"Who is the liar? Who but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is Antichrist, for he denies both the Father and the Son: to deny the Son is to be without the Father; to acknowledge the Son is to have the Father too." (1 John 2:22,23 NEB).

HOW ANTICHRISTS DENY BOTH GOD AND HIS SON:
To prove whether a person, or persons, are antichrists among the Gentiles, apart from knowing anything of their works, is to ask them who Jesus Christ is. The antiChrist will answer: Jesus Christ is God. These people are denying both the Father and the Son, as they do not know, or have, either. This is what the apostle John said: "persons not confessing Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist". (2 John V.7 NWT). God has never lived on earth in the flesh.

Furthermore, God could not have sent Himself as His only begotten Son in the flesh. Put another way: As antichrists say that Christ is God, then Christ would have had to anoint himself after becoming the firstborn son of Himself. Christ, means Anointed, whom antichrists believe and declare is also God. Jesus Christ is the Son of his Heavenly Father. The existence of the Son is totally dependent on his Father the One True God, known also by His works as the Father of us all. Antichrists deny that there is one God, while the majority of Jews do not believe in Jesus Christ at all. (ANTI: Meaning, opposed to, against). "Christ" is a title. So is "GOD".

(CHRIST [Gr. Khristos, anointed; the anointed one. The equivalent of the Hebrew word Mashiahh "Messiah", his future role on earth was foretold centuries before his birth). (Dan 9:25,26. Matt 1:21. Luke 2:11. Matt 3:13-17. Acts 2:36-38). Some antichrists even refer to the Virgin Mary as the mother of God. But who is her God, and how could the First Cause Almighty God be her son Jesus Christ, whom they teach as being God? This is denying the true existence and authority of the Creator Almighty God. In this way, they attribute to the Virgin Mary the power of being the first cause, and of having the power of everlasting life, existing even before God. Furthermore, the True God would not, nor have the need to, anoint Himself with Holy Spirit, as Holy Spirit comes from Him. Nor would God refer to Himself as being His Son, or have the need to subject Himself to Himself. His words were "This is My Son, the beloved, whom I have approved". (1 Cor 15:24-28. Matt 3:16,17. Acts 10:38). Antichrists explain this away by referring to God's power being in two places at the same time.

Being antichrists (those opposed to the Spirit anointed Jesus) means that they do not have God either. Therefore they do not have a future hope of heavenly immortality by the power of God through His Christ. This is for the all-important reason that only through The Christ our mediator are believers forgiven for their sins, and thereafter spiritually cleansed (sanctified) to inherit everlasting life in great peace and joy.

The Christ Jesus has 144,000 anointed brothers who are to be underpriests, and who will be the heavenly Kingdom. When we refer to the life and name of the first-born Son of God before he lived on earth among men, and also after resurrection to his exalted position in heaven, his name was, and is again Michael (meaning: Who is like God).

There are those too who do not publicly deny Jesus the Christ, but are doing so by rejecting and denying Christ's brothers (as do those of the "disgusting thing standing in a holy place" who usurped and "trampled" on their God-given holy place given to them according to an anointing). These rejecters are also antichrists. (Matt 7:21-23. Rev 11:2. Dan 11:31).
