We all know what garbage info-evils are on youtube, mixed in with the good stuff. No wonder people are confused.

Well, there is no single Antichrist that rises up on the political stage of the world. The single Antichrist doctrine is a miss handling of the book of Revelation by those who interpret the book carnally. That is the simple answer. Personally I reject all carnal interpretation of the book of Revelation. The carnal doctrines are hard to shake if that has been your diet.
Totally get where you're coming from... but just curious - if there’s no singular Antichrist, how do you reconcile passages like 2 Thessalonians 2 where Paul talks about “the man of lawlessness” being revealed? That sure sounds like an individual figure, not just a system. Revelation isn't meant to be read carnally, agreed - but it is meant to be read contextually. Ignoring the plain grammatical-historical reading can lead us just as far off as over-literalizing symbols.
Just some food for thought 🍽👀
I should have pinned it. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack here:

I'll find it though. Thanks for your patience.
Are you still looking? I’m interested in your study. But this is a lot to sift through!
Yes, I'm back 7 months.........then it went reload on me. My phone has trouble going back that far. I found the challenge from Swamprangers, pinned it, then got booted.
I'm close.
:) thanks for your patience.
I've explained 2 Thessalonians before. I'll look it up for you. I should be able to find the thread.
A man of lawless Ness is a type of person. Look around, many are revealed.
There are many anti-Christs already in the world. They deny that Jesus will physically return to this earth as the Bible plainly states several times.
Yes, I'm trying to address the single Antichrist that people stick into the book of Revelation. I did it once for Swamprangers, 7 months ago, apparently. It takes like 5 minutes or 10 for my phone to fo back that far.
Do you believe that Jesus physically returns to earth during the time the Book of Revelation depicts? Physically, like you could put your arm around him and get a selfie.
YES!
I've read the book of Revelation hundreds of times. There is no physical return in the book of Revelation. Theologians don't put a physical return in the book. They simply say the new creation is physical in the book. I disagree with the Theologians.
For a physical return you will have to use another text, like perhaps the Gospels. But Jesus doesn't ever say he's returning physically in the Gospels. Acts alludes to it in the 1st chapter and then never mentions such a thing again.
I'm not against a physical return. Show it to me in scripture. I am against mishandling the scriptures and putting in doctrines that the text doesn't support.
I couldn't find the 2 thees work I did.
I'll ask Swamprangers if he has it. He keeps stuff like that on my doctrine. I'm a study of his. :)
Correct. It's a succession of men, who occupy the office of anti-christ. https://files.catbox.moe/ce5vd8.jpeg
There were and are other anti-christs, i.e people who operate in the same way, who believe themselves to be in Christ's position instead of Jesus; who are the gods of their own lives (this encompasses athiests and satanists) or who believe themselves to be the gods of other peoples' lives (this encompasses Muslims and the Catholic Crusaders, "convert or die"). The Jesus-rejecting Jews have put their rabbis and traditions in Christ's position (Christ explained the Scriptures yet they look to their Rabbis and Talmud). I could go on. There are many anti-christs. The chief, big-dog anti-christ sits on a throne in Vatican City and claims to be the head of all christians worldwide, and also claims to have authority over all world leaders (temporal powers of the pope) as defined in Unam Sanctum.
