It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

Two part prophecy update videos from JD Farag back in January discussing the mark of the beast and vaccines. I thought you might find them interesting.

The original text reads in greek ἐπὶ (epi) which means "on, to,against, on the basis of, at" according to biblehub.

https://biblehub.com/interlinear/revelation/13-16.htm

https://biblehub.com/greek/epi_1909.htm

It can be translated as "in", or "on" or "at" and generally translators try to use context to decide which translation seems most appropriate. In this instance, it is difficult to determine which translation the context favors.

If you look at the word for "mark" which is χάραγμα (charagma) you will see that it refers to "Sculpture; engraving, stamp, or sign. Same as Charax; a scratch or etching, ie Stamp, or sculpted figure." and generally seems to give a concept of a mark being engraved or etched into a stone or statue surface, but could indicate a superficial marking ON an object (stamp) OR a marking IN an object (engraving).

You reminded me of this video I saw last year and it took over an hour for me to find it again. It is a lecture regarding the reliability of new testament manuscripts.

How Badly Was the New Testament Corrupted? | Veritas at SDSU (2018)

I know its long but I hope you might take the time to watch it as I found it to be very interesting. (Yes, I watch 2 hour long lectures for fun, don't judge me 😜)

Why do they think he needs $50k when Floyd's family received a $27 million settlement from the city of Minneapolis? They can afford to hire as many lawyers as they want.

One time I was loading gaw and noticed the connection was showing as not secure and it showed a certificate from facebook. After doing a spyware scan and clearing cookies it stopped.

I recently watched an interesting video by Ryan Pitterson discussing this passage and thought I would share it.

Notable among the array of techniques used in the covid-19 pandemic response is Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

It is interesting to consider that the covid vaccines introduced the anacronym NLP (nano lipid particles) into the zeitgeist while NLP (neuro linguistic programming) was being employed.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." - Ephesians 6:12

Make no mistake that we are in a spiritual war against an unseen but very real enemy.

The worshipers of Satan pray to these principalities and know them by name, and we are entirely ignorant of them.

Listen to the testimony of this ex-satanist who gave his life to Jesus Christ.

"I'd be up all night long praying and talking to the devil when Christians can't even go to church for one hour, when Christians can't even pray for one hour." - John Ramirez

This is called a rhetorical appeal to emotion or pathos. The rhetorical triangle consists of Logos (appeal to logic), Ethos (appeal to authority / credibility), and Pathos (appeal to emotion).

Generally an appeal to emotion is considered to be the strongest type of appeal and an appeal to logic is the weakest when attempting to persuade average persons.

I personally am most persuaded by logic and least persuaded by emotion.

You should generally attempt to appeal to all three when forming arguments before a group of people with a bias towards emotional appeals.

If you find this interesting I suggest doing further reading on the topic of "rhetoric."

I had a coworker years back working at a carwash who was an illegal Mexican immigrant. He showed me his fake green card one day and I recall that it said:
