Son of Perdition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Son of Perdition found in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 and is a name commonly associated with the Antichrist mentioned in 1 and 2 John. Some commentators have linked the term and identity to the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope (See Free Presbyterian Church, Ian Paisley and Historicism). The Eastern Orthodox tradition condiders him to come at the time of the End of the World, when the 'katechon' (the one who restains) will be taken out. Some understand 'katechon' as an Orthodox emperor, some as a secret mysterious organization, that keeps on restraining the Evil after the fall of all Orthodox empires.

Son of Perdition is also well known as a term used by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (sometimes referred to as Mormons) to describe a person who will not take any part in the glory of God in the afterlife. This is in contrast to most people, who will receive a "kingdom of glory" after the Final Judgment, and enter into either the Celestial, Terrestrial, or Telestial Kingdom. Most Latter-day Saints believe that the Sons of Perdition will be cast into outer darkness; the scriptures do not use this term in connection with the Sons of Perdition, but state that they "shall go away into the lake of fire and brimstone, with the devil and his angels."[1]

Mormons believe that free will is one of the greatest gifts of God, and therefore that there could be some who completely reject Jesus Christ and salvation. God will not force someone, for example Satan, to be saved if Satan desires not to be saved. Sons of Perdition are not so much punished in Mormon theology as allowed to walk away from God and live in whatever amount of darkness feels comfortable to them.

In an LDS context, the name Perdition refers to either Lucifer (D&C 76:26) or Cain (Moses 5:24), both of whom are symbols of ultimate evil.

According to LDS theology, there are two classes of persons who will become sons of perdition:

1. The pre-mortal hosts (or followers) of Satan. It is taught that, in the pre-mortal life, they chose to follow a plan proposed by Satan, rather than God and Jesus' plan. Thus ensued the First War in Heaven.
2. Those in mortal life who "deny the Holy Ghost," which is generally interpreted as leaving and fighting against the LDS Church after receiving a personal witness of the truthfulness of the Gospel from the Holy Ghost. It is frequently—though not universally—added that a son of perdition must have a "perfect knowledge" of the truth of the Church (mere faith is not enough). Generally, the requirement of perfect knowledge is only fulfilled by a personal visitation from Jesus Christ or an angel of the Lord. This was taught by LDS Church President Spencer W. Kimball.

In The Doctrine and Covenants, Covenant 88:24, they are described as inhabiting "a kingdom which is not a kingdom of glory." The most comprehensive exposition of the phrase can be found in Section 76 in the Doctrine and Covenants (The Doctrine and Covenants, Covenant 76)

Answer 2

The son of perdition mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 is the Antichrist, not the spirit of antichrist, but a literal man filled with satanic power, who will make peace in the middle-east, and who many will worship as a god.

Here are some of his other names:
1. the little horn, Daniel 7:8
2. the king of fierce countenance, Daniel 8:23
3. The prince that shall come, Daniel 9:26
4. the willful king, Daniel 11:36
5. the wicked one, 2 Thessalonians 2:8
6. The beast, Revelation 13:1

Answer 3

The Son of Perdition (upper case)refers to a person with evil intent. Such as the terrorists, people who intend to do evil. Someone who is definatley under Satan's infulence. Judas was one such person and Jesus knew this.

the son of perdition (lower case) refers to the sin nature that is inside every man. That is what Paul was referring to.

There is a difference between having a sin nature and actually DOING the sin!

It is the same as god(s) in the Bible and THE GOD of the Bible.
the lower case refers to things or idols that are worshiped
the upper case refers to THE GOD of heaven.

Answer 4

Antichrist

Answer 5

Apostates are considered sons of perdition, and they should be stoned to death according to the Bible.

The BIBLE:

(2 Thessalonians 2:3 NASB/WEY).

"Let no one in any way deceive you, for that day cannot come without the coming of the apostasy first, and the appearing of the man of sin, the son of perdition."

Deuteronomy 13:6-10:

If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which [is] as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; [Namely], of the gods of the people which [are] round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth; Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: BUT THOU SHALT SURELY KILL HIM; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt STONE HIM WITH stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Answer 6

It makes more sense when you realise that "satan" of the bible was not a single person, but a title meaning essentially "antagonist".

Answer 7

Another character in the novel written by Paul.
