Interview: 'God's Smuggler' on Megachurches, Persecuted Christians, and Friendship With Taliban and Hamas Leaders
Brother Andrew has a natural kindness to him that makes those around him – even people meeting him for the first time – feel at ease and as if they've known him for years. Perhaps this gift is part of the reason why the Open Doors founder has been so successful in befriending Hamas, Taliban, and other Muslim extremist leaders, while openly sharing his Christian faith with them. Open Doors is an international ministry that assists persecuted Christians around the world.
The Christian Post recently sat down with Brother Andrew to look back at the beginning of his ministry as a Bible smuggler behind the Iron Curtain, to get his take on how American megachurch pastors are doing on advocating for persecuted Christians, to hear about his friendship with the "Father of the Taliban," and to see if this 84-year-old man has plans to slow down....

As a warning to others who may be tempted by your false show of humility and love not to be taken in. You are nothing but a wolf in sheeps clothing!
You really should fear the Lord, because that is the start of all wisdom!
SteveR wrote: OK I guess its time to call it quits on this thread. I'll check back in a few days and see how everyone is doing.
Why not spend that time studying the many things you have been taught already? If you demonstrate that integrity and post your results, then I will be very happy to discuss with you the prophecies concerning the antichrist.

Enough of your disreputable and dishonest games. Should I look to you instead?
SteveR wrote: Are you really going to allow them to provoke your flesh? Sure looks like a test to me
Robbie Rensenbrink wrote: If you thinks so. I was thinking more about "Don't waste your time" and pearls before swine. You have not responded substantively to anything that has been put to you so far, and you will not respond substantively to these references. You evidently know which commentaries to use, go use them.

Robbie Rensenbrink wrote: Happy to, you will find them from Genesis 1 all the way through to Revelation 22. (That is your debating technique, returned back to you with interest. No apocrypha required, should not take you long.)
Not really
It shows you dont know and you raised the white flag
SteveR wrote: Rather than fall back on some 'sober' commentaries, please share with me the Scriptures that 'clearly' reveal the seat of the antichrist is in Rome.

However, as noted below you are indeed all over the place. Modern study bibles are the very ones likely to be filled with your microchip nonsense. The sober and perceptive commentators were unanimous in the identification of the papacy as the antichrist and they proved it from Scripture and history.

Once again, you cannot have it both ways.
You evidently have no intention of responding to any of your gross inconsistencies already pointed out to you by several correspondents. May the Lord open your eyes.
