The Anti-Christ
For centuries (if not longer) the Anti-Christ has been talked about. We have been led to believe that the Anti-Christ was going to be a figure-head (person) and he would at one time or another in our future come. When he has arrived, it was supposed that it would not be a good thing for humanity, and some would say he would bring outright evil.Now, talking with a friend, it had occurred that with the turning away from the Christian religion...I am not saying that everyone should convert to Christianity...but I am talking about the decline in people being part of the Christian religion. I think I heard one time, about 10 years ago, there has been a 40% decline in people proclaiming to be Catholic, compared to the 1950's.
With this decline, people, by default, are turning away from the Bible. The Bible is the teaching of Jesus Christ (Word of God). Does it not make sense, if you are turning away from the teaching of Jesus Christ, you are therefore an anti-Christ?

As with your videos too String....
Just doing some juggling right now.
...by the way, the Vikins had Odin and Valhall, long before anyone up here had heard about the bible...
Yes. The Bible has been written by people, and has been interpreted through the years in different language, having some of the original meanings of messages lost. Religion is a faith. Faith is having a belief in something beyond you... If we all lived life selfishly, I wonder what are current society would be. Well, the way things are going today, I think we are starting to find out.
But the point of this blog is about anti-Bible = Anti-Christ. I get what you are saying with people writing the book.
Here is what I have so far...I will continue soon afterwards here.
I agree, God cannot be limited to a book or an institution...and yes these are man made.
Near the end of your statement, you mention God more specifically, as "loving."
My knowledge of religions outside of Christianity is very limited. But on could say the message of the Bible is one of ultimately peace. Perhaps it is a set of guidelines in which people could use to satisfy a "loving" God, in return, allowing a follower of these guidelines a life of the pursuit of peace. When I say peace, I mean a peace from within one's self.
Surely, a loving God would prefer a population of peace minded people. After all, it has been proven and ill-minded person can produce ill behaviors, and vice versa with a peaceful mind.
Okay...let's shift gears a bit here.
I keep on hearing from many here that religion is man made. I agree. The books are man (or woman)...for all we know, written. The choosing of the Prophets being picked by men. Hmmm....as I am writing this, something just struck me...religion is MAN made...probably something a feminist society might not be impressed with...
Alright, off a tangent there. But anyway, as we know of everything with religion, yes, yes, and yes...man made. Have you ever taken a look at our ancient history? (what we know of it anyway) Is it possible that man and woman...were more in tune with the universe (or nature if you would like), than we are today? The Native Americans claim to have a deep knowledge of the universe. There are structures that have been built with methods we still do not understand today. What about the Mayans with their intricate knowledge of the skies? Is it possible that modern life has been distracted and cannot understand how the teachings of Christ and the Word of God has been translated by human hands into words?
Even aside from all of that....let us not even be concerned about the speculation there...
Would you not agree that the Ten Commandments, if followed as closely as one can, would not lead to a more peacefully internal life....hence, leading to a peacefully external life?
Now...with all that being said. I have a sneaking suspicion that the God the Christian religion follows, may be the God that many other religion follows. When I agreed with you about God not being able to be limited to a book or an institution, I believe God may be an energy...that is in everything.
But....being the Bible is advertised (if this makes you feel better ) as the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Word of God, it just makes sense if one is against it (or anti-Bible), they would be Anti-Christ.
...just some crude thoughts of mine, awaiting to be chiseled finer. :)
What about that thought of mine??? Man-made religion, in a feminist evolving world???
Here is a link that will substantiate my thoughts. Good to ask questions and test your beliefs, God asks you to.
Honestly speaking, if someone takes an eye, would you take an eye for it, or give your other eye too, according to the rules of engagement?
I'd rather try to live in a way that no one will want to take my eye.
Good info.

If it is even possible to be more beautiful than you already are, you are more beautiful when you are serious.
Lincoln had some simplistic views on living a peaceful life.
But....good points.
I don't like leaving by saying good points to you...I am sure I can dig up a stance.
You never hear nothing about South America causing grief. I wonder if we have been fooled into believing that continent exists. next blog. lol
All I know is I've met a few people who were very religious and they were mean.
Yet, other people I know who are real religious, they don't talk much about it or preach it, they just live it. I can see by their lifestyle, that they are just really nice and good people.
Oh, one lady I knew some years back, she constantly told anyone who would listen, that she was real religious, and on an on. And that's all good and fine.. but then she always talked bad about other people.. and WHEW, she was one mean lady. Never had a good word to say about anyone. I wondered, "How could she say she's so religious, when she's always angry and mad at everyone?"
I think if people believe in one thing or another.. it will just show in the way they live their lives.
Just my op-onion on all this.
Have a good night and day.
point well taken though.
