A question regarding the nature of the antichrist?

Question

Let's see if I can formulate this question into making some sort of sense. It's something that always bothered me as a christian and now, obviously not being christian, I'd like for someone to answer it to the best of your abilties.

Obviously the antichrist has already been chosen. Some random person does not grow up and choose to be the anti-christ. It is something that he is born with. Now I know it's widely believed that he will be in politics and grow up in romania, but my question is:

How is it fair that god throws him into the lake of fire at the end? It was not his choice but according to the bible his destiny. (Where is free will here?) And if you are going to come up with the conclusion that maybe he has some sort of conception the same way jesus did....

How is this fair on his mother?

I believe you meant remedial not retarted. I'm sure there are many people out there with handicapped children or siblings that don't appreciate the comment.

Btw, I apologize if the question is above and beyond your intellect.

I guess this question is a stumper for you guys....

Answer 1

It isn't fair to the mother if the mother is oblivious to the plan. Mary was not oblivious to the plan of her giving birth to the Messiah. She had to accept it, so maybe the mother of the antichrist would have to accept it too. Sounds insane I know.

Answer 2

Heather , why must you do this. The word anti in the context of the word Antichrist means instead of , that is to say
"impostor . Someone is going to tell the world that he is the Christ / God . And he is going to try to come with Great power and glory just as it is written. And will perform miracles in the sight of man so as to fool even God's elect if that were possible. And this person will not be born of woman. So this " fair on the mother thing " is not an issue. Not born of woman? That's right. Heather I have to set this up . Christ has always considered Himself our Shepherd. And the world is his pasture. His flock of sheep is humanity. Now here is your documentation for not through woman. John chapter 10
verses 1 and 2 . " I tell you the TRUTH , the Man who does not enter the sheep pen (world) by the " gate " (woman's womb) but climbs in by some other way, the same is a liar and a thief / robber. He is talking about satan , the lawless one . The abomination that causes desolation . And he will set up his kingdom and almost everybody will whore after him thinking he is Christ. And the ironic part is that in my opinion it will be the atheist who jump on his bandwagon the fastest , claiming to the christian, isn't this what you guys wanted? I know for a fact that none of this is over your head. So what do you think?

Answer 3

I don't believe in being born evil. I believe he will be evilly influenced. As for free will any man has the choice of saying "no" in any given situation. As Christians we have a belief that if a particular person doesn't step forward to do what God has asked us He'll find someone else who will. I think it would be much the same. I also be live at the point of being killed and coming back to life [ mocking Christ ] that he is possessed by Satan. When he is cast into Hell it is for his own sins ,Satan is chained for a thousand years then released defeated and thrown into Hell. This happens so that all children who are left alive and those back from the dead who were either mentally handicapped or died as children or were never born will get a chance to grow up and make their choice.

Answer 4

Free will? All of the people around the world does had the free will. Did u have your free will to became Christian or became Atheist? Or u have been choosen to became one of it?

I guess it's your free will right? At the Romania, still there's a believer, even they fear to show it.

The one who choose not to follow God, will be throw to hell. But, the one whom never hear about God, will be judge by what they did at the years of their life. If they did something that basically came from deep of their heart, the rightouness, then they are granted the Heaven's access.

Is this what answer that u asked for?

Answer 5

Your first paragraph you say " as a Christian and now, obviously not being Christian". Why did you quit? Any way there is no anti christ. You need a christ first to have that. There is no god and no son of god. And if there were this will only affect the Jews since they always talk about THEIR god and Jesus was a Jewish Rabbi. The rest of us won't get wrapped up in their holy war.

Answer 6

I 've been to church more than 40 years, not once was the Anti-Christ mentioned.You are focusing on the wrong part.We can sit up all night and discuss the unfairness in the world,like why did God create those Africans who would be starving.Jesus said unless you become as innocent as little children you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven.

Answer 7

I don't think God would be such a mean person to "choose" an anti christ, someone to fight against him. God does not compel anyone to do anything. That would be against free will. We choose our own actions. There is, however, someone out there that will hate God enough to do what the anti christ will do, thus becomming the anti christ.
An anti christ is simply someone who is against christ as the definition states. They will counterfeit the true plan of God and be openly or secretly against Christ. The great antichrist is Satan, but he has many assistants in spirits and mortals.

Answer 8

Whew! You've got a pack of whoppers there. To get to the bottom, it sounds like you're concerned that you may be raising a little devil yourself.

Tough one. But, I have to say that being a "former" christian leaves you WIDE open to demonic activity in your family. So, it's entirely possible that your choices could be breeding spiritual destruction there for the family. (something to consider).

First, I would suggest getting your understanding of God from His book - the Bible, as opposed to fiction books. You have some mistaken understanding.

Contrary to one of your answerers, Jesus and Daniel both ID the Anti-Christ as coming from the Roman people, not the Jews.

God may know who the Anti-Christ is, and even have made a sovereign choice of who will follow Satan; however, you will find that he also makes that His own choice. God isn't in the business of violating people's own will. We all readily choose rebellion against God.

Finally, you're right - it isn't fair that God throws Satan and the Anti-Christ in the lake of fire. It is "favor". That is to say, it is his Favor that he doesn't put all humanity there with him. If you want fair - you and I deserve the lake of fire. We're rebels against God. Instead, he offers you Favor. Some call it "Grace". Unearned favor; unmerited and undeserved.

Why not choose to ask God to forgive you today, ask him to reveal himself and his plan for you now? Jesus won't cast you away as long as you are willing to follow him.

Answer 9

you have no understanding of the word of GOD.
1 John 2:17-19 (King James Version)
17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

18Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

19They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

and

1 John 2:21-23 (King James Version
21I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

22Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

23Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also

and

1 John 4:2-4 (King James Version)
2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

and finally

2 John 1:6-8 (King James Version)
6And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

7For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward

so as you can see, the left behind series is in error...the antichrist is already here, there are many and have been since JESUS time....as to fairness...do you think GOD doesnt know the soul? or the heart? those people, such as judas, and pharoh, were chosen to do what they did because GOD knew their heart and knew that it was in their nature to do what HE had them do. GOD gives them over to the lusts of their hearts...judas desired money...pharoh, control. GOD simply used those desires to make an example of them for mankind. has HE a right to do this? wether we mortal creatures think so or not, wether we feel it is fair or not...the fact remains that GOD is THE CREATOR...this gives HIM the ultimate right to do as HE desires....period!

Answer 10

That I know of, nothing in the bible speaks of the antichrist coming out of Romania. I've never even heard that before. He may rise from among the European nations.

Just as anyone else has a choice to follow good or evil, so will this man. He will of course choose to follow his own greed and desire for power. So much so that at one point in time, satan will actually "enter" him.

No, it's not something he is born with. We each have a choice. Just as Judas had one, so will this man. The only thing we know for sure is he serves himself and satan, not God.
