Jesus only told people to be themselves, live love and laugh. He hated hate. Be yourself, encourage others to be themselves and you are doing God's work. Wouldnt it be something if we were already living in a world without time? Put a smile on someones face and tell them it only gets better from here. If you can forget building your of personal kingdom, and focus on building people you will never be the same. If you have enough make sure that others do too. We dont need the top 1% to do this for us, we can do this ourselves. Our health has nothing to do with what we put in our mouth, it has to do with the words that come out of our mouth. Thank God for today, and God will take care of your tomorrows. If you know someone who's sick tell them theyll feel better, if you know someone who needs help, help them without judgement. It's God's love that sets you free, now go love someone. Have a good one.

Ironically, the Enki followers they do not like Jesus and they see him as working for the slave god. We would never know because the bible is so corrected, we don't know what he really say or didn't say.

"Ante" in the Greek means "in place of" not what anti means in English which is "against/opposite of". The context for the antichrist (hu antechristos) is a coming man who will claim to be God. Who will stand in the temple and claim he is God.

What if everybody starts to realize that they are God? Does that mean that everyone is the anti-christ?

No, the Babylonian model of the trinity is a father-like figure, a son-like figure, and a mother or queen of heaven-like figure. Nimrod, Tammuz, and Semiramis. Or in other words, the Catholic dogmatic version. The devil cannot create anything original, he only can pervert the original.

Wrong, the Nicaean Council officially voted on how to define His deity in 325 AD. The apostle's creed existed long before that even. And Roman perecuted Christians worshipped Christ as God and were marvelled as such since the end of the first century, thats why the Emperors of Rome wanted them exterminated. Read a few books abiut the martyrs, just finished my second one a few days ago. Quite the eye-opener.
Dont really care what the English and Latin came to mean, no offense, John's letters weren't written in Latin or English.

NuT,
We have been over this area before, and the proof exists that the Trinity theme was faked into the written record of John. It is over on the Mason's theme thread, and I am not going to duplicate what has already been said and well vetted. It shows up easily in the Google Search for when and how the Trinity was inserted into the John text.
Constaintine's thing began with a vision of a Cross over the Sun. Constaintine's Mother, Helana, discovers a Cross theme in Jerusalem, and the whole Jesus and Cross thing becames Constatine's game for Jesus linked with the Sun god.
Jesus isn't god, no matter who was worshipping at any time.
Christ basically means Savior to most, and there is a concept for a duality of Christ with god symbolism. But that should not be inclusive of making Jesus god. Jesus was a Savior or Messiah, but one can have a Messiah and not be god.
Jesus, The Man, could be a Messiah with a higher message, but he cannot be god. Christ is more a concept than a term for Jesus exclusively.
The duality involves the term "Christos", which means the annointed or chosen one. This was a ritual for Kings and even gods at times, but even those gods were only pseudo gods. It stems from the times of the Annunaki, and the Holy Myrrh oil annointing thing still happens today in various fashion.
Jesus was essentially annointed with the gold, myrrh, and frankecense from the Wise men of the East or area of Babylon. He remained Jesus, The Man, but considered to have a special message on the order of a prophet or messiah with a greater truth and knowledge.

Of course you don't really care. You're not interested in the truth, you're interested in your personal interpretation of the Bible and Christianity.
No offense taken....but the definition all by itself implies (demands?) several possible interpretations....and "before" as used in Latin, is ONE OF THEM.
Your refusal to acknowledge that illustrates your narrow vision, and your hobby of tossing out facts that don't fit your fantasy.
