The word “Antichrist” gets thrown around often. Politicians are called it, dictators accused of it, and movies dramatize it. For some, it’s nothing more than a myth. Atheist writer Christopher Hitchens dismissed the Antichrist as “apocalyptic fantasy,” while Hollywood portrays him as a shadowy villain plotting world domination. But what does the Bible actually teach about the Antichrist, and how should Christians understand him today?

What the Bible says about the Antichrist

The New Testament letters of John first used the word. John warns that “you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come” (1 John 2:18). Right away, the Bible shows two realities: there is a final Antichrist still to appear, but there are also many “antichrists” already active in the world.

The word itself means both “against Christ” and “in place of Christ.” The Antichrist does not only oppose Jesus but also seeks to replace Him with a counterfeit version of truth. John explains that “every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God,” calling this “the spirit of the antichrist” (1 John 4:3).

Paul adds more detail in 2 Thessalonians, describing “the man of lawlessness” who will exalt himself and even sit “in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God” (2 Thess. 2:3–4). Revelation 13paints an even starker picture of a beast rising from the sea, wielding global power, performing miraculous signs, and demanding worship. Together, these passages describe the Antichrist as deceptive, arrogant, and dangerous—a figure who leads people into false worship and rebellion against God.

Trump Appointee’s Job in Jeopardy Over X-Rated Cowboy Story He Wrote​

A POLITICO report published Sunday revealed that Tucker Stewart, the deputy assistant secretary of agriculture, has become the talk of Washington after a 28-page love story he previously penned—featuring graphic ███ ██ scenes and other explicit content—made its way through government circles.

Stewart reportedly shared the X-rated tale, that centers on a cowboy living in Washington, with fellow Hill staffers while serving as a senior adviser to GOP Sen. Roger Marshall, the role he held before he became top Capitol Hill liaison for Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins.

The Kansas native is now at the center of D.C. gossip as his story circulates not only through USDA offices but also among trade groups, lobbyists, and officials in other federal departments, POLITICO reported.

In context, Peter and John, two of Jesus’ disciples/apostles, were instrumental in the healing of a man who had been lame from his mother’s womb. While the man was still clinging to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them, full of amazement, as if the apostles had healed this man by their own power. And the following was Peter’s response to the people:


Now, when I read this, I got to thinking about how this might look today, from a spiritual only perspective. For there are many people today who are professing faith in the one true God – the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob – Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit – but who are denying the Lord Jesus and his teachings, in practice, and who are replacing Jesus in their hearts and minds with a false god and a false christ created in the minds of human beings, who is the opposite of who Jesus was and still is today.

For, if all we do is we make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord of our lives, but then we are not crucified with him in death to sin, and we are not raised with him to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin, but now as slaves to God and to his righteousness, and so we go on living in sin, deliberately and habitually, and so we ignore his commands, and so we do not obey him, in practice, we, too, are disowning Jesus, and we are seeking a replacement for him and for his gospel.

Do you see the parallels?

For Jesus Christ taught that to come to him we must deny self, take up our cross daily (die daily to sin), and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to living in sin and for self, we will lose our lives for eternity. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, by the Spirit, and we walk in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in his power, then we have eternal life with God. For not everyone who calls him “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one DOING (obeying) the will of God (see Luke 9:23-26; Matthew 7:21-23).

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

The grace of God, which is bringing us salvation, is training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for Jesus’ return. For Christ “gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.” “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (See Titus 2:11-14; Ephesians 2:8-10)

And we learn in 1 John 1-3 that if we claim that we have fellowship with God, but yet we walk in darkness (sin), we are liars. If we claim that we know God, but we do not obey his commandments, in practice, we are liars. For it is not the one who claims he is “in Christ” who is “in Christ,” but it is the one who has denied self, died with Christ to sin, and who is now walking in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in practice, and no longer in sin. We have the hope and the promise of eternal life with God in heaven.

Therefore, if we buy into a “gospel” message that teaches that all we have to do is to profess faith in Jesus Christ with our lips, and now all our sins are forgiven, and heaven is now our eternal destiny guaranteed, but regardless of how we live, we are accepting the “murderer” in place of Jesus Christ, and we are disowning Christ and who he is and what he did for us on that cross. For Jesus put our sins to death with him on that cross that we might die to sin and now walk in obedience to his commands in holy living, in his power.

When I lift up my voice, and
Sing praise unto God,
I will fellowship with my
Lord and Savior, King.
In Him there is no darkness.
He is in the light of truth.
If we walk in His light,
From sin He purifies.

If we repent of our sins,
He’ll forgive us now,
When we humble ourselves, and
Before Jesus bow.
The man who says, “I know Him,”
But does not obey His truth,
There is no truth in him.
In darkness still he’s found.

Do not love the world of sin,
For it is hell bound.
If you follow the world, you’ll
Not in Christ be found.
The world and its desires
Will not last; they’ll expire.
The one who does God’s will,
Receives eternal life.

See that what you have heard from
Christ remains in you.
Then, you’ll remain in Christ, and
In His Father, too.
This is what He promised us –
His eternal life with God.
So, continue in Him, and
You’ll receive a crown.

Disowning Jesus, Accepting the Lie
An Original Work / September 8, 2025

Hello all,

I am not Lutheran but I was reading about him with the family. You see, there is a town in England who has different martyrs listed as street names successively, and Martin Luther was one of them. I knew who he was, what he was famous for, but my family didn't know a lot about him so we read about him on Wikipedia.

If you get the time or inclination or, perhaps you already know the answer, could you read and let me know if you think Wikipedia is a fair representation of Martin Luther's life and work?

Martin Luther - Wikipedia

If not, is there somewhere else we can learn about him?

Thank you and God bless.

yeah I'd like to know ur preferences, i just watch a pastor who knows Hebrew n Greek that he recommends KJV, NKJV, n ESV

Hi everyone, I read some years ago about children in Nigeria who have autism being singled out in communities as being a witch or being possessed by the devil. There are other vulnerable children also who are singled out in this way as well, some may have been born physically disabled etc. This is happening in several diverse countries as well labelling children as child witches. This has happened and happening today in countries such as Angola, Uganda, The Gambia, South Africa, Sierra Leone, The Congo, Ghana, Liberia, Ethiopia and other Sub Saharan countries. This practice grew in South Africa during COVID. This also has been reported in other countries today as far wide as England which if it is experienced is treated as abuse and sometimes it can lead to safeguarding. According to a 2025 Guardian article in the year running to March 2024 alone, the Department for Education (DfE) recorded 2,180 assessments of “abuse linked to faith or belief. These people are misusing Christianity and people may be harmed and this needs to be eradicated

I will say this that as a Christian and someone who is diagnosed with autism this case does move me this story. I am a Christian and God knows how to manage my autism and has done several times in my life. I was blessed with the Gifts of the Holy Spirit at 17 that has equipped me to cope in life and I am under God's divine protection. Psalm 139 says that God created me for a purpose and that we are all wonderfully and fearfully made.

At 17 I served in the church ministry using my spiritual gifts. I am part of Jesus kingdom to as an autistic, we can all be members of the Body of Christ regardless of what conditions we have. My testimony of my faith can be found on this blog where I give an account of serving the Lord in the church.

I am Christian and also a humanitarian. After a degree in major in religious studies and minor in communications. I studied International relations and covered human rights, the UN, conflict resolution and religion amongst other subjects.

Any person has the capability for the devil to tempt and use them we know from the New Testament. So, based on this I would argue that it was possible for anyone to be tempted and used by the devil and we all need to use Jesus' teachings to overcome evil. Labelling children wrongly as child witch based on solely having a condition and often a severe type is grossly wrong. There are though people in our community who are more vulnerable who may experience stigma, lies and injustice because of having a disability. We have to take them into our protective arm as Christians.

Autism is not a spiritual attack and everything God makes is good. God is it at liberty to use an autistic person for his glory as he has done with me and help us to manage our conditions by being baptised through the Holy Spirit. I cannot deny though God’s power and authority and nobody can limit Christ. This though is not the article to uncover Jesus’ miracles. The majority of us though God will leave as we are and support us to praise him with our blessings.

Remember this-we will be judged according to our conditions by God who created us and any sin post original sin for human kind will be cleansed by Christ for all of us who obey the law. We are all God’s children and are created for a divine purpose (Acts 17:28). "And he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being.”

I felt moved and drawn to this topic and I did donate to Patrick School of Languages in Nigeria which is a legitimate school for those who are neurodiverse or have a learning disability and also reached and supported to CRARN which is mentioned in my article. As Christians we are asked to give charitably (Luke 12:33).

What is the situation and how can we help?

There are still stories today of children being labelled as witches who are autistic and who experience other disabilities today. In 2022 in Liberia 22 children (8 boys and 14 girls) were accused of witchcraft.

I return now to Nigeria and examine how the issue of traditional religion fused with Christianity is impacting on a very small proportion of children’s lives in the Akwa Ibom case. I choose this case as I cannot cover every state. There are other known states in Nigeria like Cross River where this has been a problem. It is a criminal act today in Nigeria to promote child witch hunting and this was banned in 2008, but things are slow on the ground and moving slowly to improve and we need more help and support to eliminate this illegal act.

During the colonial rule traditional practises were targeted such as traditional religion and sacrificial practices but this has re-emerged in recent times.

There are false ministers who also maybe looking for financial gain in some Pentecostal and Charismatic Christian church's also and some may use traditional practises also that call for animal sacrifice or another ritual ceremony such as the disposal of possessions or marking the child with animal blood. Instead of being called a witch, some people may be called a demon by outdated people as well for having the condition-such as was the case of Rev Rachel Noel when she was ordained and was diagnosed with autism. Some may tell family members that their loved one are witches this can drive wedges between family members. These services can be arranged privately and take place not during normal service and can become hidden.

People can pay sums of money to ministers in hope that they can remove their loved out of this supernatural realm by being used as a witch/demon agent. These children may experience numerous deliverances as well or exorcisms which are not needed which can leave them exhausted and confused an akin to a mere skeleton which may cloud their mind with fear that they have been a tool of the devil and built to be as well. This is scheming and mind games as well.

This can no doubt cause some family members to reject or abuse their loved ones and drive them away and become exiled from their home. This situation can be experienced worse due to poverty and disability which can cause some people to end up blaming other people for all their so called bad luck. It is often extremely difficult to be disabled in a lower income country where support can be hard to find or not available. I have seen young people on skateboards and an amputee trying to find income on the streets, at 25 it was a disturbing sight to see for the first time.

A centre called CRARN and an organisation called Stepping Stones Nigeria have emerged to deal with this challenge. There are other special needs schools which have been set up to provide education and humane treatment for individuals meeting this group. The Patrick School of Languages in Nigeria is an example of one such school that has been established form the efforts of a parent whose child experienced discrimination being told they their child was a spiritual attack and they was discriminated.

The governor of Akwa Ibom state passed the Child’s Rights act so that people could be prosecuted that demonise and stigmatise a child in such a manner. This does just not happen to children but I am focusing on children in this blog post. The enactment of the Child’s Right act did not stop all cases from happening as people close ranks to make it harder for them to be made accountable to the law. There was also a case in the UK in 2006 when a child’s body was found in the River Thames. The police named this child ‘Adam’ police did believe that this murder was ritual related.

Using conflict resolution the children that are abandoned by their parents in such centres I do think that it would be beneficial if such parents were counselled in a group by a minister over a few days in faith that can point out to the flaws in their thinking. Their beliefs do need to be challenged. Returning to the community might be difficult and if there is a head of a village they should try in mediate in this situation as they are normally respected in their communities. Also if these children cannot return home from fear of attack from other members in the village I would suggest that relocating them might help to unite parent and child. Also, banning such films that may encourage this sort of abuse I do believe is also a good idea.

I have given my life to life to Christ who I work voluntary for by documenting my life experience with my faith online and also by working as a hospital chaplain volunteer and activity coordinator once a week in a hospital and also do voluntary gardening at church-this topic is important to me. I do not have children of my own. I will not have children of my own, let’s see what we can do to help. If you feel moved by this topic-why not help them.

I hit my button again and donated today for the second time to CRARN which link you will find below. God has said we should be involved in justice and humanitarian issues and dismantling them. One of the five missions of the church is to support injustice.

Let’s see what we can do to help. If you feel moved by this topic-why not help them.

I have suffered from religious and spiritual abuse in my life.

This culture of abuse needs to be stopped. There is a way out of religious abuse and you can seek support. In Nigeria children with autism have more neurological issues with it.

What does it mean for a Christian to judge?
Example: fornication.
This poll regards the interpretation of Rom 2:1

Romans 2:1 KJV
1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

Many students of the scripture think this pertains to the Jews. ALL the Jews.
Reading the verse by itself, it seems to be speaking to everyone who might judge another. I disagree. The first word of the verse is "Therefore" which would mean "in light of what was previously discussed." This refers to the previous chapter, where Paul articulates a long list of behaviours by sinners. The final verse says:

Romans 1:32 KJV
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Romans 2:1 speaks to these people. They were rank sinners whose sins were so bad that they deserved death. Paul would seem to be saying that these sinners should not judge others who do the same things they were doing.

Romans
1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

Over and over we see this. There is no accountability.

I received my St. Dymphna Chaplet today and already had it blessed. I even prayed on it once.
How often are you supposed to pray on them per day? I assume the answer is how often you want to.
I knew something religious that my priest didn’t know. He asked me If St. Dymphna was a patron saint for the eyes and I said “no, mental illness.” He then told me she’s also for the eyes which I was fairly positive she isn’t, but I didn’t want to argue with a priest and especially didn’t want to find out later that I was wrong.
I came home and googled it. I was right.

Summary Acts 1:1-26; Acts 2:1-13

Jesus Christ had died on a cross, risen from the dead, appeared to many for about 40 days, and then was taken up to heaven to be with God the Father. But before he left he commanded his followers to wait for the promised Holy Spirit whom he would send to them. He told them that they would receive power when the Holy Spirit came upon them, and that they would be his witnesses locally and nearby, and to the remotest part of the earth. And all his followers were continually devoting themselves to prayer, while waiting.

At this time Peter stood up in the midst of Christ’s followers (a gathering of about 120 people) and he spoke about Judas, who had betrayed Jesus, and of Judas’ death, and of the need to select another to take his place. Matthias was the one chosen, and he was added to the eleven apostles.

Now it was the day of Pentecost, and they were all together in one place. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance. A crowd gathered, and they were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in their own language. They heard them in their own languages speaking of the mighty deeds of God, and they were amazed and perplexed as to what this could mean. But others were mocking and accusing them of being drunk.

Peter’s Response


This quoted section above is only a portion of Peter’s response, but this is the part I will focus on in this writing. So, Peter was saying to the doubters that what they were seeing take place was a fulfillment of what the prophet Joel prophesied (Joel 2:28-32) many years before Jesus Christ was born, that these things would take place in the last days. And we are still in these last days, and these things are still taking place in our day and time, although they are presently being refuted by many doubters. But…

Our Rule of Thumb


This is our “rule of thumb” (accurate guide or principle) we are to follow in these cases. We are not to quench the Spirit by despising (deriding, hating) prophetic utterances, but we are to examine everything carefully against the teachings of the New Testament Scriptures, as a whole, in their correct biblical context, to see whether or not these prophesies (including dreams and visions) are of God, or if they are of the flesh, which we can tell if they totally contradict the teachings of Christ and of his New Testament apostles.

And sadly, there is so much fakery going on today in this area that it does tend to lead Christians, as the majority, to not even want to consider that God might still be speaking to his servants via dreams and visions and prophecies. But please know, also, that to prophesy is not mainly about predicting the future, but it is about sharing the truths of the Scriptures in practical ways which can be applied to our lives today, which is relevant to our present culture. It means merely to speak forth the words of God.

And the purpose of prophesy is to be for the spiritual encouragement and maturity of the body of believers in Jesus Christ. It is taking the teachings of the Scriptures and making them relevant to what is going on in our world and in the church today, and giving out the messages that are most needed in these critical times we are in right now. This includes constructive criticism and instruction that builds a person up to be a suitable dwelling place of God, via dying with Christ to sin and obeying his commands, in practice.

[Romans 6:1-23 Luke 9:23-26; Romans 12:1-8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; 1 Corinthians 14:1-5; Galatians 6:1; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:1-16; Ephesians 5:15-21; Ephesians 6:10-20; Philippians 2:1-8; Colossians 3:12-16; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:13; Hebrews 10:23-25; James 5:19-20]

Oh, to Be Like Thee, Blessed Redeemer

Lyrics by Thomas O. Chisholm, 1897
Music by W. J. Kirkpatrick, 1897

Oh, to be like Thee! blessèd Redeemer,
This is my constant longing and prayer;
Gladly I’ll forfeit all of earth’s treasures,
Jesus, Thy perfect likeness to wear.

Oh, to be like Thee! full of compassion,
Loving, forgiving, tender and kind,
Helping the helpless, cheering the fainting,
Seeking the wandering sinner to find.

O to be like Thee! lowly in spirit,
Holy and harmless, patient and brave;
Meekly enduring cruel reproaches,
Willing to suffer others to save.

O to be like Thee! while I am pleading,
Pour out Thy Spirit, fill with Thy love;
Make me a temple meet for Thy dwelling,
Fit me for life and Heaven above.

Oh, to be like Thee! Oh, to be like Thee,
Blessèd Redeemer, pure as Thou art;
Come in Thy sweetness, come in Thy fullness;
Stamp Thine own image deep on my heart.

Local grandmother held by ICE over $25 bad check from 10 years ago​

Jim, a veteran, and Donna, a full-time health care worker, married about eight years ago. A simple life of faith, family and friends. Jim says she’s the first to help others in times of trouble.

Donna, an Irish citizen, came to the U.S. when she was just 11 years old. She is a legal resident alien, or green card carrier, but not a U.S. citizen.

All was well, Jim says, until July. While in Ireland for a family funeral, on the way back at customs in Chicago, Donna was arrested.

“You don’t arrest 58-year-old grandmothers. It’s just wrong. She hasn’t committed crimes. You just don’t do that,” he said.

[To be fair, she did commit a crime.]

Ten years ago, Donna wrote a bad check, charging documents say, for $25. She was a single mom.

She paid it back and got probation. But Jim says the U.S. government is suddenly arguing that was a crime of moral turpitude.

[She was moved from Missouri to a county jail in Kentucky, where she's cooled her heels the past 30 days.]

Title says it call. Here's a link to the news story:

California woman faces 5 felonies for registering dog to vote

I'm glad they included photos. If you see them please report them to ICE.

The Federal Trade Commission and Utah authorities have ordered the owner of Pornhub to pay a $5 million penalty for hosting content on the website that includes child abuse and other nonconsensual behavior.

A stipulated order for permanent injunction was filed last week in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, requiring Pornhub's parent company Aylo (formerly known as MindGeek) and its affiliated companies to implement and enforce better policies regarding illicit content on the website.

Pornhub has been ordered, among other things, to suspend all content featuring child sex abuse material and nonconsensual material, implement "comprehensive procedures" to stop the publication and dissemination of such materials, have its prevention efforts periodically reviewed by a third party, receive an annual certification on prevention, and improve its privacy security.

FinCEN (Financial Crime Enforcement Network) is issuing a notice on the increase in financial motivated Sextortion cases. Often this cases involve the perpetrator of fraud targeting underage males (mostly teen boys). The crime can lead to devastating effects on the family. In some cases it has lead to the suicide of the victim, with the perpetrator encouraging the victim to commit suicide. I have worked a few cases and they are quite unpleasant.

Here is FinCEN's press release. Here is the notice itself.

Often the perpetrators, at least in the cases I've worked on, are in primarily the Philippines or West Africa (mostly the Ivory Coast).

It did have something to do with outer space but only concerned me I think.

I got a job around that date! And not just a job. It was a good job in a good company!

And guess what!!?? Their products looked exactly like spacecraft (rocket) engines!! In this way, it did have something to do with outer space! In the dream, I was told it's a gift so hopefully, fingers crossed, it stays! Ironically, the company did send me a gift of their products.

Incredibly uncanny!
