Is Obama THE Antichrist?

[kopema]

I usually do not comment on religeous matters, but this post caught my attention. If one reads both the Old And New testaments God is portrayed quite differently. In the Old the writings are of a vengeful God in some instances. However, in the New, he is portayed as a totally loving God. God did not change, the views of the authors are different.

Unsurprisingly, the later Koran is more violent than the earlier parts.  Allah changed. God did not.

The Old Testament is the Readers' Digest Condensed version of a whole bunch of Jewish tomes chronicling mankind's ascent from barbarism to enlightenment.  The Koran is essentially the same thing; except in reverse.

Fanatics of all anti-Christian cults (including Atheism) cherry pick wildly out-of-context excerpts from the Old Testament to redefine "Christianity," while they assiduously ignore the New Covenant.  That's about as anti-Christ as it's possible to be.  So it's more than a little silly to go around counting horns to try and figure out who among them should receive top billing.

The "Jesus" of the NT IS the God of the OT. One of His purposes in His first appearance as the Son of MAN was to reveal the Father.  That "mean old God of the OT" WAS what most today call "Jesus." He hasn't changed. Most today would reject the real Christ when He returns -- they won't recognize Him from what they were taught by modern "christianity."

Thanks.

This is a joke right? I mean no rational educated civilized person could actually believe this tripe?
It also hurts the conservative movement when this idiocy is given credence.

Also to the people who are happy that they think the world is going to end, is your life so horrible that you want it to end? I happen to love my life and family and would give almost anything for just more time on this amazing planet. But luckily for us the universe works within the bounds of physics not mysticism.

The world will end when The Sun stops turning He into H, so roughly 5 billion years.

Here if a list of all the wrong end of the world predictions (ie all of them).  http://www.bible.ca/pre-date-setters.htm
If you look at the more recent ones they seem to be made when money is involved (shut stunned amazed). Be it trying to sell a book, advertising etc it is sickening.

Please at least read the list. I hate it when people are taken advantage of.

Well put, and thank you for doing so. Reading the King James Bible has always been like reading two different books, with two different outlooks. The OT is doom and gloom, while the NT is sweetness and light.

PEOPLE wrote the Bible.

The King James Translation was made for the language used in 1610. But the English language has changed:

- No meaning of any word that was coined after 1610 can be used to interpret the Scriptures in the King James Bible.

- You must know the now disused meanings of many words that have new meanings.

Use a modern translation, such as the New International Version or the New King James Version.

I'm absolutely dumbfounded that there are people (outside of psychiatric facilities, I mean) who actually believe the "antichrist" is a real entity instead of the metaphor it so obviously is.

It's scary to think people like that are allowed to run around loose, drive cars, even own weapons.

Also, folks who live in Crazytown shouldn't be allowed to vote in elections in the real world.

If you believe that it is all metaphor, you are denying the religious beliefs of most Christians. You must have been educated by atheist schoolteachers. Your post is almost a hate crime against religious belief.

These are real events in the future, and if we live long enough, we will see it happen.

Another Atheist who believes in what the liberal Atheist schoolteachers taught him, but rejects God. People like @Stanthemilkman are the kind of people who don't care if Obama takes our right to obey our religion away. He is probably a shill who wants Obamacare for himself.

If God has the power we believe He has, then He can end the world any time He wants and with any method he wants.

When the world ends, we go to be with God.

Obama is more like the false prophet. But the US could be the Beast (a beast is a government in prophecy).

Obama says he is Christian, but he wants to take religious rights away to give special rights for the sins of abortion and homosexuality.
