Good evening. I did not make any changes to the (666) number pages outside of the bible text. The edit is based on scripture "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:" The Greek χάραγμα (charagma)

Noun - Accusative Neuter Singular

Strong's 5480: Sculpture; engraving, a stamp, sign. From the same as charax; a scratch or etching, i.e. Stamp, or sculptured figure. According to the Biblical Greek the mark of the "666" could be a stamp or etching on the forehead.

It is kind of creepy, but it is biblical. Tattoos, can be erased, digital chips can be hacked, but it is not possible to get rid of the branding of the skin. I hope I did not scare you, since it scared me. Anyways, you may remove it, if you consider it offensive. "13Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother." (Romans 14). Thank you and God bless.

No one was scared, nor offended. That's not the reason for the reversion. There were a number of problems with your edit that caused it to be reverted. First, what you're adding is focused on the "mark" part of things. This article is about the number itself, so your edit was essentially off-topic for the article. Second, you identified your edit as "minor", and it is not a minor edit. Improper use of the "minor edit" designation can be considered to be disruptive editing. Please read WP:MINOR. Lastly, you did not cite a source, thus what you added is considered original research. Strong's would be a source (which would need to be cited), but you went beyond what Strong's 5480 says adding interpretive content which requires a source.

The material has nothing to do with this article. Any tattoo, say of a butterfly, is also a mark on the skin but we don't mention them here. Meters (talk) 21:04, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
