: question about living during the time of jesus christ
: volsfan1 Mon Feb 23, 2009 - 19:38:05
just a curious question but do you think you would have believed he was who he said he was. I mean in today's world you know what you would think if someone came  up to you and said he was jesus. Then someone told me about all of the miracles he did which would make me believe more.

Someone tell me if I'm wrong on this because I don't really know. But the antichrist is supposed to promote peace and everything. So would you have known that it wasn't the devil trying to fool people. The devil doesn't have the ability to perform any kind of miracles correct. The reason I ask this is because supposedly the antichrist is supposed to come back and fool people but I don't think he can do any supernatural things can he. All he can do is tempt people and guide them in the wrong direction. Just curious as to what you would have thought in the time of jesus if you were alive. It's hard to put ourselves in their shoes back then because of all the knowledge we have today.

God allows the devil to do miracles.

Look at the way he was able to tempt Jesus .

Look what he was able to do to Job.

Now to answer your question


Ephesians 1:3-5

The definition of an anti-Christ is someone who denies Jesus was Messiah.

At least, according to John (who wrote the epistles, the Gospel, and Revelation).
