There are also still people who believe the Earth is flat, only 6,000 years old and was created in 6 days.
We call these people ignorant.

Biblical apocalyptic literature predicts the coming of "the" Antichrist, the name given to the one who will be Christ’s chief enemy. This will be just one person.
It is not uncommon for fundamentalist writers or preachers to attach the label to a currently living person. By calling a second (or third or fourth) person "the" Antichrist, they show that they were wrong when they applied the title to the first person.
Every Pope since the time of Martin Luther has been labeled "the" Antichrist by at least one anti-Catholic "Christian," making each one incorrect (so far).
The adjective "anti-Christ" does not refer to the person prophesied in the Bible. It may be applied to an attitude or action judged to be fundamentally opposed to Christ and his message, for example: Hating others is anti-Christ.
Pope Benedict XVI just wrote a wonderful book entitled, "Jesus of Nazareth." http://www.ignatius.com/ViewProduct.aspx?SID=1&Product_ID=3060&AFID=42
From a book review: Through his brilliance as a theologian and his personal conviction as a believer, the Pope shares a rich, compelling, flesh-and-blood portrait of Jesus and invites us to encounter, face-to-face, the central figure of the Christian faith.
How can someone who writes such a book be accused of being either the Antichrist or anti-Christ?
With love in Christ.

Hello,
Ian Paisley, the upstart protestant minister in Northern Ireland was the only one I ever heard say that but 6 popes have been here through his lifetime and AC did not materialize - far more since Luther and Newton so I am afraid they were far off the mark.
Cheers,
Michael Kelly

'The' Antichrist has not yet arrived. The 'pope' is an antichrist, but then so is Billy Graham, along with almost all clergy, and about 95% of people who call themselves Christians. The 'pope' is the most absurd phoney, and the real Antichrist will be far more convincing- more like Billy Graham.
So people who say that the pope' is _the_ Antichrist are antichrists trying to deflect attention from themselves.

The church I attended as a young child taught it's members that the pope was the anti-christ. It wasn't until my late teens and early 20's when I studied Moody that I found out that what I had been brainwashed to as a child was wrong.
