I still don't quite understand your beliefs. Can you help me with a few things? Do you believe there will be a literal 7-year period on earth which is called the Tribulation? If so, do you think Christians will be on earth during that time? Do you think if they are here, will they be forced to deny Jesus as the ONLY way to heaven or they will be put in prison or worse? If you believe in this Tribulation, do you think it will be within the next 25 years? Do you believe there will be an actual person called the anti-christ who will at some point claim to be God before the peoples of the earth? Do you believe there will be a real person called the false prophet, and if so, who is your best guess it will be -- a pope or some other? Do you believe that the ONLY people who will eventually spend an eternity in Heaven are those who have confessed at least in their own mind that they are sinners, that Jesus Christ came to earth in human form and died on a cross a physical death to take the sins of all people who accept his free gift, and that they must ask Him to forgive them and save them and acknowledge that He is their savior and their Lord and God? Please answer in clear form and not "I don't know" or "I don't speculate." Just your best guesses at least. These are simple questions that have simple answers. Thanks. I remain, SOROS

Once again you are wrong. This is an epistle written to: the ecclesia at Thessalonia warning them about a future event. God had already blinded the jews when Paul wrote that. Strong delusion was to be sent to the world at a point in the future, so that, if it were possible, even the elect would be deceived. Here's a little tip for you Emile. The golden rule of scripture interpretation: "It shall greatly helpe ye to understand Scripture, if thou mark not only what is spoken or wrytten, but of whom, and to whom, with what words, at what time, where, to what intent, with what circumstances, considering what goeth before and what followeth after."
