Religious Objections to Mandatory Intrusive Physical Technologies




Religious Objections to Mandatory Intrusive Physical Technologies

This is an effort to outline religious objections to mandatory vaccinations, forced embedding or imprinting of any technology upon the human body. This outline of largely Bible-based objections is by no means comprehensive.

This effort is created with the Christian faith in mind, using references from the Holy Bible (the New International Version translation). Those who find merit in these references should consider distributing them as widely as possible. It should probably be printed. They may be needed soon. Christians opposed to state claims of control over their bodies must search the Bible.

 Why the Bible? The Bible is the truth of God for Christians and cannot be overruled by any human authority.

What is The Bible? 66 books from 40 authors written over the course of 1500 years from ca. 1400 BC to ca. 90 AD. It is still the most widely read ancient document in the world. It presents both Hebrew and Christian Scripture. The Bible has been the most distributed, studied, and believed-in document on earth for nearly 2 millennia. It provided the foundation for western society. Christianity is the most widespread faith on earth. It is by nature a voluntary personal faith, and is remains strongly represented in every continent.

I will give some brief thoughts on other religions potential objections to intrusive technologies at the end of the essay.

 What is Intrusive Physical Technology?

Any technology that must be placed in or on the human body against the desire or will of the subject is an intrusive physical technology. This may include microchips, electronic tattoos, neural implants, experimental vaccines or other injectable or implantable substances. The growth in digital technologies has brought about inventions unprecedented in history. It’s clear that these technologies are being refined to come both upon and inside the human body.

 Cell phones are evidence of a propensity to increase the levels of physical intimacy between man and the network. As this intimacy increases and the network grows, the door opens for a final indignity. The means for this indignity already exist, the will for the kind of power it affords is here, and it is, unfortunately,  likely to be a reality soon, since the use of such devices to track and control cater to both financial and state interests.

 If you as a Christian are confronted with such decisions and choose to object to surrendering bodily autonomy to the state, remember the Bible. It clearly defines what your body is and who really owns it. This document lists some helpful passages.

 Natural Autonomy: Each free human individual has a unique standing in the laws of God and nature regardless of what they believe. If you do not possess control of your body, you are either a child, a prisoner, a soldier or a slave.

For the Christian, the Bible tells us who truly owns our body, and that is God. His laws we must first obey.

 What is the body? Who made it?

 The Bible states that we are made by God in His likeness.

"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. "

Genesis 1:27

God, as Creator, owns His Creation… as long as He wants it. The premise of the maker of an object owning the object he makes is a universal truth. He also made our form and presence wonderful. We are a blessed and unique creation. 

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

Psalm 139:14

Who actually owns the Body?

Once a person gives themselves to Christ, servants of Christ neither belong to themselves or to the world. Jesus says we are not of this world:

 "If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you."

John 15:19

The Bible says both the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ live within the believer.

 “… it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me…” 

Galatians 3:20-21

Jesus himself in the gospel of John says:

 “he ( The Spirit) lives with you and will be in you. .. I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.

John 14: 15-20

The Holy Spirit of God (fully God/fully Spirit) is given to believers in Jesus. This Spirit literally occupies the human vessel (though always allowing for free will). Both Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit live in the Christian.

The Apostle Paul says it this way:

"If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you."

Romans 8:9-11

The Bible says believing Christians are a vessel for Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

How then are we to treat our body?

Like a Temple. The Apostle Paul states clearly that our body is a temple of God, a sacred place that is not our property.

"Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own-"

1 Corinthians 6:19

Jesus also refers to his earthly body as a temple prior to his death and resurrection.

 "Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”

They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?”  But the temple he had spoken of was his body.  After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken."

          John 2:19-22

Jewish Scripture also concerns itself with how to treat the body.  

             “for I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you             shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with anything in             this world

            Leviticus 11:44

 

What we do to ourselves, we also do to, and through, Jesus/Holy Spirit/God with our free will intact. Our behavior is important. Our bodies are sacred vessels.

One set of Objections: Blood and Idols

Let’s take a brief look at two specific physical Biblical objections to MRNA vaccines before we address the greater fundamental objections:

Most (though not all) Christians believe they are freed from the extensive dietary laws of Israel as outlined in the Old Testament by the sacrificial work of Christ. There are two exceptions. Two of these particular laws are repeated in the New Testament to Christians. They are:

1.   a rule against ingesting blood and

2.     2. food sacrificed to idols.

(I and most others do not believe the blood injunction applies to life-saving transfusions.)

Here's what the Old Testament says about blood:

         "Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is the life, and you shall             not eat the life with the flesh"

            Deuteronomy 12:23

 

An injunction against eating blood is repeated in the New Testament, by James, the leader of the Jerusalem Church. James was the brother of Jesus.

You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell”

Acts 15:29

 

Concerning Fetal Tissue DNA/RNA Some vaccines contain lines of mrna or potentially loose dna that are derived from the cells of human fetuses. If injection does equal ingestion, then the recipient of such an injection could be seen as eating “blood” or “life”. Moreover the blood and life of unborn human beings. Until this reality is settled with the individual, it is not for the state to decide.

Are Fetal Tissue Vaccines Food Sacrificed to Idols?

Are fetuses that have been aborted and then processed into medicine  the same as ”food sacrificed to idols”?

 There was an idol in the Bible that devoured children. His name was Moloch, the ancient Canaanite god to whom parents sacrificed their children in the fire.

 

“‘Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Moloch, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.

Leviticus 18:21

 

We have the right to determine as free-willed souls if we consider any injection or implant a pollution of our body or an insult to God.

 

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit

 

There are two instances in the New Testament where deliberate earthly actions are described as unforgivable.  The two instances likely describe the same sin. This sin is called by Jesus, blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

 

"And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. "

Matthew 12:31

 

Most preachers see blasphemy of the Holy Spirit as a complete willful rejection of the Lordship of Christ. The second example occurs in the most famous and dire warning in the Bible, at the climax of human history as it is laid out in the book of Revelation.

What is The Book of Revelation?

The Book of Revelation is last book of the Bible. It describes itself as:

"The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.  Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near."

Rev 1: 1-3

 

Revelation 13 and The Mark of the Beast.

The most compelling religious objection to any coerced surrender of bodily autonomy is in the 13th and 14th chapter of Revelation. Simply put, the Bible is clear: take what is called the "mark of the beast" and you’ll be forever lost to God.

The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.  It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man ( also sometimes translated “human number”).  That number is 666.

Rev 13:15 -18

Christians have known of this prophecy for more than 1900 years, but the mechanics of such a proposition were impossible. Until very recently, there was simply no way to find every person on this vast earth, much less mark or track them. For nearly 2000 years speculation ran rampant as to the true meaning of this prophecy.  The means of its fulfillment is no longer a mystery. We live in a time when powerful international forces possess the technology necessary to mark, track and control the entire population of the world.

The power of the beast has arrived: bringing with it the imminent possibility of absolute control of the people of earth.

"It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. 

This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people."

Rev 13: 7-10

 

What does the Bible say happens if you take this mark?

 

"A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.  And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” 

Rev 14: 9-11

This is the only prophetic injunction in the Bible that claims as the result of a single physical action, a person will be irretrievably damned. It is among the most famous and disturbing pieces of writing in the history of man. It is the absolute crux of the Book of Revelation, the climax of history, the final choice: to follow either God or Satan.

Important: It seems that there is a physical component to taking the mark that actually creates a physical enslavement which ensures the marked soul is irretrievable. If technology introduced into the human body disrupts or desecrates the spirit of the individual, might it do it so completely that God is simply unable to bring them into heaven? Jesus describes the afterlife once: with Abraham speaking to the rich man in torment:

"And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us."

Luke 16:26

 

For the Bible-believing Christian, this idea must give us pause. Given the gravity of the times we live, the exponential acceleration of AI and the global nature of the network, it seems reasonable to consider deeply suspect any mandatory marking, injections, implants, or embedded tattooed ID’s of any kind for the purposes of identity or commerce. At this point, they are likely to be either the Beast System itself, or the immediate precursor to such a system.

General acceptance of such types of intrusion into our bodily sovereignty legitimizes  future abuses and its eventual acceptance. By its very nature, such a system will necessarily demand the criminalization of them that oppose it.

Still, it is literally the hill the Christian is told to die on, for the stakes are eternal.

"They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death."

Rev 12:11

The Abomination of Desolation. We are told in the Bible that the body is a temple. We are also told in both the Old and New Testaments that in the end times, a certain desecration is placed in the “Temple”. It is called the "abomination that causes desolation.”

From the Old Testament Book of Daniel, speaking of the figure we have come to call Antichrist.

 "And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."

Daniel 9:27

 

This prophecy is important enough to be repeated by the Lord Jesus Christ himself as he describes the end times.

 

"So when you see in the holy place, the abomination of desolation as spoken of by the Prophet Daniel (let the reader understand), let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains."

Matthew 24:15

We are also the Holy Place. Our body is also a temple, whatever other literal events this prophecy may fulfill. This abomination is also quite possibly a mechanical connection to the frequencies of a desolating entity. 

Each soul should have the right to decide such matters for themselves.

The Main Objection: Our religion states that those who take a universal Mark are doomed for eternity. That is the first and foremost religious objection to accepting any device, mark or implant upon our bodies.

With such a longstanding prophecy at the centerpoint of the Bible's description of the end times, why should any Christian be expected to take a marking technology upon themselves? If it walks like the mark, and it talks like the mark etc… 

For the first time in history, the possibility exists for spirit to be literally corrupted by a sinister technology. Free will could be at the mercy of a machine, one that clearly is growing its own “independent” intelligence. I'm not trying to be scary. Instead I point to the clear message of Jesus. This world is not our home.

A short summation of the current logical progression:

1.The world for the first time is becoming a global system, as proven by the global measures instituted during the COVID-19 pandemic.

2. There is a worldwide movement to institute Digital ID’s, which can truly only work reliably if they are embedded on or within a person’s body.

3. A unified digital currency and the replacement of cash is imminent. Digital ID and digital currency will likely appear within the same electronic medium, placed within or upon the body. 

4. Embedded chips are already used in many places. As of 2023, at least 50,000 people worldwide already have microchip implants in their hand, and millions of pets do. The technology has been tested.

5. Brain-Computer interfaces ( literally a port in the skull connected to computers and the internet) are also being pursued by many well-funded, high-profile companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Elon Musk’s Nueralink.

6. Artificial Intelligence is rapidly gaining the power and intelligence to efficiently operate all such systems. It is unclear what entities are emerging out of these AI’s, but they are likely not holy. We don’t have a lot of time to figure it out.

7. Mandatory compliance with state claims over human free will was made a priority during the pandemic.

8. Deception has reached unprecedented levels in human history.

9. The ability and inclination to limit and censor free speech (including the shuttering of churches) was also made obvious during the pandemic. The time to discuss this is now.

10. The prevailing current of transhumanism welcomes technology into the human body, and the human mind. This idea cannot coexist with the Bible’s concept of the sacred nature of body and spirit.

11. The Holocaust of Jews, Gypsies, and others in WWII serves as a template for possible future extermination of “undesirables”. They were marked, first by stars and later by tattoos. Tabulations were accomplished by primitive computers. The natural extension of this process is technological.

12. By any reasonable extension of logic, to the Christian it should be obvious that the world teeters on the edge of the beast system. Some Christians believe they will be raptured before the system is implemented, but even they may have to make a choice of some kind concerning this matter.

It already resembles the Beast System

Any system which closely resembles what the Bible refers to as “the beast” may be legitimately viewed with suspicion. It may be rejected outright. It is the absolute moral obligation of Christian pastors and churches to consider these possibilities, take a close look at current trends and technologies, as well as state edicts, and then inform their flocks of the seriousness of this situation.

If it is becomes a crime for Christians to reject intrusive physical technologies, it will serve as proof that the system is suspect. Christians need to be watchful at this moment.

Thus ends the word for Christians.

Thank you for your time. I present this work in the name of the Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

Now a separate note for other religions:

 

Hinduism teaches the progress of personal Karma through successive lives and life forms. In the event of the beast system, might the union of technology with the soul potentially arrest karma and prevent progression?

Is it an insult to God and our ancestors?

 

Islam believes in submission only to Allah (God). Might technological attachment to a larger network (the beast) bring servitude to another God?

Is it an insult to God and our ancestors?

 

Buddhism believes in an earthly path to enlightenment. Does surrender to an outside mind affect such a progress? 

Is it an insult to God and our ancestors?

 

Judaism believes in the Single God who created the Universe. Is the entity which occupies the computer network another god?

Is it an insult to God and our ancestors?

 

All natural human religions could only have meaning only so long as the adherents possess free will.

Any force which demeans or eliminates free will is against any traditional religion and is instead an alternative god and religion.

Submission to the development of such a system is agreement to the system.  A choice may soon be forced upon all the world by history itself. Take the mark or not take the mark?

The time of the mark has nearly arrived, and this reality is the most suppressed idea in the world today, precisely because it is the most pertinent. The forces which seek the implantation of digital ID know full well it must be done upon or within the human body. They know that this will inevitably bring conflict with their plans and those who believe the Bible. The idea of such religious objections will first be suppressed, then censored, then denied, ridiculed, and finally punished.

All of this is anticipated in the Bible. Christians know that there is a another world beyond the material world, a kingdom prepared for us by our savior and king, the Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we reach God and eternal life. 

It is God we must obey. We pray to Him for strength and guidance.

That concludes this Religious Objection to  mandatory state claims upon us or our children’s bodies.
