Because we analytically detect the bullshit first?

Yup, that was in the OT wasn't it? Maybe it was Jesus that was the false messiah, the antichrist? Devil

Anyway, I thought the antichrist was meant to appear at the end of days, so if it was Mohammed then he must have arrived quite a few centuries early as still no sign of Armageddon... although we do have fog here today.... could be a sign or portent!
Most of the prophecies of the antichrist are in the New Testament.

I agree that Mohammed can't be the antichrist but many Muslims believe that a person known as the Mahdi will appear to place the entire world under the control of Islam.

http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Mahdi.aspx


His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
Romans 1:20 ESV

It is utterly pathetic that a grown and presumably educated man from the 19th century, Sorry, 21st century, still proceed from prophecies as basis of discussion.

At least the ones in Lord of the Rings had a neat rhyme scheme.

Ah, yes, that would be the messiah then. What are you waiting for? Convert to Islam before its too late and God sends you to hell for eternity for getting it wrong!

Theophilus did not get it wrong, funny how it works out don't you think, those who stand on the wrong side seem to never see or understand they are on the wrong side and those who are on the right side always seem to know they are on the right side, Theo and I have chosen to stand with Christ which is the right side to be on. Oh yes I understand that this statement could be flip flopped, but flip flopping someone's statement does not make one right.
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.

Well, at least you see the point I was making and I respect your choice here, if not your belief.
