Trump doesn't fit the biblical description of the Antichrist.

Revelation 13:8 says the Antichrist will be worshiped by "all who dwell on the earth". Trump isn't universally adored and instead faces widespread opposition.

He simply isn't popular enough to match the Bible's portrayal of the Anti-Christ regardless what else might be said.

Near-total global appeal is a critical characteristic of the Antichrist and that's something Trump does not and will never have.

Interestly....anyone insisting Trump is the Antichrist is also saying Jesus is God.

You can't accept one part of a biblical story without accepting the rest.

Corky,

What about my point if you are claiming to believe part of the Bible that there will be an Antichrist, then you are also saying the rest of the Biblical account is true.

You are saying Jesus is God.

How do you explain that?

Corky,

"The two things have little to do with each other; one thing in the bible being accurate does not mean all the rest is accurate."

You are now officially a dork.

Corky,

It seems you accept the Bible's prophecies concerning the end times.

According to those prophecies, the Messiah must first appear before the Antichrist emerges.

If I understand you correctly, you're suggesting that Jesus was indeed this prophesied Messiah?

Db,

I agree that the Bible is interpreted in many different ways.

However, one belief nearly all people calling themselves Christian share is that Jesus is the Messiah and the Son of God.

Those who don't hold this belief are Christians in name only, as far as I'm concerned.

Db,

I don't believe the Bible is the inerant word of God.

Most certainly not any English version.

As if English is God's official language...

I believe it was inspired by God, but written by men, in our limited forms of written communication.

That said,I do agree with you that the mysteries are being revealed to us over time.

Corky,

The Bible teaches that the Messiah's first appearance happens before the Antichrist emerges.

The events tied to the Antichrist are associated with the end times, which come before the Second Coming of Christ and not His first.

Corky,

The whole point of the "anti"-Christ is that there's a Christ first.

Anti who exactly?

Otherwise, it's just some villain in a movie and the hero hasn't even been cast yet or like Darth Vader pacing around waiting for Luke to be born.

Corky,

You gonna have a prophesized second coming without a first?

Again...if you claim Trump is the Antichrist, then you are saying Jesus is the prophesized Messiah...the Son of God.

I'm done.

Corky

Last post...really.

How was about maybe Musk is the Antichrist?

But...I'd put my money on Musk is an alien from outer space.

I mean...the way he's obsessed with Mars like maybe he's trying to phone home.

Lamp,

Ordained by God?

I don't have an opinion on that.

It most certainly is possible God saved Trump's life that day, I believe.

God also created man with a free will.

Maybe he's in office simply because we voted for him.

Lamp,

The Bible does say God deposes leaders and raises others up.

I never talk about that because some leaders are just awful.

I actually don't claim to know such things for a fact what God has done.

I'll leave those statements to people with better insight into God's will or at least have political motivations.

Db,

agnostic is better than atheist where one completely denies God.
