The Mark of the Beast is a mark.
Stick to the Bible.
Revelation 13:14-17 KJV
14) And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15) And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16) And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17) And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Much love!
You have the Scriptures, simply receive them as written, in the normal way the language was used at that time.What mark is it exactly? Is it something physical that needs to be placed on the "right hand" or "forehead?" What is God's definition of the mark in Scripture?
That seems to answer this matter with finality in my thinking.No, it is not money. The bible literally says it is a mark on the hand or forehead and controls buying and selling. Even Jesus used money. Did he have the mark?

Do you find your diatribe convincing? I don't. I've already given you the answer. That you don't like it and continue to want to dance around it has no appeal to me.Clearly, you are stonewalling. Are you so fearful to answer with Scripture, as I asked, to prove whether you truly understand what the mark is as God Himself defined it? Your refusal to give an honest, Scripture-based answer only exposes that you do not understand and instead cling to your false interpretation. Do not parade ignorance as if it were wisdom.
Much wisdom!

The mark is exactly what the Bible says it is.
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Hold on!You just can’t handle being criticized for a wrong interpretation. Simple as that.
What do you mean by this exactly?You have the Scriptures, simply receive them as written.
I don't see how that is a difficult sentence. But I'm not planning on getting into some dispute with you.What do you mean by this exactly?
Wow. So judgmental. I was not looking to get into some dispute. I asked a simple, harmless question. I don't know what you meant by what you said, so I'm asking for clarification. You want me to just guess then? Do you mean to receive the scriptures as written literally or to receive them according to the genre of text that they are written in, whether it be literal, symbolic, metaphorical, poetic, hyperbolic or apocalyptic?I don't see how that is a difficult sentence. But I'm not planning on getting into some dispute with you.
Much love!

Actually, it is YOU who has to wear a lifejacket because you keep falling off the boat—every single time you’re asked a simple question, you refuse to answer. The real issue is your pride. You clearly don’t know the answer, and everyone here can see it plainly! So much for your wisdom.

There's that whacked mindset again. Childish, just childish and immature.
Oh? How about you, then? Can you answer my question about the mark that "Marks" couldn't?
... the mark that "Marks" couldn't? -- sounds like a Nursery rhyme doesn't it brethren?
