It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. “To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.” (Romans 9:5, ESV) The "Christ" is "God over all". The one who denies Jesus is "God over all", denies He is the Christ. Satan's Witnesses ("Jehovah's Witnesses") deny the Christ is God over all. This is consistent with the definition of an antichrist. Therefore, Satan's Witnesses are antichrists. “waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,” (Titus 2:13, ESV) The "Christ" is our "great God and Savior". Satan's Witnesses deny Jesus is our "great God". Therefore, Satan's Witnesses are antichrists. Philippians 2:10-11 declares "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow... and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." This passage applies the exclusive prophecy of Yahweh from Isaiah 45:23 ("To Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath") directly to the identity of Jesus Christ, confirming that the Christ possesses the very name and status of God. Satan's Witnesses deny Jesus is YHWH God. Therefore, Satan's Witnesses are antichrists. > Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son."

Therefore, Satan's Witnesses are antichrists. > (2) Persons who deny that Jesus is the Son of God. (1 John 2:22; Lu > 9:35) Matthew 16:16 records the confession of Peter: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus immediately blesses Peter, stating that this was revealed directly by the Father in heaven. In the scriptures, the title "Son of God" denotes equality in nature with God, as shown in John 5:18, where the critics sought to kill Jesus because He called God His Father, "making Himself equal with God." Mark 14:61-62 records the high priest asking Jesus, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?" Jesus responds, "I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." By applying the Messianic prophecy of Daniel 7:13-14 to Himself as "the Christ," Jesus claims divine authority and the right to receive worship, which the high priest immediately recognizes as a claim to deity, tearing his clothes and accusing Jesus of blasphemy. The reason the Jews tried to kill Jesus for blasphemy, because He claimed to be the son of God. This is because they understood He was "making Himself equal with God". Satan's Witnesses deny Jesus is equal with God. Satan's Witnesses are antichrists. -- Good News † Jesus is God: christrose.news/Jesus-God. The message that Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead is the only true, saving gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:8-9). Any other message is false and condemns people to conscious, eternal torment in the lake of fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; John 3:18-19; Revelation 14:11; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:14-15). Denying that Jesus is God guarantees you will die in your sins (John 8:24). Christ bore our sins on the cross to clear our debt before God (Colossians 2:14), and His resurrection stands as proof of that finished work (Romans 1:4). Now, God justly forgives those who believe (Romans 3:26), granting escape from His impending judgment (1 Thessalonians 1:10). This mercy is a free gift accessible only through faith (Romans 6:23). If you believe this truth, call upon the Lord to save you today (Romans 10:9-13): How to be saved: christrose.news/salvation
