Jew.  The people who decide to rebuild a temple to put back into practice the Judaic system are not simply going to discard the command that only the high priest is allowed in the holy of holies.  If you look at the order of this forum, an inner court for believers, and an outer court for non-believers, it is based on the very system Israel used in scripture.  The Levitical order is not simply going to allow a gentile into the inner court of the temple.  They are not going to go to all that trouble of rebuilding a temple according to scripture, making all of the garments and other pieces that are required according to scripture, and then dismiss who is allowed inside according to scripture.

The anti christ is satan himself 

The 4th beast of Daniel is totally supernatural

There is never a reference to antichrist being a man in scripture. There is a man of perdition. Antichrist is always spoken of in terms of "spirit of antichrist" which means a spirit which is not of Christ.

Spiritualizing the antichrist is a mistake and will cause stumbling for yourself and others. 

Scripture is crystal clear 'he' is a 'man.'

Why would John refer to many antichrists if the inference didnt point to THE ANTICHRIST? John compares a human ANTICHRIST to antichrists ie those who 'went out' because they were never in Christ to begin with.

 

^{1john 2:18} Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. ¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.

Look at this . 

The man of lawlessness will set himself up in Gods temple proclaiming to be God . 2 Thess 2:1-5

Now look at this:

The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan worked. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie..2 Thess 2:9-10

Im curious. Are the two witnesses spiritual as well in your opinion?

The antichrist will be much more than a demon possessed man .  

He will be Satan himself incarnate in the flesh .

That is an entirely different animal .

The Antichrist will be a MAN who will receive his power from Satan.

Rev 13:16-18,    V 16, And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 

    17, And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 

    18, Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a MAN; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

1 John 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

2 John 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

 

Everyone who denies Christ or does not believe is an antichrist. I think what you and others are referring to is actually the man of perdition/lawlessness.

2 Thessalonians 2:3Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son  of destruction,

 

I believe our biggest difference here just comes down to semantics.

No. it isnt "semantics". You handle scripture recklessly! 

The son of perdition( not man) was Judas Iscariot. 

Heres some more truth:

Question: "Who is the son of perdition?"

Answer: The title “son of perdition” is used twice in the New Testament, first in John 17:12 and again in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. The phrase simply means “man doomed to destruction” and is not reserved for any one individual. In fact, there are two people to which the title “son of perdition” is applied. In context, John 17:12 is referring to Judas Iscariot, while 2 Thessalonians 2:3 is referring to the “man of lawlessness”—the Antichrist—who will appear in the end times before Christ’s return.

Yes, that is what I said.

No. You wrongly state the antichrist is spirit. He will be a REAL FLESH AND BLOOD MAN  that is possessed by satan. 

We do not agree. 

It isnt semantics. 

You didnt answer my question btw

So, "you handle scripture recklessly"  That is considered a horrible offense is it??  

It's a violation of the terms of service.

Debate the subject, not the person. It is possible to disagree about a doctrine or subject under discussion without insulting the person with whom you are debating. Also remember that the fact that a person disagrees with you does not mean they are attacking you as a person. Respect each other in the love of God! This is the main reason that threads get stopped, shut down, and even deleted!  We also reserve the right to remove any member from any thread for any of these violations. Users that cannot respect others will be banned. (Lev. 19:18)

The subject here is the antiChrist, not someone's expository abilities.

" being a reckless driver" .....it means carelessly, without caution, sloppily , so that is verboden is it? a bad word?  Hmm who are the snowflakes here that are taking quick offence? what has happened on this forum?

It's not a bad word or verboten, of course, but you can't accuse people of it here.

Are only awards &  complements are allowed when it comes to mishandling and incorrectly dividing the Word of GOD?  so if one would say "You have not correctly divided the Word! or that is a sloppy dividing of the Word of God." That Is that considered  insulting by the Mods now is it or only when certain individuals would say that?  

Whether or not it is insulting, it is debating the person and not the subject. The problem is when people want to make comments about the people they are debating rather than just sticking to the subject.

Really there is some very biased moderation going on here.  Why is it some individuals can make very snide remarks & it's Ok with the Mods , they are protected and get overlooked, this is bewildering to me,  but to say "recklessly" by another gets them banned from a thread?? 

We mainly only see posts that are reported. Probably 90-95 percent of people who are banned from threads or have their comments removed have been reported, which alerts us to it. If something gets overlooked, it's usually because we don't know about it, not because some individuals are "protected."

Just now, Davida said:

Steve , with all due respect , some people have said way worse then  "you recklessly divide the Word" but they don't get banned from threads . 

If so, we almost certainly didn't see it. We don't have time to view even a reasonable percentage of the comments made here every day, particularly in some threads that go to 10 or 15 pages in a day or two. Often times there are multiple insults in threads that grow this fast and are contentious before we see the first report and usually those threads end up deleted because we don't have time to peruse all of it to clean it out. Any time you see something such as this, you should report it, and it will be dealt with.

 Who reported "recklessly" as a reportable offense does not judge by  righteous judgment  -  this shows very biased lopsided enforcement of the moderation.  It is untrustworthy and based upon personality not on TOS or worse - retaliation. 

It's debating the subject, not the person. It's a violation of the terms of use, which ever member who joins this site agrees to abide upon registration.
