That's nice. You're still ignoring the fact that your claims have repeatedly been proven false in this very thread. In fact, I know I've debunked your claims personally in this thread at least twice.
I understand your zealousness, but you're fighting an imaginary version of the Catholic Church that only exists in the minds of Jack Chick, Alexander Hislop, etc. It's not the reality. The Catholic Catechism is available online for free for anyone to look at. That's the official teachings of the Church. If you want to debate Catholicism that's fine. I encourage it! But debate what the Catholic Church REALLY teaches, not what you mistakenly believe it to teach.

NOBODY IS RIGHTEOUS NOT ONE! Romans 3:10..... Romans 10:3 warns - Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.
HERE is the deal, GOD wants to make YOU.. one with CHRIST..literally... to put YOUR SPIRIT into CHRISTS and to make you ONE with GOD .. hence, HEAVEN is within you and LIVING WATER will flow from within. BUT...
YOU MUST HATE THE WORLD AND ALL THAT IS IN IT AS JESUS SAID:
ASK, READ, REPENT and only seek heaven and do not love the world of anything in it, I promise you all.. that this is what the TRUE message of the Gospel IS because IF YOU JUST OPEN your eyes and heart and take these Scriptures for what they are and BOLDLY ASK GOD for heaven within you now, the Living Water, AND KEEP READING, fasting and pushing hard reading Matthew to Revelations and suffering like JESUS did with fasting and not sinning at ALL.. GOD will do IT!

Even if the UN or EU or America or any other group does anything. You focus on Christ and forget about them.
Focus on Jesus.
Hebrews 12:2
fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

John was battling the gnostic heretics.
ANTICHRIST
- This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
- who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh.
- every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus
1 John 2:18
Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
1 John 2:22
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:3
but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
2 John 1:2
Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
though the son of perdition paul described is likely 'gnostic' also, he's a very specific entity.
SON OF PERDITION
- that man of sin
- the son of perdition
2 Thessalonians 2:2-4
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 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.

Let's make it short for everyone. Just exactly what is a specific entity that is referred to?
Zone is saying that there will be no personal, literal and individual ANTICHRIST that will assume any power on the earth nor have any personal dealings with Israel, nor will be able to deceive and turn on Israel. The man of sin and the son of perdition is not an individual person but a spirit or 'gnostic entity' that effects man. She is saying that if those that profess God as part of the church and look for a personal ANTICHRIST, or a man that claims he is God, that they will never see or find him because he has not, does not and will not exist in this world.
In other words, the ANTICHRIST is not a person and never will be. You can take that with a 'speckle of pepper' because she also thinks that Satan has been bound already at the ascension of Christ and that we have been in the millennium or the 1,000 year reign of Christ from the time Chris ascended into heaven, which makes it just over 2,000 years ago (or shall we say (2) millenniums ago). This is what happens when you spiritualize segments of God's revelation instead of taking them literal and applying them accordingly. When you wrestle with the scriptures in this manner, you are going to get messed up, and come out with some pretty strange ideas.

Come on now Zone. Does this entity come from human stock, angelic stock or what? Get it out in the open so that we know where you are coming from and like you always ask, include the scriptures. No clanging, just slap it on the table for all to behold.
Judas was from human stock that Satan entered into, who is this other that is inhabited by this evil entity?

I have heard what some have said but personally I have no idea as to his ethnic origin, but he will be very persuasive with the Jews of Israel and Israel doesn't get along with there half brothers who descend from Ishmael. No apology, but I would like to see the scriptures in support of your claim or some (concise) reliable source that is not bias and is considered balanced and trustworthy, if you have one.
i have all of that.
but you are disingenuous, so you'll have to do the work yourself.
good diversion tactics though.
so.....the conditioning IS holding: the bad guy will be islamic. RIGHT! how handy is THAT?
did muslims do 9-11 red?
is that why we all have to take part in these imperialst wars for israel?
did you know the pharisees traditions say they will control the whole region for their golden age?
SURPRISE!
and its one....two....three....what are we fightin' for...!

maybe YOU are the antichrist?? maybe the antichrist is someone who emulates christ with a hateful dispostition polluting the air with false messages and pointing fingers at other antichrists, what is not like Christ is anti christ... papal empirialism is not like christ who washed the feet of his disciples... i know that if the antichrist where here rite now,,, HE WOULD BE SAYING THAT THE ANTICHRIST WERE SOMEBODY ELSE

I want to talk about demons, devils and darkness. if we don't identify the enemy and their devices to corrupt then how can we use the spiritual weapons and words of the Bible to combat them?
Faith and grace and trust that God keeps us safe should show us what is what. Demons have NO POWER except that of lies and illusions. they use the power GOD gave YOU to wreck their destruction. Its YOUR FAITH in THEM that gives them power over you and this material world. If you have the Holy Spirit residing in you then You will KNOW that the power that lives within YOU is more powerful then any power that walks on Earth. We were coals and have been transformed into diamonds through the fire of the Holy Spirit. We have been baptized with Fire and Water.
The nature of the Anti Christ will claim to be very Christlike. Evil wears the garments of the saved. He will be exclaimed as the Savior of the world. He will be open to all religions and pretend to hold the ideals of peace, justice and equality as a veneer for gross injustice. People will be sacrificed on the altar of "peace" if they stand up and speak the Truth. Money will be their vanguard and means of control. He will preform "miracles" to deceive even God's chosen. Many will worship him, because he will say there is no God except what Mankind creates.
The mark of the God is a circumsized heart. why then wouldn't the mark of the beast be something spiritual as well? everyone is marked already, is it for God or for the world.
Think Satan asked God for Peter but Jesus told him that he prayed for his soul. According to scripture the Devil gets those who deny Jesus. Peter did it three times the night of Christ's cruxification. That was a sin but Jesus intervened and saved his soul.
We can spend our time talking about the Antichrist or spend it talking about Jesus.
Personally I don't think the Antichrist has been revealed yet and nothing I've read has shown me that he has been revealed. You will know when it happens when the world is united under the leadership of one dictator and he proclaims himself. For it to happen, Israel must fall to the hands of unbelievers and a God of Fortress must be established in the Temple (at least that is what Daniel 11 v. 36
"Then the King shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done.
He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all. but in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things. ...
He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels, but news from the east and the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many..."
1,290 days is how long Daniel says this King will rule. Has it already happened or does the prophecy still stand? History is my worst subject so I'm just wondering what prophecies still stand and which has already been fulfilled?
I think we are in the age of false prophets and teachers. you see them popping up everywhere leading people astray. How do you find the narrow path?

1,290 days is how long Daniel says this King will rule. Has it already happened or does the prophecy still stand? History is my worst subject so I'm just wondering what prophecies still stand and which has already been fulfilled?
