Is the anti-christ in our world now?
In your opinions has anyone seen him? Many people have their beliefs as to who he may be, but I don't think that he'll be in our world until his “exact time” comes.
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT THE ANTICHRIST
“Young children, it is the last hour [evidently the end of the apostolic period], and, just as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now there have come to be many antichrists.”—1 John 2:18.
“Who is the liar if it is not the one that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one that denies the Father and the Son.”—1 John 2:22.
“Every inspired expression that does not confess Jesus does not originate with God. Furthermore, this is the antichrist’s inspired expression which you have heard was coming, and now it is already in the world.”—1 John 4:3.
“Many deceivers have gone forth into the world, persons not confessing Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.”—2 John 7.
Since “many deceivers [“this is the antichrist”] have [already] gone forth into the world” and since when John wrote these words, “even now” he said, “there have come to be many antichrists” it is obvious to me that
yes, antichrist is in our world now, has been in our world since John wrote those words and maybe a little earlier even.
Quote In your opinions has anyone seen him?
There are millions that deny that Jesus is the Christ (“annointed one”) and as the scripture says, “this is the antichrist.”I think perhaps nostadomous or other pychics or whatever or movies are largely responsible for this notion of one man in world history who would be a satanic antichrist. I don't think the Bible bears this out.
Well I still believe that there are many antichrists [deceivers of many] but only one Antichrist that is the most deceptive and satanic of these. If you can prove me wrong then please try.
Quote If you can prove me wrong then please try. I cannot prove you wrong. I can only prove that this belief is not in the Bible.
If you think this is a belief from the Bible, as others do, could you please point to those scriptures that lead you to that conclusion.
heres athought ac is the antichrists super highway of sin now he can get around alot faster than ever before, he is here! not that me know from scripture exactly but from what god showed me in the days of the visions.but dont wory he is as of nothing under gods feet,and runs away to hide even from the very name of jesus!
Acertainchap,
The”antichrist:that John saw in Rev. was one he knew.Numerology was commonly practiced during Jesus.John's time(assigning numeric values to names)and was very prevelent throughout the Roman world.This is what John was doing when he assigned the number 666 to the antichrist's personage(..and his number is that of a man.And that number is 666″).If you go back and research the greatest killer,persecutor,enemy of the early christians you will find Nero Ceasar,who crucified them,had them torn to pieces by wild beasts,buried them alive up to their necks and then lit their heads on fire along the roadsides to light the way for his chariots…..who also had his visage on all coinage(to be able to buy and sell),and made the people worship him as a god.
This was THE antichrist John was speaking of in his vision.Why do we know this?Because the numeric value of”Nero Ceasar”is 666.
The majority of Rev. deals with the struggles of christians in John's time,not ours.And the antichrist he references is during his time also

Hi acertainchap
I don't think so ,yet, but his influence is and always has been.
There have been pre runners, some might say Hitler was the the Antichrist, because he focused on the Jew's, but as God has His Own so does Satan have his, and I think the tyrants and dictators right through the ages have been previews of Antichrist, but not himself.
Your right he isn't determining his time of arrival, God is.
These are my thoughts only.
God blessHi Chap:
I believe that since the advent of Christ on earth there have been many who fit the definition of antichrist (he who denies the Father and the Son), but I believe based on the following scriptures that there will be one who will be known as the “Anitchrist” and will be revealed to the whole world at a certain point in time in the future.
Quote 1Jo 2:18 – Show Context
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard THAT ANTICHRIST SHALL COME, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.Quote 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth F5 that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. God Bless

100% doubtful. Don't be deceived.Quote (Debra @ Aug. 04 2007,17:40) Quote (acertainchap @ June 21 2007,00:26) Is the anti-christ in our world now? In your opinions has anyone seen him?

Agreed 100%.
Hey Chap, have you read my topic “The image of the beast, Rev. 13”?
you find it under “Biblical Prophecy”.
It may help you with some of your questions.
Bless youHello chap
This might interest you, I think it's how it will be, satan is a charmer, the chief wolf in sheep's clothing..God bless
Hey Chap, I'm beginning to doubt your sincerity in wanting to know the truth. You ask a lot of questions but don't follow up on advice. On at least two occasion I ask you to read my topic concerning your subject matter; no response. I don't particular like to type up thinks twice, I figured, if you really want to know, you go and read my post. And yes I said “truth”, because I say what I believe and I show why I believe it with scripture. For you to believe it, is your responsibility by proving it to yourself. I'm sharing my understanding, not my doctrine; just want to make that clear.
Bless you
