What if ; A Mark of the Spirit of Antichrist

It is also written that without the "mark of the beast" you won't be able to _buy or sell_.

In the parable of the ten virgins, the five unwise ones were told by the wise to go to those that

to see if they could buy something for their lamps so they could go out and seek the bridegroom too!

Do you think it meant that they should go to a store ? I don't really think so. It is very interesting that the wise virgins told the unwise virgins to

It is written that those who do not have the Mark of the Beast will not be able to buy and sell. So that would seem to indicate that the unwise virgins are being told to go to those who have the

It is also written " You have turned my Father's house, which is supposed to be a house of prayer into a den of thieves, ( a house of Merchandise" ) - ( a place where things are bought and sold)

Trademarks are what attorneys call "intellectual property", a broad term encompassing trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress ( for an example; the overall appearance and design of the "most famous" hamburger restaurant you can think of, it's patents, and trade secrets.)

All intellectual property has great value. It is the direct result of significant investments of time and money by a business.

Of all the intellectual property rights owned by a business, its trademarks are probably most important. A trademark identifies and distinguishes one company's product from those of another company.

Organized Religions, and their denominations could very well fit into this category. ________________________________________

A Trademark, or mark could be in your head, something that you trust in intellectually

and could also be symbolically held in your right hand as something you trust in, like a security blanket, or a simple handshake from someone you deem as having "importance", that you think you can trust in.

( do you remember the days when it was pretty much an accepted practice that a man's handshake was the seal of his promise. No written promises, but just a handshake that meant his word was good. To hold a man to his word, you just shook hands on it. )

What mark do you intellectually, and spiritually identify with and what security blanket do you hold in your right hand?

Would this mean not to have fellowship with other believers? No, it would not. We should meet with others who believe in Jesus. We are the body of Christ. What it would mean is that when you meet together with other believers, please do away with the "Titles of authority" the organized religious system has bestowed upon themselves.....Priest, Father, Bishop, Reverend, Pastor, Rabbi, Deacon, etc. It has always been that way among those of the world to have titles of authority but it should not be that way among us.

You also wouldn't refer to the place that you meet as the "temple" or the " so and so church" . Those of us who believe are the "church". Your body is the "Temple of the Holy Spirit". The place where you meet is nothing more than the building or house at a specific address. and you would practice keeping it that way. Stay away from being a personal "doctrine" know it all. Our fellowship is always to be directed toward helping others to trust the HOLY GHOST. If questions of doctrine arise, the best answer is to tell others to seek the Holy Ghost Only, and leave it at that. Share the ways you have found of listening to the Holy Ghost with them..

The real sanctuary of the church is inside of you. All the believers are there 24/7 (all the time} what I'm trying to say is: Don't try to make a man made version of it. Meeting with other believers is "exactly what it says it is ..... Just meeting with other believers.

And don't confuse it with building a : {"Sunday go to meeting style church"} or it will bite you.

You Never see "even ONE time" ...Jesus... calling anyone....yes, anyone... with a : "TITLE" OF PASTOR. ..Period.

Pastor is not a "Title of position". It is a protective Function, not a "Title" of position.. What am I saying? An example would be dignitaries, ambassadors, etc. They all have a protective group...body-guards....if you will. The body guards do not stand in front of the dignitaries and preach to them! The body guards are functioning quietly in the background......(This is what a "PASTOR" should be doing).....watching for the bad guys. Are they friends with the ambassadors? I'm sure they are. Do they talk with the ambassadors? I'm sure they do. .

Again...Bodyguards do not! .... do not! stand in front of Ambassadors and preach to them......

I know you can understand this. Their function is to warn you of the enemy when they see you are in danger, and to stop the bad guy. That is what the function of a True Shepherd is too.

"FUNCTION...FUNCTION...FUNCTION....FUNCTION".......... NOT .........."TITLE...TITLE...TITLE...TITLE"

You could also be in a position for right now, where you cannot seem to find others who really love God with all their heart to meet with. That's OK . You have your relationship with God, with Jesus, and with the Holy Spirit. Remember that we are scattered all over this world right now. The getting together with others is not more important than your relationship with God, so don't let it become the master and spoil your intimacy with God.

When you would meet, if contention and strife came up, then you would know that these things were not of the Holy Spirit. If it was because you were really dealing with a "snake in the grass", Beware of the "leaven" of the scribes and pharisees. Each of you should share your actions and insights with each other of how you are learning from the Holy Ghost. If someone comes in and wants to act like they are your dominate eye (sight giver) pluck them out. If someone comes in and act like they want to be your right-hand man, by their actions, then cut them off. Open your heart to the Holy Spirit and allow the Holy Spirit to show you how to handle that "snake".

The thing that has done the damage to believers is arguing over doctrine. Stay away from it and pass it on to others to stay away from the same temptation. That is "exactly " what the leaven of the scribes and pharisees is!

Yes, we all have our pet doctrines....but that is between ourselves and God Only. It's personal.

Simply this: God sent his only begotten Son to us to do what was necessary to accomplish the forgiveness of our sins so we would be able to receive the instruction of God Himself (the HOLY GHOST).

Receiving something and accepting something are the same thing. Receiving a mark in your right hand and accepting a mark in the right hand are the same thing

If you shake hands in agreement with a person who has a religious "Title of authority" aren't you showing them you trust, accept and receive them as an abiding spiritual director for yourself and others ?

If you call a person with a religious "Title of authority" by their title aren't you showing that you trust, accept and receive them as an abiding spiritual director for yourself and others, in your own head ?

The serpent in the Garden of Eden was the most subtle beast of all. Do you really believe he could fool any one by having them take a bar code or a computer chip in their hand or in their forehead without it being figured out.

Remember the deception that we were told of is so perfect that it could fool the "very" elect of God.

It would seem that those "Titles of authority" could reasonably be considered as a "Mark" or at least a sign of those who are false teachers; the wolves in sheep's clothing; the hirelings. We do know that the "spirit of antichrist" is already at work in this world.

We need to meet with each other and encourage each other; to continue worshiping God in the spirit; to remind each other that Jesus is returning soon. and to help bring the lost sheep into a relationship with God in the Holy Spirit. In Matthew, Jesus says to call "No man" a rabbi or teacher, because we have only "One" teacher.

Why would our adversary want to have "Titles of authority" bestowed upon those who probably in the onset of their relationship with God, really loved God and wanted to try to please God? Well, maybe because it is the only way our adversary could keep them "out of his way", and at the same time put them in a place he could keep them under his thumb. Our adversary is very subtle . It could be his way of buying off those who are void of understanding by giving them power and authority so they will subscribe to his plan; turning them into "hirelings"
