If something like this would happen...

Hi someone shared this video, and I have no idea if this is true or not, but** IF **it will be true in the future, - do you think the Church would speak out against it?

just wondering what you all think
hope it doesn’t sound too much like a conspiracy theory…but the world is so far away from God that anything could happen, I suppose.

They said the same thing with SS, then CCs, Barcodes, etc, etc.

Protestants often seem to forget the positive corollary that counterpoises the ‘mark of the beast’:

Then I looked, and lo, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. Revelation 14

They’re so determined not to get a chip in their forehead that they never question whether they’ve received valid Confirmation or not! The mark of the beast only stands as an empty parody to the Sacraments of Christ that save us. The best commentary I’ve read on Revelation comes in the final chapters of The Lord by Romano Guardini. Scott Hahn is also good on this. The Antichrist is a person who will try to convince us that we will be fine without Christ. We already see precursors of this in our world. The whole chip thing is a distraction. We (I!) need to frequent the sacraments and pray more.

You know what’s funny??

In Roman times, at the height of christian persecution you had to have an affidavit with you that said you had worshipped either the emperor or his image (a statue). If you didn’t have that with you, you couldn’t buy or sell anything. You also were killed if you were found without one and you refused to bow to the image of the emperor. The mark of the beast may have already very realistically happened. I believe this was very popular under Nero, whose number (emperor number) was 666. hmmm.

There are a million conspiracy theories out there. The internet is NOT the mark of the beast. You can NOT have the mark of the beast accidentally. Scripture makes it clear that you had to intentionally and deliberatly walk away from God and worship a false god to fall in this category. You won’t lose your soul from going to disneyland, going online, or using a credit card. I do like that he spoke about the Obama administration wanting the chip mandatory. Antichrist conspiracy, anyone?

Burning in hell aside, the RFID wouldn’t be a good idea because any identity theif with a scanner can read your chip and steal your identity.
