So is obsessively demanding scholarly sources for an obvious statement of experience/opinion. Everyone makes such claims, without even a lot of fuss, sometimes. This is a public forum—not a seminary study hall. .

I found a half-decent news media outlet to follow developments—YMMV: https://www.youtube.com/@Firstpost

Is that you, Addie?!! .

I'm pretty pacifist in the micro, so you won't meet with much resistance. :Broadly: .

Words are for sale to the highest bidder, like everything else, except truth. Sorry for dropping the T-bomb. .

What's interesting to me is that the "They can't all be right" thing often means they are all wrong because they don't conform to the wildly popular, armchair, non/anti-denominationalism that finds good nesting material in online Christian forums. I admit I'm biased because of my Navy brat/Air...

Are you anti-education? ;) .

Incredulity is a nice debate tool. I'll pass, though. Smells like a rabbit hole to me. I'd like to hang around and do some pseudo-intellectual sparring and wordsmithing with you, but... I'm kinda in the middle of something. Welcome to the forum, btw. :kiaora: My signature explains my...

THE FALL AND RISE OF JERUSALEM (Book offered in the video below)

Yeah, it's a term that's thrown out when folks don't want to consider etymological evidence. 1. You gave the definition, yourself. Why give evidence that you don't want to be considered? 2. John chose the word ἀντίχριστος 3. He also says that the first beast of Revelation is worshipped. 4...

I was just loosely quoting you, asking me for a proof text for a definition that you actually gave, yourself, in your own OP:

"Proof text, please?" You really don't know the etymology of the word "antichrist?" .

Certainly not, but the true definition of an antichrist is one who assumes the place of Christ, and the best counterfeit is the one that most closely resembles the genuine. The danger of worshipping the first beast of Revelation 13 is very real and very, very close to transpiring. And he will...

All the stuff you're whining about I'm not above exhibiting patterns. Why are you pointing out "insults" and "non-responses?" Do you think your own manner of discussion is characteristically devoid of these things or are we in some kind of score-keeping contest here? Why don't we get some...

I do because if they were, none of this would be happening. .

And the fact that you know no one here believes that they did makes that a straw man argument and not even a very good one, which is taking you down a road to unreasonable expectations. Nothing of the kind. God knows that human wars produce collateral damage, but He ordains the civil...

You're spiraling into straw man nirvana here. Civil governments have a responsibility to protect their citizens. Even though mistakes will surely be made, this responsibility is God-ordained. Hamas is not going to lay down their arms to the preaching of Christ from Netanyahu. I prayed and...

You were born 400 years too late, Amigo. :hearteyes: .

I get it, I really do, believe it or not. :) .

Jack, you're so mean. coffee: (<---not coffee—herbal tea) .
