Antichrist and the Red Heifer

It seems to me that all the speculation about red heifers and antichrist 
has become hyper-supposal.  

I did not grow up in Pentecost but came into this great one God Apostolic 
way about twenty years ago.  I saw the truth and obeyed its commands and 
have never regretted one minute my decision. 

I was taught to believe the bible.  My Pastor said Trinity wasn’t in the 
bible and He was right.  The word nor the concept could be found 
anywhere.  He told me to look for it and I obeyed the man of God.  

Couldn’t find anything remotely close to the trinity.  I concluded it was 
not a biblical doctrine but an answer to a theological question of Father 
Son and Holy Ghost.  A wrong answer I might add.

Now concerning Antichrist and the red heifer and all, I find that the 
very same people that promote the Bible as the only source in which to 
grow in faith are taking on the same unbiblical arguments as the 
Trinitarians to justify their beliefs.

Look at the scriptures I’ve listed, notice there are only four scriptures 
that use the word Antichrist.  They are all found in 1,2,3 John, who it 
happens is the scribe of Revelation, which does not have the word 
Antichrist found in any chapter.  

Some would say, yea the word is not there but the concept is....same 
argument as the Trinitarian and it holds no water, no matter who is 
saying it.  John is the scribe of all these letters and yet is very 
precise to use the word in a very pointed manner.  

I Jn 2:18-19  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard 
that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby 
we know that it is the last time.  They went out from us, but they were 
not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued 
with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they 
were not all of us.”

Notice, THEY (antichrist) went out from us THEY(antichrist) were not of 
us, if THEY (antichrist)had been of us.....etc.  you get the picture.  
Antichrist in Johns writing is They not he. 

I Jn 2:22	Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the 
Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”

Do the Jews deny that Jesus is the Christ?  Yet I read some posts that 
postulated they are just ignorant and not really against Christ at all.  
Go and find yourself a Jew and ask Him if Jesus is the Christ.  Ask those 
men that are trying to get red heifers and all the temple mount material 
together if Jesus is the Christ.  

He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son.  Some would 
misinterpret this to mean that John is writing about the trinity.  No way 
hosea, the trinity was not a consideration for years to come.  The Jews 
believed and still do that God is their Father, but they deny that the 
Son has come.  John says they are liars and antichrist.  He that denieth, 
meaning whoever, as many as deny are antichrist.
 
I Jn 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come 
in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, 
whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in 
the world.” 

Then John talks about the spirit of Antichrist as if it is an attitude.

II Jn 1:7 	For many deceivers are entered into the world, who 
confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver 
and an antichrist. “

Here is the answer to the sect that said Jesus did not come in the flesh, 
They are antichrist also.

So who is Antichrist.  All those that deny that Jesus is the Christ.  Are 
the Jews Antichrist.  It is John that has the opinion that they are, 
while some apostolic’s say they are Gods chosen and even elect?

What?  How can this be?  Apostolic calling antichrist the elect?  In a 
word nonsense.  You cannot have the Jew be Gods chosen and have the Bible 
say they are antichrist all in one breath.  They are antichrist or they 
are Gods chosen but certainly not both.
