Does anyone attend a church that teaches the anti-christ will come 1st?

Question

I am looking for a church to attend. I don't seem 2 b looking in the right denomination. I enjoy deep Bible studies, book by book chapter by chapter verse by verse.

Answer 1

"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." (1 John 2:18)

Antichrists have been in the world a long time!

Also, the article "the" is not in the original Greek language. This translation is correct by not adding that word. It is not "The Antichrist", but an attitude and anyone who possesses it.

An antichrist is anyone who is against Christ and his teaching, and anyone who will not confess him as Christ. There are many, many antichrists in the world, and as long as the world lasts, there will be many more.

There are only 4 verses in the Bible that use the word "antichrist". These are 1 John 2:18, 1 John 2:22, 1 John 4:3 and 2 John 1:7.

Now if you are looking for a church that studies directly from the Bible, try the Church of Christ.

The “church of Christ” is neither Catholic, nor Protestant. The church of Christ is not a denomination. The church of Christ identifies itself by name as a church that is trying to follow the “doctrine of Christ” (2 John 9). The “church of Christ” identifies itself by name as a church that belongs to Christ. The name points to the owner and builder. The name points to the one who purchased the church. (Matthew 16:18, Acts 20: 28)

In contrast to this the name of many denominations point to the name of a man, a particular practice, or the way they are organized. A member of a denomination identifies himself by name as one who submits to the authority of that denomination and tries to follow the doctrine (teaching) of that denomination. Why not just follow the doctrine and authority of Christ?

The church of the Bible is compared to a bride, with Christ being the groom. A bride honors the groom when she agrees to wear his name. But many churches today wear man made names.

Suppose, for example, Mr. Smith asks his girlfriend to marry him. She agrees, but says, “Our friend Mr. Jones is a good man, so when we get married, instead of being called Mrs. Smith, I want to be called Mrs. Jones.” Would Mr. Smith have a reason to question her loyalty to him? Would he feel honored? Why would a bride wear another man’s name? Why would a church want to wear a man-made name? The “church of Christ” wears a name found in scripture (Romans 16: 16).


The church of Christ wishes to restore the church to the teaching that was established and authorized by Christ and his apostles. We wish to have Biblical authority for everything we practice and teach. (Col. 3:17)

The Bible teaches that Jesus is the head of the church and the church is his body. (Eph. 1:22-23) The church of Christ recognizes this, and therefore there is no “headquarters” on earth. No man-made organization to dictate what local congregations should teach.

Instead, each congregation is independent and goes directly to the Bible to learn what should be taught and how we should worship. We believe the Bible is sufficient and we need no other authority or creed books. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:3) Christ has “all authority” and we wish to follow this authority by following the things He taught. (Matt 28:18-20) We don’t want to add any man-made doctrine. (If we follow the authority or teaching of men, then Christ does not have “all authority” in our spiritual lives.) If we teach as doctrine the commandments of men, this makes our worship vain! (Matthew 15:9)

Please do not confuse the church of Christ with the “United Church of Christ”, the “International Church of Christ”, the “Church of Christ Scientists”, or the “Church of Jesus Christ of Later-Day Saints (Mormons)”. These groups are not the same and they teach drastically different things!

If you wish to know more about those who simply want to be New Testament Christians (nothing more, nothing less, nothing else), I invite you to investigate the church of Christ by comparison to the Scriptures! I have included a few web sites below that you might wish to visit, or you can e-mail me with any additional questions.

Thank you for your good question!

Answer 2

The Catholic Church is the original full Gospel Church, and Catholics certainly understand that the antichrist will come before the true Christ.

As for your approach to bible studies, there's better ways than book by book, chapter by chapter.

Answer 3

The book of Revelations tells of a time of great tribulation when Satan in the guise of the anti-christ shall rule the earth.( seven years of tribulation for anyone who is not taken away in the first coming of Jesus) At the end of this time Jesus will return and the dead will rise and be judged according to their lives.does this answer the question.
