FOR THERE ARE MANY ANTICHRISTS Chris discusses the epistle of 1 John and its application to the Church's condition in America today. The apostle confronted the early Gnostic movement that was determined to mingle the pagan immorality of the ancient world with the teachings of Jesus Christ -- not unlike the current trend among professing "Christian" pastors and churches who are teaching "Gay Christianity." Is it possible to live a life in open rebellion to the commandments of God and still be justified? What does John tell us about those who live their lives that way? Should we embrace them as fellow believers? Or warn them that the Christ they follow is, in reality, an anti-Christ? And with the message of love and tolerance being used as the means for embracing immoral practices, what does it mean to respond with the love of God?
