We are living things, when we are no more living, thats it, we are dead. I dont believe we have "spirits" that just rise out of us when we die. And no one has answered my other question, if god knows all, why would he create and anti christ when he knew he was going to have to fight him?

sorry, missed this. there are far too many posts to keep track of - doing my best. I assume your question is Why would God create an Antichrist? assuming that is what you are asking (there are a couple typos, and no I am not complaining about typos - I make them too, I just want to be sure); my answer is that God didn't and won't create an Antichrist.
Will there be a single person/entity that could be an "Antichrist" - probably, but that isn't what this discussion is about, that's an eschatological discussion in Christianity. You seem to have a preconceived understanding of end-time events. my guess is based on movies and Hollywood-izations (or other fictional writings). Sorry, but I wouldn't count on any Hollywood-eschatology actually being accurate.

Armageddon. God knows there is going to be one correct? And at Armageddon god has to fight the anti christ (Im assuming that is the devil, not sure but assuming) if god KNEW there was going to be an Armageddon, why would he create the devil? Is that understandable? I have the question in my head its just really hard to get it into words, lol.

your theology is incorrect, at least Christian theology. There may be some Christian denomination that believes that God will fight in an Armageddon, but as far as I know - none believe that God will do any fighting with an Antichrist.

you are assuming the Christian God will be fighting someone/something. please cite a source for this assumption.

I understand the Anti-Christ to be the human form of either Satan himself or some form of Satan's son. God will not create the Anti-Christ. God did create Satan, but not directly. When Lucifer, the Angel who became Satan, was created he was an Angel, but like all of God's Creations, he had freedom of choice. Because of this, at some point during his existence, he chose to go against the will of God. As punishment, God banished him and all his followers to spend the rest of eternity in Hell. So, technically, God created the being that eventually became Satan, but He did not intentionally created a purely evil thing.
