I have been wondering this of late and the more I think about it the more I realize this could be something. I'd appreciate a debate from a "true Christian" that would disagree with the following theory.

Ok, so Revelations said the Beast will come and 144,000 souls will vanish leaving the rest here. Those that stay have to stay with Jesus, starve, get beheaded and so on or accept the number and be damned to Hell.

Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount, warned of false prophets and men that stated they knew him but didn't.

So...... today we see the likes of Falwell, Robertson, the Pope and a vast majority of the denominational leaders from Baptist to Evangelical to even the Mormons and 7th Day Adventists (Both of whom have pretty much changed from their founders visions to a more "mainstream, follow the others type"), more or less siding with one political viewpoint (primarily the GOP and Right)... what if these leaders are not truly teaching the word of Jesus but teaching their own agendas.

What if these leaders and our political leaders start telling us in order to fight "terrorism", "illegal alien", etc. we need to accept numbers, micrdot implants, etc.?

Now mind you your own church leaders are saying this....... what do you do?

I already see massive hypocrasy in true Christianity and what is passed for it today. The vast majority of these "Christians" do whatever they want, and use the whole "I've been saved and accept Jesus as my Savior" as they raise rents in their slums, as they vote down education levies, as they pass judgement on others, as they get divorced, as they down drinks and drive, as they try to own and gain all they can on Earth and basically live as hypocrites and don't live by what Jesus taught.

The people actually living closest to the true teachings of Christ are the Amish.

Anyway, I digress..... so...... tell me Christians who follow your leaders.... what would you do or what will you do when your own leaders start telling you to take the number and that in doing so you will reach Heaven... that all of a sudden they have come to some realization that the Bible meant those who don't take the number are destined to Hell..... or some such rubbish.

P.S. this truly isn't meant as a rant against "Christianity", it is my wanting to understand how you have allowed your churches, your leaders to become so political and power hunger and yet you follow them and question nothing.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
