No believer will take the mark of the beast. I am pre-trib in my thinking, but I know that many will be born again after the rapture, the entire nation of Israel. God will give every believer whatever he needs when he needs it to refuse to take the mark. We do not have to worry about whether we will be strong enough, Christ in us is strong enough. He never comes too soon to help us but He is always on time.
Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

Calvinism Makes No Sense
Calvinism makes no sense!
It makes no sense that God would determine someone to be a sinner on their way to hell without a choice and then punish them for the choice they could not make. This is not the God of the Bible.
Acts 16:31 "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
God told us to go into all the world and preach the gospel. What sense does it make to tell the truth to everyone, or to pray for everyone, when there would be those who have no ability to choose to follow Christ?
1 Timothy 2:1-4
New King James Version (NKJV)
Pray for All Men
"1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."
Calvinism is not only foolishness, it is clearly a way the devil has devised to cause many to care little about evangelism. Not only do Calvinists have little burden for souls, they have a lax attitude toward sin.
