Re: The Anti-christ IS the "restrainer"?
1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who (MAN OF SIN) opposeth and exalteth himself (MAN OF SIN) above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he (MAN OF SIN) as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he (MAN OF SIN) is God. 5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6And now ye know what withholdeth that he (MAN OF SIN) might be revealed in his time.
Nothing between verses 3 and 7 changes the HE from the man of sin to Jesus by the time we get to verse 7. What is there between 3 and 7 that changes the HE to Jesus?

"Many Christians do not try to understand what was written in a verse in the Bible. Instead they approach the passage to prove what they already believe."
