The implication in saying the Holy Ghost restrains says that the Spirit leaves the earth and withdraws. Not sure if you believe that. Those who do have a problem. It's like the Spirit has to leave the world for the evil of the son of perdition to occur, but there was more evil when Christ was crucified than anything that ever did or ever will happen. So. if the Spirit never left then, why would it have to leave for
2 Thess 2 to occur? That applies, though, only if you think the restraining being removed means the Spirit leaves the world.
