Exactly.
Clickbait.
Do you actually think that the head of NASA is in the context of II Thes. 2? The Thessalonians would really have profited from knowing that 2000+ years ago, wouldn’t they?
in v6 of your text, Paul says that the man of sin was sitting (present tense) in the temple of God while he wrote those words! Not in the Vatican, not in UN headquarters. Where was the temple of God when Paul wrote those words? In Jerusalem, correct, evidently a Jewish personage.
In v8 of your text, Paul says that this individual would be slain when Jesus came. Do you think this individual is still alive? Perhaps the director of NASA no longer sitting in the Jewish temple?
Or, did himself say, in Mt. 16.27-28:
“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then shall he render unto every man according to his deeds. Verily I say unto you, there are some of them that stand here, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.”
I believe that Jesus told the truth that he was coming and judging while some of his disciples were still alive—in the first century. Do you believe what he said, or was he mistaken like modernist theologians say?
In the passage you quote in II Thes. 2, Paul believed in an imminent coming and judgment on Israel. He said that he would slay the man of sin, who was then sitting in God’s temple when he returned and destroyed the temple, which he said in Mt. 24.1-3, 29, and 34 would occur in his generation.
With all respect to you, what nonsense to sprinkle II Thes. 2 down in a headline about the NASA director!
That’s interesting.
I think I saved a link to that article, but I have such a forest of links now, finding a particular one has become difficult.
LOL. I try to compartmentalize, but I know what you mean.
smiles ... if allowed will meet you at the door ... my promise.
Bad headline. He didn’t say that. He was just speculating.
But I’m not celestial or even cosmotic...
Or is that cosmostic?
never look to a tree ... Look to our Savior, Please ....
If life on another planet was ever discovered, it would not lesson my Christian faith not even a bit. God didn't just create the planet Earth. He create EVERYTHING. The Bible is God's Manual for us. I certainly wouldn't buy a Ford car and expect the manual to tell me how to find the fuse box on a Toyota.
How does this help Muslims feel good about themselves???
Thanks. “I want the USA back” mention the same thing.
I agree that it was a bad headline.
I should have read deeper.
Isn’t it amazing some of these headlines. They’re just lies.
I swear while out hunting ... many wander from the side and site and lose their way instead ... may we build the fires on the highest peaks and pray they see the ‘light’
= :^)
Actually the headline is a lie, and the head of NASA has no clue if he is right or wrong. Instead just spouting his beliefs.
Their Mahdi is a good Alien candidate if I have ever heard of one. Perhaps this has been the plan all along...
(;^/ ... yes, the ‘stream’ sent by the ‘nightmare’. May it not be so! May the ‘thousand men’ know of the place, Lord.
Say what?
= :^)
