If Christ lives within each of us, so does the anti-Christ (whatever you think they both are).

Two sides of the same coin.

He can't be the anti-christ. Or if he is it's an accident and he hasn't realised it yet.
Jeez - how scary would it be once he works it out!?

"If you think of reality as being like a holograph, as some do..."

I don't....and I get one vote. ;>)

(you may note that I don't make any claim about what reality IS like..

What we do have are many fanciful notions that mostly describe personal attitudes, often very poetically and emphatically expressed. I suppose you can say that this constitutes 'multiple concepts', but "everywhere at once" is a concept that, while having a certain ring to it, doesn't have a lot of substance when you try to explicate exactly what it might mean....kinda like transsubstantiation or multiple planes of existance.

I read a book on the prophecies of Nostradamus and he reckoned the 3rd anti christ would be called 'MABUS' ...Not a million miles from 'MR. BUSH' is it... (Bruce Baillie)

Go back to where you came from and read a bit. There are literally dozens of interpretations for 'Mabus' in the histroy of Nostradamus 'experts'.

Just one recnet fanciful one (and many miles closer than the Bush idiocy, but still idiotic): Saddam, of course is 'Mabus'. Why? The anti-Christ means that you have to read the name in the mirror and then all doubts will leave.

Century 2, Quatrain 62
Mabus plus tost alors mourra, viendra,
De gens & bestes vn horrible defaite:
Puis tout à coup la vengeance on verra,
Cent, main, faim quand courra la comete.

Mabus then will soon die, there will come
A horrible undoing of people and animals:
At once vengeance one will see vengeance,
One hundred hands, thirst, famine, when the comet will run.

Wolfgang (seeing without doubt now that only Saddam can have been meant by the verse)

Nostradamus... reckoned the 3rd anti christ would be called 'MABUS'

Surely he didn't mean Joel Mabus? Oh well, I guess we could do a lot worse than to have the anti-Christ turn out to be a picker.

"... tendency within each one of us..." I thought it was God-ness which was universal within each of us? Are all concepts everywhere at once?

If you think of reality as being like a holograph, as some do, then yes... all concepts are everwhere at once.

Bill D - yes, all concepts are everywhere at once. The difference is, some of us have a safety feature that prevents us from doing horrible things, and sometimes even about thinking of doing those things. But to be human means that we do have all possibilities of behaviour in us. So whether you believe in God or the Devil they are useful as abstractions for what is inside each human as a range of actions and chosen beliefs.

Yeah, I know that being human requires us to deal with a lot of conflicting urges, but I just can't wrap my head around too many generalizations.

"... do we let it control us or not?" some do, some don't. *shrug* You & I don't....the rest of that 'we' is hard to know about.

(yes...just Bill, again, being picky about language...)

I have never been a student of the anti-christ concept, so my observations are casual at best.   The anti-christ would be one who professed allegiance to God, one who proclaimed lofty goals of peace, liberty,and prosperity, but in reality practiced deception and when finally possessing power would reveal his true sinister character which would be oppressive and materialistic.   This type of anti-christ could certainly be a puppet dangling from strings in someone else's control.

Well, Bill, I suggest that the anti-Christ (if there is one) is the tendency within each one of us to be self-centered, cruel, violent, greedy, treacherous, dishonest, murderous, etc...

And that tendency is there. The question is, do we let it control us or not?

Some say Nostradamus has suggested that after the time of the third anti-Christ will come the thousand years peace.

I suggest that we'll all be a lot happier when we get to the post-Bush era.

I think you are giving him too much credit withthat powerful little word "the". I guess given all his screwups he may well be an anti-Christ, though.

When handling situations I always ask myself "How would Jesus deal with this?

I've often thought that when the drink runs out at parties. Good practical man he was. I'm not very fond of fish though.

Well, this thought has crossed my mind a few times and after his handlin' of Katrina I wouldn't doubt it...

When handling situations I always ask myself "How would Jesus deal with this? and the answerI come up with are completely oppoiste of waht Bush does...

I thought he was presented a wonderful opportunity with Katrina to let his so-called Faith shine through but it took Karl Rove tellin' him to go to New Orleans fir a photo op to get him near the joint..

Had Jimmy Carter been president we would have seen how a man with true Faith demonstartes it...

I don't give a sod if he's anti-christ or anti- freeze or antimacassar, or even antidisestablishmentarian. The problem is that he's anti-human and pro-oil and pro- money.
