Steve--Jesus gives us three things that destroy the seed within us. 1. Cares of this world. 2. deceitfulness of riches. 3. lust of other things
In James, the Spirit says its-- 1. lust o the flesh 2. lust of the eyes 3. pride of life.
Credit cards certainly help fan these lust within mankind, I believe that this is only one aspect.
To be antichirst, you have to be able to deny Christ. cards and system alone cannot deny Christ. It is the antichrist people behind the systems that do the denying. How do these precious human beings swallow this seed of deception that enables them to deny Christ. The major way that Satan used today is by planting the antichrist seed when these precious people are children. That is the great evil of the Moslem religion and Talmudic Judaism. They take these precious Moslem and Jewish chilren and plant this seed within them when they are tender children. When they grow old, this evil seed is disguised as part of the warmth and fond memeory of tradition. My wife first explained this to me about herself. Now I observed this evil seed at work in my morhter-in -law.
When people have this seed of antichrist withing them, it manifest itself in many ways. When they make a movie, they give it an antichrist slant. When they write a book, they give it an antichrist slant. When they report the news , the seed in them gives it an antichrist slant. When they tech history, they give it an antichrist slant. etc. etc. etc.
The only way to eliminate this evil seed is to replace it with the seed of the Gospel--Jesus Christ crucified fo their sins. Only the blood of Christ is strong enough to conqueor this seed of satan.
All glory and honor and power to the Lamb of God and to His eternal Father, together with the Holy spirit.
