Antichrist

The term "antichrist" seems to have taken on a fantastic meaning.

But it's really very simple: "anti" means against and "Christ" means annointed one.

In 2:18, John explains clearly and simply that anyone who speaks against Jesus and his relationship to the Father is an antichrist.

Lord, please protect me from attacks by antichrists. They're everywhere, questioning my faith and my intellect.

Dear Reader, how can an intelligent person like you believe in all of this resurrection stuff? How can you take the story of Easter seriously?

I know I do, but I'm challenged to support my position.
