I mean by being the Anti-christ he would be acting in accordance with gods will so wouldn't he being doing Gods work. Would it make sense for him to be punished for being what god created him to be?

No, he is not allowed there...\n\nMaybe he can go to Anti-Hell... But not hell...\n\nIn similar terms, maybe he can go to Anti-heaven... But not heaven...

More importantly, and I suspect this is what you're getting at, why would a god who wants worship set himself up to be totally illogical and irrational? I think that if there was a god controlling it all, we'd be somehow predispositioned to believing in him, rather than having to ignore all logic and reason just to get into heaven.

No matter how evil a man is, his evil act sooner or later will be overcome by the truth.  As God is merciful and forgiving, but until\nto a certain extend of provoking God's anger, God shall punish the evil one.

Not an antagonist but a betrayer. He had hoped that Jesus would be an earthly deliverer who would be this great hero and save the Jews from the Romans (like so many others thought). But when He realized that He was not what he had expected he turned Jesus in.

Personally, I feel that Evil would have just had ultimate reign.  For creation to cease to exist, wouldn't God have to make it so?  It doesn't seem like God's character to just give up like that.\n\nThen again, God knows everything that is going to happen, so if he *had* bowed down, maybe God would have had another plan to fix the matter?

He's God, so if he chooses not to exist, he can do it. The asker is correct. Hahah!\nRead up about the paradox of creating a stone that cannot be lifted. It's on wikipedia, by the way.

First of all, there IS a God. The universe didn't just create itself. Second, God punishes unrepentant sinners. Those who do not recieve(believe) the atoning sacrifice of Christ when they die are punished. If you admit that you are a sinner and believe that Christ died for you than you become a Christian, or, a follower of Christ. As a Christian you are commanded to love all people, even those who seem unlovable. So, as  Christian you wouldn't snub people off. And if people snubbed you off you would try not to let it bother you. Those who aren't Christians don't care how they treat people and they don't think about what happens after they leave this life.

I definitely wouldn't run to the first guy claiming he was the reincarnation of Him. I've heard  that the anti-Christ will come and people will be fooled into worshiping him. I like to think I would KNOW the difference.

I've always wondered that. Christ says quite blatantly what he thinks of it, but christians go along with the original.. hmm

The "church" as an institution I think has really used spirituality to hype the political agenda of it's rulers (witness the Inquisition). But the confirmation of rules that really help a society work (don't steal, murder, cop another person's spouse or property) I think would be something that a "God" would be all in favor of.  I think that there are God ordained humans whose life's work is to remind those of a lesser spiritual bent that "to treat others as you would be treated" is the ideal.  These people SHOULD be "the church" but like you say there are those who for milllineums have used the claim that they have a "direct line to God" to control whole populations.  I figure if there IS a God, and He created me, why wouldn't He care what happens to me and if I am living a worthwhile life or not. I'm not sure about a heaven or hell type of judgement, but once again, if there IS a God/Creator then I figure he cares if I am a hurter or a helper and when I go back to Him He will care about an accounting that I have for my actions while I passed through his Creation.

it sounds like what you are saying is if Jesus was still here on earth today, would he be treated with respect or like crap as he was in his day? and would we just repeat the past and worship him after he is physically dead, now that he is not around to hold us accountable.\n\nHe would definitely be treated like crap. \n\nIf you read the gospels it is pretty clear that Jesus was nonviolent, nonresistant, compassionate and lived simply.\n\nJust look at the people who have respect and power in this world and they are the exact opposite of having Jesus' qualities. \n\nThese people go to war....for stupid reasons..which is violence(jesus was nonviolent) and yet So called christians approve of this along with capital punishment and a variety of other violent means.\n\nThese people don't turn the other cheek. (jesus was Nonresistance). Despite the teachings of turning the other cheek, do the well-respected rulers and so-called heroes in our society really turn the cheek or geniunely forgive...of course not. people who love power usually don't.\n\nAre these well-respected people compassionate? (jesus was compassionate). If they are compassionate, then how can so many people in this world let alone the wealthiest of countries still be dominated by so much poverty and homelessness. And why are there so many bitter divorces (which is also not turning the other cheek or forgiveness) and crime and corrupt leadership and so on....? \n\nAre these Heroes of ours living simply? (Jesus and his followers lived simply, knowing that possesions corrupt and giving is love).\nThis is probably the obvious of all to answer and the one that most christians and others will not be willing to do. eventhough the gospels repeatedly warn of the worshipping of mammon and lost of heavenly rewards by having these things. This is one area that is the most emphasized in the gospels and the one area that is mostly ignored,...for obvious reasons. \n\nSo, would jesus be hated and despised and treated like crap if he were here today?. absolutely...and the evidence is that the one's who are most antichristain(christian being someone who is christlike and christlike being someone who follows a life as explained above)are treated the best in our society and the one's who are most christ-like are treated inferior.\n\nAnd because of this antichristian worshipping that world socities do....they would have to take  the real christ and turn him into an idea the same way that we turn human beings into celebrrties and worship him on our terms not his. Thus making jesus invisible even while visible.

It is the duty of every real christian to pull master down from the cross (before he dies). That is what he expects of his disciples. Hanging him up there to get your butt into heaven is not very nice. We really need to save christ. He is surrounded by dogs and other common animals and we have to help the fellow out. Is there even one christian who would lend a hand? Didn't think so.

This is a question that is very hard to answer and the answer that i am about to give is only speculation or a calculated guess and can be wrong. Firstly, i would presume that you are a Christian. \n\nIn order to make a guess who the anti- Christ or the nationality of him, we need to understand, how far would his rule goes? Would he rule the world or only the major parts. Lets presume he is going to rule the world for the 7 years. Then the people of this world has to choose him and believe that he is capable. Some might even go on to say he is the messiah. In order for that to happen, the anti-christ must appease 4 major groups of people.\nThey are the jews, the muslims, the christians and the rest of the world. This is an almost impossible task but is it possible?\n\n1) He must appease the jews, if he is going to be accepted by the jews. In the later part of the anti-christ ministry , we find that jews discover that thy were duped and fled to the mountains but at its earlier stage, the jews or israelites have to accept him and therefore he can have full access into the temple(which later part would play a significant role). However the jews will only accept him if he is also born a jew because the messiah has to be an isrealite. So He has to be an Isrealite.\n\n2) But the majority of the middle east are muslims. And if the muslims are going to accept him and listen to him, he has to be muslim. If he is going to bring peace in the middle east and also somewhat be a messiah. To the muslims, he has to be a muslim\n\n3) To the rest of he world, If he can bring peace and probably win the nobel peace prize, he would probably be worthy to sit in that position.\n\n4)Now the christians reads a lot and probably are prepared for all sorts of scenerios. However the bible did say that if possible, he will decieve even the elect. So how to decieve the christians? when does a Christian be lieve  that the person is the messiah. He has to do miracles, signs and wonders. Prominent ministries has to promote him. That is what is happening today around the world. doesnt matter if they speak wrong doctrine aslong as prophets afirm and they can perform signs and wonders. Justifying themselves by saying modern day prophets dun need to get all their prophecies a 100 percent correct.\n\nSo i put forth to you\n\nTo be a jew, the mother has to be a jew. So maybe the mother of the antichrist is jew married to a father who is muslim promoted  by prominent Christian ministries and modern day prohets(a trusted prophet that went astray in his later ministries and became a false prophet) as the messiah and able to do false sins and wonders.He would be smart able to come up with a peace proposal and give peace and thereby acknowlege by the rest of the world as their leader.

Of course he could.  The many inaccuracies in the Bible lead us to a few possible conclusions:\n\n1.  If God is the author, then God is not perfect.\n2.  If God is indeed Perfect, then God is not the author.\n\nIts very difficult to accept that an omnipotent being revealed himself through a book at a time when almost nobody knew how to read.

What follows is just my opinion ... Anti-Christ means one who stands in and takes the place of Christ. Most Christians expect this to be an evil individual that will rule the world for a short time during what they think of as the end times. That's OK, people believe what they want/need/should and I'm fine with that. But, consider ... In the individual, what is it that stands in Christs stead? What ursurps the Christ Consciousness within each of us, telling us that we are something other than we are? Lets go a little further ... In the Book of Revelation John said that the Anti-Christ had a number. It was 666. In accordance with Biblical Numerolgy, or Sacred Gematria as some call it, 6 is man's number. Its just one short of God's number which is 7 and refers to perfection or completness. In the Christian New Testament God is described in a three fold manner, which some interpret as a trinitarian concept of God, but it speaks of ... God, the Father, the one who speaks. God, the Son, the one who manifests. And God, the Holy Spirit, the one that acts after the word has been spoken by the Father and brings about the effect, which effect is the Son. Just so the Anti-Christ attempts to operate along these three lines. Now what in MAN, who's number is 6, makes all these false claims? What speaks to us and seems to be the force behind us and then makes the thing reality? The one thing that ursurps Christ or Christ Conciousness in each of us, the one thing that seems to rule us and our world, the one thing that would have us believe that it is the prime force and true reality, is ... The ego. The ego is what stands between me and Oneness with Deity. And that thing, that false Messiah, that thing called ego is, for me anyway, Anti-Christ. But, hey, that's just me. I'm all for the other guy developing along the lines he/she should and the way he/she should. ~ Peace and Blessings ~
