KnightofChrist Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) Speaking of prophecy of the end times all together its sad many catholics dont really care for learning it. Often I believe, it is because protestants think so highly of it. So catholics rejection of end times seems to be more of a anti-protestant position than anything. We fail to know the most important things. Not when is Christ returning but how. Most Catholics can not correctly answer the following questions. When Christ does return how will you know its really Him and not Satan pretending to be Christ? Is the Book of the Apocalypse really prophetic for all times or just a symbolic book for the people of its time?

There are no peculiarly Catholic prophecies that I am required to believe, nor must I worry about any king but Christ. The antichrists may all go to hell. If God is with us, who can stand against?

KnightofChrist Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 But we are required to believe in Catholic prophecies of canonical Scripture, namely the book of the Apocalypse. As for private prophecies we can not quickly reject them, or speak disrespectful of the prophecy or of the prophet when they are trustworthy, namely Saints canonized by Holy Mother Church. If we believe we have nothing to worry about when it comes to the Anti-Christ we are sadly mistaken.

If people read their whole bibles with the true Catholic understanding, they could not and would not be seduced by Satan, and other false prophets.

Winchester Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 God knows what is in our hearts. Merely being fooled is not enough to beaver dam you. I think He's got a lock on human frailty. Intent plays a role in sin that even the actor sometimes cannot fathom. Revelation has happened is happening and will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could someone be seduced by the Anti-Christ, thinking the he was Christ and still not be damned? If that is what is being said, that is highly doubtful.

picchick Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 People can be seduced into doing something. If someone is ignorant and they do not know any better would you condemn them to hell? Seriously...you cannot blame people if they do not know any better. I have no problem with end times and reading it if it comes from someone with authority. It is an interesting subject. But, if I had a choice, I wouldn't study it. I am not concerned with it. You will say I should be, but if I live my life the way I live it, why should I worry?
