The forum flood trolls are avoiding & trying to burry this simple fact:
When Jesus is speaking to the apostles saying : "they will say I am christ and deceive many"
In this context of him speaking means, Jesus will be deceptively called christ not some future persona whereby a future third person tense would be used.
Sorry Christians and theologians, but you really need to notice tenses, because this isn't the only blunder and scam done on you for not having precise reading comprehension.
Isaiah 53 is plurality past and present tense not singular future. A sign for Ahaz in Isaiah has to be in Ahaz time not 600 years after where it does him no good.
John of Patmos says present tense AntiChrist was already in his time period and events occured on 70ad. match the verses. John was not talking future tense that Rome would deceive the world using the false prophet deceiving even the elect says the Apostles.
So reread the Tenses least you be the deceived.
Someone was teaching third person tense son of man to come.
This is liken to Rabbi Schneerson teaching about Moshiach to come, but some in Chabad making him that Moshiach which he spoke of third person tense as another.
Proof: Jesus is not God-Ephesians 1:18-19,
That Jesus is not the son of man he was emulating/impostering(like unto)-rev 1:13
Son of Man will not be in the person of Jesus, but in a different incarnation involving a totally different human being LUKE 6:5, 9:26 , 9:55-56, 12:10 , 17:30 , 18:8, 22:69, John 3:13, Matthew 25:11-13, Mark 14:62
and Mathew20:28 Just as the son of man did not come to be served', but to serve.
But Jesus answered, "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." (Luke 9:55-56)
"Jesus said to him: You yourself said [it]; Yet I say to YOU MEN, FROM HENCEFORTH YOU WILLSEE the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power and coming on ‘the clouds’ (gathering of Temple Priests) of heaven (time to come=future)."Matthew26:64
"Then, Jesus said: I am and YOU PERSONS WILL SEE the Son of man sitting at the right hand ofpower and coming with ‘the clouds’ (gathering of Priests) of heaven (Olam Habah=world to come=future)." -- Mark 14:62
Schneerson made Moshiach resembles the mistaken zealous creation of the Christ against his warning people would be deceived.
Matthew reads specifically and is being taught by pastors that Jesus is saying seek first "his"(third person tense) kingdom, not saying "my"(first person tense) kingdom.
Which christ is this Jesus speaking of ANOTHER & Who's kingdom is this?
“War Scroll” (4Q471)
Where in verse XVII, it says, “God will send eternal bliss by the might of the Princely Angel of the "Kingdom of Michael". He will enlighten with joy the children of Israel.
Also Blessings scroll (1QSb=1Q28b)
V:20 "blessings of the Prince of the Congregation (Michael)
Renew him the covenant of the community, so he might "establish the kingdom of his people for ever", that he might judge the poor with righteousness & dispense Justice with equity to the oppressed.
When I went through RCIA I was literally flabbergasted that, at times, I literally knew more about Catholic dogmas than the folks teaching the classes. Other than the kind, portly fellow was was being raised to the diaconate. He nicely took me aside one night after the classes ended and said something like "You'll do fine, just stick to your path of being an old-school Catholic." It was great. Most of my RCIA class consisted of cradle Catholics who were returning to the Faith, agnostics, etc. I was the one cradle Protestant in the class (having been born and raised in Methodism) and I specifically remember the lady who oversaw the RCIA classes said that it's very rare for Protestants to become Catholics- but very common in the case of Catholics who become Protestants. :O
