You make a lot of mistakes, but I must say that you would make an excellent anti-Christ. You know what it is about, don’t you?

“You make a lot of mistakes, but I must say that you would make an excellent anti-Christ.”

I actually make very few mistakes about important matters, and yes, I would, if I renounced the Trinity and sided with Satan make an excellent anti-Christ. So would anyone. But I don’t serve him. You do - with your false witness. I love God, not any fallen angel. As I posted yesterday:

Although I would never boast of a conversion as dramatic and instantaneous as that of Alphonse Ratisbonne, I agree wholeheartedly with how he summed up the moment of his conversion:

“I came forth from a tomb, from an abyss of darkness ; and I was living, perfectly, energetically living. . . . and yet I shed tears. I saw before me the fearful miseries from which I had been rescued by the mercy of God ; I shuddered at the sight of my innumerable sins, and I was stupefied, melted, almost crushed by a sense of wonder and of gratitude. ... I thought of my brother with a joy beyond words ; but tears of compassion were mingled with my tears of love. Alas, that so many should go quietly down into this yawning abyss with their eyes closed by pride or
by indifference . . . should go down and be swallowed up of this horrible darkness... and then, my family, my betrothed, my poor sisters ! O torturing anxiety! My thoughts were of you, O ye beloved ones, — my first
prayers were for you ! . . . And are you never to raise your eyes towards the Saviour of the world, whose blood hath blotted out original sin ? O, how foul is the blot of that stain ! how completely it obliterates every trace by
which we might recognise the creature that was made in the image of God !”

“You know what it is about, don’t you?”

The anti-Christ is a person not an “it”. When your English skills match your hubris come back and talk to me.
