Do you believe in the anti-Christ? Jerry Falwell has pointed out that the anti-Christ is here now and would be Jewish, because he would want to masquerade as Christ and Christ was Jewish, a comment which prompted the comedian Al Franken to ask, “is it Marvin Hamlish?”
But all kidding aside, if you believe that there could be an anti-Christ, then it would be important to understand how, aside from anti-Semitism, to distinguish Christ from His masquerader.
You might think it’s easy to distinguish good from evil, but keep in mind that the devil, or the anti-Christ or any force of evil, would be crafty and deceptive, and if we believe in an anti-Christ, we want to be sure we aren’t fooled.
For a fool and his soul are soon parted.
So here us a list of ways we can distinguish Christ from anti-Christ.
Christ Anti-Christ
Tells the truth Tells lies
For Peace For War
Loves Hates
Turns the other cheek Gets revenge
Not Judgmental Is Judgmental
Fair Unfair
Not ruled by money Motivated by wealth
Modest Prideful
Open Hides things
Listens Doesn’t listen
Unifies Divides
Saves lives Kills peopleHmmm. That president of ours, who was put in the office by a religious voting block because they thought he was a man of God, sure seems to fit that list on the right.

Interesting. Last night I have a conversation that followed the exact same lines... what a thought.
Yes, we have quite a minion of anti-christs here on earth don't we. Watch and pray.
He's not kind to animals, either.
I came to that conclusion as I was reading that list too, funny!
this list fits a lot about my P.M. also......
yes.
it is called wal mart.
son of super wal mart.
that is so true... wow...
those who get paid to do interpret nonsense say that Nostradamus predicted the anti-christ would be born on my birthday. ha.
i don't think Bush is the anti-christ. but he's definatley on the immoral end of my spectrum.
I don't know about being the anti-christ, but he's certainly a dumb, decietful bastard.
Well you hit the nail on the head. What he( George Dubblyah) represents certainly defiles Christianity in my book, and to me this is the evil that is destroying us,or trying to anyway. I still have hope that we can save ourselves from this in the future but it is a long road and will get worse before it gets better.
I have never liked Bush, even before the war. Such ignorance and arrogance. Blah...
I think your list is elementary at best. Certainly not biblical.
You so predictable these days.
The idea of an absolutely good vs absolutely evil reckoning predates Christianity by many centuries. Zoroastrianism, for example. That aside, the concept of an anti-christ is only interesting as another literary wrinkle in the judeo-christian story, which is a sort of ongoing meta-story. Yaweh permits Satan not only to plant the seed of death in the world but also to unleash his final solution, embodied in the anti-christ. Makes for good drama.
