Bible Note: Hello Cuddle, Please don't take my words out of context. If my post was confusing to you, thank you for stating the obvious. but we must be careful not to make it a play on words. To clarify my point in the previous post. If the churuch is the restrainer (which neither of us are teaching and/or appear to believe) it would only be possible in that the Holy Spirit is at work in the church. We the people, the body of believers, would have no power what ever to restrain anything, including our own nature, much less the antichrist. Hope this clears up my position. God bless, Jeff |
