Although i do not believe in the bible or the Antichrist i will answer this question as best i can.
In the bible Jesus says there will be many who try to deceive the world into thinking they are the Christ. This would be encompass many people over the years..one example would be Adolf Hitler.
However the word Antichrist simply means that it is someone who is against Jesus Christ. So in fact anyone who disagrees with Christianity would be a Antichrist.
I wouldn't put it so lightly as "disagreeing,"
but that is to a degree true.
I think it would be more along the lines
of the people who not only disagree,
but encourage others to disagree as well.
I believe that "Christ" is just another term like Buddha which means enlightened one. Therefore Antichrist would mean one who is opposed to the enlightened one. Or in a broader sense a person who is opposed to another person who is enlightened.
I believe there are many "Christs" and "Antichrists" living among us at this time. Look at the way of the world in fact when it is boiled down each or us is one or the other. I think the important thing to do is figure out that which you are.
Do you seek enlightenment or do you seek to be opposed to those who are enlightened? Do you merely disagree with others and let bygones be bygones or do you wish to destroy those who do not agree with you? Are you willing to live in peace or do you wish to fight? There are many crossroads one will come to before they know that which they are.
I think, by your post, kts,
most people would be in between.
It's not black and white,
it's not either you are enlightened or you're against the enlightened,
there is the gray.
The gray would be the people who are not enlightened,
but also not against the enlightened,
many of which may be trying to enlighten themselves as well.
From a Christian perspective I think this theory
(or point of view, I think I should say,)
would be incorrect as "Christ" would refer specifically to Jesus.
Everything is gray until you boil it down to either black or white. It is true almost all of us would be in the gray throughout most of our lives, however there comes a time in our lives that one shade becomes more vivid than the other.
As with "Christ" referring to Jesus Christ that is in the eye of the beholder. There is no historical reference anywhere but the bible and other religious documents to a Jesus Christ. The only none religious texts of a Christ are in roman government documents. None of these states a name though just simply the title Christ.
Thus the use of the words,
"from a Christian perspective,"
since Christians would likely follow the Bible on this topic.
I would like to look at those Roman documents though.
I haven't heard of such documents mentioning Christ until now.
Any links to where I could look them up,
or maybe a book that I could find at the local library?
hi folks
just a snippet be careful when viewing christ remember in the 325 the conference of nicae inluded and excluded what was considered acceptable for the formation of a consensus on christianity the bible as we know it has therefore been heavly censored by this conclave therefore if the truth of the story of christ has been corrupted and manipulated all other associated topics antichrist devil e.t.c role of the church have been re altered accordingly to suit the finished product
a further rewrite took place in 384 after the formation of the catholic church no doutbt there have been many additions and subtractions to the scriptures over the centuries
