Obama is the Antichrist

Thank you for the challenge. I will be organizing my arguments by using groups of arguments. Each of which will be a new reason to reject the resolution. =========================================================== ARGUMENT ONE - The direct interpretation of the Bible is inaccurate. Accepting the premise of this argument means that it is illogical to use the Bible as a source for predicting the future therefore countering the resolution. (If you do not accept this argument, then the remainder of my arguments should still sufficiently reject the resolution.) A. "Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. (James 5:14-15)." ---Prayer does not cause disease and the only study done on the matter actually shows that prayer decreases the likelihood for medical success (If you want the study I will find it). B. "Diseases are not caused by demons, unless medicine is exorcism. -A mute could talk after having the demon driven out (Matthew 9:32) -A "demon-possessed" man who was blind and mute is cured by Jesus (Matthew 12:22) -A demon caused seizures (epilepsy) in a boy (Matthew 17:14-18) -A group of spirits caused a man to be insane (Mark 5:1-13) -A spirit crippled a woman (Luke 13:11)." ---This contradicts current evidence that physical microorganisms cause disease… not demons. C. "And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies. (2 Samuel 7:10-11)" ---This is completely a false assessment since the Israelites lost their land several times and are constantly under fire from people committing evil deeds.

Therefore, who is to even know if an antichrist will ever exist? =========================================================== ARGUMENT TWO - If the accuracy of the Bible is legitimized by the judges, then it is unlikely that Obama is the figure known as the antichrist. A. "We are told quite a bit about this coming world leader, Satan's counterfeit messiah, who will someday soon rise in power... -He will rise to power first over 3 and then 10 nations -He will bring 'peace', yet conquer through treaties and war -He will be very, very popular around the world -He will not regard "the desire of women" -He will likely be charismatic and physically attractive ... like King Saul -He will receive what appears to be a fatal wound to the head -He will appear to be resurrected from the dead -His right eye may be blinded and his arm completely withered -He will enforce a "peace" plan or resolution (covenant) upon nation Israel -He may help to get the new Jewish Temple built in Jerusalem -He will appear to perform miracles ("lying signs and wonders") -He will require that everybody on Earth receive a mark or identification on their forehead or hand and nobody will legally be able to buy or sell without it -He will stand in a new Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and declare he is "God" -Unspeakable terror and war will then engulf Earth for exactly 3ï¿½ years (1260 days) -He will direct the slaughter of millions of Christians and Jews who come to know the Lord -He will lead the armies of the world into Israel . . . Armageddon." ---Some of these can be done in the future, but some of them are straight up ridiculous. Does Obama have SOME relations to the biblical prediction? Sure… but he does not have all of them, nor does he even have a majority of them. [SOURCE] http://www.theprophecies.com... B. The Bible also talks about how the antichrist will lead an group of horsemen. Obama has yet to lead an army of horses and this is simply unrealistic in this era. =========================================================== ARGUMENT THREE - It is more likely that Prince Charles is the Antichrist. A. "When the Book of Revelation told us to, "Calculate the number of the Beast, for the number is that of a man and his number is 666", it literally gave us his name. Onomastics is the study of names. Any onomastics book will show that Charles means "man". It means "man" or "manly". The words "Charles" and "man" can be used interchangeably in that verse without affecting the meaning at all. That verse literally reads, "...for the number is that of a Charles..."" B. "That verse also says, "And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great authority." The dragon is "symbolic" to others, but not to Prince Charles. He has a red dragon on his coat of arms. It comes from the flag of Wales, and it is in his title, Prince of Wales, that Charles is heir-apparent to the throne of Great Britain." C. "The Bible refers to the Antichrist as a "despicable person" who has not yet received a kingship. Prince Charles is not well respected by his own people (even more so after the Diana 'car crash'). He has been through many messy public scandals, and there have been rumours of homosexuality, adultery (proven), occult practices and spiritual worship-and he has not yet received his kingship!" D. "Riddle of the Seven Kings, (the 3rd riddle): In the Book of Revelation, Chapter 17, Verses 10-11, it says, "There are seven kings. Five were, one is and one is to be. The Beast is the eighth and of the seven." There were seven emperors of the Holy Roman Empire named Charles, (check the World Book Encyclopaedia). Prince Charles' lineage chart shows that he is descended, through his father, from the fifth emperor of the Holy Roman Empire named Charles, of the House of Hapsburg. Prince Charles is the eighth and, (by his lineage), he is also of the seventh." E. "Prince Charles' coat of arms and crest was designed for him by the British College of Heraldry, using a system of guidelines over 500 years old. It contains all the Biblical symbols of the Antichrist. It has a dog supported by a roaring lion and a unicorn, (called a wild beast with a straight horn, or a wild oxen). Psalms 22:19-21 describes these animals, with a prayer for deliverance. The composite beast of Revelation 13:2, with the head of a lion, body of a leopard and feet of a bear is symbolic for other people--but not for Prince Charles. It is on his Coat of Arms. It represents the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire. These are the animal symbols for France, the leopard; Germany, the Bear; and England, the lion. These nations represented the western arm of the Holy Roman Empire." F. Note that none of these apply to Barak Obama.

Why, however, were 666 and 7779 placed in Pick 1 and Pick 2 (rather than 3 and 4)? 2) Is something that should be waived as a coincidence be seen as a warning? If God wanted to warn us, don't you think it would be done in a more noticeable way? If God did not want to warn us, then this is simply a coincidence. 3) A decade from now, I assure you that we won't be looking back at this regretting that we didn't see the Illinois lottery as key to preventing mass chaos in our world. 4) Prince Charles is linked to 666 in a more legitimate way. ---The rest of his arguments are a bunch of conspiracy theories.
