Boy, it sure didn't take long for you to go from declaring my post to be 'excellent' to declaring me to be 'simply full of shit.'
My post was intended to show what I believe to be the majority view of the Antichrist and why I think it is a stretch to try to attach that Antichrist motif to Obama. No doubt there are a few Christians who indeed attempt to do that.
Basically, however, I don't think any of us know for sure who and what the Antichrist will be or how he will choose to assert power and authority.
As a "Bible scholar", however, I suppose you already knew that.
My apologies for misreading what she said, which was itself not an accurate representation of what you said. I'm amending that post if I can. And of course you're right here, we DON;T KNOW what form the supposed antichrist will take, which is why when a guy whose name is translated to hebrew is found to be, phonetically, the same as Jesus used to describe Satan, Christians become uncomfortable when they take the law of averages into account. There is a legit concern there for Christians. people who say there is not are simply running from or attempting to suppress a fact for their own individual reasons.
One the issue of remaining intellectually honest in the old testament, in this instance, what is your take on Jeremiah chapter 10, V 1-5. I'm curious to see where you stand on interpretation so I know how to understand the intent of your future posts more accurately.
What are some of the other traits that describe the Antichrist?
With respect, I don;t think you understand the difference between a debate or discussion, and a free education. You'll learn more if your research it yourself. if someone else wants to answer, that's fine, of course. With you, I worry that I can spend time getting involved in a discussion, only to find I've been wasting my time when you answer back with a smarmy, dismissive one-line answer. have a great day.
