I'm not sure what you mean, or why you are mentioning anything about people having [or not having] "any degrees in the Bible."
I may be mistaking what you're saying here (or, why), but I want to make clear that in my post I made no reference to such.
My endeavor was to "compare scripture with scripture" (and show that). I find that fairly "simple".

Jas 3:1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
Jas 3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
Jas 3:3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
Jas 3:4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
Jas 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
Jas 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
Jas 3:7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
Jas 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Jas 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Jas 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Jas 3:11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
Jas 3:12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

Everything I put in my post was typed-out by hand, by me, and is MY words / MY explanation.
I believe that's the case for ALL of the posts I've placed in this thread (if memory serves).
[if I ever use someone else's work, I post the links to those... But I do not recall using any others' articles HERE in this thread. ALL of it has been typed up by my own hand, using my own explanations. I was under the impression that you've been reading them thus far, and acknowledging my words that I've typed here are FROM ME. lol NONE OF MY POSTS HERE have been "COPY AND PASTE"!! (And it is HARD WORK coz I'm a VERY SLOW TYPIST! )]

Actually the problem arises because the KJB has "the day of Christ" whereas all the other translations have "the day of the Lord (which corresponds to the OT "the day of the LORD"). The day of Christ pertains to the Rapture whereas the day of the Lord pertains to the future period of divine judgments.
So this passage is saying that the Man of Sin will be revealed followed by the day of the Lord (the Tribulation period) . It has nothing to do with the Rapture, yet the Thessalonians were aware that the Rapture would be well ahead of the day of the Lord. But someone was telling them that the day of the Lord had already occurred and this was bothering them. The focus of 2 Thess 2 is the reign of the Antichrist which will come AFTER the Rapture but BEFORE the day of the Lord.

2 Thess2 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to meet him,
we beg you, brethren, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter purporting to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.
3 Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
Meaning the Day of the Lord in which we seek cannot happen till after he takes his seat in the temple. Has to be after the middle lof the 7 (years)--This is literal but few believe it.
Then you want to say the Restrainer is the H S. How Foolish. It's the saints

The Day of the Lord (God's wrath) comes like a thief in the night, just like the rapture. That is because the rapture happens on the same day as the wrath begins. The Saints go up and the wrath comes down. The only thing between the rapture and the wrath is the Seventh Seal of 30 minutes. That is why Scripture always refers to the Day of the Lord's wrath and the rapture with the same term "like a thief in the night." Only the believers will not be surprised and will be expecting it. The unbelievers who are taking the Mark and being promised "peace and safety" by the Antichrist will be the ones totally taken off guard.
