Yes it does, cricket, anthing that isn’t with Christ, is anti-Christ.
To make no bones about it, before one is saved by Christ, our very thoughts are “anti-Christ”!~
Just hope he (and anyone else not a “Chistian” in the Biblical terms and meaning of the word) become “born-again”!
Well, think that a 'broad brush' that expands (and neutralizes, to some extent) what Howse is referencing here. Antichrist is heavy with meaning; when used 'in serious' against someone. You are saying; anyone not born again is 'anti-Christic' - period.
Have to say I put that ascription on same level those the Muslim make against those who do not believe in Koran; and so are reduced to being known as 'infidels' - and unequivocally so.
Do not believe all thought - pre born again - is anti-Christ in nature. No way would I accept that; save as an insult to God, perhaps.
To the contrary; believe we begin; as God's creation - metaphorically speaking - 'in the Garden'. That we rest in the 'good'; which is why; when we witness a heinous act; we first try to make ' Good sense' of what we see; believe to be unfolding. ("I thought a movie was being made; I cannot believe what I saw; I never imagined . ..etc. examples of evil stimulus and 'innocent' response). Resting in that good; we are torn from it daily. . .and often leave it by our own will and cognizance i.e. 'willful ignorance'. Faith restores us to that 'Good'.
IMHO; every deliverance from evil, IMHO;. . .is a born-again experience. But of course, there are more 'formalized' versions of this per Christian experience and acceptance - and Faith. And do not intend to diminish either per your own belief and/or experience.
