Reprobate
The word we see as reprobate in the New Testament is adokimos[1] means not standing the test, not approved it was a term commonly and properly used of metals and coins
We see in the verses aboout the Mark of the Beast there is another word basanizo [2] which has to do with the process "to test (metals) by the touchstone".
We are here to be tested. The inclination of our hearts and minds are being tested.
Will we stand the test?
Will our faith stand the test?
Or will we be reprobates?
The New Testament
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
1 Corinthians 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway <96>.
2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
2 Corinthians 13:6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
2 Corinthians 13:7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
2 Timothy 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Hebrews 6:8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected <96>, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
The Old Testament
Jeremiah 6:30 Reprobate[3] silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them. That word Reprobate in the Old Testament is appears some 76 times [4]but only once as reprobate. Normally it appears as despise, refuse or reject. ma’ac
