A @Christadelphians Video: Description: Antichrist is anyone who opposes Jesus Christ and his message. From the time of the apostles in the first century, many false christs, false teachers and false prophets arose – and they all came from the original believers in Christ. As a result, false religious groups were created, the gospel truth was corrupted and religion discredited. The apostle John warns us to test teachers and their doctrines with the teaching of the Bible: “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”
