(5,439 posts)The only reason I read it was because one of my friends gave it to me to read. He was Catholic but fell into the whole born again stuff at the University he attended. I told him I wasn't convinced. To his credit he respected my opinion, and isn't a tsf fan. While we remain friends we mostly just talk on line, with another friend, and rarely bring up religion or politics.
Several priests over the years told me Revelations is bunk. Where I am coming from on the "anti Christ," issue is from the gospels where Jesus warns his followers that there would be people who pretended to be believers in his teachings, but then in reality end up advocating the exact opposite of his teachings and lead others into doing the same. To me tsf and his followers definitely fit that criteria, in my view.
