Now imagine something like this winding up on CNN or BBC and what not! Hell would break loose... I mean.... err people would go crazy!
The article meant the Anti Christ as most people see him, like some sort of apocalyptic paranormal James Bond villain.
I'm a Christian (for lack of a better term I'm not very fond of "my people" these days), but I thought that was all common knowledge. To big things most people don't know are: 1) The bible doesn't "thou shalt not kill" it says not to murder 2) money is not "the root of all evil" it says "the love of money is at the root of all evil" There are 5,000,000,000 more that people don't get (which is why Christians are acting like a bunch of crazy dumbasses), but those two are misquoted constantly.
i suggest you go get a greek bible my friend. the bible is quite clear its not our place to pass judgement on anyone or any thing. that includes killing for self defense or outright murder. god says " Do nothing" god also says "Vengance is MINE" not ours.
If we didn't pass judgment we'd all be dead. "That lion just ate my child. Oh well, I'll invite it into my house to play with my second child anyway. Who am I to judge?"
Ah, but the bible gives humans the right to do anything to the animals, so you're OK with killing that lion.
My point is people misquote the book constantly. I only picked those because they're the common ones. They also make up stuff they want to be true and pretend it's in there. What I'm mainly getting at is the whole American Christian idea. Everything people are obsessing about recently, especially regarding politics (ahem, Tea Party) has nothing to do with the bible. It's wayyyyyy out of hand. That's why I say I'm a Christian, but don't like to use that word. I don't want to be associated with them. Whatever stereotype pops into mind when I say Cristian is way off.
Jesus would probably agree - if you read any of the parts of the bible with him in it it becomes very obvious that he'd bend over backward to help kids. I'm sure there's a special place in hell for pedophiles.
Most people are right, at least this is who the Anti Christ is in my mind and I'm a stubborn son of a b****.
I understand what your saying but as for the lion part we were given discernment to use instead of judging. Edit: The anti-Christ will probably be very charismatic and gather a big following from false beliefs. Yea, the AC will be very likable I'm sure. But I've read the book so know the ending.
