I read both Christ and the Antichrist in my KJ Bible. Do you?
There are too many scripture on love hope, faith and other positive issues for me to bother having you read a bunch of quotes.
There are as many scripture that ring more as coming from an Antichrist.
I will only bother with the one not from lack of availability but for brevity.
Deut21-18
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: 19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. 21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
I don’t want to particularly debate this example and hope that most will recognize why I believe that only an Antichrist would come up with such a philosophy.
I believe that there was an attempt by those who compiled the various books of the Bible to insert the essence of the tree of knowledge of good and evil within it’s pages so that the debate and search for God would be stimulated by the dissemination of scripture.
I think that their consensus was that there was a God but that His philosophy was not yet fully written and that it would some day be revised.
To read the Bible literally seems silly in light of the fact that it is only a fraction of the books that were considered and indeed only a fraction of the books now known to exist.
So, is there a Christ and an Antichrist speaking out of the Bible, or is God as cruel as some say He is because of scriptures like the above?
