Are we voluntarily branding ourselves with the mark of the beast when we sign up for a walmart credit card?

Question

Some say walmart is taking over the world. Eventually, we won't be able to buy, sell or trade without one.

Answer 1

If Walmart were a country, they would be China's 5th largest trading partner. It is impossible to compete with them. They control every aspect of retail from the supplier to their employees and even their customers.
It's come down to two choices for consumers. Pay more and shop elseware, or pay less and, as you say, dance with the devil.

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

no. Walmart, used to be a store for the lower class, the man who started walmart was very religious and believed in jesus christ. However i cannot speak for all of his Managers.

Walmart looks to spread Peace among the nations, not war. the best way to establish peace in an economic world is to establish freindship with enemies and to establish this through Trade and commerce.

the chinese people are not enemies to God or americans, however, Governments that follow satan are enemies of every country. Even when the reign in unrighteous dominion over their own country, or in the example of Pres Bush, They attent the Bohemian Grove aand believe in a one world government that is not trying to rule the world through satan means and satanic worship

Answer 4

No. Walmart is not the beast. I think the jesus fish symbol is the mark of the beast, and sometime in the future, one cannot buy, sell or trade without belonging to that club.

Answer 5

I always thought it was owning a car.

I don't think God nor Jesus would think very much of the Internal Combustion Engine.

What if GOD decides the MARK OF THE BEAT is GM, Ford, Honda, Toyota, BMW, etc.

Wouldn't that be something!

I can just see the Christians and Jews cringing if that were announced by Peter at the Gates.

Answer 6

no
The Mark Identified

Immediately after disclosing the number 666, Revelation mentions 144,000 followers of the Lamb, Jesus Christ, who have his name and the name of his Father, Jehovah, written on their foreheads. These names identify the bearers as belonging to Jehovah and to his Son, about whom they proudly bear witness. Likewise, those having the mark of the beast proclaim their servitude to the beast. Thus, the mark, whether on the right hand or on the forehead, figuratively speaking, is a symbol that identifies its bearer as one who gives worshipful support to the beastlike political systems of the world. Those having the mark give to “Caesar” that which rightly belongs to God. (Luke 20:25; Revelation 13:4, 8; 14:1) How? By giving worshipful honor to the political state, its symbols, and its military might, to which they look for hope and salvation. Any worship that they render the true God is merely lip service.

In contrast, the Bible urges us: “Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.” (Psalm 146:3, 4) Those who heed that wise counsel are not disillusioned when governments fail to deliver on their promises or when charismatic leaders fall from grace.—Proverbs 1:33.

This does not mean that true Christians sit back and do nothing about mankind’s plight. On the contrary, they actively proclaim the one government that will solve mankind’s problems—God’s Kingdom, which they represent.—Matthew 24:14
