NASB | 1 John 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus [acknowledging that He has come in the flesh, but would deny any of the Son's true nature] is not of God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and is now already in the world. |
Bible Question (short): Is antichrist a man or a spirit? |
Question (full): Is antichrist a spirit or an actual person? May I submit that antichrist is any spirit of person who denies the power of the risen Lord (Jesus Christ) to overcome the power of evil one and relies instead on the power of mere human beings to do what only God can do. |
