Nowhere in Scripture do we find a singularized capital A Antichrist.
Goes to show me how much you know the scriptures. I know you don't care jgr, and I know you won't accept being debunked. Stay out of denial and deal with it
On another thread jgr said,
I'm just ecstatic to have made it on to your list, and am eagerly anticipating being a debunkee. That will be a new experience for me.

jgr thinks 'antichrist' always indicates a plurality of persons and that there's no such thing as one man emerging in the last days. He says the end-time 'anti-Christ' isn't a person and is never called "the anti-Christ" in scripture, saying that it's a 'spirit' and NOT an individual.
jgr says he's never been debunked, well he just stepped into it, he's NOT paying attention to the verse.
The anti-Christ is called the "man of sin and the lawless one." He IS one individual since there are several times personal pronouns are used to describe him. He SITS in the Temple, etc.
1John 2:18 has one word for antichrist that is singular, the other plural, and wasn't translated correctly in the KJV.
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that (THE) antichrist (singular) shall come, even now are there many antichrists; (plural) whereby we know that it is the last time.
The verse actually reads in the Greek interlinear like this...
Little boys and girls, it is the last hour and according as ye hear that
THE "instead-anointed" (singular/antichrist) is coming and now many instead anointeds (plural/antichrist) have become.....
The end-time anti-Christ is likely the Islamic dajjal. The Madhi is likely the false prophet. The Muslim Jesus is just that. A false Christ.
jgr, at this link you can see that the word 'antichrist' is SINGULAR, and the word THE is used with it, "the anti-christ."

Over a dozen bible translations use the word 'the' in the translation of 1 John 2:18. Like the NIV does...
"Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard
that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour."
I would actually interpret this verse like this,
"Many antichrist have come, and the antichrist is coming, that's how you will know it's the last hour."
The translations that omit the word THE do so mistakenly and really do a disservice to the understanding of the verse. The 1611 translators omitted it because it IS in the Greek interlinear. As simple as dropping the word 'THE' usually isn't something that changes things very much, but in this case, and with this argument it does. In every aspect I study this, I never walk away believing this is a plurality of persons. i.e. "many anti-Christ." Especially when personal pronouns are used to describe this man elsewhere.
in which the word appears, it is decapitalized, in recognition that it does not refer to a singularized individual. T
How do you come up with that?
Until historical Reformation truth is recognized and reclaimed, the delusion and deception of a futurized singularized Antichrist will continue to be perpetuated.
You're the deludional one if you don't accept these results. The first word for ANTICHRIST is singular and preceded by the word THE, i.e. THE ANTICHRIST
2 Thessalonians 2:4 -
Who opposeth and exalteth
himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that
he as God
sitteth in the temple of God, shewing
himself that he is God.
Revelation 19:20 - And the beast was taken,
and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.
These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 - Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
