The identity of the antichrist in 5 verses

[turnorburn]

The scriptures very specifically identify the antichrist.
1Jo 2:22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
1Jo 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
2Jo 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

The guy in the white prom dress does not deny that Jesus is the Christ, or the Father and the Son, or that Christ has come in the flesh. In fact, he affirms that Jesus is the Christ, and the Father and the Son, and that Christi has come in the flesh. So he doesn't qualify as the antichrist.

Lets see what Jesus says about that..

John 16:1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

When was the last time you heard a pope talk about the second coming?

can you all see why this tidbit of the TOS was put in place ? I too wish there could be real discussions on the topic .. but we can not.

Discussion of Catholic doctrine is limited and will only be allowed in the One on One Debate Forum and End Times forum only. RCC content in the End Times forum should relate to End Times beliefs. Do not start new topics elsewhere or sway existing threads toward a discussion or debate that is may be viewed as ‘Catholic’ in nature.

To me the underlined is a thin line that is on the edge of abuse...

the bashing does nothing but make the basher look like a basher...

There are too many mainstream theologies that believe the RCC has something to do with the anitchrist... Yet the Scriptures do not teach of an single person being THEE ANITCHRIST .

And if Cotton Mather and other past theologians agree on who they think the anti- christ is and if you disagree with that, then I think you need to read up on all these men and come to a better understanding why they are saying these things.

I really don't care why anyone would say hateful and bigoted things about members of the body of Christ while claiming to be members of that same body. I'm not interested in the pathology of hatred and bigotry. The cure is to love one another. A theology which says "love one another except..." is a defective theology.

In that picture i posted do you think those Israelis in that room would have greeted Jesus in like manner?

Lets see what Jesus says about that..

When has any pope denied the Father or Christ? Answer: never.

When was the last time you heard a pope talk about the second coming?

I don't pay much attention to what the pope does or does not say.

Are you trying to slam that down my throat or is there something lovable in what you say?

You can't say never.
You can only answer for yourself.

I'm not slamming anything. You can take it or leave it. You don't answer to me.
There is something lovable in what I said. It is the warning to take seriously the command of Jesus to love one another.

You can only answer for yourself.

If you have evidence that any pope ever denied the Father and the Son or that Christ has come in the flesh, please present it.

I have no idea what they would or would not have done. They didn't live in the 1st century; they're alive today. Do you think you know the hearts of those people whom you have never met? Do you think that your casting aspersions on people you have never met is some kind of useful evidence?

Much to the shame of too many mainstream theologies, I fear.
