Featured Reformed Speculation VS Jesus Christ

Think the Antichrist will be secular, while the False prophet could very well be a Pope!

 

So saved babies have saving faith?

 

Read Paul's description in 2 Thessalonians 2:4.

All the Reformers believed the Papacy is the Anarchist and some Lutheran and many Reformed creeds state this boldly.

What about the mark of the beast? Antichrist sitting in the Temple of God? The Jews?

Paul says; He would be the “[Man of sin] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in [Greek = as] the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” (2 Thessalonians 2:4) (KJV 1900)


Augustine 354 – 430 first speculated about the Antichrist saying; “Antichrist means not the prince himself alone, but his whole body, that is, the mass of men who adhere to him, along with him their prince; and they also think that we should render the Greek more exactly were we to read, not “in the temple of God,” but “for” or “as the temple of God,” as if he himself were the temple of God, the Church.1405”

Yes. It's in their total depravity.

 

He is, but you cannot discern it.

 

Elect infants only.

 

This is not true if scripture says otherwise, which it does. They die because they are sinful.

 

That's a question you should pursue on you own. You don't get to preach another gospel just because you judge some people by the outward appearance.

 

If there is such a thing that doesn't live beyond infancy.

 

He will be a political, not religious leader!

 

All babies deserve hell, due to being n Adam, cannot God elect to save them all?

 

Elected due to having Christian parents?

 

Where's the scripture?

 

They die due to the results of the Fall!

 

Paul says he is religious.

 

OK, @1689Dave, let's not shut the thread down with the infant argument. I was looking forward to ridiculing Premillennialism!

 

The Westminster says they are a few of the exceptions.

 

Cannot God choose to exercise saving grace towards those unable to have faith, such as infants and mentally challenged?

 

Jonah 4:11

 

That would be hard to do, as there are Calvinists and reformed premils!
