Question

In That Web Site It Shows What Has Happened In History And At The Same Time It Shows Us What Is Written In The Bible. If You Ever Have The Time To See This Web Site Let Me Know What You Think Of It.

Answer 1

If you mean http://www.worldslastchance.com yes.
Told my husband if any of those signs appear, ie, if they 'resurrect Pope John', then I'll surely believe. We know the end times are near, and if we are prepared through Jesus Christ, we really don't have to worry about 'the signs',correct? Was a different, interesting theory however.

Answer 2

This is cut from an article called The Antichrist By Jimmy Akin "The difficulty with the papal Antichrist theory is that while it may have provided psychological comfort to early Protestant leaders, it does not fit the facts as they are presented in Scripture. Even given the identification of the Antichrist with the beast, the pope is the last person who would fit the biblical requirements for being the individual Antichrist (or any Antichrist). The epistles of John clearly indicate that the Antichrist is one who denies that Christ has come in the flesh. However, the basis for the pope’s position in the Church is that Christ has come in the flesh and has ascended to heaven, leaving the successor of Peter as his vicar or representative on earth. For the pope to deny that Christ has come in the flesh would be to undercut the basis of his position. Since no pope historically has made such claims, it is easily verifiable that no pope in history has been an Antichrist. Neither will any future pope be inclined to deny the basis of his position. The anti-papal argument simply is not credible. Further, in Scripture the beast is clearly a political leader, not a Church leader. In fact, the beast is literally identified with one of the early Roman emperors, who had no part of the Church. A Crack in the Door Now that Protestantism has been in a state of separation from the Church for several centuries, psychological pressures have eased, and many Protestants today recognize the absurdity of the papal Antichrist theory and reject those portions of their confessional writings that endorse it. This praiseworthy recognition provides the Catholic apologist with an opportunity to invite individuals to fundamentally reconsider the Protestant Reformation. If Protestants are prepared to admit that the pope is not the Antichrist and that the Catholic Church is not the Whore of Babylon, then the questions may be posed: "Then what are they? How can they be otherwise explained?" Most Christians are and always have been members of the Catholic Church. The pope and the Catholic Church are too central to historic Christianity to be dismissed as simply an accident. They must have some part in God’s plan. But if they are not the Antichrist and the Whore of Babylon, then the logical alternative is to recognize them as the Vicar of Christ and the Bride of Christ—the very realization that drove the early Reformers to the papal Antichrist theory."

Answer 3

People throughout history have wanted to pin the "antichrist" label on their enemies. Even my own church's founder fell into that trap.

Antichrist is a role in the ongoing confrontation between the Church and spiritual powers of darkness that has gone on since the Church was founded. There are scriptures about antichrist that are very clearly describing first-century Gnosticism--and yet the characteristics the scriptures highlight have repeated themselves throughout the past two thousand years.

Yes, sadly, there have been times when the office of the Pope has displayed these characteristics..... today I think they are more clearly seen in those Protestant denominations that deny Jesus has come in the flesh every time they call Holy Communion a "symbol." Antichrist will always be with us, attacking the Church from all sides, until Christ finally returns and sets things right.

Answer 4

Biblical apocalyptic literature predicts the coming of "the" Antichrist, the name given to the one who will be Christ’s chief enemy. This will be just one person.

It is not uncommon for fundamentalist writers or preachers to attach the label to a currently living person. By calling a second (or third or fourth) person "the" Antichrist, they show that they were wrong when they applied the title to the first person.

Every Pope since the time of Martin Luther has been labeled "the" Antichrist by at least one anti-Catholic "Christian," making each one incorrect (so far).

The adjective "anti-Christ" does not refer to the person prophesied in the Bible. It may be applied to an attitude or action judged to be fundamentally opposed to Christ and his message, for example: Hating others is anti-Christ.

Pope Benedict XVI just wrote a wonderful book entitled, "Jesus of Nazareth." http://www.ignatius.com/ViewProduct.aspx?SID=1&Product_ID=3060&AFID=42

From a book review: Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the Pope shares a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of Jesus and invites us to encounter, face-to-face, the central figure of the Christian faith.

How can someone who writes such a book be accused of being either the Antichrist or anti-Christ?

With love in Christ.

Answer 5

People said Pope John Paul was the anti-Christ. So why should this one be any different?
