The Mark of the Beast has Nothing to do with Buying and Selling

The mark of the beast (Revelation 13) has nothing to do with buying and/or selling. The ability to buy and sell are used simply as extortion to make people CONFESS a separate god divided from and other than the true God who is manifested as everything. There is not a separate manifestation. A separate, remote-controlled creation does not even make sense. Anyone who does not need to buy or sell still makes the confession if they believe that God is separate from His creation. There is only the One Ineffable True God who by Its wisdom and power has imagined and has Itself become everything. To love and honor It humbly in full submission to It - doing whatever It says to do - is simply the right thing to do.
