Heh!
You can't see it, but I'm applauding you. And I do pray for him and all of his flock. Egads!
Who would dare to say that he is allowed to rule over the whole of mankind with the full authority of God?

Well the question still remains. Who is the anti Christ?...Not what,but who.. A PERSON... this is not my Pope.How Dare anyone who even thinks such a thing...
I think sometime you just like to here yourself talk!...Nonsense that is..
The word "anti" actually has three different meanings. In the original Koine Greek root words for antichrist, 'anti' can mean not only "against" and "opposite of" but also "in place of".
1JN 2:18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.

That isn't directed at me is it? Nah couldn't be. I'm simply trying to answer
a riddle. Couldn't possibly offend anyone.

Most Christian sects come up with ways of proving that all the other ones are someway antichrist.

It already started even before the New Testament was written. So a church could kick some one out, or pressure them to leave, then call them anti-christ.
Here's another possibility. Instead of using the "instead of" meaning for anti, go with the "against" in the actual physical meaning, such as, the shovel leans against the wall. Imagine then two cards leaning against each other, as when a house of cards is being built. Neither card can stand alone. Either they stand together, or they both fall.
If there were no Christ, there would be no Christianity.
If there were no Christianity, there would be no Christ (at least that any would ever hear of)
I propose then that Christianity is the anti-Christ.
Read Isaiah 22:20-25. See what you may conclude.

So you got your batteries all charged up at church yesterday and now want to inflict your mythological nonsense upon the rest of us.
Please provide corroborative evidence the jesus (the one that appears in the new testament) was a real historical figure and all the accounts of this character are true. We then may proceed to discuss his nemesis and you may also provide evidence for his reality.
