And you don't think being fed or injected with a nanochip so that at the very least you might be tracked isn't on the same level as a "spot" or "mark" as mentioned? Evil would dearly love to bring the entirety of Revelations to pass, if only they could…
So, when our Father gave us a mind to learn, the ability to discern, he didn't expect us to use them…but to follow rote and verse and never think for yourselves or question the narrative. What if Jesus ain't exactly God, but made it his business to know him? What if you can, indeed, know everything Jesus knew and then some? Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name…Jesus called our Creator our Father. He's my Father, too. Even yours.
Someone gives you gifts like life, or a mind, isn't it an insult if you don't use them?
