I’m not afraid, I didn’t intend to insinuate that. I was just diagnosed with a potentially deadly disease in Sept., one that doesn’t give you much if any warning, so my view point is just in a different place.
However, that still doesn’t change the fact that that Scripture is very clear, Jesus does not return until the son of perdition is revealed. It is also clear when it says let no man fool you. Twisting Scripture too fit a doctrine of man is just that, twisting Scripture. I don’t know how you can twist something so obvious, but it’s very plain to me.
This is not that important a subject except for maybe realizing scripture NEVER exhorts you to look for this son of perdition but REPEATEDLY tells you to look to Jesus. I’m not sure why you want to make such a big deal about it, but you seem only willing to cite 2 Thess 1-4. When I cite the rest of that portion of scripture, v. 5-8, putting all of 2 Thess 1-8 in context, you call it “twisting scripture” and “doctrine of man”. Curious.
Anyway I’m sorry to hear of your condition. If you believe Jesus is still in the business of healing (he is: he’s the same yesterday, today, and forever) then I pray for you to be healed.
God bless.
