[Biblemat] Interesting thing happened to me today.

[Philip.Douthitt at att.net]

This question was sent to me by one of our members.  Has anybody else heard of this teaching? And or do you have any input regarding this doctrine?

In Him,

Tonight I was walking by the breakroom cafeteria and I came across a maintenance man setting there on his break reading his bible and I asked him what he was studying and he said the book of revelation.. anyways I tried to have an inteligent conversation with him regarding the bible and I was amazed at what he believes, The poor guy was obviously trying to study and learn the bible and I want to help him but i don't even know where to begin on this one..  He told me that his "pastor" was teaching on revelation and that he had been told that the mark of the beast was of all things "Sunday"  I had never heard that one before.  It gets worse than that he stated that all the people who receive the mark were the ones who "violate god's law" by worshiping on Sunday and not the Sabbath.  He said that his "Pastor" told him that anybody who goes to church service on "Sunday" were the ones who recieved the mark of the beast and were going to hell.  I showed him scripture after scriptur
 e abou
t where christians were told to assemble on the first day of the week.  He seemed like I almost reached him but at the last second he stated " My Pastor is way smarter than I am" so I know he is not wrong.  He then accussed me of trying to seduce him into believing the doctrines of the devil.  At this point I decided that I did not want to argue with the guy so I with drew from our discussion but I was wondering if you had any ideas to reach this guy if the subject ever comes up again... I think he goes to some kind of 7th day Adventist group or affiliation but I am not sure... While studying the book of revelation I have heard the mark of the beast called many things but "Sunday"  that one was knew to me.. 

I hope all of you are doing well and may the lord bless you each through out the week 
James
