Channman 2 #3 July 30, 2007 QuoteChristians around the world are waiting for the second coming yet anyone who says they are the second coming gets denounced as a cult leader. Religions confuse me. The primary problem with your confusion is the word you use "Religions". Christians, i.e. true followers of Christ don't believe in Religions, but have a personnal relationship with Christ, and as it says in the scriptures will return as a thief in the night.

seedy 0 #4 July 30, 2007 You are confused. Christians are eagerly awaiting the coming of Christ - not the antichrist. Assuredly, the antichrist comes first, but that is not the one Christians are awaiting. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Low-Mao 0 #6 July 30, 2007 This man is just one of many Anti-Christs, but the ultimate one will be an influential world leader that many people will respect and admire. He will play a leading role in the advocacy for world peace and there will seem to be no evil about him until he reneges on his word and causes severe calamity, either directly or indirectly. In regards to the second comming of Christ, all I will say is that it won't be a matter of question, but rather a matter of fact and everyone will see and acknowledge it for what it is. Please read the Bible for futher details. I found that when I finally read the Bible in its historical, cultural and literal context I wasn't confused about it anymore. I'm quite embarassed to say that I was one of those people that completely mocked the Bible without ever reading the whole thing. I found most of what I saw on tv in regards to the Bible and that which I learned from the Catholic Church was all just a big lie. None of it had anything to do with what the Bible actually teaches and they twisted it in order to acheive their own selfish desires. I learned that I was personally responsible for my beliefs in spirituality and could no longer allow lies or personal resentment to keep me from faith in God. Let's just say what if the Bible is true...Isn't it reasonable to assume that an individual owes it to themself to at least try to be honest with God and say "listen, I don't understand all this nonsense and I don't like how you do things but please, if you exsist, help me to understand this foolish book? I'm confident that if you truly have a desire in your heart to know and understand who God is, He will give you the capability to understand the Bible soon enough, thus revealing himself to you. If you are content in your disbelief, I would encourage you to read the Bible anyway and try to strengthen your disbelief or at least try to discredit the Bible by informing yourself with what it actually says instead of repeating what you have heard or what you simply created in your own mind.

Christianity isn't a religion, atheism is, no wonder people get confused about the meaning of the word "religion". Whatever dude, I'll just stick to the regular dictionary.

How do they know he doesn't visit often? Like a fly on the wall. They could be waiting for the Second Coming, and he's already visited a couple dozen times. Maybe just waiting for the right moment to put on a big show.

masterblaster72 0 #12 July 30, 2007 Quotehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I15wsrNBxbI&mode=related&search= REPOST!! REPOST!! After that post back in February I did some reading on this fellow. Supposedly he has backed away recently from statements about him being the antichrist...these cults fascinate me. They attract all kinds. In addition to the obvious clueless dumb sheep, they also attract some very intelligent people as well. One of his followers is a self-made millionaire who gave his business and millions to this man, while abandoning his family because of their disapproval. Similarly, the spokesperson for David Koresh was a Harvard graduate, and the guy who mixed the kool-aid at Jonestown was a doctor... Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Low-Mao 0 #14 July 31, 2007 QuoteWhy? The first coming of Christ wasn't a matter of fact, even for everyone who saw it. When the Anti-Christ reneges on his word he will also claim that he is God. He will require worship and try to kill all those who don't. When this happens Christ will come the second time in Judgement which will also include the destruction of the world. He is not comming back as a man walking through Israel performing miracles this time. It will be very obvious who He is and where he came from and there will be no more debate. This will essentially be the "proof." Mathew 24: 24-27 "24 For false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and miracles to lead astray, if possible,even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand." "26 So if they say to you,'look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out. If they say, 'look, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the comming of the Son of Man." I'm sure this will raise more questions and reading the Bible in it's context will answer many of them. Also, QuoteHilarious. Christianity is a religion, and you don't get to judge who is or is not a 'true' christian. Just because you say you are a Christian doesn't mean you are. Romans 10:9 "...if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Many people may say it, but most don't really believe it and they never show any evidence of their claim. Just turn on your tv and you will see many "Christians" trying to steal your money, raging in hatred against people of particular social cultures or completley taking the Bible out of context and teaching lies. The only purpose this serves is to try and keep others from faith in God that truly have somewhat of a desire to know him and this is not what true Christianity is about. RELIGION Organized Religions have historically been associated with alienation,hatred, selfrighteousness, murder, pride...etc. They are unbiblical, manipulative and often omit or twist scripture in order to fulfill their own means of wealth, power, and control. Unfortunately none of this is listed in any of at least eight official definitions of religion. I suppose it is a matter of semantics that is not worth the arguement.

Low-Mao 0 #16 July 31, 2007 It would be incredibly arrogant and wrong superficially...but if somebody told me that they were a Christian then said that they didn't believe Jesus is God, they aren't Christian and I would have a responsibility to show them where in the Bible it says Jesus is God. ....I never said Christianity wasn't a religion, I just don't think it matters and I understand why other Christians feel it is a bad connotation.

Low-Mao 0 #19 August 1, 2007 QuoteJust curious... Have you also read the Qur'an? Yes, but not in its entirety. I'm familiar with Islamic beliefs and found that what I did read to be somewhat interesting. There is much that can be said about its similarities and differences in comparison to the Bible and other World Religions. Based on what I read, I can say that it offers many virtuous benefits to the individual as do other world religions, however it clearly attacks the Biblical Scriptures that it claims to be based on which is also indicative of other Religions such as Catholicism, Mormonism, and Jehovah's Witness. Collectively, the primary attacks are typically against the diety of Christ and their lack of emphasis on human depravity and the separation it causes between God and man. They also seem to fail in their recognition or are at least unclear in their explanation on how this separation is eliminated thus enabling us to be reconciled unto God. The typical prescription is to just believe and be good, but if we are to go back to the basics of the Bible that all these Religions claim to be based on, we find that it is not that simple..... As I said there is much that can be said and I believe at this point it would be appropriate to carry this "discussion" to a new thread that will actually be related to it's subject. Best regards, Corey God Bless you all Related Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. Revelation 22:6-19 18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
