[quote:Anonymous Coward 937940:MV8yODMxNjY0XzQ5Njk4ODU3X0JGQ0EzNDBC] [quote:Bunji:MV8yODMxNjY0X0EyQzhCMTlF] Since a large portion of the religious population would expect the AC first, what if the AC just laughed and walked away. Where would that leave Christ? [/quote] I think this is an interesting question. At first I thought this too. The first one to pop the head out and make a claim gets hammered, popamole style. But then I realized there was a role behind it. Something not necessary evil. I realized the antichrist is justified. The punishment described could be interpreted as a reward. The actions of the antichrist could actually be positive. What is written is just a framework. What happens is what will define the person and be evaluated. So before its set on stone, there are many interpretations. Im very imaginative, so when I read things there I imediately interpret good things as possibly being bad, or apparent bad things as potentially good. The same person can actually roleplay more than one role at the same time, or different roles successively, or be seen by one group, lets say Protestants as Antichrist, by another as Christ, and by Muslims as Maddi. The Dajjal of the Muslims could be the Christ. The Christ of the muslims could end up being the antichrist and so on. You can get people in certain positions and within their areas and religions they can be heroes if they follow the flow. If they act in a way that is not expected by that group of people, then said person will be labeled the satan/evil one. Its all too modal when you zoom in on it. Until you get antagonists in positions of religious, political, economic influence and Analise all actors through the different religious texts and within the same texts, even completely inverted interpretations are possible. Its like a strategy game, or one of those card games. Each player plays its cards, in its own turn and the cards cause effects on people and allies help and enemies hinder. Until all cards are played and everything is revealed. If you are a Christian, you are expected to see one or more pretenders and false prophets, false christs and antichrists. So for Christians, its just a matter of not changing belief, nor worshipping anyone until the true one comes and is undeniable. Coming in the clouds, in the blink of an eye, coming as lightining or something. But before that, you will hear rumors of wars, hear people talking about christ here, christ there, christ in the desert, christ in the secret chambers... As a Christian all you have to do is not believe anything else and keep to yourself, or create nucleous groups of resistence and opposition towards the characters who are labeled by other groups as christs etc... For each religion there is a public expectation. And people WILL find fault until the end comes. [/quote]
Original Message
This is a hypothetical scenario, not based on any facts.
I really just want to see what people think, assuming they want to think, would happen if the following events played out.
Again I must remind people this is a
hypothetical scenario
.
What if the Anti Christ arrives first and realises that they are the AC. Then the Christ arrives and realises they are Christ.
They both realise it doesn't matter what they are, only what people believe. Since a large portion of the religious population would expect the AC first, what if the AC just laughed and walked away.
Where would that leave Christ?
