    Are you a body with a soul, or a soul with a body?

    While reading the thread about Baptism of the Holy Spirit, this thought came to me that I thought might be ignored in a thread that's so involved. Do you consider yourself a body, with a spirit and with an eternal soul, or an eternal soul that has a temporal body that's governed by a God given...

    Your perspective is deeply appreciated. You've seen a lot over your 80 years, and your views are invaluable.

    The spirit of antichrist

    Dino, Paul didn't have a specific chronological understanding of the "last days." While he and the early Christians believed in the imminent return of Christ, they didn't have an exact timeline. Paul's constant message was for believers to always be ready and vigilant, emphasizing the importance...

    The spirit of antichrist

    Either that or the father of lies has lied so much, he has himself fooled. Just sayin... John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie...

    Thanks Dino, But we're told that things will get worse and worse aren't we? And the spirit of antichrist is driving them I would think... 2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving...

    The spirit of antichrist

    And that's an issue we can pick up later seeing you've gone on with the OP... Quite so, then the question is "what" can this spirit accomplish in this evil time? What's his limits???

    The spirit of antichrist

    That I'm not appointed unto wrath. Plain and simple. The pre-rapture calling out is not exclusive to the dispensationalis bunch, but was taught well before their nonsense ramblings were presented by Amzi Dixon, Cyrus Scofield, John Darby, and Clarence Larkin...

    The spirit of antichrist

    Look at the impartiality of God's Grace. The belief that God's Grace is singular and equally available to all, regardless of background or identity, underscores the inclusiveness and universal form of His divine love and mercy. This principle is reflected in several key verses: Romans 10:12...

    The spirit of antichrist

    There in we actually have two definitions. 1. Religion: An order in which Christians conduct their behavior and actions. 2. Religion: The defining of beliefs (right or wrong) as a group.

    The spirit of antichrist

    The main focus and jist of this thread (the OP) is the Spirit of AC being active to the extreme in this day and age. And actively causing all the diverse errors and apostasy that's rampant in this era. ie "thinking to change times and laws" Dan. 7:25. Just to clarify folks. Times meaning...

    The spirit of antichrist

    A dispensationalist is someone who believes in the theological view that history is divided into distinct periods or "dispensations," each marked by a specific way God interacts with humanity. Dispensationalism teaches that God has different plans for humanity in each era, with distinct rules...
