I voted for Trump in 2016 . . . because I was lied to and I fell for it

    Do we know if the anti-Christ is aware they are the anti-Christ? Because it seems like trump just accidentally stumbled into embodying that concept so perfectly just by being his normal piece of shit self.

      No, the idea of the antichrist knowing is a supposition of them being a servant of the beast. A cultural assumption of Satan’s “human servants” having first hand communication like one does with a human boss.

      Inasmuch as I could play with the idea of believing in revelations, I would believe that it’s less about a “chosen one” antichrist, and moreso an “antichrist candidate” that when someone can fulfill the roll and obtain power; then it’s a sign of times incoming. Also, (lego) Brick Bible Revelations is a fascinating interpretation.

        Thanks for your response. I now have exactly one reason to argue against trump being the anti-Christ (were such a thing to exist).

        I’m glad you posted that link, or I would have. That’s the best summation of the Anti-Christ I’ve seen, and I’ve posted it many times over the past few years.

        I don’t believe in any of that bullshit, but if I did, this post would make an enormous impact on me. More Christians need to see it.

        Also let’s not forget that according to the old testament Satan is just the head of gods legal department.
