Wow I'm flattered that you took the time to respond so thoroughly, however I'm not going through that.
All I'm interested in is the source for your number of 25,000,000 and I'm guessing there isn't one.
Thanks. I didnt know that. ''The Bible describes the antichrist as both a spirit of deception active throughout history and a specific end-times figure who will oppose Christ. 1 John 2:18 tells us that many antichrists have already come, while 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 describes a “man of lawlessness” who will exalt himself above God in the last days.''
Read the first book I listed which gives you that number - don't be lazy and just assume, read the history. And yes It took ages typing all that out, and now I feel like I just wasted my time answering you.
You totally wasted your time.
Your claim that 25,000,000 Christians were killed by "the papal system" is ridiculous.
1 John 4:3 has the word antichrist in it, but what most people refer to as the antichrist is actually what Paul calls "the man of sin" in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 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;
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.
History books tell us otherwise, and if you add onto that those Orthodox Christians killed in Croatia by the Catholic regime in the World War, and then Vietnam also under a Catholic regime - albeit those were mostly Buddhists, her tally mounts up even more. When in power and able to get away with it her cup is full of blood.
If you have access to the internet, then you have access to Google or A.I. This might be a good time to use it,
Historical estimates vary significantly, with some Protestant writers and polemical sources claiming figures ranging from 50 million to 150 million Christians killed by the Papacy between the 6th and 17th centuries. Specific sources, such as John Dowling’s History of Romanism (1847), assert that more than 50 million were slaughtered for heresy, while others like W.C. Brownlee estimated 68.5 million total deaths when including non-Christians and colonial victims.
So I mis-remembered it and it was actually more, I will have to look at my Foxes Book of Martyrs again
Does this include the Witch Trials in Europe from the 14th to the 18th centuries? I am told the Kings directing many of them were Freemasons. So essentially Witches v Witches.So I mis-remembered it and it was actually more, I will have to look at my Foxes Book of Martyrs again
