The Spirit of Antichrist

"Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:  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."  (I John 4:2-3)

The Gnostics believed that flesh was evil and that God would not inhabit flesh, as in the statement, “And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” (I John 1:14)  God inhabiting flesh was contrary to their belief system.

Many of the teachings and doctrines of the Christian faith are an affront to the cults. The Christian faith teaches the Biblical truths of the manhood of Jesus, His deity, and His substitutionary death for mankind but these truths are not accepted by people misled by the cults.  They are antichrist in their beliefs.

Pray for these thousands of people caught in the web of false teachings and direct them in the study of the Bible.
