    The anti-christ has already returned to earth, he's locked up in a mental institution.

    (since it mimicks a lamb but speaks like a dragon),
    We know it now, the Beast must live in Indonesia!



    It could be Cute Wolf (as he's Roman Catholic!)...he might just be the "wolf in sheepsclothing" you've been looking for!

    Its well know that the beast lives on Craggy Island

    It has claws as big as cups (Dougal)
    It has four ears, two for listening and two "are sort of back-up ears". Some might be on the inside of its head (Dougal)
    It has a retractable leg so it "can leap up at you better" (Dougal)
    It has magnets on its tail, so "if you're made out of metal, it can attach itself to you" (Dougal)
    It lights up at night (Dougal)
    It has a tremendous fear of stamps (Dougal)
    Its yawn sounds like Liam Neeson chasing a load of hens around inside a barrel (Dougal)
    It has no mouth, but instead has four arses (Dougal)
    It only has eyebrows on Saturdays (Dougal)
    It lives "on the place where there should be moors" (Mrs. Doyle)
    The locals think it is some sort of giant fox (Mrs. Doyle)
    It makes a "terrible howling noise" (Mrs. Doyle)
    It is the size of a jaguar (Hud)
    It has got big white teeth, as sharp as knives (Hud)

    They slew him with poison afaid to meet him with the steel
    a gallant son of eireann was Owen Roe o'Neill.

    I think the moral of this story is that we all would have been a great deal better off if the Revelation of John had been classified as Apocrypha. And if someone had smothered Nostradamus in the crib, while we're at it.

    Quite. Luthor was inclined to agree, and so am I. Given that the Revelation is anti-Calvinistic I can only imagine that Calvin kept it in to scare people. It's worth noting that Revelation doesn't say any of the things it's commonly thought to say, the number of the Beast is not even certain, it could be 616!

    No reply regarding what we were actually talking about? Nice diversion, but that's another thread for another time. Note that the OP was specifically adressed to Catholics and those for whom the scripture is of some significance.

    Fear the Lord? Now you mention it, I have no idea lol. I might make a video for my family so they know what to do if they miss the rapture.

    I'm familiar with Luthers changing views on the scripture, but what maketh ye say that Revelation is anti-Calvinistic? Also, I know your position on the scripture, but if you try to look at it from the perspective of someone who believed it was all inspired (without necessarily being a literalist), how would you interpret it? I still think the historicist position is a perfectly reasonable one to take, despite the outrage it draws due to how perceptions of the RCC have change since the idea was first formulated during the Reformation.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    Well, the Revelation says that people will be judged according to their deeds; it also says people can be removed from the Book of Life.

    To be honest, I think John had too much Hash that night. Even if an Angel was talking to him clearly not all of it came through without some static.

    Also, the whole "Seven Hills" thing doesn't stand up too well when you consider the extreme, even by Biblical standards, the prophecy has for the number.

    Hmm the cowboy scan his reply and see's he did highlight the words Argued, Belief and Interpertation in your post seems they would be pertinent to the discussion. Oh I am aware it's about catholics and thats why I was mildly amused earlier on in the thread posting jokes but I have become more and more concerned you believe it this silly fiction would also endanger my own life if your idea is allowed to flourish unchecked.
