1 JOHN: 1:18-23. “Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they belonged to us, they would have remained with us but their goings showed that none of them belonged to us.
But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar? It is the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such one is the antichrist- he denies the Father and the Son. No one denies the Son has the Father, whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also!”.
John lived in the last days, and so do we. During this time, antichrists (false teachers who pretend to be Christians and who lure weak members away from Christ) will appear. Finally just before the world ends, one great antichrist will arise (Revelation 13;19:20;20:10). We do not need to fear these evil people, however. The Holy Spirit shows us their errors, so we will not be deceived. However, we must teach God’s Word clearly and carefully to the peripheral, weak members among us so they won’t fall prey to these teachers who “come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves” (Matthew 7:15).
The antichrists are not total strangers to the church; they once had been in the church, but they did not really belong to it. It is clear that their reasons for joining in the first place were wrong. Some people may call themselves Christians for less than the best reasons. Perhaps going to church is a family tradition. Maybe they like the social and business contacts they make there. Possibly, going to church is a long -standing habit, and they never stopped to ask themselves why they do it. What is your main reason for being a Christian? Unless it is a Christ-centered reason, you may not belong. You don’t have to settle for less than the best. You can become personally acquainted with Jesus Christ and become a loyal, trustworthy follower.
A person who accepts Christ as God’s son, however, accepts God the Father at the same time. Many cultists today call themselves Christians, but deny that Jesus is Divine. We must expose these heresies and oppose such teachings so that the weak believers among us do not succumb to their teachings.
Jesus is the truth (John 14:6), and the Holy Spirit guides believers to him (John16:13). People who are opposed to his truth and the Holy Spirit is not working in their lives. When we are led by the Spirit, we can stand against false teachers and antichrist. Ask the Spirit to guide you each day.

KSB: I have argued several times that KSB should not be used to fight individual wars but for productive exchange. Technically, everybody is a gossiper and it is the degree and intensity that varies. People grow up with time so let us be tolerant towards one another.
