Mark of the Beast - Update pg 10 - The A.I. Religion

Another article outlining Musk's vision to merge humans with computers:

Elon Musk Lays Out Plans to Meld Brains and Computers

Here are some excerpts for the TLDR crowd:
Neuralink’s goals are arguably bolder than Tesla’s plans of mass-market electric vehicles or SpaceX’s ambitions to send humans to Mars. As Mr. Musk describes it, Neuralink wants to develop brain interfaces that would effectively replace human language as we know it.

“There are a bunch of concepts in your head that then your brain has to try to compress into this incredibly low data rate called speech or typing,” Mr. Musk told Mr. Urban in his 36,000-word blog post, which at times reads like a neuroscience textbook. “That’s what language is, your brain has executed a compression algorithm on thought, on concept transfer.

“If you have two brain interfaces, you could actually do an uncompressed direct conceptual communication with another person,” Mr. Musk said. He explained how it would be easier if people could beam a picture into the heads of others instead of trying to describe it with words.

Block Chain Technology and The New Internet

This excerpt specifically caught my attention:

Today, we empower institutions to guard the trust. We pay them royally for that service, because without trust, there is no business deal, no stamp on a passport, no line of credit, and no peace treaty.

But what happens when we create universal identity — a common and accepted baseline of trust, that exists without need for authority? What if we build a system that is inherently logical, programmable, and safe? What if everyone could share it, access it, and help grow it, all at the exact same time?

This may be viewed as tangential...but it nudges a universal identification agenda.

JetBlue and Delta Test Biometric Scanning to Replace Boarding Passes

A custom-designed camera will take a photo and transmit it to U.S. authorities to compare against databases of passport, visa and immigration images. A display above the camera will notify travelers when they can board. New York-based JetBlue is working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and SITA, an information-technology provider for airlines.

Our enslavement will come with the promise of safety and convenience.

the beast in the context is the roman church.

that is whos mark you need to find.


not some random tech company.

I don't deny the role that the RCC has in eschatology.
However, the bible specifically describes the mark of the beast as a method to control buying and selling. That is going to be possible with digital currency very soon.

1st off, there is more then only the mark that will prevent buying or selling.

"save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."

that is what the bible actually sais.

noone without the mark, name of the beast (rcc) or number can buy or sell.

that does not mean the mark, name or number is what actually prevents buying and selling.


you mistake enforcement of the mark (chip,rfid,tattoo ect) for the mark itself.

The mark is sin. The breaking of Gods law. Not a chip.

Revelation 13:16-17
16Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

Now that we have that in front of us...please elaborate on your point.

Nothing is in need of elaboration.

It is quite simple.

You mistake enforcement of the mark (chip,rfid,tattoo, digital currencies ect) for the mark itself.

The mark is sin. The breaking of Gods law. Not a chip.

You have been told this by many people much smarter then me.

What chance would I have to get it through to you if they could not.

This is the mark of the beast...

Charagma, it's the one who's law you follow. I posted a link to Graceandtruth.net earlier, the guy has so much content and Truth on this subject.

Let me see if I follow what you are saying:

No one will be able to buy or sell unless they sin. Using the main thrust of the video that you linked: We will not be able to buy or sell unless we have a mark that indicates that we are worshipping on Sunday. Is that right?

Boz, I didn't watch the video. Is that what it's saying? The whole ridiculous Sunday worship issue?

Yep...at least that is what I saw...that is why I am checking for understanding.
As if we should only worship God on one day each week. Every day we should worship him, praise him, thank him, love him, and treasure him above all things.

It is not about worshiping everyday (which we should do)

It is about not following mans laws in place of Gods.

Gods seal/sign/mark of His authority over us is His 7th day sabbath

Romes (the beast) mark of authority over us is the 1st day counterfeit day.

"Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act... And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things." H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons. Nov. 11, 1895

"Sunday is our MARK of authority. . .the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact" Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1,1923.

The mark of the beast is sin. Nothing more. Nothing less.


God gave us the warning for a reason. It is about obedience. To the Law God wrote in stone with His own finger.

Enforcement of the mark is another topic.

No.

[link to graceandtruth.net]

grace and truth guy is a wolf if he teaches we can break Gods 10 commandments.


*fun fact for anyone who never actually read a bible. The Sabbath was instituted before sin ever entered this world.

It has NOTHING to do with sin. It never did, and never will.

Christ did not "remove" it due to sin, or His death or any other out of context reading of scripture.

Satan hates the Law of God. The RCC (the beast) hates the Law of God. Wolves in sheeps clothing hate the Law of God.


God wrote His 10 laws in Stone. With His own hand.

The phrase "written in stone" should ring a bell for a reason.

*If* he teaches... So you clearly didn't watch.

Anyone who actually reads the Bible? That's hilarious. Do you ever hear something that you think, if that person only knew who they were saying that to?

Listen to the video. You might learn something. He may be a kook, but if so you've only given an hour and a half of your life.

Yes, the video is blah blah Jesus is our sabbath. More lies from the enemy that have infected this sick planet.

Jesus is the Creator, savior of mankind, King of kings and Lord of lords.

Not a day of the week.


This evenings sundown, the weekly Sabbath of the 4th commandment begins.

Perhaps today, for the first time in ones life, it is time to follow Joshuas spoken example.

"but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."


....or follow romes/satans example and do as you please

Here are some of the things that don't make sense to me:

The mark of the beast is sin.
Sabbath law-breaking as a special class of sin/iniquity that will keep you from knowing God.
Removing the clear link that scripture provides relating the mark of the beast to buying and selling.

One of the distinctives of faith that might be causing our disconnect is I believe salvation is monergistic not synergistic. A synopsis of the difference is this:
Monergism - God saved me by overcoming my will and creating in me a new heart that desired him over the self-serving life I knew before.
Synergism - I was saved by God when I used my free will and chose God and he responded by creating in me a new heart that desired him over the self-serving life I knew before.

On that basis...my understanding is that it was by grace I have been saved, not by works so that I cannot boast. With my life ransomed by Jesus Christ, I am now being transformed by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the renewal of mind by the reading of his word.

The law is incapable of saving anyone. The law exists only to point out that we are incapable of the perfection that God requires, so all of our hope resides in the propitiation of our sin by Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ demonstrated that he came to fulfill the law and demonstrated how it was a shadow of things to come. Examples:
Murder - Abusive talk and thoughts of hatred
Adultery - Looking at someone with lustful thoughts
Our lives should be a never-ending Sabbath of rejoicing, prayer, and giving thanks to God. We are not saved by adhering to laws...we are saved by the grace and mercy of God. Our obedience to him, is based on our desire to put him above all things...placing him at the forefront of all thoughts.

This might be a TLDR kind of post...but I thought it was worth sharing.

This is a major problem in the churches today.

The out of context teachings of what that meant.

Jesus did not come to "fulfill" Gods 10 commandments.

He came to "fulfill" the sacrificial laws that were only prophecies of Him.

The feast days, the offerings for sin ect.

That is the law Jesus came to fulfill.


Daniel 9 : 27 - And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease

3 1/2 years into Jesus giving the gospel of the kingdom of God to the Hebrews he was murdered. Or, "sacrificed"

The temple veil rent in two, and the sacrificial system ended right there and then.


Jesus came to fulfill the sacrifical law.

Jesus obeyed the Moral Law of Gods 10 commandments. (if He didnt, how then could He be the sacrifice?)


The bible sais, 1 class of human and 1 class only will not receive the mark of the beast. Only 1 !

Revelation 14 : 12

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.


He warned, until heaven and earth passed away not 1 jot or title was being removed from the Law of God.

Earth is still here.

You are removing from scripture the warning that not only the mark, but also the beasts name and number are part of the prophecy. Not only the mark (yet that is all people speak of. weird)


And again, you are mistaking "enforcement" of the mark with "what" the mark is.

They are separate issues.

Not understanding the difference between the Law God wrote in stone with His own finger, and the law He gave to Moses to write on scrolls leads to terrible errors of understanding.


Take Colossians 2 : 16 - 17 for example. Another verse taken so terribly out of context it must make the angels cringe as they hear men speak in error about it.


"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ"


Paul is speaking of the ceremonial law. He is telling people, the ceremonial law was done away with. It was simply a shadow leading to Jesus.


The meat offerings.
The drink offerings.
The new moons.
The sabbaths(feast days were also called sabbaths)


Paul is not saying, eat whatever you want. Pork, shellfish ect is now clean.

No.

He is saying, do not worry about keeping the meat laws regarding the sacrifical law. Christ fulfilled them.

Same with drink laws. Same with new moons. Same with feast days.


It has nothing to do with unclean foods or the 4th commandment.


2 laws.

One God wrote with His own finger in stone and was place IN the ark.

One God told Moses to write on scrolls and place at the side of the ark.

2 laws. Christ obeyed the 1st, fulfilled the 2nd.

2 Peter 3:3 Knowing this first that in the last days there shall come scoffers, walking after their own lusts

Sabbath does NOT mean seven, it means REST. Look it up.

We are to rest daily in the will of God. Entering into His rest. Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

Heb 4:1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

(The mark of the beast is the seal of God born by the angels... We have no mark of the beast down here, in hell, for we're not in the book of life i.e., in heaven).

The STRENGTH OF SIN
is the law

I would not HAVE KNOWN COVETING except the law said Do Not Covet

The law is not sin. Be clear on this point
But the strength of sin IS THE LAW

From Silicon Valley startups to the U.S. Department of Defense, scientists and engineers are hard at work on a brain-computer interface that could turn us into programmable, debuggable machines.

Thank you AC!

I was just getting ready to update the thread when I saw this article.

Here are the excerpts that I thought were especially relevant:

Darpa has also committed $60 million to create what’s known as a “direct cortical interface,” a brain-computer connection unlike any that exists today. Neural implants like Emily Borghard’s can stimulate and record from just a handful of neurons. Darpa hopes to create a neural interface that can connect to as many as one million neurons.

A direct cortical interface is the goal of Neuralink, the latest moonshot startup from the serial entrepreneur Elon Musk. Neuralink is pursuing what Musk has described as “neural lace” technology—billions of tiny brain electrodes that may one day allow us to upload and download thoughts. Musk has said that his goal is “uncompressed” communication of thoughts between people—the ability to communicate concepts without first expressing them in language. To hear Musk tell it, he’s trying to replace texting with telepathy. “Your output level is so low, particularly on a phone, your two thumbs just tapping away,” he said last June. Neuralink declined to offer any compressed communication in the form of a comment for this article.

Kernel founder Bryan Johnson hosts regular dinner parties of intellectuals, scientists and entrepreneurs where, he says, the conversation often turns to his work. His guests accept that brain-computer interfaces are coming but are troubled by the ethics.

James Giordano, chief of the neuroethics studies program at Georgetown University, agrees. “Like it or not,” he says, “neurotechnology is happening. The cat is already out of the bag. It’s foolish if not naive to think you can stop it.”

Human enhancement will sell the mark to the masses...



Who needs most of the cheesy crap in that list...just think about this: Instantaneous access to the Internet by thought alone. That chip will make people mental "gods" compared to those of us who will access the Internet manually (assuming the Internet will continue to support the manual method...)

Ok...check this out:
The promise that Collective Consciousness will "replace God".

FRANKFURT - Humanity no longer needs God but may with the help of artificial intelligence develop a new form of collective consciousness that fulfills the role of religion, U.S. author Dan Brown said on Thursday.

That goes right along with what I am envisioning as the irresistible Mark of the Beast. One that has such tremendous value...only people who are insane will refuse it.
