i told you that the Antichrist were not spirits,they were men who deceived Christians, making them not to believe that,Jesus is the coming Messiah, making them to denounce their Christian faith .
2 John 1:7 For 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.
so, if Antichrist is not spirit but humans , what do you call mark of the beast, humans too ?
i have never heard humans described as beasts in the Bible.
certainly, mark of the beast is something spiritual and should be highly dreaded ...lol

Yes.

please,i want to ask, since you say, the Antichrist is the beast in revelation, is this beast humans? going by this Scripture
2 John 1:7 For 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.
meaning, this deceiver is a human who deceived people that Jesus did not come in the flesh .
the question is, could it be that the beast in that revelation represent humans?

the beast is not a human, the beast is the devil.
the mark of the beast is 666,.on that day, nobody can buy and sell without this mark

ok,
who is the Antichrist? is Antichrist the same thing as the beast?

Yes the Antichrist is the same as the beast. i believe i've answered the thread's primary question about why there is a rapture if God wants us to be fruitful and multiply etc. i would very much like to stop around here after saying one or two things to the other posts made. thanks.

and the image of the Antichrist or mark of the beast who will deceive people is a spirit, which is satan himself that was later cast into the lake of fire?

i don't do unimportant conjectures, sorry.

creature or planted earth, it's still the same thing, because the earth is God's creation

The earth is God's creation, the human being is also God's creation. That is why i had to clearly distinguish what i meant. So, when i said that the world is irredemable, i meant the earth not humanity.

The Antichrist would come in human form when it is time. Please, i am not saying anymore on this. i have other engagements and i would rather not be chipping in uninterested one liners.

God created an imperfect world because he wants it to be so, in other words our God is not a God of perfection, striving to be perfect is the greatest sin there is.

righteousness is not a thing to strive for, you can never be righteous, unless God in His infinite mercies adjourn you righteous .
God didn't create an imperfect world. Its man's free-will that made perfection imperfect.

You can never make a broken bottle become what it is before, you can only patch it to use it for thesame purpose.

Who created the free-will in man and how did it make a perfect world imperfect?

God created man to free. Free to make decision and act according to his decisions.

The free-will of man has given the world imperfection. Right from the time of eve. Since then, man has made the world imperfect. The decision to disobey orders from God has brought imperfection to the world.

Yes,

When you're given an instruction, try to hid to it. It might be for your own good.

If the apple is a bad tree according to your belief and satan is already on ground to do his bid, so where is the perfection?

This whole story makes man a victim of circumstances,

Man was created imperfect,
He was placed in an imperfect garden,
God made him an imperfect wife,
There was an imperfect angel wandering the garden,
God gave an imperfect instruction not to eat an imperfect fruit,
Man in his imperfect nature eat it,

Boooom!!! A perfect world changed into an imperfect world grin grin

Abeg clap for your self jare.

it is wrong
ok, take a look at this Scripture
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
this tells us that it is human who denies that Jesus is the Messiah and not spirit, which confirms that 2john 1:7
in otherwords, any human who preach that Jesus is not the Christ is Antichrist,and he deceive people, they are everywhere just like urheme said.
the revelation he quoted was just a vision which represent this, just like parables, which needed interpretation.
for instance,the beast represent humans who denied Jesus and mark of the beast or 666 represent any alternative religion that deny Jesus.
remember, Christianity is the only religion that confess Jesus as the coming Messiah which is the salvation we are talking about.
therefore, without Christianity our faith it is impossible to please God
so, anybody, by deception who accept other alternative religion in this world apart from christianity, has accepted the mark of the beast, which is 666
.it is happening everywhere around us.
such person is liable to loose his salvation and he is thrown into the lake of fire after judgment .
this is what pastors in the UK and other developed nations teaches and it is more sensible than what pastors are teaching here in Nigeria and Africa .
urheme was actually correct.
anyway, i have to investigate him to prove to you that, the revelation did not outrightly say God is going to destroy this world
if i had told you the other way, you wouldn't have believe me

Nope bro,

God never made humans imperfect.

God made man a tabula raza, he doesn't have any experience whatsoever to deal with situations.

There was a serpent, the imperfect one (satan), who came to the garden to disrupt the perfect world. Since man has no experience in dealing issues, he was swayed by the sweet deceitful words of the imperfect one. As it is written in the bible, the imperfect one (satan) was driven away from heaven.

i think it is a socio - cultural problem, Africans are just so hyper spiritually incline. history have it that Africans has been like that from the beginning, even before Christianity came, when missionaries eventually brought Christianity,books like revelation became a perch tree for Africans to extend their hyper spiritualism into Christianity of this generation because they cannot simply understand it . an emotional illusion that sees the various adherents into churches to seek spiritual solution to their problems, rather than being realistic
we all somehow are influenced by this trend
