One last thing, and I am certain that your knowledge of scripture far surpasses mine,

Oh please don't assume that! It's pretty shameful actually when I think of all the time I waste when I could/should be studying. I've just collected some good resources. I doubt we'd have the same sort of discussion if we were in the same room and you had to wait for my answer while I flipped through stuff. You'd probably be longing for a chess timer. :)

but I distinctly remember reading that the anti-Christ would "come from us"...that us being Christians.

I've read argument of all sorts of origins, and you're absolutely right - one of them holds that a verse in Revelation (I think) suggests that he will be a Gentile Christian, though probably just a nominal one. I certainly would NOT be surprised if he came out of liberal Christianity - scary things going on in a number of mainline churches today. And I agree - talk of religious war certainly feeds the fire. And thanks much for the kind words. God bless you and yours too.

1 John 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.
1 John 2:19
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
