NASB | 1 John 2:18 ¶ Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:18 ¶ Children, it is the last hour [the end of this age]; and just as you heard that the antichrist is coming [the one who will oppose Christ and attempt to replace Him], even now many antichrists (false teachers) have appeared, which confirms our belief that it is the last hour. |
Subject: When will the Antichrist come ? |
Bible Note: 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 |
