(Rev. 13:16) “And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.”
Theologians discussed long time, what it is. But that’s simple: the mark of the forehead is a scientific degree, a mark that you have a working forehead. The mark of the right hand is the mark that you have worker skills.
Does it mean that a PhD person cannot be saved? Of course not: (Rev. 14:11) “And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name.” The word translated here as “receives” is Greek “lambano”, meaning “actively lay hold of to take or receive,” or “aggressively (actively) accepting what is available (offered)”. This means that you accept the mark of the beast, if you receive your salary (especially, a PhD salary that may be available to you) and take it, instead of giving it for a project that liquidates separation of people to PhDs and non-PhDs. If you are in your PhD carrier and don’t allocate money for killing this separation, you simply go to the hell, for being on the devilish side.
I call you now to change your faith from receiving money only to stopping laying hold of it, but instead giving to the project that stops separation of the world. Jesus dies for sins of whole world (incorrect translation: entire world), and if the world you live in is not heading to wholeness, then you will go to the hell. Your need in your faith that the world needs to be made whole, and only living faith (leading to particular deeds) can save you.
Whether you are yourself a PhD or non-PhD, if you don’t war against this fascist separation, you are doomed to the hell together with all fascists. If you simply pronounce, “All people should have equal rights.”, it does not help you, to separate from fascists you need to act actively.
Why, would you ask, separation to PhDs and non-PhDs is so bad? It’s because ordered semicategory actions were discovered by a non-PhDs, and thus most of the future science was lost for the world. This is called in Revelation of John by the word “beast”, where the bestiality means to lack human mind. The stamp to the forehead broke the forehead and made the world unable to accept ordered semicategory actions, lowering the mind to beast state. I accept no world without studies of ordered semicategory actions and you should, too.
Your way of resistance is giving to the project that stops separation of the world or to support my software development. This software is the frontline of the battle of God against evil. The Bible very unambiguously pointed that non-PhD science is the frontline. As a Christian, you must be on the frontline, not in you peaceful “house”.
Again, not giving and being saved are incompatible. If you don’t give, it is obvious that you have the faith broken by a solid stamp that hit your forehead.
“PhD in theology” sounds especially funny after this, doesn’t it?
