November 6, 200817 yr Now let me clarify, and state that I'm not saying Obama is the antichrist. There are some things that you read though, that really make you compare the similarities between the two. The antichrist is mentioned in 1 John 2:18-19, 1 John 2:22-23, 1 John 4:2-3 and 2 John 1:7. Without going into the darker meaning of the antichrist's existence, for a moment let us talk about how he will come to power. Judeo-Christian teachings tell us the antichrist is a man who will have unbelievable charisma. This man of perdition will claim he is an emissary of peace and hope. The entire world will buy into his lies and deception. The antichrist will be given great spiritual powers by dark forces. However, he will also be given great political power by men who see him as a type of secular messiah. Eventually, the antichrist will reveal his true nature--after he has assumed authority over the entire world--and it will take God's intervention alone to defeat him. Scripture goes one step further by saying, even those who know the truth will have the potential to be deceived by the antichrist--and some will. Now many will scoff at my commentary, saying I'm just another goofy Christian, playing out some sort of forecast of spiritual gloom and doom at the expense of a great man. That's just it. Though a lot more would have to happen before I would truly believe Sen. Obama was a key player on the road to Armageddon, the nay-sayers would still have to "show me" even though I don't hail from Missouri. Obama talks about bringing our nation together, but he doesn't explain how he would accomplish this lofty goal. For example, those who support abortion rights believe women should have access to this procedure upon demand. In contrast, people like myself actually believe the taking of an innocent unborn child's life is murder--or something very close to it. Indeed, Obama seems to be the person least qualified to bring unity over this subject because he and Hillary Rodham Clinton were arguing about which one of them would allow the killing of more unborn children. Obama would grant "amnesty" or "a path to citizenship" to over 12 million who are in this nation illegally. Meanwhile, over 75% of Americans are against such a plan and want our nation's borders with Mexico secured. The Senator from Illinois has lofty aspirations regarding health care that would cost American taxpayers billions of dollars. Most Americans oppose any tax hike. Therefore, such a plan would be impossible to implement. The litany goes on and on. Obama offers hope and change, change and hope, but, in reality, the political atmosphere in the United States says something completely different. There would be "hope" if only all Americans would agree with the practice of abortion. Will we finally experience change when a vast number of U.S. citizens say there should be no border with Mexico? Will we all come together, if we simply create dialogue with people who have sworn to kill us, like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as Obama suggests? http://rffm.typepad.com/republicans_for_fair_medi/2008/02/obama-the-antic.html If you don't think Obama is the anti-christ, what is the point of that junk?
November 6, 200817 yr I don't know about you, but my favorite was Reverend Deuteronomy Skaggs. "Don't make me holler, don't make me shout, turn them pockets inside out!" Smiling just thinking about him. Not sure I could pick a favorite as they all seemed to be just what I needed after a day's work. The man is brilliant.
November 6, 200817 yr Apology accepted. From Anti-Christ to Hitler in just a few days. By Inauguration Day we may be down to Dubya... baby steps..........
November 6, 200817 yr Crazy world we live in, when crap like this is deemed credible, and otherwise very nice, reasonable, smart people resort to spreading it around as if it were truth.
November 6, 200817 yr I sure hope your avatar isn't in honor of Mr. Keightly, because I worked with him and he would be greatly dissapointed in these statements. Was thinking the samething.
November 6, 200817 yr When Obama starts invading countries for the sake of gaining territory and wiping out minorities, then I'll start agreeing with you.
November 6, 200817 yr When Obama starts invading countries for the sake of gaining territory and wiping out minorities, then I'll start agreeing with you. Exactly which minorities are being wiped out now?
November 6, 200817 yr Simple Q. What minorities are being wiped out now? None in the U.S., I hope. I just don't understand why you're asking me that.
November 6, 200817 yr None in the U.S., I hope. I just don't understand why you're asking me that. Perhaps I misunderstood post #36. My bad. I thought you were alluding to a situation in which minorities were currently being wiped out by someone in this country.
November 6, 200817 yr Perhaps I misunderstood post #36. My bad. I thought you were alluding to a situation in which minorities were currently being wiped out by someone in this country. I'm pretty sure he was just referring to the original comparison in this thread, that being Hitler.
November 6, 200817 yr Perhaps I misunderstood post #36. My bad. I thought you were alluding to a situation in which minorities were currently being wiped out by someone in this country. Notice the word "When" in front of the sentence. Until it happens I'll call off my comparisons to Hitler.
November 6, 200817 yr Shouldn't we at least wait to see how he's going to govern before making comparisons? I have a feeling that BHO is going to move to the center aisle. At least I hope so...
November 6, 200817 yr Notice the word "When" in front of the sentence. Until it happens I'll call off my comparisons to Hitler. Again my bad. Even someone with superior intelligence and schooling such as myself makes a mistake occasionally. :laugh::laugh:
