    Romans 6:6 Romans 6:12-23 Romans 3:8 Why not say--as some slanderously claim that we say--"Let us do evil that good may result"? Their condemnation is just! @H. Richard

    Well, he's not free to do everything he wants.

    Uh, so you're saying that Christians who endeavor to stop sinning are actually deceived by Satan?

    I think he's still as active as ever. The whole world lies under the power of the evil one. If he were sealed at the time of the cross, I don't think John would write this verse the way he did 1 John 5:19 I hadn't thought of the aging thing holding metaphorical meaning, but I suppose that's...

    Actually, Revelation 20:3 does state that while he is locked in the Abyss he will not be able to deceive the nations any longer. When we consider the entire purpose of his existence is dedicated to deceiving and bringing about the destruction of souls, it stands to reason that this verse...

    The Restrainer

    I don't think it makes sense for the Restrainer to be evil, for if it were, what interest would it have in prolonging the coming of Antichrist? Yeah I don't really see Pagan Rome fitting the bill here. In futurist terms, the MOS will harness and rule the equivalent of a modern day Roman...

    Jesus was without sin and yet he knew God.

    Could you rephrase this part? Thanks

    I think this is saying that it will occur after the rapture. Those raptured will be given immortal bodies, their victory over death being assured. I think there will still be a mortal fleshly world after the rapture that the AC will live and reign over for a time, but when Jesus does come again...

    Not all who are called Israel belong to Israel. Romans 9:6. God turned the gospel to the gentiles and we are grafted into the true vine by faith. Only God knows when that fulness (completion) of that vine is accomplished. It could be speaking about the rapture (which may occur as the result of...

    Mystery Babylon-Understanding the imagery

    I think we need to look at what Rome represented at that time. It was the hub of international commerce. The world revolved around Rome. Rome was the de factor controller of the world. I think if we extrapolate that meaning and apply it to today we'll come to the conclusion of what mystery...

    So does Rome. And I wasn't suggesting you subscribed to replacement theology, I was just making that statement.

    Mystery Babylon-Understanding the imagery

    The Rothschilds do not represent all Jews. They are particularly of the synagogue of Satan Revelation 3:9 and will be destroyed. God has ordained Israel be rebuilt in 1948 as scripture shows this to be in accordance with His sovereign will Isaiah 66:8, Zechariah 12:3 Replacement theology is false.

    But it says in 2 Thess 2 that the MOS is revealed after the restrainer is taken away, so the world and the flesh must still be there after that.

    The context of 2 Thes 2 has nothing to do with Jesus. Period.

    The Restrainer

    There are a few interpretations of who the Restrainer is. In some translations the "He" is capitalized, indicating that the restrainer is the Holy Spirit. The restrainer being taken out of the way could hint at rapture. All those with the Holy Spirit will be removed from the earth and the...

    I've given sufficient warning. If you continue in this error that's your fault.

    Dude, the passage in 2 Thess 2 is NOT talking about Jesus.
