Because of the hideous and evil abuses of the Catholic Church for centuries, a number of popes were deemed "Antichrists," including Clement VII. Anyone who claims that Jesus Christ never existed could also be called "Antichrist," a title that eminent philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was proud to claim, because he viewed "Christ" as an oppression. Although many people have been persecuted for denying Jesus Christ, Christ himself is made to say, "And every one who speaks a word against the Son of man will be forgiven" (Lk. 12:10). It is clear from biblical writings that during the first centuries of the Christian era, numerous "Christs" were running about the Roman world, jockeying for position. These individuals were such a threat to the "true" Christ's representatives that they felt the need to dispense with the competition by forging the Epistles of John sometime during the second century: "Children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come." (1 Jn. 2:18) Walker relates the true meaning of "antichrist": "Antichrist was the Christian equivalent of the Chaldean Aciel, lord of the nether world, counterbalancing the solar god of heaven." In other words, Christ is the sun and the Antichrist is the night sky. == Acharya S Archaeologist, Historian, Mythologist, Linguist, Humanist Minister Member, American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Greece Associate Director, Institute for Historical Accuracy http://www.artnet.net/~acharya/truth If you are interested in a free subscription to The Konformist Newswire, please visit http://www.eGroups.com/list/konformist/ and sign up.
