Yes the anti Christ could take over without God. Mankind is remedial stupid, all of us.
Don't beat up on the Bible. He wrote it that way on purpose, so that it can't be understood (without revelation from the Holy Spirit) so the enemy can't figure out his plans.
Try this brother, try praising God instead of complaining about Him. Things could be worse you know.
So you were born into a war, behind enemy lines, with nothing but a manual and a radio (Bible and prayer)...(yes God has a sense of humor)
Can you complete your mission? Do you even know your mission? It's in the Bible, God's will...?
Whenever I'm at a bad point in life, faith waning...I wind up thinking, if Jesus would just manifest in front of me, answer couple questions, give me instruction...then I'd be good. I could be a super Christian!
But then I think, what if He told me to take my present position in life and keep on with the mental exercise...? Just like it is now.
Could I be a super Christian then? (Well yeah, Jesus told me Himself!)
So why do I need the visitation and personal instruction? I have the book.
Eh?
