Well, if skittles has read the whole thing, she'd have a more educated opinion of which gospel you'd benefit the most from.
The antichrist is supposed to come to earth as a human, live among us and then rise up to incredible power, sort of like Hitler.
The Left Behind books are VERY evangelical and I'd hesitate before recommending them to anyone who's interested in the scholarly side of the story.

Really? Maybe Tom Riddle at first, but Voldemort is pretty overtly evil and scary.
Hitler makes for a better comparison, I think.

Posted: 4/18/06 at 8:10pmThe Gospel of John is the most poetic and mystical.
#1678Bagel bread is banally bizarre
Posted: 4/18/06 at 8:11pmOh, I wouldn't read them for scholarly content, nia. I just think it might be interesting.

Posted: 4/18/06 at 8:13pmThose books kind of scare me - they seem to be coming from the fundamentalist far right. I'm just going on hearsay though.

Yes, Hilter works better. There's this explanation about how he performs miracles, so he's given great power over the Earth. He basically deceives everyone in the world into worshipping a demon.
Em (or anyone), I would recommend reading Matthew if you want an overview of Jesus's life, but if you're more interested in the theological aspects, I'd recommend John.

Oh, they're pretty scary...
I've got to go, but this was a great conversation. Thanks for chatting, everyone.

They *are* from fundamentalist right. I'm just curious to see. 
Grrrr. My wrist is acting up again and I still have to write a paper.
ETA -- bye, nia. And thanks, skittles. :)
What's the relationship (if any) between Satan and the Antichrist? Are they the same?

Ok. Changing the topic...sorry to disrupt the actual conversation, but I'm a bit weirded out.
My roommate was sleeping. Then she was on the phone and a friend (the one she had been on the phone with?) came over. She closed the door, and cried (like not breathing type of crying) for a good twenty minutes. Then it was silent. My roommate just came out, got something from her desk, and went back in. I presume her friend is....sleeping in her bed? I'm very confused.
I recognize the addiction to being alive.

Posted: 4/18/06 at 8:21pmYour roommate's friend is sleeping in her bed? I'm confused.
#1685Bagel bread is banally bizarre
Posted: 4/18/06 at 8:28pmMe too. I have no idea what's going on in there. But, you know how small the room is. What else can they be doing? Especially if it's totally silent.

This is a bit...bizarre, but I guess I should mention that most people tend to interpret Revelations metaphorically as opposed to literally.
Satan sends this beast to Earth and people on Earth are all intrigued by the beast and start to worship it, and he is given authority over the world. The antichrist goes around and is basically a prophet/sidekick for this beast. Kind of like...the beast is Sauron and the antichrist is Saruman, if you need an example for further clarity.

Posted: 4/18/06 at 8:36pmI hate to trivialize with fantasy comparisons, but that does make sense.
#1689Bagel bread is banally bizarre
Posted: 4/18/06 at 8:37pmThe Sauron and Saruman comparison is actually a good one, though.

I never got that there were two of them. My childhood church didn't go in for the apocalyptic much.
Or we could say Cheney/Bush - Cheney being the beast.

Mine didn't either, Chloe, but at one point, I was interested in reading about it. And don't think I didn't cheat and look it up in my Bible to see if I was explaining it right. 
Awww, puppy! I wanna puppy. Whose puppy is that?

I just wrote five pages of my 12-pager for psychology.
I'm now taking a break.
But I'm bored.
#1696Bagel bread is banally bizarre
Posted: 4/18/06 at 9:50pmCome kick my roommate and her friend. They need to be gone. 2 hours is faaaar too long.

I just got back from Evita... Eva (Susan Gilmour) was a replacement Fantine on Broadway! And Che (David Rogers) was phenomenal. Apparently he's REALLY big in Canada. I'd never heard of him, but they were selling his solo CD in the lobby. I'm going back later this week to buy one. SO. GOOD.
ETA: He was very good-looking, too:

hehe- You should start an "Allie reviews Evita" thread.
Then you could copy and paste someone else's review and claim it as your own. No one will eeeeeeeeeever notice.
And no one grew into anything new, we just became the worst of what we were."
