I appreciate the bump and engagement Oz.

My concern is we exercise vigilance against the schemes of the enemy. My concern for those who think that Sabbath violating is the mark of the beast is that they will not see the danger of the type of mark I am describing and just think "hey....kewl tech!". I don't see the "Sabbath related mark of the beast" asserting itself to prevent buying or selling, but if it does I would certainly think back to these conversations and question my position.

I have thoughts based on scripture about the Sabbath that I would be happy to discuss in another thread...link to the one you follow and we can engage on that topic there if you are interested.
