Jesus warned us of false teachers who would call themselves christians and deny the very central tenets of the faith. It is perhaps better for someone who IS a christian not to call themselves christian than for someone who is a false teacher to call themselves a christian so they can poison the well of the faith. Jesus was vehement in his denunciation of false teachers & heretics, and so I follow in His steps on this issue.
The very first sentence of this thread:
“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son” (1 John 2:22).
And also in this thread...
John identifies antichrists, ... they specifically deny the living, personal Holy Trinity in favor of Gnostic pagan, immanent or Eastern pantheist conceptions.
Take a pill, psycho.
