BACK TO THE BEGINNING
Genesis 1:26 says, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” To be made in the image and likeness of God is multifaceted. Scripture, of course, makes it clear that man is not divine or a part of God, and it would be wrong for us to think so. However, it would also be wrong to minimize man to something he is not by stripping him of the abilities and attributes God has given him. So, even though Adam fell, man still has a soul. And man still has the ability to choose and to reason. These attributes were not taken from man when Adam fell as is very evident by simple observation. In Scripture, God commands the sinner to reason, to choose, and to repent. God’s grace operates in our lives in a viable active way (not a passive way).

I believe that the Antichrist is coming out from the gentile world but is of Jewish descent not only because that’s the only way it will be accepted by the Jews as their Messiah, but also because the Bible mentions few things that point to that direction:
Gospel according to John, Chapter 5: Read &/or listen from the Bible.
1/ Jesus healing in Bethesda, John 5:1-15 (see video)
2/ The Authority of the Son, John 5:16-23
3/ John 5:26-27 Son of Man
4/ John 5:28-30 Resurrection
5/ John 5:31-38 Bear Witness
6/ John 5:39-47 Search the Scriptures
When reading superficially & not deeply studying the Scriptures it’s easy to take them out of context. For this reason it’s necessary to better refrain from teaching the Word of God to a group of people (this isn’t witnessing) or become Bible teachers without understanding the whole counsel of God first.
One of the main responsibility of Bible teachers, church leaders & any mature Christian is to protect the truth of the Gospel from false teachings. This includes the misuse of many bible verses by some denominations, but the abuse of misquoted Scriptures still continues until these days.
Psalm 27 – A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
