    GP> What is auto post?   
      
     It's a utility for posting messages from batchfiles, either on a daily,   
   weekly, or monthly basis. The perfect example is BBS Ads...some of these   
   post them several times a day...I feel that once a month for mine is more   
   than sufficient. I want folks to logon because they want to...and NOT because   
   they have to.   
      
    GP> It's clear that the evil of the mark/number is in willingly accepting   
    GP> it to show one's allegiance to the beast (i.e. trusting the Beast's   
    GP> economic provision rather than God's promised provision ("if even the   
    GP> bird & flowers have enough, why wouldn't you?")   
      
     Exactly. Jesus Himself said "the lillies of the field don't toil or spin,    
   but Solomon in all his glory was never arrayed like one of these".   
      
    GP> One interesting booklet I read in '85 linked the number to UPC codes.   
      
     One ham radio operator had UPC as his callsign suffix.   
      
    GP> One of my teachers (Presbyterian pastor) taught me, regarding the   
    GP> Toronto Blessing (people rolling in the aisles, barking, screaming,   
    GP> peeing themselves, speaking in tongues, supposedly in holy spirit   
    GP> ecstasy) that they obviously lacked, to a person, the fruit of self   
    GP> control. . . he couldn't reconcile this with them being true   
    GP> Christians.   
      
     Josh McDowell, author of "More Than A Carpenter" and "Evidence That   
   Demands A Verdict", said when he accepted Christ, he literally felt   
   like vomiting afterwards. He set out to prove that Christianity was a   
   farce and a hoax...but couldn't do it. He also noted he hated his Dad,   
   as he was so violent, but after Josh got saved, and his Dad noticed the   
   change in his behavior, it gave Josh the chance to witness to his Dad,   
   and he led his Dad to The Lord.   
      
    GP> We are not to go chasing signs or wonders, but to trust in the Lord our   
    GP> God Whom we know, directly, in our souls.   
      
     Satan masquerades as an angel of light, and he knows all too well what   
   kind of showmanship, etc. will impress the crowds.
