Dear Editor,
Elaine Hope, in her effort to identify the antichrist, quoted several scripture passages but instead of speculating she should consult the Bible for explanations. I will share some of them with her, as her translation may not carry explanatory notes.
(1) 1 John 2:18; "A collectivity of persons here related to false teachers."
(2) 1 John 4:1; "deception is possible in spiritual phenomenon and may be tested in relation to Christian doctrines."
(3) 1 Timothy 4:1: doctrinal deviation from the Christian message within the Church is prophesied."
Question: Is Sabbath-keeping not deviation from the Christian message? Of all the churches established by the various apostles all over the ancient world and still in existence today, point me to one which observes Sabbath or where any Christian community ever assembled for worship on Sabbath.
Hope teaches that the Catholic Church changed Sabbath to Sunday while the Bible records the Apostles, whom Jesus commissioned to teach all nations, Matthew 28:19-20. He who obeys you obeys me and also he that sends me, and he who rejects you rejects me and also he that sends me, worshipping on Sunday, the Lord's Day.
History records the apostles commanding the converts to worship on the Lord's Day, see Didache and all historical records, including Encyclopaedia Britannica, says Sunday worship started with the Apostles. Isn't that deviation from the Christian message?
Hope teaches that the Catholic Church is the harlot of Babylon, while the Bible says it is Jerusalem. Revelation 11:8 the great city where the Lord was crucified. Revelation17:18. The woman represents the great city. Are these false teachings?
In the light of these facts, which do you think can be characterised as antichrist?
