John and Doves,

Is the taking of the 666 Mark of the Beast  the Unpardonable Sin?

Well, yes and no.

YES

For instance, if someone takes the 666 Mark of the Beast and knows full well the eternal consequences,

that person is destined for hell. He is hardened in heart, and has sealed his fate.

Rev.14: 9--11

"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,

"If any one worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

"The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,

Which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation.

"And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

"And the smoke of their torment ascended up forever and ever.

"And they have no rest day nor night who worship the Beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth

the mark of his name."

So there we have it. The person who knowingly and willingly steeled himself against God by taking the 666 mark of the beast,  did it without remorse. He was fore-warned and didn't care. His sin condemns himself.

NO

On the other hand, there will be persons who take the 666 mark of the beast out of weakness, not realizing the eternal consequences, perhaps having teachers, parents, ministers/church-goers   

who never really informed them on the matter. 

Isaiah 56:10

 "His watchmen are blind.

They are all ignorant. 

They are all dumb dogs,

they cannot bark....

sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber."

When finally those, who out of ignorance and weakness, come to realize the eternal consequences

( perhaps after the announcement by the 3rd angel of Rev.14:9) ; 

and if then they repent... 

**AND If They Are Willing To Have Their Hand Cut Off,**

then they can be forgiven. That, to me, is the way I see Mark 9:43, 44.

They were not hard-hearted. 

Mark 9:43,44

"And if thy hand offend thee, CUT IT OFF.

It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than  having two hands to go into hell.....

into the fire that shall never be quenched.

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."

They were not sufficiently  instructed and were weak in preparing themselves.

BUT

Now if they regret having taken the 666 Mark of the Beast, but do *not* have their hand cut off, I think they have to pay the price of preferring their own self-will over God's will, if I interpret Mark 9:43,44 correctly.

Let's not play with fire from the very beginning.

Let us be Biblically well- versed, 

*informing others*, 

and making sure we obey God's Word, and ultimately enter into heaven forever.
