Rick Warren: "Join me today in fasting and prayer for the 115 Cardinals..."

[TylerR]

I don’t think the evidence from Daniel 7 supports the Pope = antichrist view.

There is a fascinating book by Joel Richardson that hypothesizes that the Antichrist will actually be the same person as the Islamic Mahdi. It is a compelling argument; it looks like there is actually a second volume on the similar lines out as well.

"Our task today is to tell people — who no longer know what sin is...no longer see themselves as sinners, and no longer have room for these categories — that Christ died for sins of which they do not think they’re guilty." - David Wells

After all, he’s on record that, because of the size of his ministry, he has few guys “in his tribe” from which he can learn. Why not learn from the original mega-/multisite church?

(Note: I am not advancing a serious argument here.)
