Any teaching that is not from God is antichrist. Either it acknowledges that Jesus came in the flesh, or it doesn't. <br /><br />And just because you say a teaching is antichrist, does not mean that you are saying an individual is "The Antichrist", or something like that. It doesn't even mean that you are saying they aren't Christian. It's just that the teaching itself is antichrist. <br /><br />I'm glad to hear that you get that!<br /><br />-Jonathan BrennemanJon Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149464331349049575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899018576420083198.post-42652176665541876272015-10-29T15:53:56.324-07:002015-10-29T15:53:56.324-07:00I've come to call what you're talking abou...I've come to call what you're talking about The Divine Balance. Christ walked it; he remained disengaged from the political zealots who wanted to co-opt Him to become their earthly king and kick Rome out of the land. He remained disengaged from the Scholars and the Teachers of the Law who wanted Him to cow-tow to their earthly religious empire. He said, as you well know, again and again,"I only do the Father's will. I only do what the Father tells me to do. Period!" And it seems, Pilgrim, so do you. Thank you for sharing what can appear to be a difficult position, but pleasing God, and not mankind isn't that difficult, is it?<br /><br />Blessings<br />Lew CurtissUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12529248742022334217noreply@blogger.com
