It's in 1 John, I think... and yes, there isn't just one Anti-Christ at all!

Vicky

I'll try to find that verse for you, in a while.

Cheers Vicky

Austin 3:16

and thats the bottom line
because stone cold said so.

"Meaningless! Meaningless!"
says the Teacher.
"Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless"





Ecclesiastes 1:2

It's 1 John 2: 18-23
18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.[d] (21)I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. (22)Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. (23)No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

All of 1 John 2 is worth reading..

I think I might be one....

You don't know? !

Do you want to be one?

Vicky

Unfortunately we spawn of Satan don't have a lot of say in the matter. But one good thing you can always rely on in a genuine antichrist, is an excellent sense of humour

You have to admit Jesus was rubbish at that.

water into wine .!! feeding 5000 with a tin of sardines and half a hovis

sounds like a party kind of guy to me

"hey jesus want to come to a party, iv'e got a crate of perrier and a tuna sandwich, you just do your magic"

There's the thing, he was a party guy. The religious leaders of his time dissed him for that. In the language of the KJV, they called him a "glutton and wine-bibber"... and criticised him for partying with people regarded as low-lifes...

My favourite way of expressing heaven is as a continual party.. and tha image is used a lot...

Vicky

so eating and drinking and partying with whores and low lifes is living like jesus

kewl

i am now a self proffesed hloy man

'Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.'

Mathew 7:21

There's hope for me yet. Sounds like decent caring loving atheists will be pretty much up the front of the queue for heaven, but a less than sincere Christian could be well down the back.

Watch out you Christians, we Atheists are gonna beat you into heaven..We like to win you know.

It's more than one verse:


Song of Solomon 4:16 - 5:5

16. Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

Chapter 5

1. I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
2. I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
3. I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
4. My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.
5. I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.

Oh, Crikey. The whole bloody book is worth two hundred copies of the rest of the Bible.

Me being me, you ask for a verse and I'll give you a book: Job.

One of the best written (at least in translation) and certainly the most philosophical book of the OT, it raises (but doesn't answer) deep, eternal theological questions on the nature of evil. It also has one of the most obvious interpolations in the Bible.

The other verses I 'like' are just the ones that Christians find problematic, and I don't think that's what you're after.

I like Genesis 6:6

And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.



Kind of makes the old guy seem more human, doesn't it?

sort of like Exodus 32:14

And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

'They that weave networks shall be confounded'

Isaiah 19:9

All network admins know it's true.

Ezekial 25:17

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children; and I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers and you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

Used of course in Pulp Fiction, however apparently it is not correct.

I'm definitely an antichrist...

... Though I'm not convinced it excludes me from anything cos I'm pretty pleasant all round...

2 Kings 2:23-24

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said. "Go on up, you baldhead!" He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.
