No. "Antichrist" is a mistranslation. In Greek it means "false anointed". Therefore the antichrist is someone that would come in the context of the belief, not someone that would oppose belief in Yeshua. You are mistaken.

"Antichristos" means either "against Christ", or, "instead of Christ". CP to "Vicar of Christ".

Much love!

Since antiquity there has been a spirit at work that throws everything it can at debunking the real Christ, offering alternative ideologies which give rise to alternative champions.

Marxism is one example of this.

That isn't so. The little horn in Daniel is the antichrist, which grows on the 4th beast of Daniel, which was Rome. Which implies the antichrist must be Roman. The only man that came in the context of Rome in fulfillment of prophecy are the Roman popes.
You make wild, stupid insulting accusations with the only proof offered is twisted scripture.

Some of the strangest and most persistent attacks on the papacy are claims that the pope is the antichrist, the beast from the book of Revelation, and the whore of Babylon. But these claims are easily rebutted. 1 John 2:22 says that the antichrist “denies that Jesus is the Christ,” but no pope is recorded as ever having done this. Likewise, Revelation 17 speaks of a beast that sits on seven mountains and persecutes the holy ones of God, but the Catholic Church doesn’t persecute Christians or sit on “seven mountains.” Vatican City rests on Vatican Hill, which lies across the river from the seven hills of Old Rome where Christians were crucified and fed to the lions.

The beast in the book of Revelation does have a name that is numbered 666 (Rev. 13:18), which Seventh-day Adventists say corresponds to the numerical value of the Latin rendering of the Pope’s title, Vicarius Filii Dei (Vicar of the Son of God). The problem with this claim is that this is not one of the pope’s titles; he’s known as the Vicar of Christ. Ironically, the numerical value of the Latin rendering of the name of Ellen Gould White, founder of the Seventh-day Adventists, is 666! This shows that many names can correspond to this number, though many scholars agree that it probably refers to a Roman emperor like Nero, or the Roman Empire as a whole because of its violent persecution of the Church during the first century.

God’s gift to the Church

While some Fundamentalists might say it is the “spawn of Satan,” the papacy is actually God’s gift to the Church. It ensures the Church will be united in one faith, one baptism, and the worship of one God who entrusted his Church to the successors of the apostles under the leadership of Peter’s successor, whom we call the pope.

So, the solution is, become a gold carrying Israelite Protestant using the rubber stamp with emboldened 'JESUS' to validate imaginative ideas?

1 John 2:22 says that the antichrist “denies that Jesus is the Christ,” but no pope is recorded as ever having done this.

That's not what it says:

1Jn 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.

It says anyone who denies Jesus is the Christ is antichrist which means an antichrist. Nothing about the antichrist doing that. In other words, the verse is speaking of a typical belief (denial) of common antichrists. One can be an or the AC and not openly deny the Father and/or the Son.

The church is united in faith, one Lord and one baptism. We have the Word and need no pope. The church while united in faith, has historically been divided. IN the first century the Jews vs. the gentile wings. Also divisions among who planted the local church (Paul, apollos, Peter etc.)

Teh Popes have needed to be withstood because of the vast litany of false doctrine the church has espoused over the centuries.

That already happened. The Roman popes caused the falling away.
Hey gaviria,

Enlighten me! Which Pope caused the falling away? You say 'popes' but a falling away can only happen once so it can only be singular....not plural!

I wonder if he feels silly eating preserved food from his pantry rather than buying fresh veggies at the market down the street.

I would like to know exactly WHEN this alleged "falling away" took place, a major historical event that no one noticed for +15 centuries??? How would something like that would not show up for so long, and all of a sudden it shows up in the middle of a revolt? As you know, the falling away theory has no historical basis, and God promised it would never happen to His Church. He also promised we would be hated by the world.
One example is the sick anti-Catholic thread titles allowed in forums, like this one.

Unlikely.

Sure many individual men are anti-Christs exist and some sit in power positions.

One anti-Christ (Satan) shall be given 7 years of Temporary Power to rule the World, FROM a kingdom, ( in mimic fashion as Christ Jesus shall rule the World FROM a kingdom that is already Biblically Established as Promised Land. )

Christ Jesus’ was REVEALED, coming forth IN the Middle East and shall be given 1,000 years of Temporary Power to rule the World FROM His Kingdom, ( already established what today is referenced as the Middle East).

Satan’s mode of operation is to “underhandedly, deceptively” mimic Christ Jesus.

Satan shall be REVEALED (in the Body AS AN Earthly man) in the Middle East, and operated out of the Middle East; AS a pseudo god.

Presently, there exists a collation of NATIONS in Membership TOGETHER, called the United Nations. Most ALL Nations of the World ARE members, BUT NOT ALL.

That collation simply referenced as the UN, which routinely elects Presidents and Vice Presidents on a monthly rotating basis.

The Vatican City, a Nation unto itself, IS NOT in the Middle East and IS NOT a member of the UN.

Currency, and Fiat currency,, as corrupt as it is, is not a mark of the anti-Christ, on a mans hand or forehead.

RFID chips, placed IN a hand, is a mark that can not be readily seen, but can be READ with technology devises.

Gods Mark ON a man, shall be Gods NAME, and readily SEEN.
I expect “the” anti-Christ, who mimics Christ Jesus’ shall do the similar, marking a man with the NUMBER of man, 666, readily able to be seen.

Caesar is spelled Q-S-R, Qsr. The Q has a value of 100, the S has a value of 60 and the second R has another value of 200. So you add all that up and Nrwn Qsr becomes 666. This has convinced most scholars that the number of the beast is a reference to Nero.

Nero Caesar (not his name anyways but) adds up to 616, not 666. They had to add an N (neroN) to make it 666, but that isn't his name.

False brethren are not registered in records of Israel, Ezekiel chapter 13 . The false brethren go to sheol. They will be waiting for judgement day. It will be real bad day for false brethren. Get the picture.

Were in 5th trump. The two witnesses arrive 10 days before satan as antichrist. At the 6th trump, antichrist arrives in Jerusalem, 5 month period.

There's few false brethren trying to contaminate God's word.

Zechariah chapter 6 is coming to pass. The two mountains of brass are Russia and America.
The four war chariots.
Black and white chariots went north to Russia.
Grisled chariots went south to Jerusalem and middle east.
These are satanic war chariots. Satan starts wars. Get the picture.

The two witnesses are not here yet.
Revelation chapter 13. . The political system receives deadly wound near future. At the 6th trump, satan as antichrist will heal deadly wound, by establishing world peace. It will be one world religious system.

Few false brethren are distorting God's word.
It's your choice. You can believe Gods word. Or false brethren.

And where is that found in the bible?

At the 6th trump, antichrist arrives in Jerusalem, 5 month period.
Except the bible says 42 months, not 5 months. The only 5 month period is before the tribulation and it is not the people of God being harmed but only those without the seal of God. That's well before the appearance of the AC.

Let's be real here. You are regurgitating teachings from the Shepherd's chapel. The two above things are from them, they are unique to their teachings (no one else teaches those two things) and they are not biblical.
