Go right ahead.  God has the rights to His book and interpretations thereof
and He has given humanity the okay to copy it and spread it abroad! ;-)

The thing that encourages me is that where sin abounds, grace
does much more abound.  Grace is always above the degree of
sinfulness.  Satan turns the heat up, and God turns the grace even
higher.  I fear no future hardships, for if I am depending upon the 
grace of God for today, and am victorious, when sin increases and
grace increases more in the future I will be victorious for the very
same reasons I am now.

BTW, if the Anti-Christ is indeed Anti"CHRIST", what will there be 
of Christ in this world if the Church is gone?????

And that is dangerous.  Case in point: Pretrib and posttrib were
both taught in China years ago.  The pretribbers felt Matt 24
dealt with the Jews and not christians, and the posttribbers
felt Matt 24 was for them.  So,  Mao Tse Tung came in 
with communism.  The pretribbers expected the rapture, so they
sat there waiting to be removed any second as the armies rolled
into their towns.  The posttribbers fled to the mountains due
to Matthew 24.  What happened?  The pretribbers were imprisoned and
slaughtered.  The posttribbers kept the church going!!

There is what has been called a North Americanization of the Gospel.
That is, North America thinks its church is the only church.  TODAY,
right now, there are foreign believers suffereing such agonizing deaths 
and persecution that would make us cringe.  "But we are not supposed
to go trhough tribulation," some will say.  Huh!
