1 | When will the Antichrist come ? | 1 John 2:18 | DocTrinsograce | 241678 | ||
Hi, Tracy... The only explicit references to the antichrist is in the first and second Epistles of John. He tells us that an antichrist is anyone who denies that Jesus is Christ, deceivers that deny both the Father and the Son (1 John 2:22; 2 John 1:7). Furthermore, John tells us that "even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour" (1 John 2:18). Consequently, since antichrists appeared then and have appeared even in our own day, we may rightly conclude that these things occur prior to the Second Coming. Beyond that, Scripture is silent. There are many prophecy mongers and the like, though, that promulgate a view of some kind of special antichrist -- co-opting the word with a capital A. That opinion, though, is predicated on a dispensational hermeneutic of the church, unknown to Biblical orthodoxy. In Him, Doc |

Doc: I just this morning came to this thread. I read it from start to finish. This is filled with opinion, and lacks a genuine view of Scripture. Calling John MacArthur an anti-Christ violates John 13:34,35. Often when someone calls other's faults into the open or points out what they say is a sin in someone else, it's really the accuser that has the very issues they are accusing others of. I find some who wrote so harshly, have missed he true Gospel "boat" altogether. (my word picture) Finding a response that represents the way Jesus himself would reply, might well be no response at all but allow a person to prove they are foolish as Proverbs describes. in some verses. Unless Scriptural proof is used, it's just opinion. Even then we as brothers and sisters can disagree, when verses are dealing with minor issues. Foot washing falls into that kind of debate. But the essentials, or core Doctrines of the Scripture there is no room for debate and even then answering with gentleness often is best. Blessings. justme |
