11/06/2006 | In the original manuscripts, the words, " on the forehead " can't be found. it is, rather, " in the forehead, or in the hand ". What we do with our hands tell Him which mark we received, His or satan's. Do we steal and kill? Then we have satan's mark. Do we earn our living honestly? Then we have His. Cain was the first one to receive the mark, directly after killing his brother Abel. What do we have in our minds? Thoughts of helping or destroying? The mind is in the forehead. It won't be a tattoo. How could a merciful God as the One we have, hold us accountable if we were held down and received a tatto against our own will? Think about it. Would you want to serve a god that would do that? I know I wouldn't.
