Are you a Christian? Can I show you it is so with Bible verses that prove it or do you need some other kind of convincing....?
Hell is not eternal....the consequences for ones actions are forever (they will be erased from existence and never to be given a second chance), not the punishment itself. I can prove this much further through proper verse presentation if you desire as well.
The reason I don't give people the super-short summary version without the supporting evidence attached is because people would find it too unbelievable if I do.
How much of the body of my argument in the thread did you read?....I am not so much making a proposal but rather telling you what I know will happen, it is then up to you to voice what area you would like more information in and then for me to provide it for you.

How many folks worship money? They glorify this paper crap like its god. They worship it. In my mind, the mark of the beast is already here.

MONEY on your mind.... you take it up with your palm.
Case dismissed.
Now go consume.
citizenship is normally associated with the right to work and live in a country and to participate in political life.
A national identification number, national identity number, or national insurance number is used by the governments of many countries as a means of tracking their citizens, permanent residents, and temporary residents for the purposes of work, taxation, government benefits, health care, and other governmentally-related functions. The number will appear on an identity document issued by a country.

Actually, the "we" refers to the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Spirit - they are three individual sub-entities that make up the one Godhead. Furthermore, there are vast uses of the royal "we" to refer to single entities within the word.
It's not polytheistic in the least. It's like a puzzle with 3 pieces - they are each individual from one another, but all part of one image.
Keeping His commandments doesn't refer to being nit-picky about the particular day, it's the observance that shows your faith, not the day you take it on - you should be showing your dedication, praise, worship, and prayerfulness in your daily life anyway, and not just on the chosen Sabbath day. The commandment actually means you should take A DAY off a week to rest and worship God.
The day you take Sabbath on doesn't matter, and yes, I do know the Lord. You are all acting like a bunch of Pharisees. Jesus himself went against the notions of the Jews regarding the Sabbath by showing His authority over it. While He didn't do actual work on the Sabbath, He performed healings and miracles on the Sabbath, which infuriated the Jews at the time because they thought both that He was working, and that by doing so He was breaking the Sabbath.
His death and resurrection created a new covenant that superseded the entirety of the old law. While He does instruct us to follow the 10 commandments, as they are correct in their rules for living a Holy life, nowhere is it referred to as losing your salvation or whatever happens if you break one law, step on one crack, take Sabbath on a day other than the first of the week, etc.
If this were the case, we'd all have to recommit our lives to Jesus thousands of times a day for every sin we commit, instead of simply praying according to the Lord's prayer. By your logic, people then too would have to be considered marked by the beast any time they sin. Use a curse word? Hell for you. Skip church? Hell for you. - BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THAT, Jesus came to forgive us and provide blanket forgiveness for our blood debts to God.
Can you deny the bible?

Seventh-day Adventists claim to be the last church before the second advent.
The last church Revelation identifies as Laodicea.
Is the Seventh-day Adventist church Laodicea?

speeding up our conscious evolutionary process which peaked during the times of Babylon when God saw what happened and saw that our evolution happened at an increased and unsafe rate and so he spread out mankind over all of the Earth and changed our language around so that we wouldn't do the same mistake again to try to reach up to his divine level too quickly
The Bible could have been altered by Lucifer himself over the ages, correct?
praise nobody but the almighty creator himself. Not jesus,
John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
John 6:46 Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father
Colossians 1:15,16 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
Hebrew 1:1-3 1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Jesus defied the church leaders of the time by doing "work" (miracles) on the Sabbath. How does that fit into your theory? Jesus never sinned yet he didn't follow the old laws on what can be done on the Sabbath. Blows up your whole premise.
They began to accept the traditional christian holidays
Both weekly (7th day) AND annual (Feast of Unleavened Bread x2, Pentecost, Atonement, Feast of Trumpets, Feast of Tabernacles and the Last Great Day) Sabbaths were commanded to be kept as a "sign" of God's people forever and throughout your generations.
In a nutshell, here is the prophetic significance of each of the seven Levitical feasts of Israel:
1) Passover (Leviticus 23:5) – Pointed to the Messiah as our Passover lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7) whose blood would be shed for our sins. Jesus was crucified on the day of preparation for the Passover at the same hour that the lambs were being slaughtered for the Passover meal that evening.
2) Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:6) – Pointed to the Messiah's sinless life (as leaven is a picture of sin in the Bible), making Him the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Jesus' body was in the grave during the first days of this feast, like a kernel of wheat planted and waiting to burst forth as the bread of life.
3) First Fruits (Leviticus 23:10) – Pointed to the Messiah's resurrection as the first fruits of the righteous. Jesus was resurrected on this very day, which is one of the reasons that Paul refers to him in 1 Corinthians 15:20 as the "first fruits from the dead."
4) Weeks or Pentecost (Leviticus 23:16) – Occurred fifty days after the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and pointed to the great harvest of souls and the gift of the Holy Spirit for both Jew and Gentile, who would be brought into the kingdom of God during the Church Age (see Acts 2). The Church was actually established on this day when God poured out His Holy Spirit and 3,000 Jews responded to Peter's great sermon and his first proclamation of the gospel.
5) Trumpets (Leviticus 23:24) – The first of the fall feasts. Many believe this day points to the Rapture of the Church when the Messiah Jesus will appear in the heavens as He comes for His bride, the Church. The Rapture is always associated in Scripture with the blowing of a loud trumpet (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:52).
6) Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27) – Many believe this prophetically points to the day of the Second Coming of Jesus when He will return to earth. That will be the Day of Atonement for the Jewish remnant when they "look upon Him whom they have pierced," repent of their sins, and receive Him as their Messiah (Zechariah 12:10 and Romans 11:1-6, 25-36).
7) Tabernacles or Booths (Leviticus 23:34) – Many scholars believe that this feast day points to the Lord's promise that He will once again “tabernacle” with His people when He returns to reign over all the world (Micah 4:1-7).

You NAILED it! (more correctly God revealed this truth to you powerfully)
Well done, your research is exceptional and you have gathered so much fact regarding this truth it is impressive.
Mark of God = Sabbath keeping
Mark of the Beast (mankind) = Sunday worship
The mark is on your hands (what you do) and in your foreheads (how you think).
Follow this path before you and you will find the small flock of God's church on Earth and God's 2 end time prophets, of which this truth has been revealed and prooven. from your post
When the church leaders asked Jesus what was the most important law, did he say "You must honor the Sabbath on Saturday or you will all be condemned to eternal damnation."? Nope.
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Master, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
The dogma of a trinity also comes from the Catholic church it is not in scripture; although some verses have been mistranslated to allow for this to be thought of as scriptoral, the oringial Greek will reveal the trinity as having only authority in the Catholic Church, not God.
