I didn't have time to read Left Behind series but I am still curious about the teachings of "Carpathianism". Does it have fallacies like salvation by good works, or is it more in line with "faith alone" except that Jesus is substituted by Carpathia? Does it teach any humanism, or is it more of a dictatorship? Please summarize the tenets for me if it has any. Also I would love if you dirrect me to particular book and particular chapter where I can read on it.

I know but I am slow reader and right now with my research load for my ph.d. it is jsut unrealistic.

But still I have a concept of what happened, so I think it is good enough.

"Carpathianism" is the worship of the ressurrected Antichist, Nicolae Carpathia, as God. By this time he is indwelt by Satan himself. Hope this helps!

I knew this much!! !

My question was whether there are any other teachings of Carpathianism? For instance, Christianity teaches "turn the other check". So Chrisitanity is more than just worship of Jesus per se, it is also a world view of forgiving others, etc. So what world view goes with Carpathianism?
