I agree with an earlier poster who you also agreed with - the Mark/Sin is to be found in thought and deed or forehead and hand.

What I am asking is - as we ALL are sinners to the end, according to some scripture and many preachers, how then can we not have the mark already? Or maybe better said, having realized what it is and also realizing that we have already received it, how do we reject it or get rid of it?

Not trying to put anyone on the spot here, I am only asking questions, hopefully, that will lead to mutual growth and understanding on this subject.
