Tgards - You paint Republican/ Conservative remarks as unwarranted and racist. There have been too many people who have been decimated and disillusioned by this President to criticize their ire.

Fast and Furious caused the death of two Border Agents. Their families have no answer - nor has there been any accountability with regard to their murders. Why? Obama granted Executive Privilege to his uber-biased Attorney General. Why? Where was the promised transparency? Why were thousands of weapons "walked" to Mexico and NOT FOLLOWED? Hundreds of Mexicans were killed with those guns as well. Dear God, he was (and, unbelievably, still is) our Attorney General, despite being held in contempt!! The incompetance is stunning!!

The Benghazi Consulate Attack caused the death of four brave Americans - including our U.S. Ambassador, Chris Stevens. The Ambassador had sent multiple requests for more security to the State Department throughout 2012 and cited al Qaeda threats as a reason why it was needed. The extra security was never sent. Rep. Jeff Duncan accused then Sec. of State Hillary Clinton of gross negligence and of turning the consulate in Benghazi into a "death trap."

The talking points after the attack, spewed by Susan Rice, seemed more intent on stirring sympathy for Muslims due to an anti-Islamic video which had NOTHING TO DO WITH Benghazi, and the refusal to classify the event as terrorism. The CIA's ORIGINAL DRAFT, emailed on September 12th, described the massacre as "AN ATTACK BY ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS WITH TIES TO AL QAEDA," with no reference made at all to an anti-Islamic video.

How long did the Administration keep up this ruse? Well, on SEPTEMBER 20th, 2012, a $70,000 U.S. TAXPAYER FUNDED AD was run in Pakistan, with Obama and Hillary APOLOGIZING for the anti-Islam video which "denigrated" a GREAT RELIGION. If, as Obama declared during his debate with Romney, he had referred to the Benghazi murders as an act of terror on September 12, WHY DID HE SPEND $70,000 OF OUR MONEY FOR THAT APOLOGY AD IN PAKISTAN ON SEPTEMBER 20TH?

WHERE WAS HE ON THE NIGHT OF THE ATTACKS? WHERE WAS HE THE DAY AFTER? WHERE WAS HIS CARE AND CONCERN? WHERE WAS HILLARY'S COMPASSION WHEN SHE WAS ASKED FOR EXTRA SECURITY IN BENGHAZI AND EITHER IGNORED OR REFUSED IT? WHAT WAS SHE THINKING WHEN SHE CALLOUSLY ASKED "WHAT DIFFERENCE AT THIS POINT DOES IT MAKE?"

OBAMA WENT TO A FUND RAISER IN VEGAS THE NEXT DAY!! WAS THAT MORE IMPORTANT THAN CONCENTRATING ON THE DETAILS OF THE ABSOLUTE HORROR THAT HAPPENED IN BENGHAZI? DID YOU SEE THAT POST-DEATH PICTURE OF STEVENS? WHAT ABOUT THOSE NAVY SEALS WHO SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES TO DEFEND THE CONSULATE? WHY ALL THE LIES IN THE TALKING POINTS? WHY WERE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DISRESPECTED IN THAT WAY?

The IRS and Lois Lerner ADMITTED to TARGETING Conservative and Tea Party Groups merely due to their political viewpoints. Lois Lerner took the Fifth, TWICE, so as not to "INCRIMINATE" herself. Why? Two years of her emails, as well as those of six other IRS members, have gone missing - the hard drives destroyed - just during the years in question!! How little respect does this Administration have for the intelligence of Americans that they would actually believe we would accept that as believable. Lerner too, is under contempt!!

Obama and his Administration campaigned mercilessly for Obamacare. How many times were we told we could keep our doctors, keep our preferred insurance, save $2,500? Enough times for those promises to receive an award - BIGGEST LIE OF THE YEAR!! FIVE MILLION people had their policies CANCELLED. If you didn't resort to Obamacare, you would be PENALIZED!! Do you realize the anxiety American citizens were subjected to? There were time limits - constantly being changed. Co-Pays increased!! Deductibles have skyrocketed. And that inaccessible website, three years in the making, which should have cost MILLIONS, has already cost a BILLION because of its train wreck of a rollout.

What about Green Energy Jobs? They have disappeared, along with the "INVESTMENTS" Obama made in the companies. Again, WE HAVE LOST BILLIONS!!!

And what about our military? The unkindest cut of all!!! The VA has been proven to be corrupt. Our brave men and women have been left to languish in their pain and illnesses without even receiving an appointment for care. WHY? Because the books had to be cooked so bonuses were doled out. And what about those dozens of dead American soldiers left in an L.A. morgue to decompose for 1-1/2 years without the honor due them of a proper burial. DISGUSTING!!!
Even now, our soldiers serving IN COMBAT, are being treated with such cruelty that it is unconscionable. WHY? Give me a minute!!

Russia and Hamas are causing great concern overseas and ISIS is establishing a caliphate - but are we bolstering our military? Of course not!! That would be common sense and reveal a determination to defend and protect our country. Instead our Army is being contracted to its smallest size in 70 years - from 520,000 to 440,000. In fact, Obama's Defense Dept. believes that budget cuts are so urgent that they CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THESE SOLDIERS ARE HOME and out of harm’s way before telling them they’re fired. Pink Slips are being distributed while they are still deployed. THAT IS BEYOND INHUMANE - IT'S SADISTIC!!

Most recently, it is this influx of illegal immigrants that raises our ire. Obama's DACA program is responsible, and all the confused, frightened children are the results of HIS arrogant refusal to not secure the borders into our country. OUR CHILDREN, who don't even seem to be considered in this crisis, are now subject to serious communicable diseases. Even Border Agents are afraid to go to their homes for fear of bringing the diseases to their families. Some have already contacted scabies and lice and pneumonia. Drug resistant TB, Swine Flu, Dengue Fever, Chagas, Chicken Pox, Measles, even Ebola Virus are traveling with these children.

Obama released 36,000 Illegal Murderers, Kidnappers, Rapists, and Abusers from our prisons onto our streets and among the newest immigrants flooding our borders are members of the violent MS 13 street gang, primary distributors of most illicit drugs. They are using Red Cross Phones at the Processing Centers to contact other members and recruit new ones. (NICE, HUH?) If you're worrying about your children - HERE'S WHAT YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT!!!!!

Just a few examples, Tgards, of why the words you have read from posters are so irate. Obama's actions are selfish and arrogant. He spends more time making speeches, campaigning, fund raising, golfing and vactioning than being present during times of scandal or crises. And though there does seem to be some vacillation recently, Obama idolizers just refuse to see what is happening. Our culture, our ideology, ethics and principles, our system of checks and balances, our allegiance and love of country and flag, for the respect which is due our first responders and our bravest and most patriotic soldiers - of all those who sacrifice their lives for strangers - for all our citizens and the doctrines we feel are in jeopardy - we have become more angry and justifiably frustrated.

We remember a time when the President of the U.S. would NEVER APOLOGIZE for our country or fail to applaud the goodness, compassion and generosity of its people. We see an Administration determined to dismiss American traditions and unilaterally replace them with "fundamental change" - WHICH IT DOES NOT NEED. We have an iconic Constitution and Bill of Rights which deserves laud and praise. Can we improve on its implementation? - Of Course - But NOT its values - NEVER its values!!!

I would be more concerned about my children reading that their President was a LIAR, an enemy of the Constitution he made an oath to uphold, and MIA during times of portent and peril, than in reading words by outraged people who are deeply concerned about the lives of their families and the honor of their country.

first if we believe that Jesus is the son of god, god in the flesh, by no other name may man be saved and salvation alone is through faith in Jesus who died for our sins, then if we disagree on who the anti Christ is, we are still brothers in Christ.

There are two main popular teachings today about who the antichrist is. One is that Islam is the antichrist. And the other mainstream teaching is that the antichrist will be a future political leader, who will appear (as some believe) AFTER the church has been "raptured" to heaven. So on this page, we will prove from the Bible why these two mainstream teachings are false.

Please note that both these teachings go against what the great Protestant reformers taught.

So why can't Islam and the idea of a future antichrist be true? Let's take a look at what Paul said about the "man of sin".

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 ...'Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.'

First, let's take a look at the name "son of perdition" which Paul calls the antichrist. There is only one other place in the Bible where this name "son of perdition" is used. And do you know who it is referring to? Let's take a look.

John 17:12 ...'While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.'

Jesus here is referring to JUDAS. And who was Judas? He was a "follower of Jesus", until he allowed Satan to enter into his heart to deceive and betray His Lord. So Judas was a deceiver from "amongst God's people". Now why did Paul reference the man of sin also as the "son of perdition"? Because he was showing us that the antichrist would be a deceiver from WITHIN THE CHURCH. The antichrist would APPEAR to be "one of us", but in fact would be a deceiver, working for Satan.

Now do we have any other Bible verses that support this view? Yes, take a look at what John says about antichrist in the following verses:

1 John 2:18-19 ...'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. THEY WENT OUT FROM US, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.'

John is backing up the principle that Paul described, saying that antichrist would "go out from us". In other words, the antichrist would have been ONE OF US. The antichrist would be WITHIN THE CHURCH, but then would go out from the church and make himself manifest by his deeds.

So we have a clear teaching here that the "man of sin", the "antichrist" would SEEM TO BE ONE OF US, but in fact would be working for Satan and be a deceiver. Now many people focus on the word "ANTI-christ" and deem it as someone who would openly oppose Christ Jesus and openly deny Christ. But remember, the meaning of the word "anti" here can also mean "IN PLACE OF". So antichrist can also mean "in place of Christ".

So the true antichrist would be someone who started within the church and seems to be one of us, and would actually put himself in place of Christ and deceive from within. Now what does this mean for Islam? It means that Islam CANNOT in any way be the antichrist, because Islam have always been OUTSIDE the church, and have always been clear opposers of Christ Jesus. And in the same way this also applies to the mainstream belief of a future political leader being antichrist. This cannot be accepted, because as we have already stated, the Bible teaches that antichrist would be one of us, not someone outside the church.

Now some people get hung up on the fact that "the man of sin" is singular, therefore the antichrist will be a single being. And they say it cannot be the pope, because there have been many popes throughout history. Well, we can simply clear this up with another Biblical principle. Take the high priest in the Old Testament. God said that only THE high priest could enter the most holy place in the tabernacle. So this means that only one man (Aaron) could ever enter right? No. Because there were many successors to Aaron's position as high priest. Therefore this singular term covers the POSITION rather than the person. So WHOEVER was in the position of pope would be antichrist.

"Sitteth in the Temple of God"


Something else that Paul reveals in 2 Thessalonians 2 is that the man of sin would "sit in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God". This is where the mainstream teaching of a future antichrist bases its teaching. From this description many are waiting for a future antichrist who will sit in the rebuilt temple in Israel. Now what the majority of Christians miss regarding this is that the New Testament clearly teaches us that the "temple" has shifted from the physical to the SPIRITUAL.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 ...'Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.'

1 Corinthians 6:19 ...'What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?'

So Paul now clearly teaches that the temple of God is US, the people of "THE CHURCH". We, our bodies are the temple of God, and God dwells in us. So we CANNOT now say that Paul is referring to a physical temple in 2 Thessalonians. Paul is referring to someone who sits in "the church", and who exalts himself, proclaiming that he is "GOD ON EARTH".

Who sits in "the church" proclaiming to be "God on Earth?" THE POPE!

Is Islam the antichrist? No, Islam CANNOT fulfil the role of the Bible antichrist. Is the antichrist a future, single, political leader? No, a future political leader CANNOT fulfil the role of the Bible antichrist. These mainstream teachings originated from the Jesuits in order to take the focus off the Roman Catholic Church as being antichrist. And unfortunately, the majority of Christians today have fallen for these false teachings, and have forgotten the great truths that the Protestant reformers revealed to the world
