Evangelicals' Anti-Christ Deception

The prevailing view of most American evangelicals: the "Christian p.c." of the American Church: is that Anti-Christ is very near. He will be a world-uniting political-religious leader empowered by, and entirely in the spirit of, satan. He will be a miracle-working false Christ so accomplished and so attractive that the world will rush to follow him: so pleasing in every human way that he will "lead astray, if possible, the elect."

All of that is true, attested by scripture. Evangelicals' deception regards Anti-Christ is self-deception. We expect Anti-Christ's coming to be a super-dramatic event on the world stage a la the "Left Behind" series, which Christians can spiritually recognize and flee. But maybe scripture is right, that the spirit of anti-Christ is already at work...the father of lies even now spreading rebellion, blasphemy, and apostasy.

For a generation evangelicals have followed teachers of "Christian" lies like David Barton, because they want to believe America is a "Christian" nation. They followed (and still revere) a "Christian" leader who told them that government is evil: contrary scripture which says government is "...a minister of God to you for good" (Romans 13). They followed another of that faction (who claims he was personally converted to Christianity by Billy Graham), who proclaimed to the world that America (not Jesus) is the "light of the world." Less than a year ago, evangelicals voted overwhelmingly their heart's-desire to be led by the priest of a demon who claims to be "Jesus."

Evangelicals deceive themselves that they will spiritually recognize Anti-Christ when he comes: their actions show otherwise. The American Church lies to itself that it will stand against Anti-Christ, when so far it has completely embraced his spirit of lies, rebellion, blasphermy, and apostasy.

May God open the Church' spiritual eyes !!

All Things New

God makes all things new. (Revelation 21:5)

Man's "conservative" impulse is to save what we think is good from our past. For those who've been "...rescued...from the domain of darkness, and transferred...to the kingdom of His beloved Son..." (Colossians 1:13), it's hard to see what good there is to carry into our new life.

The "conservative" impulse can be a means of opposing God. The Pharisees of Jesus' time are a prime example.
