When you preach the Cross, modern-day churchianity will hate you, persecute you; even going so far as to claim you have a devil, because they’ve realized that you will not help to promote them, their gifts, talents and abilities. We claim to love God, but hate people. Yet, to love God implies that we know God; and if we truly know God, share intimate intercourse and discourse with Him, then how is it that we can hate those whom He loves? Did He not so love the whole world that He gave His only begotten Son; and never to condemn the world, but that the world… through Him… would be saved?
Ah, claiming to love God, but hating people, is that very spirit of anti-Christ. Anti-Christ is a liar, full of confusion by mixture, alleging to love God, while hating people; when, in truth, the only god that it loves, worships, serves and promotes is Itself! Anti-Christ appears outwardly as if it is “pro-God”; but inwardly, it is staunchly anti-Love-of-Our-Father-toward-its-Brethren! Behold, anti-Christ in the Older Prodigal Son:
“And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: but as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. [*Luke 15: 28-30 (KJV)]”
Anti-Christ suffers from a raging identity crisis, and massive inferiority complex. It is, truly, a fearful, self-righteous, arrogant, condescending, pretentious, narcissistic spirit of mind or attitude of heart… within people. Anti-Christ turns everything into a competition with its Brother, showing no love toward its Brother. This makes spiritual sense, because to be in competition with another is to oppose them, as an adversary; and to be adversarial is to be satanic.
