    Who and what is the antichrist?

    It is true that the two beasts of Rev 12 are empowered by Satan, but given that Satan when depicted as a dragon with 7 heads has only 7 crowns to the first beasts 10, and the dragons crowns are on its heads whereas the first beasts crowns are on its horns, the intended meaning of the metaphors...

    Who and what is the antichrist?

    Don't forget hell and death are also thrown into the Lake of Fire. Conceptual objects are often personified. eg. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? (1Co 15:55 ) I believe when John was shown the first beast rising from the sea he was looking at a metaphorical depiction...

    Who and what is the antichrist?

    Yes, one spirit with many names and metaphorical descriptions in reference to Satan, but the term "man of sin" is a big clue about the substance and form of Satan's instrument at the future zenith of wickedness.

    Purpose of this site

    Better a miner than a lurker, or a flitter (someone who joins a forum, gets welcomed, and flits away never to be seen again).

    Who and what is the antichrist?

    Both the beasts in Revelation 13 are antichrist in nature. The beast that rises from earth is the final false prophet, and is obviously the man of sin/son of perdition mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2: 2Th 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come...

    A Cry For Revival!

    So some sort of revival might seem to be a move of God, but is it really and how can you know for sure?

    Spirituality vs Religiosity 4

    I didn't think it was just mispelled but also misappropriated, so action was taken. Sorry if that offends some. Puns, spoonerisms, malapropisms, can be blessings, some even Biblical if you know where to look. Quote below from: Puns In The Bible. The Hebrew word for “praise” transliterates into...

    Purpose of this site

    Do you mean literally log on, or visit. I don't log on because I am set to stay logged on. Best to pick and choose which threads and users to respond to, just like offline fellowships.

    A Cry For Revival!

    I thought we were over things like the Crusades, Spanish Inquisition, Forced Church Attendance, Act of Uniformity, and other coercive ecclesiastical paradigms.

    Permanent Rebirth

    It happens. I know some who have done this. The Bible from start to finish speaks to the issue of those who who once faithful falling away. Josephus writes a graphic account of Solomon falling into idolatry and false religion sometime around the age of 50...

    Permanent Rebirth

    There's a big difference between those who struggle with their faith in Christ and those who once believed in Him for their salvation but depart from all that is righteous and holy to become just like those who rejected Christ and crucified Him. Act 3:13-15 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and...

    Permanent Rebirth

    The reality is that Christ's sacrifice was sufficient to purchase salvation for everyone, but it is only efficient to those who hold on to it. Heb_3:6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end...
