I was not there neither were you. So to make any claim about the validity is pure baseless conjecture. You either accept Johns words as true or blow it off like you have other scripture. In any case no mater when he wrote it this is the ONLY verse that talk about the AntiChrist. If you do not accept John's definition of the antichrst then what in the world makes you think there is a antichrist at all in the first place, since this is the ONLY mention of it anywhere!...you cannot maintain your position with constant logic. Neville you are replacing faith in Gods word that you have for an Assumtion that it is not........ you do not see the inconstancy in this because you have allowed your faith to place itself in the reasoning of men, who, i have shown by your own words are inconstant and based on assumptions, not facts, Rather than placing your faith in God's divine providence of scripture.... there is no other way to "KNOW" anything Neville..even who your mother and father ar e is based on faith in what someone has told you. You were not there cognitively to "know" for yourself.. This holds true for your grandparents as well as your prime minister... have you every met him?.. and if so how do you know that was really him and not some imposter?. For all of this how do you know there was a real apostle John??.. Ridiculous of course it is, if you choose to reject certain scriptures, this is exactly what you have done! I have considered the evidence and all of your assertions are assumptions baseless on circular reasoning. I don?t know anything in and of myself, nor do you??I either put my trust in what he has provided me with and accept it or find assumptions that will convince me that he did not really provide Paul?s and Peters letters, if they really are Paul?s and peters to begin with? your ARGUMENTS are inconsistent, ridiculous and accursed. Galatians 1: 6. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7. Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 1Chorinthians 14:37. If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. 38. But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. I am not your enemy because I tell you the truth.

Appealing to this abomination to justify your position is not valid. (A) You can of course believe whatever you like. However all your comments are circular statements, mere assertions not proof or evidence of anything. Which begs the question how do you know anything or any scripture is actually scripture or not...By what authority can you or anyone today make this or any claim...And how can you know that that claim is not the perversion of scripture if you don't accept scripture in the first place? (1 John 4:1 KJV) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. (1 John 4:2 KJV) Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: (1 John 4:3 KJV) 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. When did the real apostle, John, write those words? Do not jump in with both feet, Allen, but consider the evidence. Neville. --------------------------------- How much free photo storage do you get?
