Hey, don't be quiet, we're just starting to have a good discussion!
Posts from Thoughts about the Antichrist.
I've already said what I think. And pointless arguments are not part of my plans ;) This isn't the right topic for that ;) I've had enough arguments in the past ;)
1) Whether the Antichrist is evil or not is the main question of the topic.
2) Whether Christianity is evil or not is a question that follows from the first.
3) I'm just interested in seeing who runs out of arguments first ;) :).
Your move:)
Where do we end up when we save the world?
They are quite meaningful! And there are several reasons for that:
1) Whether the Antichrist is evil or not is the main question of the topic.
2) Whether Christianity is evil or not is a question that follows from the first.
3) I'm just interested in seeing whose arguments run out first;).
Your turn:)
No arguments are needed here. The Antichrist = evil, only from the point of view of a person who accepts on faith, as an axiom, all Christian dogmas. Starting from biblical tales and ending with the sermons of priests. For a more or less realistic opinion, I doubt anyone has real data. With all due respect to you, I don't think you know Christ and the Antichrist very well at the same time. Therefore, this conversation is just a waste of time. And I only wrote that it is not necessary to so categorically, relying on the demagoguery of one of the religions, assert about someone that he is absolute evil. He might get offended ;)
So you fall at his feet hes the one who betrays you
Its the servants devotion for the decay
Stand up

Perhaps this question has already been asked, but: if there were no Antichrist, who would maintain hell and rule over all the sinners? They can't just send them to heaven... Therefore, he is even helping Christ.

You’re absolutely right, that’s exactly what it’s for. Your joke about the fat, Antichrist-like comedian between Gaidar and Zhirinovsky made me laugh – you really came up with some nonsense. Besides, in your argument with Siverfale, Catch, you turned out to be quite stubborn – for you, evil is probably good, and good is evil, judging by how you express yourself. Also, the example with the 85-year-old woman is completely absurd and pointless; it’s a stupid example, and you embarrassed yourself with it. If you had said that a 30-year-old young man went crazy because of his faith and ended up in a mental hospital, that example would have been more believable, but such a thing has never happened in history (even if you said it, I wouldn’t believe it – it’s utter nonsense). But there are cases of pagans – young men who married idols, loving them, which is even more abnormal than the priests you consider abnormal because they observe fasts and so on. So, keep in mind that Christianity is not evil; it certainly isn’t. You probably don’t even know what absolute evil women can be (I apologize to the ladies), and judging by your conclusions, you don’t read many books about faith in God. You’re confusing Christianity; you claim that it is evil itself, but that’s not true. You should remember that the Pope is God’s representative on Earth, and it has always been this way since the beginning of our era. Christianity fulfills God’s will on Earth. You know little about witches and their vile deeds, and you probably don’t even believe in them. Think before you argue!!! P.S. It seems that a clan of heretics is about to be created on our forum. Executor, you don’t need to constantly bring up the topic of turning the other cheek. Even saints, when the limit of everything permissible is reached, also take up the sword (figuratively) and defend themselves, defending the interests of good. Remember that in the Bible, God tolerated people’s sins for a long time, about 100 years or so, before the worldwide flood. When the limit was reached, they received their deserved punishment.
A typical church-Christian absurdity :))) As they say, no comments ;)
The most typical religious nonsense :)))
Well, for you, a non-believer, it's nonsense, but you'll burn deep in hell.
If I remember correctly, he is imprisoned in hell for his sin (he coveted the power of God), so he is in hell, roughly like a criminal boss in a prison.
The Antichrist is then the son and embodiment of Satan on Earth, and not Lucifer himself.
Lucifer is held in hell, not the Antichrist.

Right, that's exactly what it's for. Catch, regarding the joke about the fat Antichrist between Gaidar and Zhirinovsky, you really cracked me up—who writes such nonsense. Moreover, in your argument with Siverfale, Catch, you proved to be quite stubborn—for you, evil is probably good, and good is evil, judging by the way you speak. Also, the example of the 85-year-old woman—she would have died soon anyway; it's a completely stupid, meaningless example, and you disgraced yourself with it. Now, if you had said that a 30-year-old guy went insane because of faith and ended up in a psychiatric ward—that example would have been more believable, though throughout history such a thing hasn't happened (even if you had said it, I wouldn't have believed it—complete rubbish). On the other hand, cases of pagan youths who married idols, loving them, are far more abnormal than the priests whom you consider abnormal for observing fasts and such. So keep in mind: Christianity is not evil, that's for sure. You don't even know what absolute evil women can be (my apologies to the ladies), and judging by your conclusions, you've read very few books regarding faith in God. You confuse Christianity; you claim that it is evil itself, but in reality, it is not. You should remember that the Pope is God's representative on earth; it has always been so since the common era. Christianity carries out God's will on earth; you know little about witches and their vile deeds, or perhaps you don't even believe in them.
Think before you argue!!!
P.S. Apparently, a clan of heretics is about to be formed on our forum.
Executor, there's no need to constantly bring up the topic of turning the other cheek; after all, even saints, when the limit of what is permissible to endure is reached, also take up the sword (figuratively) and defend themselves, upholding the interests of good. Remember in the Bible, before the Great Flood, God endured for over 100 years the thought of destroying people for their sins. When the limit of what was allowed was reached, they received their deserved punishment.
A 30-year-old, you say? And you think people haven't gone mad from this? Oh yes, they have, and not just at thirty—at any age! Do you really think that faith just appeared on its own, that everyone accepted it so simply, and then all sorts of contradictory scoundrels appeared? Or maybe we should remember how Christianity appeared in Rus'? Prince Vladimir, under threat of death, drove the citizens into the river and told them: "Now you believe in Jesus Christ, not in Perun and Co." Do you think many wanted to? They were forced...
And how much blood has been shed because of religion? Let's remember the Crusades. People were killed simply because their God was Allah. Is that normal? Only Christianity deserves the right to life? Are those who believe in other deities any worse? Only Christians are so special and only they are right? Or is it not so, and every faith should be respected?
Women can be evil... but men can't be? Should I remind you of Doctor Mengele?! That animal killed so many defenseless people that I've never seen such a thing in my life! Tell me about even one such woman! That is my attitude toward those who talk about "Women being the spawn of the devil."
Christianity carries out the will of God? Are you absolutely sure that is His will? Absolutely?
Witches :D Now this is where you'd better keep quiet) The Inquisition)) Christians, after all... And women were killed just for finding some healing herbs that others didn't know about before. And those healers only wanted to help. For that, they were burned at the stake—a torturous death... I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Of course, there were malicious women who truly thought they were connected to the Devil and did his will, and therefore had to do all sorts of atrocities, but killing everyone indiscriminately is like dropping hydrogen bombs on Chechnya—we'll kill all the militants at once, and to hell with the civilians. Not bad, right?
I didn't even touch upon the topic of turning the other cheek just now.
And can you speak more politely in an argument? Or is it normal for you in a conversation on religious themes, or where your interlocutor's opinion doesn't match yours? Actually, it is customary to speak politely on this forum.
P.S. Let me guess now—there'll be a "-1 BD" and "burn in hell, cursed atheist!"

Well, it's nonsense to you, unbeliever; you'll burn deep in hell.
Lucifer resides in hell, not the Antichrist.
The Antichrist is then the son and embodiment of Satan on Earth, and not Lucifer himself.
That's what I was saying, that it's at least foolish to talk about the followers of the Antichrist because he hasn't even appeared yet. And calling Satanists his followers is like calling the Jews of the time of David and Solomon followers of Christ :)

You say 30 years old? And you think they didn't go crazy because of it? Yes, and not just at thirty - at any age! Do you really think that faith came about on its own, that everyone just accepted it so easily, and then all sorts of contradictory scoundrels appeared?

The most interesting thing is that Christian culture, despite all the secularism of our state, penetrates so deeply into all aspects of our lives... I recently read a history textbook for the 4th grade. It says that people saw that Vladimir and his retinue had accepted the Christian faith, and everyone happily went to be baptized... Such nonsense... They are silent about the thousands killed at that time for Christ, and such smart guys as the one who decided that it would be good for me to sweat in hell, say something about pagans, about their sacrifices... Moreover, Perun, the only one of the pantheon of the original Russian gods who can be called cruel, although compared to Christ, he is simply the Lamb of God, only began to come to the forefront in the 10th century, when invaders came to Russia from two sides: the Byzantines and the Khazars. The Rus' people needed to defend themselves, their families, so they turned to the only warlike god. And even this only god helped them defeat their enemies. And after that, the enemies decided to act through betrayal. They killed Svyatoslav, killed his legitimate sons, and put the illegitimate Vladimir in power, who obediently carried out their will, baptized Rus', thereby actually putting it under the control of Byzantium, since the Orthodox patriarch lived there at that time.
And now we are proud of the baptism of Rus', we consider our history to begin with it, forgetting about our roots, forgetting about the original Russian faith... And there are more and more stubborn fanatics like my "well-wisher." And the Devil, Satan, for them is not what we consider evil, but precisely the pagan gods that each people had. And Satan appeared for the first time when the cult of Yahweh fought against the ancient cults of Baal, Astarte, etc. Hence the horned Devil and so on. And the great Christian faith was created only with one goal: to destroy the Roman Empire. Which it succeeded in doing. And then it served only to keep millions of people in obedience with such phrases as "you will burn deep in hell." And the development of human civilization was stalled for at least a thousand years. All this is a consequence of Christianity. And now you are all afraid of the coming of the Antichrist? But if you think about it, there have already been many antichrists, and each of them brought good. Leonardo, Copernicus, Galileo, Giordano Bruno, they all went against the church, moving humanity forward.
In general, I'll summarize :) You need to at least think for yourself a little, and not blindly believe everything that the apologists of some religions say ;)
...Christianity eradicated harmful people: witches, sorcerers, and Cathars. Do you even know what evil witches did...
Stalin said: "It doesn't matter how many human lives must be lost for victory in the war!" (approximately). That is, he already didn't care about human lives + we also had concentration camps just like Hitler's under Stalin, from which it follows that Stalin killed millions + human culture and morality were being destroyed.
After all, you were all baptized in infancy, how can you reject faith, you non-Christian!!!
Then why did all you atheists and non-believers come to this topic at all?! The very idea of the Antichrist comes from the Bible and nowhere else, and you are making up nonsense about it here. HOW DARE YOU!!!
