Seldom Do We Embrace A New Idea, Especially One Of A Religious Nature.

Seldom do we embrace a new idea, especially one of a religious nature.

I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

--Gen. 9:13

No Old Testament passage indicates that Messiah will come twice.

"According to Photius [a 9th century Byzantine Patriarch], Clement of Alexandria held at least a quasi-docetic belief regarding the nature of Christ, namely that the Word/Logos did not became flesh, but only ‘appeared to be in flesh,’ an interpretation which directly denied the reality of the incarnation."

--(Clement of Alexandria on Trial: The Evidence of "Heresy" from Photius' Bibliotheca. Ashwin-Siejkowski 95).

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. … And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He [Christ] who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one [the Antichrist] will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders."

--2 Thess. 2:1-9, New King James
