Here's something for you to think on Ed. The number of the beast is 666 and 666 is the number of a man (all men, putting man before God).
What belief systems put man before God? There are two major belief systems that put man before God and they are:
1) Atheist/Humanism (Atheism)
2) Neo-Platonism (Greek Philosophy)

Interesting but 6,000 years from when? Biblically speaking the earth is less than 10,000 years old but older then 6,000...ergo...
But I have never given much emphasis on Biblical age because I think God gave us science (where else would we get that Carbon has a element balance of 6?). And to take it a step further God is a scientist. You really can't pick and choose which science is truth and throw out that which does not follow scripture. Like the claims of evolution being false or “Carbon” dating not accurate or the age of the Universe. Science is not faith and can be tested, and retested.
Too me Dinosaurs were real creatures that lived not 4,000 years ago but 65 million years ago. They are not illusions here to trick us. The heavens i.e. the Universe is ancient 13 Billion years sounds good to me accurate maybe not but close I think. Evolution is a marvelous work and very creative if you ask me as is DNA. None of which would have been known without Science. And get this to me all this does is Prove God, how vast wonderful and magnificent Gods mind must be! Even if it was omitted or changed from the Abrahamic writings…

I hope you don't think it's a problem that science changes things when it discovers something new. That's what is great about science.

Well. buckle your seat belts because 6 years ago Paleontology got turned upside down on it's ear and many text books are having to be rewritten because of it.

Correct me if i am wrong, but doesnt the bible (all translations) say that this number,666, is that of a man. Singular. His number. Not men,or "mankind". I believe you added the word mankind unless your quoting from some version unknownedit on 30-12-2011 by Theophorus because: (no reason given)
What are you if you don't submit to Allah or the teaching of Muhammad? Now, do you really care? If not, now you know how I feel.

When Jesus spoke during his ministry concerning false prophets and hypocrits claming to be his children, he called them anti-christs and said that anyone who opposses him was anti-christ. The anti-christ are those who put themselves before him and do not submit to him, they are against him and his enemy.
See what I stated above.

Putting man before God is called Humanism, it is also called atheism. Atheists may claim theyre not putting themselves before God because they do not believe in him, but by not believing in him and not submitting they are in fact putting themselves before him.
Cool, all hail Lucy. Is it ok if I call him Lucy for short? Also, you are serving the devil because you do not submit to Allah. There are only 2 options. Again, I'm sure you don't care, and again now you know how I feel.

It is what it is, calling it a different name will not change the nature of what theyre doing. Theyre serving Lucifer wether or not they want to because there are only 2 options, Jesus or Lucifer, there is no 3rd option. if they choose the "3rd option" that defaults to Lucifer.

Since Atheism is a belief system, could you link me to the tenets and doctrines it prescribes to? I need to read up on them.
BTW, is saying that I don't believe in Santa Claus, or Allah, or Vishnu also a belief system?
Also Ed, I'm trying to figure out where you would wear this 666 you're talking about, as it is supposed to be on the forearm and the forehead, and used for buying and selling?edit on 30-12-2011 by Hydroman because: (no reason given)
Atheism does not equal humanism. Though humanists can be atheists. But let's say you're right in your assessment, which you aren't...but let's say you are. Who cares if I believe in myself and what I see, or have evidence for? That makes more sense to me. Otherwise I might as well believe in every single god ever thought of.

Yes it is a belief system. It's call Humanism. You believe only in yourself and what you can see. You have become your own god, your own "master" of your destiny.
How do you buy and sell with that again?

The mark of the beast that goes on your forehead is a metaphor for your self, your spirit and your beliefs (convictions). The mark of the beast that goes on your right hand is a metaphor for you works and your actions as in the days of old you worked by the sweat of your brow and you reaped what you had sown.
Did Lucifer help me pay for that elderly couple's dinner the other day, when I didn't even know them? If so, he doesn't seem so bad afterall.

So in essence what you have is, you are marked by Lucifer by your spirit/beliefs/conviction/conscience (your spirit is part of your personality) and by your actions towards others for your spirit guides your actions.
