Dec 12, 2018  The Lawless One is one of the most entertaining books I've read in a long time. I typically don't read a lot of fiction however, this came highly recommended to me by a friend. I found the book to be not only engaging but also insightful.

So i believe people will believe the anit christ is Jesus, and my eyes were just open to his teaching by God.The lawless one will teach a forum of old doctrine which i will list. But basically states it doesn't matter what you do as long as you have knowledge of Jesus you will be saved, in other words no law, you need obey nothing. That you can do anything and it is ok as long as you have knowledge of Jesus. Paul was accused of preaching this and it set off a argument between him and the Jews. These are the doctrines of lawlessness which will be preached.

This is why he is the one of lawless and the people are those of lawlessness.Nicolaitans were one of the heretical sects that plagued the churches at Ephesus and at Pergamum, according to Revelation 2:6,15. Irenaeus identifies them as followers of Nicolas, one of the seven chosen in Acts 6, and as men who 'lead lives of unrestrained indulgence'^1^. He also relates them to Gnosticism: 'John, the disciple of the Lord, preaches this faith (the deity of Christ), and seeks, by the proclamation of the Gospel, to remove that error which by Cerinthus had been disseminated among men, and a long time previously by those termed Nicolaitans, who are an offset of that 'knowledge' falsely so called, that he might confound them, and persuade them that there is but one God, who made all things by His Word'^2^.

There is also historical evidence of a Gnostic sect called Nitolaitans a century or so later.The doctrine of the Nicolaitans appears to have been a form of antinomianism, which makes the fatal mistake that man can freely partake in sin because the Law of God is no longer binding. I am not sure where you are getting your information but please consider other sources and erase from memory much of what you've placed here in the OP.In the context of Paul's speaking of a time of lawlessness (to the church at Thessalonica) this has nothing whatsoever to do with the Mosaic Law. Paul is speaking of a time when there will be a general lack of concern for the things of God as it relates to the Christian faith.

I believe that the man of sin is a real person who is yet to be revealed.These letters to this church did not include symbolism. He was addressing an ongoing and specific false teaching by the circumcision that Christ would return at any moment to set up His earthly kingdom. Greetings Blueflame,Just a couple of thoughts concerning your OP.

Much can be said, but I will limit myself to just a few words as I consider a few statements concerning what you said. I am not questioning your sincerity, or faith, God forbid. We are here to help one another, not to destroy ones's faith, and to expose false positions, so that we can worship God according to his word that he has graciously given to us, that we may know how we can walk and please him.Statement #1You used these words: 'The lawless one' The man of sin is not a single individual, or, and neither, a succession of Popes, as many believe. Since you were not total clear on this, I am only mentioning this, since you did use the phrase: 'the lawless one. Just a little that may help on this discussion is in 2 Thes 2:8 Wicked is capitalized in the kjv anyway and the Greek for it is,2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:anomos an'-om-osfrom 1 (as a negative particle) and 3551; lawless, i.e. Just a little that may help on this discussion is in 2 Thes 2:8 Wicked is capitalized in the kjv anyway and the Greek for it is,2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:anomos an'-om-osfrom 1 (as a negative particle) and 3551; lawless, i.e. I really believe, that the final anit christ they believe is Jesus, and that he says he is.

I was trying to figure out what doctrine he would use. As i change what i believe and present it to people who are not Christians, i see what doctrines the world will except these days and what not.

To summon it up the world will only except lawless doctrine such as the ones i list in the OP. This is what i believe will be preached by the ant christ and false prophets to seduce the world. It will be you are for given, the law no longer matter, that all are saved, and that the flesh does not effect the soul and along these lines. I see this doctrine starting to surface and even headed that way with current pope. I see people willing to accept this doctrine, but not one of law. Now don't misunderstand me, the law does not save us, nor do we earn are way to heaven, but we keep the law because we love God, and the law was put there to help us, We are children of God, children of salvation and grace, and children of law.I was looking at the law all wrong till i heard Jesus say he hates the lawless in Rev, that woke me up. I know see with my self that one sin leads to other sins greater and greater, to break this we must live in Gods will in law out of Love.

The Law is Good, but there is a line, not to be like those of Jesus time the teacher of the law and not to be the lawless, and not to be luke warm. So people who don't see will say how do you live then you have thrown out everything. Here is the answer by the narrow gate, with clothes made of salvation and grace, washed in blood and a sash of Law around are shoulder.We are not lost if we break the law, we have forgiveness but we must get back up and try again with God helping us. The Law is are discipline and i don't mean that in a punishing way, but in a organized straight way in which we do things.

Satan's beast will not claim to be Jesus, but will blaspheme Jesus and the Lord's immortal ecclesia openly during the coming tribulation period upon the earth Revelation 13:6The term 'anti-christ' means one who is 'against' Jesus Christ, not one who claims to be Jesus ChristKeep in mind that Jesus is both God and human. And it is Satan who plays his behind the scenes subtle game with ambition to usurp the Lord's position by any means at his disposal Revelation 12:4.

' Or, how else would one explain 2 Timothy 3:-4:5, and many others scriptures.' RedPaul speaks of the present age of grace when apostasy invades the 'church'This degradation has and is happening on a colossal scale todayThere is a day coming when the Lord will tarry no longer and He will turn upon an unbelieving intransigent world and bring His unmitigated wrathWe are living in the breach of prophetic verse between His first advent. And His secondIn the silent spot as He waits, not wanting that any should perish but that all who will come will come 2 Peter 3:10.

The day of the Lord will come without warning and will include His hour of trial and judgment of 2550 days, His literal millennial kingdom upon the earth for the next 1000 years Revelation 20:4, and His purging of this present earth and universe with fire Revelation 20:4. Then His eternal kingdom will begin Revelation 21; 22The prophecy clock is not ticking at present and has not been since the ending of His first advent at His 'cutting off'.

Just a little that may help on this discussion is in 2 Thes 2:8 Wicked is capitalized in the kjv anyway and the Greek for it is,2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:anomos an'-om-osfrom 1 (as a negative particle) and 3551; lawless, i.e. What Bible linker has presented is a well thought out and scriptural argument. I also am of the same train of thought, so it must be trueSeriously though if you take the Timothy scripture you presented is actually cements linkers position, rather than support your own. Satan temps people with sin, so it naturally follows that those who worship the beast and the dragon as their god, will be filled with all sorts of sin and have a form of godliness, which is basically humanistic arrogant attitude of self righteousness which happening more these days, from asking tolerance from the rather intolerant, the tables turned to now accusing calling the righteous intolerant, where the unrighteous are slowly becoming the bigoted intolerant. Having a form of godliness but denying the power of grace and love.2 theseaolonians 3, 10-13.
