Which of the following verses is the Roman Church, or Roman Church doctrine guilty of transgressing?
1Jn 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1Jn 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1Jn 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
So here we have a video that claims Catholicism is antichrist. Yet as we can see from the above verses Catholicism does not meet the Scriptural definition of antichrists. Instead they show error in Catholic doctrine and then use that coupled with their man made definition of antichrist to condemn Catholicism. Show me which one of the 4 verses that tell us about antichrist says that doctrinal error makes one an antichrist. If it did then all of us would be in trouble. None of us have perfect doctrine.
As for their claim that Catholicism changed times it is ridiculous. Changing the day of worship did not change time Saturday is still Saturday and Sunday is still Sunday. While it is true that the length of the year was changed from 365.25 to 365.2425 days. This change is only Approximately 11 minutes in a year. Had this change not been made we in the northern hemisphere would have seen the coldest months of the year go from being in Jan/Feb to being in July/Aug over the course of about 2400 years. The correction to the calendar is basically the same reason that when the Jews used a 360 day year they occasionally had to add an extra month to keep the seasons matching the calendar. Even with this minor adjustment in the calendar we would still be in the same year2011.
As for as the law goes the Catholics do teach the ten commandments. Some may be guilty of breaking some of those commandments at times (just as people from all faiths do) but that doesn’t make them antichrists, just sinners. We all fall short.
Start with a misconception and build on it and the error will compound. If we use man’s definition of “in place of” or “against” then every one (not just the Catholics) would be antichrist. We have all fallen short, at times we have all gone “against” God and sinned. Does that make us antichrists or does it just prove that we humans (Catholics included) all fall short?.
