But, he can throw some big stumbling blocks in front of the unwary. And, many are working for him without having any understanding they are doing so, just like the religious leaders of Jesus's day.
He told them Satan was their master, they then turned on Him. That goes for a whole lot of people, including many "Christians" today, I fear.

The Great Deceiver has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. I think most men fall into his clutches to one degree or another.
But, with prayer, and God, "ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE."
Christ preached unconditional Love. Anyone who moves off that position is moving away from Him.
Look at our world, what our Nation's wealth and power is being spent to accomplish.
It is a dark world, and
we must ALL do better!
That's what my heart says, and when I grow close to the Prince of Peace I feel it even more....
I agree with the thrust of your ideas, but Revelation makes it clear that receiving "the Mark" is an unforgivable sin, so perhaps there is a technical aspect to it that slams the door of consciousness, of conscience, shut to the potential of the voice of the Holy Spirit inner calling us to turn away from rebellion and selfishness to true repentence and faith.
The question is, was the jab the sign of the beast, or merely a precursor? Jesus warned us that there would be many false prophets, etc. I think this was a trial balloon by the antichrist, and he found a very fertile field. God save the rest of us, and may He continue to provide us with strength and wisdom.
The only unforgivable sin, according to Jesus, was the sin against the Holy Spirit.
How did people at the time He was speaking understand the Holy Spirit?
It was the connection between God and humanity.
It gives us conscience. The ability to know right from wrong. Thats innate, and divine, if the channel is open. What is the only requirement to forgiveness? Repentance.
But, if you no longer can comprehend the difference between right and wrong, you'll never even know to ASK for forgiveness!
That's why the sin against the Holy Spirit is "unforgivable."
It breaks the connection that allows us to truly understand and discern our sins. Our mistakes. Our errors.
And, it seems Rudolph Steiner was correct- the tech the dark side is deploying may seal off the connection.
That would be diabolical indeed. But, with man, alone, reaching the Kingdom of Heaven is Impossible, but with God, ALL things are possible.
So, even if you cannot sense His presence, believe and pray. It works. (I know from experience.) : ))
They are putting it in our food. Even if we grow our own gardens they spray the skies. Their evil knows no bounds. As Gates said, "you won't have a choice."

"Between the saddle and the ground, forgiveness sought and forgiveness found."
Yes. Always.

This is such a great thread! Thanks to all.

Excellent!
