Do you belive such character will appear
If yes what kind of life the prohpesies say he will have before rising to power
When is he suppose to rise to power
For what purpose
And finally how old he should be say around 2012?
There must be some 'hard to find' prophesies and clues somewhere in Bible surely?

i've heard that the anti-christ is going to be nibiru, but you'd have to accept that nibiru exists before coming to that conclusion. [
] i don't know what to think of that myself, being atheist. biblical prophets might've just seen its arrival and interpreted it as being something evil..

Tyler,
The books of Daniel and Revelation are the ones you want for anti christ info.
Im not into the whole anti-christ/end of the world thing, but I do know that he is apparently going to be assasinated and then come back and say he is the messiah.

The above thread is more or less a microcosm of the kind of idiotic things people say to eachother when religion comes up and it goes to show just how pigheaded and defensive (or offensive) otherwise intelligent, normal people become when certain ideologically charged words arise in conversation.
I am not passing judgement, just verbalizing an observation.

According to the Bible anti Christ should rise in 2009 which is the year marked as "rise of the beast".
What is his purpose to challenge Jesus the Christ at the second coming? or pretend to be him?

I wonder why do we have to live through so much pain before the second coming?
The august bogus "terrorist accident" soon will be here.
Then the nuke in NY.
Then the earth quakes in 2005.
All carried out by the Illuminati - Satan's secret service.
Why allow them do it?

1) In order to buy things, we will need a mark, either on our foreheads or wrists. Apparently this is the mark of the antichrist.
2) The world will in such a screwed up state(brought on by man getting away from a spiritual life in favor of a material one) that people will welcome this man and I think he is supposed to perform miracles(i.e resurrection).
3) One world government/ religion(those seeking a more free path i.e. new age, will find that it will be very similar).
That's all I can remember now.
You can try:

The people there irritate me beyond belief, but they know more about the christian supposed end times than anyone else. You can also find out more about the rapture there(can't help you, I don't believe it will happen).

I believe their are entities in the Spiritual realm, who once existed with God and the other Holy Angels in a particular kind of home in the Spritual realm, created by God. One day some of these Angels got the idea that they could take over the place because the place was a peaceful place and non-warlike, where entities who were mostly peaceful in nature just enjoyed life. Well anyway some of these Angels got the big-head thinking we can take over these meek fun loving entities up her. They probably were even stupid enough to think they could take over God.
I believe these Angels made their moves, and war broke out suddenly, and the lines were drawn suddenly. I believe the fallen angels (the ones who thought they could take over everything) we're kind of in shock when they saw and experienced that these other fun loving, Angels were actually capable of fighting not only at the same level of them but even possibly a higher level, because they generated their fighting power from love, not evil or ego.
In Summary the evil angels lost the battle, and retreated from trying to take over the heavens. I feel that in their retreat while the battle was still raging a little bit, that they attacked mankind in a certain way and got mankind to sin, so that God with the Holy Angels had to find a way to redeem mankind back. It was the fallen angels that started the things up in heaven, not mankind, and that is why God made a way for them back to him.
The evil angels who lost and have chosen not to repent or change their character is the Antichrist, and their leader in particluar is the antichrist. The Spirit of that antichrist is going to find an ignorant stupid egotistical human somewhere in the world, and try to work it's evil through that person.
But in the end, however it turns out or plays out, evil will lose.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from the last line of your post it would appear we would both say yes to that.

Supposedly satan is the moron who thought he could make the world a *better* place. But of course he didn't, however for some reason he is in control of this planet and has been in control for the last .... hmmm about last 10 000 years.
Why?
POWER STRUCTURE
satan
-
9 metaphysical assistants
-
3rd party clans and priests
-
in house priests and illuminati primis
-
The rest of the gang, banks, politicians, security services etc
I recon "anti Christ" is his counter strike to the Christ. Like "God sent his Son and i will send mine".
#20 · Jul 01, 2003, 06:03 · Tyler
Do you know how much pain and torture is going on on this planet at ANY GIVEN MOMENT? And it has been going on for a really long time. And it's about to intensify in the nearest future.
The question is why God allows that to happen?
Supposedly they will be stopped after 2012 when most of life has been destroyed, but why not before?

"That one makes me laugh every time" - roy
i can see where roy's coming from. it's amusing to me, too. when you look at such questions from an atheist's point of view, maybe you can understand why..
"yea, i would like to see you laugh, i would like to see you walking down a street when someone puts a bag over your head, shoves you in the trunk, then tortures and mutilates you for 50 day straight, keeping you alive on glucose life support, ripping out 1 organ at a time while shouting and chanting to satan.

so why would 'god' allow that to happen, tyler? he's supposively infinitely forgiving yet you seem to think these things take place, and i don't doubt they do. this alone would challenge a very basic concept of christian god: that he is infinitely loving and forgiving as well as all-powerful. now one of those statements is apparently not true. if he was infinitely loving he would save one of his followers from being tortured, right? unless he wasn't all-powerful.. and if he wasn't infinitely loving, he would have the opportunity to save the person, but would just choose not to. why? because the person wasn't 'holy' enough? . . .
#27 · Jul 03, 2003, 06:49 · Terry B
To understand God, one must think like...
Whoaa... Is this even possible? [
]
A fish trying to understand the fisherman? Is there a fishermen?
What is God realy like? What is characteristic of God? Is God all-forgiving? Is God just? How can God be just and merciful at the same time? Do God forgive our wrong to Him (just for convenience... do you really believe God is male, or female, like us? Or really this only applies to us? What about amoeba?) This has been discussed for such a long time.. And surprisingly the answer are not any nearer to us...
Find out this, and more when you are no longer in this world. Or you may went through all eternity not knowing the truth at all.
Ps: Don't ask me about this, I'm just making it up as I type...[

Considering you're an atheist, don't you feel that it's a waste of time to talk about a non-existent being?[

Or is it a part time job?
Anyway it's always human nature to only think about God when in dire need. Where is god when I need One?

Why have I changed my tune? Three nights ago as I was casually walking home and I encountered a man. He was tall, dark and dressed in an odd fasion. He said 'Honor me, for I am the Falconer!', I replied with what I thought was a coy remark. To my shock, he became enraged. Never have I seen a man so red with hatred for another. He attacked me, so quickly, so violently that I pondered whether he harnessed some other force.
As I lay there in my own crapulence, in a bloody mess of confusion, I cried. He heard my cry, and responded with more anger and fear. I was carried away, into a small building within a forest. It had some odd markings around the building, my blood curled at the thought. I tried to grasp what was going on, but my own survival took priority. At this point, The Falconer sat me down in an old wooden chair. In front of me was a desk and a knife. I could not copprehend what was going on, or what was going to happen. Yet soon enough, I did. The Falconer removed my digets, finger by finger while chanting something in tongues. It was at this point I realized my ignorance, my stupidity... he was a satanist.
At any rate, long story short I got home and typed this message with the remaing two fingers I have.
