Christians :What is the culmination of your faith?

-------------------------------------------------------

What is the culmination of the christian faith?

To be with God in heaven?

What must preceed God's return?

Antichrist?

So if you are a christian, shouldn't you welcome the antichrist's arrival?

because if he doesn't come then Christ can't come.

So why be afraid?

Unless of course this brings to light a lack of faith?

we are all afraid.

That is part of our "flesh"

and the only way to shed the flesh and be with Christ

is to die.

Don't fear death, Christ went to hell and took the keys away from the devil

death no longer holds the meaning it once had.

If you are truly a person of faith,

then stop all this "he's the antichrist" stuff

as if that was something to fear.

"The only thing we have to fear is FEAR ITSELF"

This in response to an email I received telling me to be afraid of the ANti-Christ

from a "WELL MEANING"

christian conservative who is in my email address book:

Funny how Christians are afraid of the Antichrist, when that's supposed to be a part of their religion's prophecy that puts them on top.

Too many people have their "faith" based in fear. Sad.

Weird - I think President Bush is the AntiChrist - certainly he is bringing about the destruction of the world as we knew it. When the rapture comes I could be in the middle of a senten

I'm not afraid of the anti-Christ. God is more powerful and whatever happens will be in God's plan.

The detestation of Baghdad and the death of Sadam was the last stage we can sing and dance after one fellow leaves 1600 pen st.. Be happy most of all the strange and weird stuff is done. If North Korea is a bit calm they can stay in office, the plans to change out those fellows are on the table would take a few months. I had worked a while for the Air force and can tell you three to ten days those people will be crying for no more booms on their heads. So be happy all things are being looked after and all men will turn to the Earth to love it and know its our greatest gift from God along with all the joy we can find. Every one on this Earth is loved more than they will ever know.

I am not afraid of the antichrist because I won't be around to see his wrath. I will be in heaven dancing with Jesus and my beloveds. If your friend was a Christian he should know this.

BTW, I too think GW has something to do with Satan. Seriously.
