    Convince me of Annihilationism

    I have no doubts about that. God is just. Who knows righteous judgement like the Lord? There is none.

    So how are we seeing right now?

    Maybe we have but you're just overcomplicating things? Idk. I can't say I understand for certain what you mean here.

    So how are we seeing right now?

    I would have thought faith would be more powerful a spiritual faculty than sight tbh. Also, why are you the only one capable of understanding what you're talking about? 2 Peter 1:20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation of...

    Convince me of Annihilationism

    I just recall Matthew 25:41-45 saying that wicked men will go to that place prepared for the devil and his Angel's. But the verse says that the smoke of their torment rises up forever and ever. I've been thinking about this lately. I've come to the co clusion that we don't really have a...

    The Restrainer

    Well, even after that, many will come to saving knowledge of Christianity. The AC will target Christianity in attempt to permanently whipe it out. If the AC were to claim to be Christ, then Christianity would then be acknowledged by the rest of the world as the real deal. However, we know that...

    I don't have time at the moment to refute all the scriptures you posted above, but I will say this. When the AC comes he will deceive the Jewish people into believing he is their long awaited messiah, fulfillment of Judaic prophecy. How could he accomplish that if hes claiming to be Christ...

    I think we can all agree the AC will hate religion and particularly hate Christianity and its founder. So, if he were to claim to be Christ, would that not have a preserving effect on Christianity itself?

    Convince me of Annihilationism

    (speaking as a man) I'm feeling cognitively dissonant. I want to believe in Annihilationism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annihilationism. I want to believe scriptures such as Psalms 37:10 Psalms 37:20 Psalms 37:36 refer to the eternal state of sinful man rather than speaking only about life...

    The Restrainer

    This particular passage is speaking in plural. Saying "here, or there" is talking about multiple claims by multiple people. Christ is synonymous with saviour. It's another way of saying many false saviours will be present at the time. Christian's (who actually read and study the bible) will...

    I respectfully disagree with those saying he will claim to be "Christ" 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. In addition to vehemently hating all...

    Right, that's the crux of what my disagreement would be. Satan is lawless. Lawlessness is by definition unrestrained.

    The Restrainer

    Hi Charity. Your interpretation was interesting. I'd never heard it before. One question I have is, if the Restrainer were Satan then why would Satan not have moved out of the way to unleash the man of sin a long time ago? He knows his time is short, after all. Wouldn't he want to make use of...

    Amillenialism and Acts 1:11

    Amillenialism and Acts 1:11

    No, u guys think that when Jesus will return all things will be made new and everything will melt away. But that's not right, because it says that He will return the same way he came... to this Earth. This is all before the new heavens and new earth.

    The Restrainer

    Okay so then 2 Timothy 2:18 does apply to you, at least in part, cuz you're saying the first ressurection has already happened. I don't know if what your saying is necessarily ruinous to anyone's faith, since correct eschatology is not a salvific issue. Paul was probably talking about those who...

    I think this is future tense. Why would Paul need to tell them that they will, that they shall judge Angel's if they were already aware of that fact? They weren't aware of it because it has not yet come to pass, it is future still. It sounds like Jesus judged everything already then. The...
