I voted above average. Two suggestions for hitting "excellent."One, if you're going to have a confession of faith or doctrinal standards for the site, then those ought to be enforced. Or else what's the use. 'Nuff said about that. Two, the Comments sections have degenerated into the theological gutters of the internet. (Seriously, people laugh about 'em.) They are quite often contentious for the sake of contentiousness it seems. They have ceased to perform any helpful function. Either eliminate them altogether (best option) or get some moderators you trust to police them, diligently. |

Nate, good question, but my speculation is that he may be playing upon the technical meaning of the Greek prefix "anti." We've generally lost touch with the fact that it really has a dual meaning. On the one hand, it commonly means "against." But it can also mean that which fulfills or replaces something that came previously. For instance, Biblical "types" are replaced by their fulfillments or "antitypes." So a full-orbed Antichrist would be one who not only is against Christ, but also claims to replace Him, or stand in His stead.By the way, this is why Protestants have historically been so enflamed by the Popish title, "Vicar of Christ," which is a claim to stand in the place of, or instead of, Christ. |
