Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

I'll tell you what is foolishness. It is foolishness to believe that antichrist is a man yet to come. All scripture speaks of antichrist as a spirit that works in many.

No, it is not saying Antichrist who is coming is a spirit because it said many antichrists were already in the world at the time of John. And he described them as persons.

18 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.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

Thanks for proving my point by scripture.:thumbsup: (many deceivers)

1 John 4:3 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.

Did you catch that? This is THAT SPIRIT of antichrist. A single lying spirit which works in many deceivers.

Scripture confirms itself.:thumbsup:
