AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 John 1:7 ¶ For many deceivers [heretics, posing as Christians] have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge and confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh (bodily form). This [person, the kind who does this] is the deceiver and the antichrist [that is, the antagonist of Christ]. |
Bible Question: Does Islam fit here? Has the church been deceived by the message "Islam is a religion of peace"? Does the church have a responsibility to recognize and declare Islam as "antichrist? |
Bible Answer: I think it does. I think anyone that thinks Islam is a religion of peace is greatly deceived. The Koran and the teachings of the Islamic prophets clearly state you’re either Muslim or you’re an infidel. The task of an Islamic believer is to convert or kill infidels. It is that simple. I firmly believe Gog of Ezekiel 37 is the spiritual wickedness of Islam who reigns over the land of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal which are basically the Islamic countries north of Israel and south of Russia proper. I think this includes Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, and those little countries that once were in the USSR. |
