And yet a man is sufficient to decive other men. Expecially when backed by the power of an angel. The grevious wound of the Antichrist causes me concern. It would be clear if he were an angel because there wouldn't be any blood. There is the matter of his name being the number of a man.

The similarities do not need to be exact for a mockery to take place. A new physical temple mocking the spiritual temple would suit Satan just fine. Even a scheme affecting himself over the bodies of his followers would count.

The Antichrist, a man, sets himself up in the temple and claims to be God. This is a mockery of Jesus Christ, who's is both man and God. Jesus is also within the temple of our bodies.

Satan, the antichrist, and the false prophet make for a mocking immitation of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, that is a trinity. Satan's role is as the incorporeal spirit directing his cause in revelation. While the antichrist is a different person, a man, a minister of Satan.

Satan appearing as an angel of light does not mean he is coming as a immitation for Christ, but as an immitation of a holy angel. A holy angel sent by God with a message. An example of this is the claimed appearance of the archangel Gabriel to Mohammed. This archangel instructed Mohammed to...

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. There are two states of being, old and new. And these are not necessarily chronological. They may overlap chonologically so long as there is time. But...

Those movies are very predictable. It can be fun to guess the plot within the first few minutes because the movie trope is always the same and the target audience is older women.

Scripture, because Acts 17:11 tells us to search the scriptures, we do this to see if what is taught is truthful. You could even ask for scriptural proof if you can't think of any. Claiming divine inspiration does not invalidate or prove an argument. Unless you want to argue cessationism, which...

Standing up to false teaching with the tools at my disposal. Romans 1:23 "And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things." Not sure how this applies to Jesus who would not see corruption...

Do I detect a hint of gnosticism? Adam was not immortal because he did not eat from the tree of life. While sin and death had not entered the world yet that did not make him immortal. Like how a bag of chips remains crisp until it is opened. It isn't the nature of the chip that caused it to...

2 Corinthians 4:4 "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." What did Christ display at the transfiguration if not his Glory? Your objection over the image of man being...

Jesus has a spiritual body. There is reason to believe he has always had that body, even from the beginning. The transfiguration took place before Christ died and was resurrected and he demonstrated it then. There are also appearances of God in the Old testament walking the earth as a man...

These things are not profitable for us living for the kingdom at the very least.

I agree with most of what you said, except adding the 'A' to say that God is A Spirit. This accurately describes God's nature as being spiritual. However more is implied by excluding the 'A', as 'Spirit' describes his being as the medium in which he and others dwell. Like he is both the house...

An AI that would have any chance of communing with God would need to be holy. This in itself is impossible for a creation of man who is evil. Putting that aside it's personality would need to be as immutable in devotion to God as a holy angel. Except it would still be precluded from any...

Socialists would and have proven themselves willing in the past to place policy agendas over people regardless of how much suffering they inflict.

I wouldn't put placing a punitive tax on gas past certain governments like they have done to cigarettes to dissuade people from using them. There are plans to outlaw the sale of gas vehicles by 2030 in some places. One key consideration for now is do you need to drive long distance, and do...

That could be one test for if a member is an AI or human ideologue. The AI might actually be convinced to change its mind.
