Do you know the Anti Christ

Great Debates
1

Don’t know how true this is.
This Monday in British news there was an interview with a Cardinal from the Vatican who claimed that the Anti Christ was alive and well.
The signs of the Anti Christ were ;-
vegetarian
environmentalist
animal rights activist
human rights activist

AM I THE ANTI CHRIST? I just didn’t realise it till now but I am obviously EVIL.

So do you know the anti-christ, in fact I want to know if anyone actually believes in the whole idea?

While I do believe in the bible, etc, I have to believe that the Antichrist has to also be French.

And I don’t plan on keeping this as my sig for long, just until the winning buzz wears off.

Didn’t Strom Thurmond once say that interest in human rights and environmental issues were signs of drug use?

I have an Auntie Chris, does that count?

Cite?

The RCC is probably the institution least interested in turning ancient symbolic prohecies into current predictions. It would be interesting to know what cardinal has allegedly wandered outside the mainstream to embrace this sort of silliness.

(On the other hand, a quoted “interview” in a tabloid can be made to say a whole lot of different things. When John Paul II put out an address a few months ago summarizing the RCC views on Hell (and making no changes to beliefs I had been taught in the 1950’s), one of the tabloids (The Globe?) published excerpts as if they were some grand new revelation.)

I think we’ve narrowed it down to two people:

Either Bill Gates or Al Gore.

Here’s why:

The “number of The Beast” is 666.

In Roman numerals, three sixes are VIVIVI.

That is very similar to WWW, the world wide web, or “The Internet.”

Bill Gates had a heavy role in the marketing of PCs that gave birth to the Internet.

Al Gore, on the other hand, invented the Internet.

So, those are the two to watch out for.

Mjollnir, it must be Al Gore because we already know that Bill gates is Satan; haven’t you seen the proof? :wink:

8

Now you take that back…

Yer pal,
Satan

I’m sorry, Satan, I didn’t mean you, I meant the other guy who calls himself Satan, I mean… Oh hell. :smiley:

Oh, do you know the Anti Christ
the Anti Christ, the Anti Christ
Oh, do you know the Anti Christ,
Who lives in Drury Lane
[/sings]

So go look there already!

…but when you get blue, and you’ve lost all your dreams, there’s nothing like a campfire and a can of beans!

11

Drury Lane? The Antichrist does cheap-ass theater out in the western suburbs? :slight_smile:

12

Oops! ;( Cheap-ass DINNER theater out in the western suburbs.

13

I’ve heard of him (Anti Christ) but I never have met Bill Gates.

Keep smiling it makes 'em wonder what you’ve been up to.

14

Anyone remember watching that Nostradamus movie about 20 years ago, narrated by Orson Welles? There was supposed to be a guy in a blue turban from the Middle East who was the third antichrist (after Napoleon and Hitler). Who was that? Saddam Hussein? or any other guesses?

I mis-wasted my youth.

Ok, I’m going to be serious for a second, even if this thread has been mostly humorous.

Here’s a really good rule of thumb. The person who the media, and your friends say IS the anti-Christ, really isn’t him.

When the Jews, and others, think that their savior has come for the first time; THAT man, will most likely be the anti-Christ.

He’ll be the leader you love the most, trust the most, and want to follow the most. He will deceive billions of people.

16

So Jesus was the Anti-Christ?

17

Well, in essence, he will try and be Jesus. I’m not sure if your question was sarcastic or not Ryan. But, yes, the idea is that this Anti-Christ will fool the world into believing he is the savior.

“Life is hard…but God is good”

18

My point was that pretty much the only difference between Christians’ descriptions of Jesus and the Anti-Christ is that they somehow magically know that Jesus was good and the Anti-Christ is bad. There’s absolutely nothing to distiguish Jesus from the Anti-Christ; anything Jesus allegedly did, it is conceivable that the Anti-Christ will be able to do. And just as you say that the Anti-Christ will pretend to be Jesus, many Jews believe that Jesus was pretending to be God. How can you base your life on a belief system that posits that good and evil appear exactly the same, except perhaps to certain special people “gifted” with faith in a ceratin person? Are you so sure of your infallibility that you are sure that even though the Anti-Christ is capable of “fooling billions”, he’s not capable of fooling you?

19

Can the anti-Christ be female? Maybe it’s me! I’m even Jewish, too. Who was it that said that the anti-Christ was alive today and was a Jewish male?

Tom, I don’t have a cite, but I saw the article a couple days ago in the London Times. Pretty reputable source, IMO.

Know him? Hell, I’m dating him. But seeing as I believe that Christ was just a pretty cool guy with no special connection to God, I’d guess the “real” antichrist is just your average asshole.
