THE RELIGION OF ANTICHRIST

correctly, antichrist is not a single man who shall suddenly appear upon the

among men. But it is my desire and responsibility to tell you the truth and to
warn you of the deceptive delusion of antichrist religion. Love for the honor
of God, love for the truth of God, and love for your souls constrains me to
speak plainly. Any doctrine that LOWERS THE CHARACTER OF GOD, his total
sovereignty, his absolute righteousness, or his strict justice is antichrist. Any doctrine that EXALTS AND HONORS HUMAN FLESH is antichrist.
Any doctrine that DEMINISHES OR ADDS TO the finished work of our Lord
Jesus Christ, his righteousness, his satisfaction, his intercession, or his
efficacy, is antichrist. And any doctrine that ATTRIBUTES SALVATION IN ANY
MEASURE TO THE WILL OF MAN OR THE WORKS OF MAN is antichrist. All who
preach these things are antichrists. All who believe these things are
antichrists. All who support these things are antichrist.
