Is Obama the Antichrist?

I have been a Christian most of my life ,and through reading God's word (the Bible ) and from hearing sermons taught on this very topic I would urge those who have posted comments here to open your Bibles and read the facts for yourself.
The Bible is not open to interpretation but is meant to be God's literal words.In the book of Revelations which talks about the end times ,the return of Christ, and the rise of the Antichrist,the scriptures clearly state the Antichrist will be a man who will rise from a European Nation.This is evident today in the vast increase in the Euro .
The Bible states that many nations will be under one currency in the European union.This has happened already.
By the way the Bible was written centuries ago , before the Euro was brought into currency.
When the Antichrist is in power (for a short time) the world will be under one currency ,one religion,and one leader.
Signs today point us in that direction as we struggle with a poor economy,poor leadership amongst nations,and a strong increase amongst religions particularily the Muslim religion which opposes Christianity to the point of stating that Muslim are to kill those who do not follow thier faith..It's in the Koran.
The Bible is clear that there is only one God and that is God the Father in Heaven.There is only one son Christ Jesus who God sent to this earth to die on the cross for the sins of the world.
The Bible makes it clear that no one will enter God's kingdom of Heaven without repentence of their sin and acceptance of Jesus into thier hearts to be thier personal savior and enter into a relationship with Him.
The gift of salvation from Jesus is free if we are willing to accept it.But the consequences are an eternity without Him.
Do you know Jesus ? The signs of the end times are all around us , and now is the time to trust In Jesus.

NO WHERE , NO WHERE in the Christian Bible is there a description of the ant-christ as stated here. NO WHERE!!!

The Muslim religion did not come into being until 700 a.d. That means it could not have been part of teh writings of the Bible..research people!!!

666.....that is what the full name of Nero equals. Back then numerology was really really big...Nero was crazy and considered evil and feared. His "666" was associated with "evil"...and people picked it up....reserach people!!!

Believe the Bible, Koran or any other writings that soothe your being. But ask quesitons folks.
r the Koran, or what ever,...but research, who, what, when, where. Don't be sheep. Being sheep is why we are a nation of whiners.

There is no description of the "anti-christ" as you people write.

I don't like Obama and what he and Washington are up to. However, we got ourselves here, and we are the only ones that can get ourselves out.

Dec 2012 might be an interesting time... I personally will look to it as a time of change for the better...

REMEMBER, DON'T BE SHEEP., and quit whining.

Well, the Mayan calendar culminates at a finite point in time which corresponds to December 21, 2012 in the (our) Gregorian calendar - regardless of who is President or religious, this is going to be an interesting day...nobody knows its significance, but it will likely be a turning point of some kind, for better or for worse.

Wow, if anything's a sign that Obama's the Antichrist, it's definitely the winning lotto numbers. I have to say, as a confessional Christian (Lutheran), I'm embarrassed for my kind. All of this is ridiculous. I cringe to think how many people who are associated with me by a declaration of faith believe this nonsense. Obama is a good man, and was easily our better choice in the election. I hope and pray that he can get us out of this mess that we are in.

And to those who have posted their agreement with this crazy idea, if you are Lutheran in your belief (Wisconsin Synod, Missouri Synod, etc...), you deserve to know your church's official teaching on the matter of the Antichrist, and that is that the Antichrist is the office of the papacy. Not the Pope himself, but his office, his officially held position. Read your Bibles. It is the most fitting to the descriptions. Ask your pastor.

And to those who call Christians "stupid" and "self-righteous," I'm sorry you view us that way. Unfortunately, a lot of "my people" (and I find myself using that phrase with disgust far too often) behave in a way that would make one believe we are all like that. I assure you, we are not. I am not here to force my beliefs on you. If we are out having a beer, I may ask you what you believe, and why you believe it, and have a discussion about it with you, in the hopes that the Holy Spirit may work through me to open your heart, but if we don't, I'll still enjoy the beer and the company (unless you suck). I don't think I'm better than you. I just think you have been misled.

I wish I had a dime everytime someone misquoted the Bible when articles like this come out. Perhaps you should read something before you try and quote it. (this includes the authors) Before you try and quote something, perhaps you should try and educate yourself about it first. Google doesn't count as research or education. The truth is folks that you can't give someone Christianity. They have to want it. Why waste your time and energy. Save your time and energy for those that are really searching. Not for those that simply want to argue. When they're tired of trying it their way and find themselves on the floor then perhaps they'll try it God's Way. Until them "don't throw pearls to the swine." "They'll only trample on them and you." Translation: Don't try and force something on someone they don't want.

I really hate to see adults behaving like 3rd graders, but that's what this all sounds like...it all reminds me a little bit of my son and his friends a few years ago when he was younger arguing about which Pokemon had the most powers. Obama is the antichrist, FDR was the antichrist, Reagan was the antichrist, Clinton was the antichrist...."Seek and ye shall find", the bible says. So all you end-times believers are busy keeping an eye out for Doomsday, ready to be taken up "in the twinkling of an eye", manufacturing superstitious connections between things that are wholly unrelated and secretly harboring a sense of vindication that when Jesus comes back, pissed-off and riding his white pony across the sky, you'll have an Access All Areas pass to his VIP Lounge while the rest of us have to stand in line to get into Hell. Sounds disrespectful of me, doesn't it? Sounds like I'm belittling the biblical myth. Well, it is and I am. As the son of a Southern Baptist preacher who grew up believing in hellfire and damnation, Revelations and rapture, I can tell you with confidence that the whole thing is indeed a myth, not at all unlike religious myths that have existed throughout the ages in other cultures, and that to persist in believing in this nonsense and, God forbid (no pun intended!), to continue passing it on to younger generations as 'the truth' constitutes nothing more than negligence and brainwashing. Judaism, Christianity, Islam...they're all rooted in the same regional religious tradition that emerged from the Middle East over the last 6,000 or so years, and they're all three completely useless and irrelevant today. While many of their teachings and scriptures contain seeds of wisdom whose sentiments should be applauded, as systems for creating a social fabric of harmony and equality, they've all failed miserably and continue to do so today.
Looking to the skies for the answers to our problems is no different than beating on a log howling at the moon as our ancestors did hundreds of thousands of years ago. In the 21st century, it's time for us to start owning up to the fact that by wonderful chance we're here now, that no 'super-hero' is going to come to our rescue, and that instead of "putting it all in God's hands" (in other words, shirking our responsibility for virtually everything), we would do well to accept the fact that we're on our own and that if anything's going to get taken care of here, we're going to have to do it ourselves. We don't need death-cults like the 'Big 3' religions to guide our lives. We need good ole' human common sense...the same common sense you might apply when buying a used car from a guy in a poor-fitting polyester suit. In other words, if someone tries to sell you on the notion that if you do what they want now, you will live forever in a sort of white and gold-trimmed vacation resort, take a look at the fine print and you'll begin to find the inconsistencies!

If you have not witnessed any persecution of Christians then what do you think this article is about? In the majority of the countries in the Mid-East one can be persecuted or have some form of fatal punishment for converting to Christianity. You see it on TV day in and day out. In movies, Christians are thought of as stupid, fanatical, "fundamentalist", and closed minded. Why are Christians targeted more than any other form or "religion"? I don't know doesn't make sense to me. It's almost like people are afraid to hear the truth. I would think something like Mormonism, or even Scientology LOL, would be the object of ridicule rather than Christianity which has far more scientific and historical proof than these other religions.
