2 Thes 2:7-12 ‘For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way… The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.’
The Bible speaks of this scary time coming when God Himself will send a powerful delusion upon the inhabitants of earth because they ‘refused to love the truth’! So not only will the restraining work of the Holy Spirit be removed, but God will send a sign so great that they will believe the lies of the Antichrist.
The Spirit of the Lord will not strive against a stubborn proud humanity forever and His judgement will come.
15“Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are savage wolves. 16You will know them by their fruit. Grapes aren't gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles, are they? 17In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a rotten tree produces bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a rotten tree cannot produce good fruit. 19Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into a fire. 20So by their fruit you will know them.”
T]here is a clear requirement for one to qualify as a Christian and Obama doesn't meet that requirement," stated Thomas. "One cannot deny central tenets of the Christian faith, including the deity and uniqueness of Christ as the sole mediator between God and Man and be a Christian. Such people do have a label applied to them in scripture. They are called 'false prophets.'"

I believe he is. There are many that believe that he is the third Anti-Christ too! Without going too deep into theology, there is a simple belief, especially among the Catholic faith; Abortion is murder. Osama, I mean Obama is pro-choice. He believes in murdering innocent babies. I'll paraphrase a sermon from Father Corapi's youtoube video. "If we took all the women over the age of 60 and ripped there heads off, it would be homicide, no....genocide. There have been over 48 million abortions in the US. Genocide."
All the Hispanic people he is courting, whom over 90% are Catholic, will be going against their religion if they vote for Obama! ANY Catholic that votes for him is committing a sin! The only way it is "ok" for them to vote for a candidate that is pro-choice is if both the candidates are pro-choice! Anyone who is a true Christian will not vote for Obama!
Below is the link to Father Corapi's sermon. It is lengthy, but very informative!

How is portraying himself to be a false version of Christ? The Bible
says that this antichrist will do miracles like call fire down from heaven.
The only miracle that I know that he has done was that he has raised
more money than the Republicans!
He is not a false prophet because he has not been prophesying from the bible....He is a politician,,The true anti-christ will mix religion and politics in that he will rule over countries, he will implement a economic system which will be done through a number in the hand or forehead, and yet religiously many will worship him which will be aided by what the bible calls a "False Prophet" which will perform miracles
and wonders compelling many to worship after the anti christ. Obama cannot possibly be hame because if you understood biblical prophecy you would know that this man will arise out of the revived Roman Empire as detailed in Daniel's vision.
I love the answer Hmmm..gave. What would make you think he's a false prophet? He hasn't preached about anything religious. Palin has much more radical religious views, and she would be more likely to force them on others than Obama. It's like there is mass hysteria among certain Republicans in this country. Chill out. If you are talking about his being pro choice, what Democrat isn't? How does his stance single him out as being worse than any other people with the same views? He has never claimed to perform any miracles, signs or wonders, so you can't claim that as a reason . He has charisma and people like him. People went crazy over Elvis, the Beatles, Marilyn Monroe, and another president, John Kennedy. People liking him doesn't make him a false prophet. I don't understand why people are so afraid of Obama.
He is NO prophet!
1Jn 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1Jn 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1Jn 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Thessalonians 2:7-12
<< 1 Thessalonians 1 | 1 Thessalonians 2 | 1 Thessalonians 3 >>
7 But we were gentle [1] among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children. 8 So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.
9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil: we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God. 10 You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers. 11 For you know how, like a father with his children, 12 we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

Why are people who declare to be Christians, spreading lies approximately Obama? i'm apprehensive on the topic of the psychological state of the rustic. i've got asked Obama warring parties approximately his schedule and grew to become into instructed he would not have one - properly - he does, one has to pay interest with a view to get the surprising counsel. it may be relaxing for you and a few on the different component, to smear applicants in this talk board, you do no longer do your u . s . a . a want! the thought ill reported voters would be certain the way forward for our u . s . a . is revolting.
Obama does not claim to be a prophet at all. Merely the best guy for the job at hand, which - last time I checked - was for a president not a pope.
No I do not. I do think his good intentions are based on false assumptions about the Constitution of the United States which is the highest law of the land.
So dude, I'll choose my leaders based on my perception of their ability to lead to the issues of the day, not based on mythology. If you choose to apply 2000 year old literature as a selection criterion you are free to do so, but I'll consider you part of the problem.
Obama is a Politician. He never claimed that he was a prophet only claimed to be a Politician So he cant even be considered a false prophet!
