Originally posted by lucifershammerI've been told the Pope is the anti-Christ.
Would it be unrealistic to work towards an identity for Europe under the banner of Jesus Christ, for example?
Would the fact that Christian Europe was unified thus until a few centuries back mean that the "Fourth Empire" of Daniel has already come to pass? If so, who was the Anti-Christ? And how is it Biblical to suppose that the Anti-Christ would unify Europe under the banner of Christ?

Yes and ATY's response was directly on-topic.
LH made an attempt to engage discussion on a serious topic of concern to all in Europe (pro and anti) and was rewardewd by fundementalist nonsense.
The US is not the only country in the world. FFS

Yes, because as ATY's quoted article mentions, it is the anti-Christ who will rule united Europe. So working against Biblical prophesies, the Word of God Himself, is blasphemy.
The rapture occurs during the reign of the Anti-Christ and since RBHILL is still around, the Anti-Christ hasn't shown up yet.
EDIT: The Antichrist will speak blasph ...[text shortened]... ersecution of the tribulation saints, those who accept Christ after the rapture of His church.

If I ever see a serious thread in this forum I'll try not to "pollute" it.

Not quite, .... the subject is "The Foundation and Identity of Europe".
This means that serious secular rational thoughts are also welcome in the discussion.

Stop trying to control what people have to say when you don't like it. That's what the American Protestants have always taught about the Catholics...trying to control the world through their heirarchical organisation.
