How can atheists deny the Bible prophecy about the mark of the beast, in the future society will be chipped?

Answer 1

They just don't believe it. They think it is fiction, but we'll all see.

Answer 2

I wouldn't call that "pin point accuracy". He did not state the date of whom would be doing the killings. It would seem reasonable to me that Jesus would have been predicting something that was unavoidable. It was common knowledge that the Romans did not really like the Jews. It is also common knowledge that those that were Christian in those days were also despised by the Romans. And, since the Jewish faith is the foundation to Christianity, it would also be reasonable to think that the Romans would attack the Jewish places of worship as some sort of punishment to both parties. Granted, this is using the insight of history and examining the entire situation many eons in the future. All in all, it is nothing more than a prophecy of Nostradamus. If Jesus had stated the time, the day, the year, etc....then I would consider this pin point accuracy. EDIT: You actually had me going there for a while, until you began to quote other things said, and trying to apply them to this instance. That tells me that you don't entirely believe it either, and that you are frantically searching for something to be cohesive with your theory.

Answer 3

The Book of Revelation was written by a man named John (possibly John the Apostle) toward the end of his life. John records a vision he experiences, probably while dreaming or meditating. This vision contains a tremendous amount of symbolism; the same kind of symbolism one would see in a dream, a vision of the spirit world. In fact, the Book of Revelation contains the same symbolism found in the symbols in the Prophet Daniel's dream. All Biblical dreams, such as those of Joseph, Gideon, Daniel, Paul, and Peter, are very symbolic and therefore had a hidden spiritual meaning rather than a literal interpretation of the symbols. Such is the case with the Book of Revelation.

Seven candlesticks, seven spirits = Perfection, the divine number
Six = Imperfection, the number for humanity
Mark of the beast = The unevolved animalistic force within humans
Mark of the lamb = The evolved divine force within humans
666 = The unevolved animalistic force affecting the triune nature of humans (body, mind, spirit)

NOTE: I am not an Atheist. I believe in God.

Answer 4

There's no need for atheists to deny something the Christians have been wrong about out of ignorance many thousands of times in two thousand years to the point where you have no credibility. Go to the link below and "study to show yourself approved." St. John's Apocalypse is a political polemic written about emperor worship in Ephesus, not about the end of the world in the 21st century. Review how you hysterical superstitious types have gone twitchy for no reason again and again for 20 centuries.

Answer 5

Where in the bible does it say the mark of the beast is a computer chip?

Answer 6

Because I learned the ancient Greek alphabet corresponded numbers with letters and, suprise, surprise, Nero's full name was the equivalent of 666. Also, throughout history, various political figures have somehow been associated with it. In fact, Ronald Reagan's name, including the middle name, all had six letters; therefore, his name worked out to 666.
However, b/c there are so many ill-educated citizens in regards to 666, I doubt if we are chipped, it will in any conceivable way, reflect 666.

Answer 7

There have been many times in the past when people were absolutely certain it was the end times. The year 1000 was one of those. Its very easy to take Revelations and make it fit to any time that you live in. I have read Revelations and I dont see it to refering as today at all. Of course my eyes are blinded because I am an atheist. :-)

Answer 8

Easily. No prophecy is so definite as to be above questioning, and the stuff in Revelations is so metaphorical that one can draw almost any conclusion from it that one pleases. Given the hundreds of errors and scores of internal contradictions in the bible, it is foolish to believe any of it.

Answer 9

I'm a Christan, but the mark of the beast is not a computer chip.

Answer 10

Soon as they have implantible chips that actually DO something, hook me UP.

I want a computer with wi-fi and cellular modem connected to my skull and hooked directly into my brain.

By the way, Christianity is false. Mary nor Joseph were eligable to be parents to HaMosiach. Joseph's geneology includes Jochiem, who was cursed by God to never have another King of Israel (Mosiach) in his line, and Mary's geneology comes from David but not through Solomon, which was required of HaMosiach.

Considering the figurehead of the whole religion is a liar and deceiver, why should I believe anything that came from his religion?

Answer 11

Easy. 2 choices:

1) Self Fulfilling prophecy

2) Coincidence
