AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 John 1:7 ¶ For many deceivers [heretics, posing as Christians] have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge and confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh (bodily form). This [person, the kind who does this] is the deceiver and the antichrist [that is, the antagonist of Christ]. |
Subject: Does Islam fit here? |
Bible Note: EdB - thanks for both replies. I agree with your thinking . . .peas are green and the Muslim fundamentalist is just a hair's breadth away from becoming a radical fanatic (aka terrorist) . . . and yet as a nation we resist "profiling," go figure. Aside from the text I mentioned in my post to Searcher, see John Clark Mead's "The New World War: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Why and How Militant Muslims Plan to Destroy Western Civilization". Sobering and enlightening. Now on to my second question: Does the church have a responsibility to recognize and declare Islam as "antichrist? What do you think? mommapbs |
