“Who is the liar? Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist.” (1 John 2:22)

Today, in America, the vogue trend is to either deny that there is such a thing as sin or, if you believe that sin exists, to rationalize it out of existence. Many Americans are turning sin inside out and front to back. The emphasis is now given to our God given right to “choose” according to the “personal freedom” associated with our free will. Centuries of Christian belief that freedom and choice do and should exist within the framework of the 10 commandments, is being “thrown out the door”.

Those who accept and practice this distorted and dangerous way of thinking have joined the “Antichrist”; and are the instruments of God’s enemy.

God’s children have now become the minority; under attack by the antichrist.

What has been God’s Truth since the beginning is true today and tomorrow and forever. Do not allow yourself to be deceived.

Stand firm, children of God, and proudly proclaim God’s Truth and in this way you will ensure your salvation.
 
Hmmm.
Toughie

I think the lead singer of “P*ssy Riot”, the Russian band that Putin locked up.
Quite evil looking, singing sacrilege in a cathedral, no less!

If I were Putin I would lock them up for life. Not for their sacrilege, but for their awful singing.
But it is true not enough punishment is exacted from heretics.

so you enjoying making a joke out of a very serious topic? Be careful with your jokes, I won’t this time but others may report you.
 
Yes, it is a very serious topic.
The most serious!
World hunger and poverty are important, but that pales in comparison to the importance of
rooting out the antichrists that live among us!

If I am reported for expressing my opinion, so be it.
 
The antichrist opposes all that is of God and is the root cause of poverty and world hunger.Antichrist sees no intrinsic value in human life but sees humans through the eyes of lucifer.That we are a cancer and only the fittest and most beautiful and intelligent should survive.
Antichrist seeks its own glory and not the glory of God
The supreme deception of antichrist is man worshipping himself instead of God and his Messiah come in the flesh.
 
You should go to you tube and click in Father Rutler on the antichrist. I thought is was interesting. It’s short but well worth hearing. Just a suggestion.

if you guys want to talk about that why don’t you start a thread instead of being disrespectful of someone else’s thread - what you are saying has nothing to do with the thread. Please, stop with this nonsense.

But then it wouldn’t be funny. No comedic timing there…
 
We came into this world as anti-Christ. Thats why we had to be reborn again. In our Baptismal vows the Church asks us “Do you renounce Satan” and the congregation answers “Yes” Jesus states that “We are all sinners, and he who says he is not is a liar.” Satan has a grip on all of us in some way. Our strive for Christian perfection is a spiritual journey. On that journey Satan waits for us like a roaring lion . He knows our weakness, and thats where he strikes. We all have some anti-Christ in ourselves. Some of it is hidden deep within our souls, and we are not aware of it. I call them."the creatures of the Id. One is pride. I t comes when we accidentally take the place of Jesus, and act as savior. We begin to judge people by their actions, instead of realizing that they can’t give what they do not possess, that is the saving power of Jesus. They are in spiritual bondage, and only Jesus can save them. That why evangelization is critical. Proclaiming that Jesus is the “Good News- the Messiah, the Saviour” When we judge our neighbor even when we recognize that what he is doing is morally wrong we do him an injustice, we take for granted what we have, and expect him to think as we do. He can’t. he is spiritually handicapped. Jesus is the only one who can release him from sin. Jesus came to set sinners free, thats all of us. So we must be humble and loving, unconditionally towards: our so called enemies. There go I except for the grace of God through Jesus. Satan is the anti-Christ and his power over us is the anti-Christ we have within us. Ask Jesus to expel all that is anti-Christ within us. Thats why He came. 👍
 
Hello! I have a small book called “Questions & Answers About the Catholic Faith”, and it was distributed by the Knights of Columbus. Under the header, “Who is the Anti-Christ?” it says:

“St. John speaks of Anti-Christ and Anti-Christs and describes them as certain definite persons who pretend to be the real messiahs and deny Christ this role. St. Paul speaks of the coming of the man of sin (2 Thes 2:3), the mystery of sin (2:7), the outlaw (2:8). The general impression given is that the Anti-Christ will be one person in particular, not Satan but the minister of Satan – the very embodiment of wickedness who will strive to undo all of Christ’s redeeming work. No one is quite sure how to interpret these direful passages. Through the ages there have been many religious enthusiasts who claimed to identify some contemporary person or institution and consequently announce that the day of final struggle and judgement had arrived. Such announcements of doom, Armageddon, and all the rest, have proved immature.”

I am not sure how much help that was, but I hope you can get something out of it! 🙂
 
ST.Thomas tells us that when an angel makes a choice he can never change his decision, his will is immutable. Satan made a choice he sinned against God. He wasn’t ignorant or weak when he made his choice . The choice he made turned his love for God to hatred. He is the consumate anti-Christ. As an angel he has a powerful influence over mankind. Consumate hatred makes him a murderer, Jesus named him, and a liar. Man in his sin is very vulnerable to Satans’ influence. Those that emulate Satans’ qualities do the same. They murder, they lie. History has shown leaders who murdered humanity. Killed innocent people, brain washed people with lies, they were very anti-Christ. I’m no scripture scholar but Satan is already using people to advance his agenda. There is much paranormal activity going on in the world and people are the instruments of his evil. I only can imagine that perhaps sometime in the future he will be bold enough to make a grand entrance in a very paranormal
way. I believe he may have used some individuals , leaders to act as anti-Christs already When many people become totally commited to pagan practices, commit sins that are against religion, violate the First commandment, in effect adore Satan, the abomination of desolation reigning in high places, this may be the time he makes his appearance, giving those that follow him his angelic powers to do evil. This is pure speculation on my part. He is already active on humanity and gaining followers. God is always in control, where ever evil abounds, grace, abounds more. We know how it will all end. Who is like God. 👍
 
The anti-Christ is in general, a force hostile to the person and work of Christ. The common interpretation of the Christian writers sees in the Anti-Christ a person distinct from Satan, but sustained by him, who will manifest himself in the last days, before the end of the world to attempt a decicive attack on and triumph over Jesus and His Church. He will show himself as god, exercising his power with signs. Even some of the faithful may be deceived. The precise indentification among scholars varies. Among modern scholars there is the opinion that the Anti-Christ is not a person, but a collectivity and this opinion is gaining ground. The Anti-Christ signifies the agents of anti-Christianity in all times who recognize neither Jesus nor the Father. St. Paul says the mystery of iniquity is already at work. They believe that there is an obstacle holding him back. The obstacle impedes the manifestation of the Anti-Christ, not his personal work. He will be revealed at the end time. There is no doubt that his work is manifest through out history. Mans inhumanity to man. The murder of many people, in many nations. Atheistic communism is one of them. World Wars’ the super race.and now even in our society the killing of the innocent. Greed, avarice, lust, destruction of the family, suicides, insanity a lack of unity in churches and wars to name a few. God keeps giving signs to us by all means, the weather, the condition of society, and by many good people in order for us to turn to our Savior, Jesus for help that the world can’t give, because we are not fighting each other but the powers, and principalities, the spirits of evil, fallen angels. Pray that our Father through His Son bestows His Holy Spirit on us and then we can defeat them with Jesus at our side. Its spiritual warfare, it is at the root of all our afflictions. Praise our Father for His Son, our Savior.👍
 
Everyone who commits mortal sin is at times an antichrist. Whoever deliberately chooses his own will over God’s will, his own authority over God’s authority, and deliberate grave sin over virtue is, at least at the time of committing that sin, an antichrist. It is a good thing to want to rid the world of antichrists, so long as our efforts are only to rid the world of our own self-love. The antichrist within is the only one we have to worry about.
