Sounds like Tom is trying to be the devil's advocate. Jesus Christ talked to the devil, in person. So evil is in the form of created beings. The anti-christ is the devil's last, and unsuccessful attempt to destroy mankind's soul. I read the end of the chapter, so I know the final outcome. Somebody ...

You read WAY too much doubt in me because of my posts. Well...I was making an assesment not only of this one post but from over a year of reading many of them and you have to admit that you sometimes can give off the impression I got. I don't know you personally so what other than your posts can I ...

It's good to check out the goings on at the WCC every now and then, if you can do it and not hurl.

Maybe the figurative examples used in scriptures refers to corporate symbols. Well, to my knowledge, no Church Father has ever interpreted the Anti-Christ in that wa...

Hi Nicholas, Yes, it is me, I will be in Japan from Friday 9 for a week, so will be at the Holy Resurrection Cathedral on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11. Fr John told me that it is the National Council and all the Priests from Japan will be there. If you are there it will be nice to see you. I remember ...
