2 Thessalonians ch. 2 teaches us that before we are gathered together to Jesus Christ, there will be the deception of Satan as the false Christ.
If I may ask you a question about how you are viewing this text... focusing in (first of all, for this question) on
verses 1 and 2, what would you say Paul is conveying
in verse 2?
IOW, what is the "false claim" that he is cautioning the Thessalonians about (
in verse 2)?
How would you put it into your own words?
By the way, welcome to CC! I see you're new here. Hope to see you around the boards!
