    1 John 2:18 uses it both as a proper noun and as a generic noun, and nowadays “Antichrist” is more a colloquial name for the first beast of Revelation 13 even if that’s not directly what the text clearly calls him.

    Regardless, I agree Trump is very anti-Christ. Hard to read 1 John 4 and not see almost the opposite of him.

      As someone who was traumatized by reading the entire Left Behind series at roughly 8, it’s very upsetting to see how happy the evangelical Christian’s that have spent the last attacking LGBT people based on faith have fallen behind a serial philanderer who has very likely raped children. They threat him like a golden calf.

      Then again, I don’t know how one could read things like “when I was hungry you fed me” and vote against free school lunches or cutting EBT. I don’t believe in the divinity of Christ or any supernatural powers, but I don’t see how they don’t understand that they are acting like the “chaff.”
