Clues for the identity of the Antichrist
#61
RE: Clues for the identity of the Antichrist
It's always interesting to me that whenever someone points to some example of pareidolia, either visual or auditory, they always, without fail, have to preface it with an instruction of what you are meant to see or hear. It's a statutory requirement. Not for them the ambiguity of "what does this sound like to you?" and getting a thousand different responses; no, they must tell you, program you, that if you listen "you'll hear him saying 'thank you Satan' ".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

RE: Clues for the identity of the Antichrist
Zazzy, I thought my response to you was more than sufficient. But, just for you- I have no intention to harm/ harass/ murder the current president. Alarms off now?

Doubting- it was said of the snake that the serpent was more subtil than any of the other animals... you have tripple 6, 3 times 6 and a zip code with 3 6s. These are subtil clues.

I consider life like a strategic game you find yourself in.
You have no choice but to try to discern the rules, since they are not stated. We rarely get more than clues. It might be part of the game.
People seem to revel in games. At no time in the seasons do the media lack games. Even the newspapers contain puzzles.
It seems to be part of our make-up.

Stimbo, the inspirer of O cannot just come out and put a song of praise to the devil into him. How would that go over?
So he does it backwards. The ability to do that seems to come with the territory. did you actually listen to the clip?

My problem with that way of thinking is that you could predict almost anything you could think of, and if you wait long enough, it just might happen. I could predict that Israel will become an Arab state, and 1500 years from now, it might happen. Who can say for sure? I gave no timeframe, so it is applicable for all eternity. Maybe the 20th century creation of Israel isn't the one meant in the bible. Maybe it will break up in 50 years, then come back together in the 22nd century? Not likely? Can you predict the future? There's just too much vagueness to believe any prophecies. Remember, Tyre was meant to be washed out to sea and Jesus was supposed to return in the lifetimes of his apostles, and those things never happened. Or were they just metaphors? =P

As you say it's your problem. You can predict anything you want to but like many others it will fail. The scriptures clearly state that the nation of Israel will be restored again and it will be permanent, and do you really believe that a prophecy that's over two thousand years old is coincidence. It's never happened before so there is no president to establish it as a coincidence. Jesus never said He would return in their life time, He said they would see the coming of His kingdom and they did. Christ's kingdom is the church and the church is the people, a king can not have a kingdom without people, so the disciples saw the kingdom (church) come into existence.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

At least he isn't bat shit crazy psycho nuts and terminally stupid like everyone in the republicans seems to be.

I'll take average thank you very much. it is very much a relief to the rest of the world who you scare regularly with your parade of Neroesque monstrocities on the right wing come election time.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

I've noticed the same thing. Every time you see a video of "backwards Satanic messages" in rock music for example, they always place the words of what you're supposed to hear on the screen. So when you're reading it of course you make the connection. But if you listen to any random song backwards, you'll occasionally hear snippets of something that sounds vaguely like regular speech, but not clear enough for two people to agree on what's being said.

And what about backwards speech anyway? It's not like we can discern speech spoken backwards, so what's the point? It's just another boogeyman that Christians can use to scare each other.

But those numbers are not 666. You're just shoehorning them to fit what was written in an old book. Why is it 6X6X6 and not 6+6+6? Because 18 doesn't fit anywhere in your scheme? You're trying to find any connection to the number 6 you can. I used to live in the 66762 zip code. Does that make me the antichrist? It's got three 6's in it.

So in other words, you make up the rules as you go. Anything goes as long as you make the current president look evil.

The people were scattered and the nation dissolved for around 1900 years, but was restored in the 1940's. Never has this happened with any nation, let lone one connected with a prophecy. But you're right we can't, only an omniscient God could.

Was there anything else, GC?

Self-fulfilling after 2000 years, yeah right, that's just a stupid thing to even think. The Jews knew if Christ did no come before their nation was destroyed the first time (by Rome) He would not be coming, this is a prophecy they knew well. So why would they even care if their nation was restored knowing the prophecy failed? Why are they still awaiting the New Jerusalem? No Messiah no restored Israel. A self-fulling thought might be believable with only one or two people, with it occurring over a short period of time. A 2000 year old prophecy is a much different thing altogether.

My objective is not to make the guy look evil. He is doing a bang up job of that all by himself.
If one only listens to the main stream (controlled) media his agenda and unconstitutional activity is behind closed doors.

Even with all the traps and difficulties, the internet is the only place freedom of thought and word has a chance.
No, I did not say create rules- I said discern them.
Try making up your own rules on the highway, let us know how it goes. Just an example.

Bullshit. You're literally demonizing him by stretching logic and numerology in order to paint him as the antichrist. Tell me again how you're not trying to make him look evil?

I'm surprised you didn't post this picture and claim that he's the antichrist because he looks like the devil on a TV show:

RE: Clues for the identity of the Antichrist
Oh my gawdz guyz! I think my CAT might be the antichrist! Seriously...

Barack Obama was elected on November 2, 2008, the same day I brought my cat home from the Humane Society.

I named her "BO" after Barack Obama's initials because he won.

She immediately took a shine to my 130 LB black lab, nicknamed "beasty".

A few months ago, she got into my backpack, which I thought was empty, and ate half an eighth of magic mushrooms... and I swear she was dead and resurrected.

A couple of years ago, she pooped in my packed suitcase ten minutes before the shuttle was to arrive to take me to the airport.

Astonishing, amirite?

You named your cat BO? And you wonder why she dropped her luggage into your suitcase?
