What were you before you became Messianic? If I can ask.This was my position long before my beliefs changed towards being Messianic, and it hasn't changed since then. I'm sure other Messianics will have other views.
Thanks for the recommendation! I know Revelation is highly symbolic, and, some Christian sects believe in the coming of a literal man as an anti-Christ, and some don't. AFAIK, my tradition doesn't.Perhaps the book Revelation: Four Views, will help you in this, Miss Lion. It covers verse by verse in Revelation why people of four differing generic interpretations of what the book of Revelation is about, take the stance that they do. The literal Left-Behind-ish, antichrist-is-an-actual-person-who-takes-over-the-world view, is but one of them, and there are just as many flaws with that view as there are with the other three covered in this book that I recommend.

Oh! I see.I would have called myself a non-denominational Protestant.

"Always be Batman," you say.
That guy could've used his vast fortune to hire the best therapists in the world. Instead, he took his unresolved childhood trauma out on thugs in the streets. That's a very poor coping method and mismanagement of resources, if you ask me!
Saying stuff like this makes me feel even more awkward logging back in lolMass separation anxiety disorder? You're quite the popular person here, @Somber !
Oh my goodness, I remember that episode!! Hahaha!Weenie Hut?! Are you implying that I'm a weenie--
...Just reread that.
Thank you kindly!Somber! Welcome back. You have been missed.
I'm also afraid of dying. I am not sure where I am going to go after I die.
Let us know if you need any backup over there!!!When you don't have enemies-- you just have one enemy-- and they show up unexpectedly

used to have these fears often, afraid of what I didn't know, afraid of the unknown, feelings of inadequacy or self-condemnation. For such small creatures we really do try to carry so much on our shoulders, perhaps much more than we were ever meant to.
