**1. All biblical references to “antichrist” come only from John’s letters 聖經裡所有「敵基督」的經文只出現在約翰書信** 1 John 2:18 “You have heard that the antichrist is coming; even now many antichrists have appeared.” 「你們曾聽見那敵基督的要來；現在已經有好些敵基督的出來了。」 1 John 2:22 “Who is the liar? It is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son—this is the antichrist.” 「否認耶穌為基督的，否認父與子的，就是敵基督的。」 1 John 4:3 “Every spirit that does not confess Jesus… this is the spirit of the antichrist.” 「凡不認耶穌的靈……就是那敵基督者的靈。」 2 John 1:7 “Many deceivers have gone out into the world… such a person is the deceiver and the antichrist.” 「世上有許多迷惑人的……這就是那迷惑人者、敵基督的。」 👉  All four occurrences come from John; the biblical usage is narrow and precise. 👉  所有 4 次出現都來自約翰，聖經用法非常清楚且範圍有限。 **2. According to Scripture, “antichrist” is not one future figure 按照聖經，「敵基督」不是末世將出現的一個巨人** From the text we know: 從聖經我們知道： “Antichrist” refers to a kind of person, not one individual. 「敵基督」是一類人，而不是單一人物。 Those who deny ...

  From  Do Christians Sin? by  KYLE BUTT,  M.Div. A quick reading through the small epistle of 1 John reveals a number of verses that seem to disagree with each other. For instance, in 1 John 1:8,10 the author assures his readers that all people have sinned. In 2:1, John seems to indicate that even Christians will sin and therefore need Jesus Christ to be their advocate. Yet, 3:6 has John on record as saying: “Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.” In verse 8 of chapter 3, John wrote: “He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning.” And verse 9 states: “Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” Steve Wells, in his work,  The Skeptic’s Annotated Bible,  wrote concerning these verses in chapter 3: “Earlier in this letter (1:8,10) John assured us that everyone sins. Yet in these verses he claims that Chris...

Digest from  Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit—The "Unpardonable Sin" by  KYLE BUTT,  M.Div.  A Biblical Understanding of Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit 從聖經看褻瀆聖靈之罪的本質與範圍 ——— I. What the Unpardonable Sin Is  什麼是不可赦免的罪 Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the only sin described in the Bible as unpardonable or eternal. 褻瀆聖靈是聖經中唯一被稱為「不可赦免」的罪。 Jesus stated that every sin can be forgiven—except this one. 耶穌明確指出，除了這個罪以外，一切罪都可以得赦免。 Blasphemy means “speaking evil of,” and in this case, it was a sin of speech committed by the Pharisees. 「褻瀆」的意思是說惡話，而這裡指的是法利賽人的口舌之罪。 ——— II. What the Pharisees Did  法利賽人做了什麼 Jesus cast out demons by the Spirit of God (Matthew 12:28). 耶穌是靠著神的靈趕鬼。 The Pharisees could not deny the miracle, so they claimed He did it by the power of Satan. 法利賽人無法否認神蹟，卻說這是靠撒但的能力。 They attributed the work of the Holy Spirit to the devil. 他們把聖靈的工作歸給魔鬼。 This specific act is what Jesus identified as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. 這正是耶穌所說的褻瀆聖靈之罪。 ——— III. ...

From: TFTW Bible College              But, now someone says, “I have heard, and I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and I repented of my sins, and I confessed, and then I was baptized. What if I do all of these steps, but, I still make mistakes and I still sin? Do I need to do all of these things again? Do I need to go through these steps every time I sin?” The answer to these questions is also found in God’s Word. In  Acts 8  there was a man named Simon, who was a magician in Samaria. He had been tricking the people and fooling them into giving him their money. But Philip went and preached to him, and to the people of Samaria. Simon heard what was said, he had a change of heart, he repented of his sinful lifestyle, and he was baptized. But then he made a mistake and he sinned. Peter, who had come down to Samaria, saw the whole thing. The Christian continues to repent of sins,  confess them to God,  and ...
