an answer to what? With an s without an s, come I don't what to stand before the one who has fire in His eyes and try to explain to Him why I have the blood of so many lost on my hands! Grow up and get out of your safety zone, you don't know who Christ is, what the blood is, and who the blood bought are. That is your testimony before the throne of God the Almighty, I can not give you credit for your bad testimony, it is you own doing, be proud for I don't care about an s ot the end or not! Trivial, childlike in thought! Testimony of Christ in you??????????????? Be blessed and knock the crap off. Be blessed if that is even possible, to your shame, He died for you and you are out of bounds, people don't get edified in this type of thread, people don't get the bread of life, or the water of life here, that get led away for the cross.
It is quite curious though to ponder rev(s?). 1;3,,,"blessed is he that readeth,and they that hear the (words,plural)of this prophecy(singular),and keep those things(plural) which are written therein(singular):for the time is at hand",,,,moreover the singular verses plural application in the statement,,,"and keep those things therein" is to imply that this book contains a "list of things that are being given to do or not do. I have never seen anyone take this book and make a list of things (exclusively written within it's text) that has been examined in the context of "things to keep (kept) therein",,,I wonder what we would find if we made a list of things from the book i.e.
A=(thing #1)
B=(thing #2)
ect.,ect.,,,,,,,,,,
A=(thing #1)
B=(thing #2)
ect.,ect.,,,,,,,,,,
Three pages on this ... wow
C'mon there is a lot more stuff to argue about in Revelation(s) than just the title.
Anyway Im going to leave now and go get a tattoo of 666 on my forehead so I can go to the store, then I can watch a third of mankind be stung be hairy horse scorpions ....

"and the pin-# i have in my forehead is 667?,668?,,,and no one can calculate it lest they have wisdom,,,I will slide it through the machine and enter the secret number of my name that I buy and sell with,,,the system that has swept the world over while we slept",,,,,
Oh good so we are already in the tribulation....hmm how many christians do not use a checking account to buy stuff?
well I don't have a debit card,,but I must admit it is getting tougher every day,that is they have told me i could no longer receive my s.c. unless i get one. Anyone who uses s.n.a.p. must have a pin#,and anyone required to file income-tax will soon(they say) be required to also(no more paper checks),,,,,I suppose we all have our Ideas,traveling in many nations I noticed that the only real system set up to buy and sell(world-wide) is the debit system.
I think that seeing God has said that many would receive this by "deception" it would make sense that many many would receive it before they even realized they were(christian or non christian),,we should bare in mind that the Jews do not follow the book of rev.(a christian book),nor do the Muslims so if the issue of the mark were to come up with any non-christian they would not believe in it anyway(so they would just take it),,,
So the warning to not receive the mark is (EXCLUSIVLY STATED ONLY TO THOSE WHO FOLLOW CHRISTIANITY),,,so it's good that you say,,"how many Christians",,,so if 1/2 the world are non christian(they would receive it),,but if the other half was christian how many of the remainder would receive it without understanding they did?,,,that is if it is a warning to only Christians and many are deceived,then a good amount of Christians would buy and sell with it.
So lets see,,,god said we would use it to buy and sell,,,so is it under a rock?,,,Is it hidden in the national archives?,,is it a certain day? well we don't buy or sell with things hidden under rocks,or things hidden in the archives,none of our money is good only on Sunday. So just exactly how do we buy and sell(meaning the whole world)?,,,,Lets open our purses and pull out our wallets and lay all of their contents out and examine it.,,,,hmm,,,we lay our drivers license out(we don't buy or sell with this),we lay out our s.s.c(we get to work,but actually don't buy or sell with this,and only the u.s. uses it anyway),AND WE ARE LOOKING FOR A SYSTEM WORLD-WIDE NOT JUST IN THE U.S.,,,so we then lay out the dollars,George,Cleveland ect.(Grover's on the 1000 dollar bill,I don't have any,lol),,,,but there's nothing in your purses,wallets(used world-wide) that you buy and sell with "EXCEPT YOUR DEBIT CARD'S",,,,,,I think the matter would be a whole lot simpler if we stopped to think,,,,"IF IT'S SOMETHING WE BUY AND SELL WITH,IT'S WHERE WE KEEP THE THINGS WE BUY AND SELL WITH,OUR WALLETS",,,,,Now which one of the things in our wallets also require us to have something in our fore-heads(i.e.pin),,,that gives us the power(right hand) to buy and sell(world-wide)?,,,,,,,,but like we know the warning of the mark is only going to be looked for/studied/feared by those of the christian faith,that is there is no "mark of the beast" warning in any other religion/faith,,,,,,
First off, its "on the forehead or back of hand" not in the forehead, your interpretation is a stretch.
Next, debit card use has been around for a lot longer than 7 years
Finally, i think you are causing yourself unnecessary paranoia over technological progress with the banking system.
If you are saved by blood of Christ, then unknowingly taking a "mark" cannot be held against you. Does not God say that "nothing can separate you from the love of Christ Jesus" ?

hmm,in the k.j.v. the text is (rev,13;16) ect,,,"to recieve a mark (in) their right hand (OR), (in)their foreheads.(notice the word "OR"),,,so not exclusively both(meaning one or the other),,,then in (rev.13;17),,"and no man might buy or sell,save he had the "MARK"(OR) the "NAME" of the beast(OR) the "NUMBER",of his "name",,,,,,
So this could be in two places (1) IN the forehead,,,OR (2) IN the right hand (rev.13;16)
and they do not have to have "ALL THREE" they could have only one of the three mentioned (rev.13;17),,,,the debit is "one of these,not all three",,,
In (rev.13;11-12),, in 11,"another beast",,then in 12, "and he exerciseth all the power of the (FIRST BEAST BEFORE HIM),and causeth the earth and them that dwell therein to worship the FIRST BEAST(whose deadly wound was healed).",,,,(see rev.13;3),,"ONE OF HIS HEADS,as it were wounded to DEATH:and his deadly wound was HEALED",,
So the "two horned beast",rises (after) the beast that rises from the sea(rev. 13;1-2),,,and he(the two horned beast),,,"exercises all of the power of the beast before him"(before him in time),,,and heals the deadly wound (of one of the heads,not the whole 7 headed beast),,and he "deceives" them that dwell on the earth(rev.13;14) and says that they should make an "Image of the beast" i.e.(one of the heads of the 7 headed beast,the one that was wounded),,
I will return later i have things I must go and do,,,,,,
