Was Jesus the Antichrist?
How can any man (human physical existence) have other men and women bowing down to them in dedication and adoration?
And how can other men and women be foolish enough to do it?
Over 7000 years ago in Ur, a religious type practice was observed; here there was not one God, but many Gods, perhaps hundreds. This is the area vacated by Abram and his family when he went off to found the nation of Israel. Before he left, however, he decided to show the power of these Mesopotamian Gods by smashing the clay based idols into many pieces and went in search of a new land with a new God that was not made of clay.
I am not going to write Bible passages or verses, because there is no need to, but the story of Abram gives rise to the most published book in the history of the world; the Holy Bible.
Now for the first time in recorded history the story of God and his creation becomes told; no more are there idols of clay, of bronze, of gold or any material that men should bow down to.
In fact the God of creation never asked man to bow down to him at all!
So from this beginning began a belief that which today, through one religion or another, (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) would control over 80% of the worlds religious beliefs.
Of the three religions mentioned Judaism and Islam hold much in common with each other and although they give praise and dedication to God, God is not represented by a statue or idol of any kind; he (figuratively) is simply worshiped as a God without actual identity but with the attributes of all creation.
On the other hand Christianity has its identified God in the shape of Jesus Christ; the son of God. You can see his idols and statues in every Christian church; they are there to hold you in obedience to an identified deity. And these people give crosses of silver and gold to their children to remind them of their God and to protect them from evil; the cross which finds its origination in the depths of pagan belief.
It is also acceptable to commit harm against someone and receive forgiveness for doing it from someone else, and as long as you follow the rules you will be fine, but if you break them there is no need to worry because it will all be made right in your dedications. The reason you will be fine is because you are taking the judicidual decision away from God and allowing a man to judge your actions and to forgive your sins.
Yet no man can speak for God in regard to forgiveness of sins or to allow other

How can any man (human physical existence) have other men and women bowing down to them in dedication

In all of God's encounter with man, it is an established fact that He despises sin. He abhors it with all sincerity of purpose.
by J. J. Suarez
One of the most ridiculous phrases I keep hearing come out of the mouths of Christians is, "anti-christ." Anti, means "against,"
No, Jesus Christ was not the antichrist.
Yeshua, or Jesus, stood for love and forgiveness.
Jesus was the messiah, or holy
I found both articles interesting and informative.
However on balance I think that article B addresses the question more
