So In Love... If someone said they were the "reincarnation" of Jesus, it wouldn't wash since the majority of Christians do not believe in re-incarnation...
Reincarnation is when a person is born upon this earth with the memories, etc.,. of a past life but in a different body, etc.,.
When Jesus rose, that WASN'T re-incarnation... He was what Lazarus had done...awoke and rose from the dead in the same form, age, etc.,. as when He had died.
Yes indeed, the antichrist will say and do much of everything that Jesus had done...Bible says because of this, even the very "elite" will be fooled.... but, in order to "fool" the "elite' the anti-christ will have to follow some pretty strict guidelines, and to start with, he will be a MAN, NOT a woman, and he will shy away from saying he is "re-incarnated".... although he may say that he "took another form" so he could walk in unaware, etc.,. He will be very clever in doing just exactly the "right" thing and will not show his true colors till he's got most people "hooked"....and...he will definitely NOT be praying to "Jesus" since that's whom he is portraying, but to "god".... (God and Jesus are Father and Son-NOT the same "Person"...they just share the same Holy Spirit :)
(just as we do)
If a friend of mine was found to be the anti-christ? LOL I'd open my big mouth to the "friend" and most likely not have to worry about anything else because I would be either thrown into lock-up without delay, or, I would be persecuted by the masses for my belief (or dis-belief) (lol)
Peace be with you :)

I'm not sure I understand this question? But you know, there are some people who believe the anti-Christ already came and went. It's a theory held by preterists, I believe. I don't hold that theory because I haven't researched it yet, but look it up, anyone whos interested. I think they say the anti-Christ was Nero...?
I think I see what you mean - perhaps the anti-Christ wouldn't be noticably evil? Maybe.

The antichrist is demonic, manifesting through people who deny that Jesus is the Christ. They are deceivers, who on being spiritually challenged, deny that Jesus Christ came in the flesh [1 John 2:22,43; and 2 John7].

Please get some help with this. You friend isnt the anti Christ because she doesnt pray to Jesus everyday. There is something wrong with your thinking. Plenty of people dont pray to Jesus---ever. And they arent the anti Christ.

The only remotely antichrist thing she does is not pray to jesus everyday.....
I think you just lowered my standard for religious stupidity. Sorry to be blunt....
Tell me this though, would the antichrist pray to jesus AT ALL?
And I think you need to lighten up on the "good book" there, it's addling your mind.

I havn't hung out with the pope for quite a while, so......
Martin Luther was not the first person to claim that the pope is the anti-Christ. John Wycliffe came to the same conclusion some 200 years before Luther did. Unlike Luther, Wycliffe had everything to loose and nothing to gain from proclaiming this, but he did it anyway because that is what he believed. Let us examine the facts.
What is the beast (the anti-Christ)? It is a religious power that rises out of Europe after the fall of Rome (and 3 of the tribes of the fallen empire are taken out) that acts as sovereign nation. It has much wealth and wants to change the laws of God.
"And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. “(Daniel 7:24 - 25 KJV)
The history of Europe settles the matter. There were 10 kingdoms that formed directly after the fall of Rome. After three kingdoms were taken out (the Vandals, Lombards, and Huns), the "Bishop of Rome" rose to power and formed what we now know as the Roman Catholic Church and this position is now known as the pope. With this power, the pope has changed God's times and laws. Many Christians no longer observe the Sabbath (God's time and God’s law) because the pope has instituted Sunday worship; the Roman Catechism even has a different set of Ten Commandments in it than the Bible's. It is also obvious that this kingdom represented by the little horn is different from all the others. The Vatican is a nation that has great wealth (the little horn wares an expensive crown earlier in Daniel chapter 7) but is very small (like a little horn among big ones) and is wholly ruled by a religious leader unlike any other nation in Europe today. The Vatican is a nation because the USA has an ambassador to the Vatican.
There are even more clues to point to the papal system as being the anti-Christ.
"And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." (Revelation 13:3 KJV)
The pope was taken out of power and made prisoner (wounded) in 1798 by Napoleon. But, the pope was miraculously healed from his deadly wound in 1929, by Premier Mussolini if Italy who gave the pope all his power back!
The whole world has wondered after the pope. Just look at everyone that attended the funeral of the late John Paul II - leaders of almost every nation in the world!
Also, we find this of the anti-Christ. " And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. (Revelation 13:5 - 6 KJV)
What is blasphemy? "The act of claiming for oneself the attributes and rights of God." (American Heritage Dictionary)
Does the pope blaspheme?
"Against this background of love towards Holy Church, 'the pillar and bulwark of the truth' (1 Tim 3:15), we readily understand the devotion of Saint Francis of Assisi for 'the Lord Pope', the daughterly outspokenness of Saint Catherine of Siena towards the one whom she called 'sweet Christ on earth'" (Pope John Paul II, Apostolic Exhortation VITA CONSECRATA, (On The Consecrated Life And Its Mission In The Church And In The World), March 25, 1996.)
"The Pope is of so great dignity, and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God. and the vicar of God." (Ferraris Ecclesiastical dictionary)
"All names which in the Scriptures are applied to Christ, by virtue of which it is established that He is over the church, all the same names are applied to the Pope." (On the Authority of the Councils, book 2, chapter 17)
"The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth." (Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Chapter XXVII, p. 218, "Cities Petrus Bertanous")
""To believe that our Lord God the Pope has not the power to decree as he is decreed, is to be deemed heretical." (the Gloss "Extravagantes" o.f Pope John XXII *** inter, Tit. XIV, Cap. IV. Ad Callem Sexti Decretalium, Paris, 1685)
I would say he dose! The pope also claimes to be able to forgive sins. The bible clearly says that this is blasphamy.
"Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?" (Mark 2:7 KJV)
I think the papal system matches up with the anti-Christ too much to be a coincidence.
