The New Testament simply adds more detail to prophecy and has it materializing. The Bible is not at odds with itself. The New Testament compliments the Old Testament and has what is prophicized come true. What most Christians are waiting for is Christ to come as promised in both the Old and New Testament.
Sorry to take so long to get back to you.
>>How could the Bible copy Zoroastrian lies if the Bible came first?<<
The bible certainly did not copy Zoroastrian lies. I had tried to tell broadsword that the Zoroastrian elements of the Pharisaic faith were abominations and were recognized as such by Talmudic Jews. The most I did say was that the Zoroastrians came the closest first to the notion of the afterlife being separated into Paradise and Hell.
>>Zoroastrian appeared AFTER the Bible. As you can see this doesn't make sense. It is Zoroastrian that imitated the Bible. <<
I am utterly unqualified to take a position on the relative timeline between the exilic Jews and Zarathustra.
>>Next, if you don't think the anti Christ is being described in say, Revelation, than what do you think is being described?<<
Which person in Revelations do you refer to? The beast was Neron Caesar. the Whore may represent Rome and Jerusalem, in varying senses. The Serpent is Satan himself. These are identifying them based on the historical sense to which the prophecies were applied. If one reads the prophecies in a predictive way, then the personages are yet unrevealed, although not fits the common depiction of the anti-Christ. Who is the dark prophet? My best guess would be Mohammed, although there was probably someone who was contemporary to John who the figure allusion was based on.
These are the four primary evil characters in Revelation. Pick which one you believe to be the anti-Christ, and I will define how they do not fit the popular notion of the anti-Christ. To some extent, they are all anti-Christs, but only to the extent that Abe Foxman, Bishop Spong, Fidel Castro, Mohammad Gandhi, Pontius Pilate, Caiaphas, Caesar Nero and the my former housemates are anti-Christs. My former housemates did not exactly have millions of devout Christians praying fervently to be delivered from them. IOW, they are technically fit the very loose definitions of the epistles of John, but they do not fit the popular supposedly Christian notion of the anti-Christ.
>>The Old Testament attests also to the anti Christ. You've probably heard of the Dead Sea Scrolls ... well they validate the Old Testament that we read today. The Bible is concistent. <<
I don't find anything in the Old Testament to suggest an anti-Christ figure at all.
>>Zoroastrian imitates the Bible and not the opposite. <<
Again, MY point, (and please don't confuse me with other posters) was to show that the Zoroastrian beliefs which have corrupted Christianity are NOT biblical.
