DDM, yes, great references! If we're speaking of the spirit of antichrist...I'd definitely vote that yes, it is alive today. |

Todd1_This should Help W/the Spirit Part?
1 John 2:
22 WHO is a LIAR but HE that DENIETH that JESUS is THE CHRIST? He IS ANTIchrist, that denieth The FATHER and THE SON.
1Jonn 4:
3 And every SPIRIT that CONFESSETH NOT that JESUS Christ IS come IN the flesh IS NOT of GOD: and THIS IS that SPIRIT of ANTIchrist, whereof YE have heard that IT should come, and even NOW already IS it IN the world. |

Todd1_The Spirit of AntiChrist Has been around since Jesus was here, Many denied that he was the Son of God and that made them AntiChrist(the Spirit of AntiChrist IS to Deny Jesus).
However, "THE" AC is a completly Differant Story.
There Not going to make an Image(Statue)of some nation and make people worship it
The Image that is set in the Temple and comes to life and Causes ALL to take a Mark, The Mark of a Man! |
|
---Duane_Dudley_Martin on 5/29/08 |
The antichrist is not a single person according to scriptures which state "even now there are many antichrists" (1 Jn 2:18)
If John uses the word antichrists in the plural, then it cant refer to a single person in history.
I think there will be an antichrist kingdom, or power, in the last days, from what I read in the Bible.
If we're all looking for a single person (prince charles, george bush according to other blogs ,-p ) I think we might miss the armies of satan amassing. |

I think Frances that we are now in agreement about Jesus praying for (present) unbelievers. |
|
---alan_of_UK on 5/4/08 |
Salvation is not based on knowledge. But there is an element of knowledge in it. We have to know about Jesus for example. We have to know right from wrong. Etc. God has foreordained the work for us to do spreading the truth. It is up to us whether we do it or whether we will be blamed for some people not hearing the Word. For me, my starting point is the Truth about the World being under the control of Satan. |
|
---frances008 on 5/3/08 |
Not all talking to the Father is praying for people. For example David often prayed for his enemies to come to a bad end. Jesus is not doing that but he is saying 'Okay, Father, I have told THEM, etc. and now let's see what happens.' He isn't making any special request or pleas for them.
We are all God's children when we hear the gospel and know we are sinners, and we are all chosen if we hear. It is up to us whether to choose to reject the gift or not. Some people do belong to the devil. |
|
---frances008 on 5/2/08 |
God decides that just like he decides whether we will have good parents, be born into a Jewish/Muslim/Christian family, whether we will meet a Christian etc. God is the initiater and we are the potential responders. Even in occult families some were good men. So God can find people anywhere. |
|
---frances008 on 5/2/08 |
God knew my future before I was even born. He set everything in motion to give me at least one opportunity to turn to him. If I had rejected him I would be finished. I didn't so I am still in the race, but not finished it yet. It is up to me to finish the race that God predestined for me to be in in the first place. So effort is required. God knows how I will do. I must try to fulfill his best expectations. There is a chance for everyone. Emcee, it is not too late to change and back the winners. |

---frances008 on 5/2/08 |
Frances ... you cannot be a beleiver until yuo beleive, (that is the word used in both KLV and NIV, not "receive the gospel")
And in verse 21, the word "that" shows that he was praying for something to happen.
But I see you are a predestinationalist, and you make the verses fit in to your belief
Of coure, you will say that it is predestined that I beleive in that false thing, free will |
|
---alan_of_UK on 5/2/08 |
Frances ... The KJV does not have ubheadings, but now I see them in the NIV.
They are not really wrong, because Jesus does pray for all believers, but in v20 refers to those who "will beleive" and in v21 that "the world may believe".
Is He not then referring to people who are as yet still unbelievers, and ? |

---alan_of_UK on 5/2/08 |
AlanofUk, those people in verse 20 are believers who have yet to receive the gospel, but when they receive it will accept it because they are foreordained to receive Salvation. Those that reject it, Jesus is not interested in. Even in verse 26 he is only saying to the father what he has done. Not praying for those people. |
|
---frances008 on 5/1/08 |
Frances 008::A revealing thought "the hardest to bring to Christ are False christians"who, what makes them false ?is it their opinions or what they believe in, or their interpretations of what they believe to be the truth.So in essence it is their 'Choice'.which fits the saying"A man convinced will not change"That is "The truth"so his choice is to his condemnnation only IF it does not correspond to Jesus Teachings contained in His word one of which is Matt16:17-19 |
|
---Emcee on 5/1/08 |
This is interesting, AlanofUK...my NIV version has Chapter 17 of John divided into the following sections with the following headings.
Jesus Prays for Himself verses 1-5
Jesus Prays for His disciples verses 6-19
Jesus Prays for All Believers verses 19-26
So neither of us would agree with this editing. |
|
---frances008 on 5/1/08 |
The hardest people to bring to Christ are false Christians. Those who are in a religion that denies the truth of the Antichrist Conspiracy. Those who do not interpret the signs of the times correctly. Those who think that God is controlling this world. Satan is controlling it, and they worship him. |
|
---frances008 on 5/1/08 |
Frances ... you said that jesus did not pray for the world. By world i would understand the people of the world,not the lobe itself.
And in verse 20 He is clearly praying foor those that do not yet beleive. |
|
---alan_of_UK on 5/1/08 |
Alan, I looked at Chapter 17, and still see that Jesus is praying for the believers. He says he will continue to work that unbelievers will come to be believers. I only found verse 26 that mentioned them. That is like an after note. St Paul commands us to pray for believers and to oppose all who try to take away the Word of God or change it, even if they claim to be believers. He calls it war with spiritual entities, but those entities work in humans. |
|
---frances008 on 5/1/08 |
Clearly, Alan, Jesus sees that there are three groups of people. The ones given him from the beginning, who testify to the second and third groups. The second is either the undecided people, who you might think of as unbelievers or those who think they are believers but are, in fact deceived by the god of this world. The third is the world. People who are totally cold, like atheists, even Satanists. Sometimes the third group are easier to change into believers because the Word is so new to them. |
|
---frances008 on 5/1/08 |
Alanof UK, I respect you for checking up after me, as I am prone to mistakes due to my bad memory and age. I am a busy person and can often get it wrong...and I thank you for letting me know my mistakes, so that I will learn from them too. But while I get small things wrong, it is because I am literally teaching on the fly. I am only one step ahead of those falling into apostacy. That is why I read so much Bible. I realize how far behind I fell for many years. |
|
---frances008 on 5/1/08 |
Alan, Jesus was anxious about His People, that he should lose none of them. There were many people he turned away when they wanted to join him. He knows what is in people's hearts. For his purposes he will let some of them cause problems in his church. So that those who love lies will be deceived. That was my point. His People and the World people are two different groups. |
|
---frances008 on 5/1/08 |
Well,I think he would have to be alive today.Considering the state of the world,the bad morals almost everywhere.The violence in the middle East continues to esculate.Now who he is or his age? I have no idea. |
|
---shirley on 5/1/08 |
Alan of Uk::Not to dispute your explaination or its meaning which is most right being of Latin origin, but does it also not tally with "I Have Suffered"IHS- which is also true for all humanity. |

Frances "Even the host has IHS (Isis, Horus, Set) on it.
If coming from the prChristian celebratin, it was not set but Seb
But most likely it stnds for "Jesus Hominum Salvatore" .. Jeus aviour of Man" . |
|
---alan_of_UK on 5/1/08 |
Frances ... what do you make of John 17 verse 20 & subsequent? |
|
---alan_of_UK on 5/1/08 |
He is alive he is one of the 7 going back in to make the 8th. Notice Revelation 17:10. I beleive babylon to be the usa and the kings meaning presidents of the usa. That could possibly mean one of our ex-presidents could take office again being the beast. One of the 7 making the 8th... |

.nicole, the Rock is Christ. Jesus asked who am I? and not who are you? Jesus asked his disciples what his identitiy is. "Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of God live. And I thereupon to you say, being you Peter, that yet on this Rock I will build me the assembly, and gates of hell will not have prevailing power against this." Notice he said, against THIS Rock. The Rock was Jesus' identity, that Rock of truth of whom Jesus is, which Peter said correctly. |

Frances008:: you are an enemy unto yourself by your ownhatred towards the RCC.You must have suffered quite unusually at the hands of some unscrupulous person Surely not His Jesus's doctrine?But that is your side, yet to be determined by God.He will render justice.So dont persecute him. |
|
---Emcee on 4/30/08 |
Isn't Satan the antichrist? Isn't he the second beast that comes out of the earth in Revelation 13? |
|
---james on 5/1/08 |
No, Nicole. Only a certain number of souls were given to Jesus from the beginning. Jesus does not want to lose those souls but there is a conspiracy to deceive people and take them from Him. The conspiracy is headed by the Papacy. Jesus did not pray for the world he prayed for Believers. John 17. He prayed that none might be lost of those who were given Him from the beginning. |
|
---frances008 on 4/30/08 |
Nicole you might like to read Ezekiel 20 which shows that God thinks of the Sabbath as the day which should be separated for him. The Catholics changed it to Sun-day because they worship the Babylonian gods, and the Sun-god. Lucifer. The symbolism of the Catholic church is full of it. Even the host has IHS (Isis, Horus, Set) on it. Set as in Sun-set. Your god is different to the Jewish God. |
|
---frances008 on 4/30/08 |
Nicole, only the RCC says that Jesus founded his church on a human being called Peter, or Petros, the STONE. No, in reality the Greek says the church is established on Petra, the FOUNDATION or BEDROCK of the admission that Jesus is the Son of God. It was only the words that had been revealed by the Holy Spirit, to Peter, that is important. Peter in the next part is called 'Satan'. |
|
---frances008 on 4/30/08 |
Of all the followers of Jesus the most ROCK-LIKE one was Paul. Therefore his letters are preserved although he at first persecuted Christians. He was a very strong and very stubborn man. But Jesus appeared to him on the road to Damascus, knocking him off his horse. Much much later he went to see Peter. They did not get along very well. Peter was too willing to appease the Jews. |
|
---frances008 on 4/30/08 |
I don't know if the anti christ is a live or not but I believe it is quite possible. |
|
---Dave on 4/30/08 |
No one said Jesus wasn't Our head.
RCC states Peter is head of the Church according to Jesus. Everyone knows Jesus is Head of Everyone including the Church.
Jesus said Peter is the Rock and He was going to build His Church on the Rock.
Please, address Matt 16:13-19. Why won't you do this if you are trying to convince me of being brainwashed. Use the Bible. We state why we believe Peter is the first Pope, with Scripture. Jesus own Words.Do the same using Gospel disproving Peter isn't the Rock. |
|
---Nicole on 4/30/08 |
Frances008, Around 50-70, RCC did change the worship day from Friday night to Saturday night to Sat night to all day of Sunday. The first Christians were Jewish, the new followers were trying to keep all the observance of the Jewish faith. So, RCC decided to celebrate the day Jesus rose from grave and Saved us. Sunday. |
|
---Nicole on 4/30/08 |
Daniel 8:25, 11:21, & 24, it brings out that the antichrist will be a Peaceable Man. He will also be a King, (Daniel 11:36 & Revelations 17:10).I believe he could very well be one of the ex-presidents of the United States.There are two fallen ex-presidents at this time, he will be a "peaceable man." |
|
---Mpctruth on 4/30/08 |
I hate the Nicolatians, yes. I hate any system or people that know the truth and deliberately mislead the followers, possibly hoping to escape the wrath because perhaps they think they are righteous. I don't hate priests who are possibly blind spiritually, and do not have any idea of what is going on at the top. I love Catholic people who are the innocent victims of their Satanic leadership. So Yes I hate the RCC with a perfect hatred. |
|
---frances008 on 4/30/08 |
Nicole, why would you imagine I would put myself under Catholic brainwashing which I only recently escaped, not without great cost to my health and family finances. |
|
---frances008 on 4/30/08 |
In 321 AD, the Emperor Constantine, I believe, issued an edict that made Sunday the day of worship. I might have dates wrong. Please check. However, the point is that it was the Roman Catholic Church, used for political purposes, that changed God's precious Sabbath to the Sunday, so apostasizing the Christian church from the word 'go'. Peter, who is claimed as your first Pope, was not the rock of Christianity, but Jesus was. The foundation is sand. The Pope is not the Head, Jesus is. |
|
---frances008 on 4/30/08 |
The body of Christ is not a two-headed unfortunate accident of nature. I saw a two headed little girl on television and she was very sweet, they were. But the church is not like that. Any shepherd other than the Good Shepherd is a wolf come to steal kill and destroy. Any church with two heads is not going to live to a great age. |
|
---frances008 on 4/30/08 |
Frances008, Why do state lies about the Papacy? You truly hate the RCC.
You need to read your history. RCC were being tortured and killed by Protestants, esp England by Queen Elizabeth I.
"Twelve Days of Christmas" is a teaching tool to teach Catholic children their faith.Look it up online. Also the candy cane and many others. The Protestants still brother us. They break our statues and just won't leave us alone! But I bet these same ones won't dare do the same to a Muslim worship place. |
|
---Nicole on 4/30/08 |
Since all of the other signs point to the eminence of Christs return, I would say that it is very likely that the anti-Christ is about to rear his head as well. Once He does,in this country Christian people will see great persecution and the end will come soon. In other countries Christian persecution is a way of life but when it finally hits here, we will see where the rubber meets the pavement. We are spoiled and spend time arguing doctrine, causing division which is against Christs teachings.:) |
|
---jody on 4/29/08 |
The antichrist is always alive. It is a dynasty so one one dies, the next one takes over. The Papacy. When will he demand Universal Worship. That is another matter. That will be when he reveals himself. He will persecute non Catholics again, in fact many have died already. It will be more like a holocaust. There are people who know the dates, because they are planning it right now. Nobody knows when Jesus will come back. |
|

i>HE IS ALIVE AND HE WILL SHOW HIS REAL SELF IN THE YEAR 2013-2023.THAT IS TRUE.

there is no doubt Antichrist's spirit is prevailing in deceiving the unsaved. The removal of prayer from schools, constitutional ban of Christian practices, approved abortion are doctrine of and proof of Antichrist's growing influences. These are "civil" law's.Next to come will be "criminal" punishment's upon the Christian. This will begin unifying the spirit and flesh of Antichrist at which time his authority and will shall become law here in America and abroad. Qoute me on this. |
|
---Tim on 9/30/07 |
I think Christians are overly obssessed with irrelevant topics that get in the way of doing what we should be doing.I couldn't care less whether the antichrist is alive. Jesus didn't die so that I could waste precious time speculating on some loser called the "antichrist". Millions of people in the world don't have a clue who Jesus is. If you really want to speculate on something, speculate on how many of those people will die unsaved because the "antichrist" was more important. |

Yes I believe he is very much alive and rising up as I type..I've had my eyes on Blair since 97 and is something that has not went away..It has only been reafirmed in recent weeks watching all unfold..We were given clues for a reason..
I think his identity can and will be revealed to those in the faith-we are not as those who will be caught unaware..:) Even so Lord Jesus! |

The antichrists is everywhere. Yes, even on Christianet. It is anyone who denies through Words or Actions that Jesus is the Christ. >>>The archenemy of Christ and all Christians. Rooted in the prophecies of Daniel. The antichrist receives his authority and power from Satan. He is lawless and deceitful. the Antichrist will appear before the return of Christ to wage war against Christ and His people [Rev. 13:6-8]. However, he will be defeated by Christ and cast into a lake of FIRE. |
|
---catherine on 5/13/07 |
Is the antichrist alive today? In one big word>>YES. How old is he?>>Oh well, different ages....Lets look at the definition of the antichrist...It means either "against Christ" or "instead of Christ", or perhaps, combining the two."One who assuming the guise of Christ". "Opposes Christ."... "I don't like them". In one big word>>UG....The word is found only in John's epistles. |
|
---catherine on 5/13/07 |
Could be. But it likely won't be who you think. The Anti-Christ will be well loved by many, very popular. He will preach his own version of the gospel, very sly, and will decieve many by telling them what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear. |
|
---lorra8574 on 5/13/07 |
I think it is quite funny that so many of you are worried about the anti Christ when there are Antichrists running about all the time. If you would read history and scripture it is clear that the anti Christ spoken about in Rev. is Nero. And the Beast was the Roman Empire of the first couple of centuries. |

He is a Spirit who can oppress any man not of God. Jn.4:3 Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 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. |
