The Myth of the Antichrist
As I touched on in my last installment, the word “antichrist” never appears in the book of Revelation. Yep, it’s a doctrine to many folks but like most of the B.S. propagated by C.I. Scofield, it cannot be found in the actual text of the Bible. The Antichrist, of popular culture, is a composite of…

This year it was two o’clock. This is the earliest that I can recall being dismissed. Of course the drive home was a cakewalk. I…
