Ok, here is a question for you then.
What about people like me, that do not believe in "God" as he is presented in the biblical sense?
I believe in a God
But I don't believe in all of the "mark of the beast" or "antichrist" stories.
But I WILL NOT get the vaccine, regardless of what they take away from me.
So, what do you label it as, if you take all the biblical implications out of it?
(I am in no way mocking or making less of biblical religions, but I have seen the references to the "mark" several times here, and thought "How the heck could I be said to be taking the mark of a beast I don't even believe in?"

Lets assume the vaccine is the "mark of the beast". Lets also assume there is a God that is all knowing and all powerful and all that. Now, you're telling me a person who lives a good life, is a good person, and is tricked into getting the mark of the beast is going to be judged and condemned to hell by this benevolent God?
The path to hell is paved with good intentions.
But they weren't tricked - they chose convenience over conscience.....as most would admit if it wasn't for ra,ra,ra I wouldn't have taken it.

Sure, ignore it. That always makes the things you don't want to see disappear.
This was your original statement:
This vaccine is like a test run, a trial, a way to warm people up to accepting what they might not accept under normal circumstances
Logic would tell you a benevolent God would understand that otherwise good people were tricked.
But I forgot, you want to ignore logic.
Sorry FM
The vaccine is not the mark of the beast, I didn’t say that so why would I even assume something I don’t believe, it’s ludicrous to me
God allows free will, why would I assume God doesn’t
None of what you said is logic, it’s barely fanciful if not just blatantly farcical
The vax is the mark of the beast, what nonsense do you base that on, worshiping science, worshiping medicine, needles, doctors, what
Ignore logic, what logic have you offered?

The mark of the beast is a choice, do you chose the way of the beast or the way of the Lord, it separates Gods children here on Earth, there are two spirits, children of the Father and children of the creator, the children of the Father will refuse to worship the beast seeing him for who he is, "they wont be tricked by him".

No that's not true. We absolutely can judge good and evil for ourselves - sin. What we are not to do is condemn. Only He sits in that judgment seat.
No one knows who will and who won't go to hell for sure.

Oh, it will be obvious to anyone of good heart and soul that the Beast is evil and not something to worship.
If you have God's law written on your in-most being, you will know. You won't have to be formally His even. His children hear His voice and know Him. That won't change the reality that you will have acknowledge and welcome Christ as your Savior and Messiah, but there are children of His in all nations and among all peoples.

He will be so convincing as to even fool some of the elect.
