Who is the AntiChrist?

[BobRyan]

By the way, can you tell me what "World history 101" mean? (Possibly an American expression I haven't come across before.)

It is just a cultural expression here referring to first year college courses which are usually at the 100 level. In my case I was arguing that I thought this was something we all agreed to...

GE:

I have read 2Thess2, just to make sure. So I found everthing as you say, except "appearing in the clouds of heaven with his angels"? You really think the devil needs that to fool everybody as he does all the time?

I guess "we will see" -

The pope and SBC is the antichrist:applause:

:laugh: - 2007 method
Tee Hee - 1984 method

You may be singing, but the SBC is playing the tune.
The doctrinal statement of this board is the
SBC 2000 Statement of Faith. Tee Hee

There is a huge difference between London Baptist Confession 1689 and SBC Statement of Faith 2000.

London Baptist Confession 1689 clearly stated :
-what are the scriptures : OT 39 books plus NT 27 books, there is no way to think about Apocrypha

- Head of Church : Jesus Christ, then rejected the pope as the head of te church but defined the Pope as the Anti-Christ

- Baptism : Believers Baptism ( SBC 2000 also), Immersion

- Lord Supper : Rejected Transubstantiation clearly.

I am not sure SBC 2000 was prepared in lieu of London Baptist Confession 1689 or it was just a form of simplified confession of faith. But I can feel a certain retreat from the stance of 1689.

There is a link like this:

at the bottom of each page of the Baptist Board (BB).
the SOF of the BB is the BSF2000 (Baptist Statement
of Faith of 2000AD )

Anyway, SBC statement of Faith is much weaker or milder than London Baptist Confession 1689. Check the controversial articles.

Thanks for the explanation, Bob.

Does God's Word say that the Antichrist will be a law unto himself? No. The only place where the bible uses such a phrase is in Romans 2.14-15, where the theme is not the Antichrist:

14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another​

I feel a bit stupid replying to my own post, but when I looked at it today, there was a smiley after the above bible quote. I don't know how it got there, but I know I didn't put it there. It seems very inappropriate. (If the Moderator could remove it from that post, I would be grateful, as it is obviously much too late for me to edit it out). Thanks.

In Daniel 7 he (little horn power of Dan 7 that comes out of pagan Rome) is said to "think to CHANGE times and LAWS" -- this is not "a law unto himself" but it does show a link between this power and the Laws of God being changed.

I've worked out how the smiley got into the bible verse. Romans 2.15 ends (in the AV/KJV) with "excusing one another" followed by a semi-colon and a closing bracket - exactly the symbols used to create the smiley!

The other bad one is a verse citation ending in 8 (like 8, 18, 28, etc)
that is parens. Eight / 8 / followed by end parens / ) / is
the symbol for a smilie with sunglasses (he is so cool!)
