Do Most Christians read simple words and do not know the definition of them? Like here’s one “Anti” .

Yes, for us in the 'older' generation -- The Emperors' OLD Clothes - were just fine. -- sometimes it takes a good 'shaking up' to help us appreciate what we Did have -- God's Word being honored in Society -- and Now we have a Good opportunity to Take a stand On God's Word -- but do 'we' really have the back-bone to Do that. Maybe that's coming on a bit strong -- backbone , yes, but the emotional energy To take the stand. The younger generation is Supposed to be doing that. It's been said that it takes but one generation for Biblical morality to crumble. We have seen T.V. shows change So Much in quality. I grew up with TV -- Good wholesome programs -- and little by little we get away From and become content with the changes in programming.

For a long time -- CSI was one of my favorite programs. I loved the teamwork and science of solving the crimes -- but it Is based on crimes -- and those can be found in Any kind of setting. And some of Those got into really questionable subject areas -- so I stopped watching it. It was taken off the programming and now that it's back On - somewhat - - they feature only the more gruesome, questionable situations. So -- I don't watch it anymore.

And some of the newer commercials -- one is incorporating two men being friendly for just a moment in time. But I automatically look the other way -- it's disgusting to see two men kissing. Instinctively we know it's "against" nature. But seeing a man and woman -- an arm around a shoulder, holding hands, a kiss -- is Natural. That is a God-given Natural thing. Society will never be able to change that.

In Bible study recently, we were talking about everyone having a conscience -- a person doesn't have to be a saved person to have one. And on the Other hand, there Do seem to be people who Don't have one. The criminally insane person. The socio-path. -- apparently no concept Of right/ wrong. They automatically Do evil. But there has been an up-roar about the groups that purposely destroy -- they Are human beings with a soul. Ya get them away From that destruct environment and they Can be reached with the Gospel. It Has happened, but you'll never hear about it on the News.

Should get back off my 'soap box'. Those of us in the 'older' generation need to know that we're Not alone. There Are things we Won't be accepting -- God's Word needs to be our standard.

Satan knows his business Sue, he is the god of this world and has access to the media, the arts and games, it's through these mind controlling amenities that he controls and manipulates weak willed people. He also enlists the gods of the world; sports people, film stars, rock stars and the like, to entice their fans to emulate their actions. We have the word of God to counteract their illusions with the truth, and the hearts of those whose names are in the book of life will respond. Many believers feel inadequate when it comes to evangelism, but its always good to remember, that even if you only lead one soul to Jesus, the whole of heaven will erupt in rejoicing and that can't be bad. Bless you.

Like the word "Sovereign" in "GOD is Sovereign"!


6The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life.”

7So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job  with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head. 8Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes.

9His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die!”

10He replied, “You are talking like a foolish b woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”
 
Actually -- it's the Sovereignty Of God.
Well do not stop there! Give us the definition of the two different meaning. "God Is Sovereign" and "The Sovereignty of GOD" terms. I do know they are two different "terms". by the syntax. So would you like to explain the "Actually" to those who do not know what the terms mean. This for edification of the "Saints of God".:cool:
 
I wasn't aware that I was being disrespectful to anyone Mesrim, I was pointing out how words are being misused. Or am I not allowed to voice an opinion, and, as an old person, lament the loss of a bygone age? And when I see what the woke generation are filling my great- grandchildren's heads with, I wonder if they deserve respect. I would rather see the children in my family taught the morals of scripture. bless you.
Dear brother,
Don't worry about Mesrim. He has been banned.

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

@PloughBoy -- That pretty much means that God has a plan and that His plan Will prevail..
I see you have [wrote] in a sense your own private personal "dictionary of biblical terms". ok, I understand. You seems to to a "Great teacher" of men and women. and school in the arts of "linguistics". and a great interpreter of "biblical Terminology". I have no argument with you. Ma'am.
The reason I wrote this reply this way, is because how you address the request I asked for "the edification of the body of Christ" that we might know with clarification and not error in the "Truth" of "The Supreme Ruler". I do thank you for your input. in clarifying the Biblical terms and syntax relating to this request:

"Give us the definition of the two different meaning. "God Is Sovereign" and "The Sovereignty of GOD" terms"

have a nice day.
 
PloughBoy -- I've no intention of getting into a theological discussion with you regarding the fact that "God is Sovereign" and/ or "the sovereignty of God" terms.

I've never claimed to be a 'great teacher' of men and women OR schooled in field of linguistics or a 'great interpreter of 'Biblical terminology".

I Do happen to know something about language to the extent that every language has it's own alphabet -- which makes translating from one language to another challenging at times.

Well what kind of "discussion" do you want to have outside of a "Theological one" in a "Discussion Room" about "words" relating to GOD?
 
Look back at post 87 -- if you care to expound -- it will be with others rather than me.
 
There Is a person who will be The Antichrist. That is mentioned once in Scripture. There Is speculation as to who the future Antichrist will be.
What scripture says there will be a person who will be The Antichrist ?
 
Look at 1 John 2:18 -- "the Antichrist is coming" "even now there are many antichrist's have come...." because of 'the' and Antichrist is capitolized.
 
Warning Concerning Antichrists

18 Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.

1Jn 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

The version you quoted does not capitalize antichrist ... The KJ i quoted does not us the word is but the word shall.

small differences i do not not read them the same as you :)
 
It seems that we've had this conversation before. There Will be an actual person as The Antichrist -- mentioned in Daniel 9 indirectly -- midway through the 7 yr tribulation -- whoever is in power will have the spirit of the devil possess him.
 
I have one of Dr. McGee's study books. I was listening to some of the video you included. What he's referring to is the term of 'little children' -- the various ways it's used. Now he's talking about 'antichrist'. The Antichrist. Anti can mean against or it can be in place Of Christ. One who denies the diety of Christ. The beast one against and one in place Of Christ. But Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

We don't hear preaching like that very much.
