1 | Who is the restrainer? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188032 | ||
Greetings Mark, Always appreciate what you have to say. Have you given much thought to (possibly) the restrainers activity all throughout history? Maybe this is just something I have contimplated. In light of what scriptures say, the tremendous evil that abides in all of men's hearts, do you think "the restrainer" has been at work all along? I have thought quite a bit about this. I believe (just an opinion based on what I've seen) the restrainer has been at work since the fall. I truly think that mankind would have readily destroyed each other long ago. I think God has, all along, restrained the evil in mankind. Therefore, leading into the "great tribulation," where the evil intents of man's heart will run wild, that God will withdraw His restraining. This accounts for the tremendous evil and chaos that will persue. Therefore, the church, meaning each individual believer, each one possessing the Holy Spirit, that now God withdraws His holy (us) presents from this world to judge it like never before. Thus whatever or whoever is "the restrainer" would naturally need to be "withdrawn." What-do-you-think? InGodITrust |

2 | Who is the restrainer? | 2 Thess 2:7 | Searcher56 | 188034 | ||
God's day to you, InGodITrust, Is "withdrawn" the same as "taken out of the way" ... for the Bible says the latter? Notice this is single, not plural. Searcher |

3 | Please clarify............?? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188036 | ||
Searcher, You got me, please give references for both? I am not sure (at all) what your question is. Waiting for your reply..... InGodITrust |

4 | Please clarify............?? | 2 Thess 2:7 | Searcher56 | 188039 | ||
You said 'Thus whatever or whoever is "the restrainer" would naturally need to be ... "withdrawn."' - The Bible says "taken out of the way". Why the difference? Mark mentioned restrainers (plural) ... but the Bible make him singular. |

5 | Withdrawn or taken out of the way? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188041 | ||
Searcher, Guess it depends on what version of the Bible you are reading?? What is the difference, withdrawn or taken out of the way? Are they not one and the same? Still here...... InGodITrust |

6 | Withdrawn or taken out of the way? | 2 Thess 2:7 | Searcher56 | 188072 | ||
I think withdrawn is completely out of the way, like taking a chess piece off the board, and out of the way is like moving a pawn, so the queen can move. | ||||||
7 | Withdrawn or taken out of the way? | 2 Thess 2:7 | mark d seyler | 188075 | ||
Hi Searcher, As I read the passage, its "becomes out the middle", so that would, to me, be more like the pawn being moved, out of the middle betwee the queen and the rest of the board. Love in Christ, Mark |
