7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Comments by Joan Boney:
When a person says he is a Christian, but will not walk after scripture, I believe that person is an antichrist.
And there are many antichrists today. They often attend church but will not acknowledge the scriptures as truth, failing to do those scriptures.
The apostle John says:
2 John vv. 8-11
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

I'm really very careful before wishing anyone "well".
So many attend church but do not live in the commandments of God.
To wish such a person "well" is to become a partaker of his evil deeds, approving those deeds that he will go out and do.

We have a neighbor who identifies herself as a Catholic.
God has given Pam Padgett multiple dreams warning her about this neighbor.
The last time she was at our house, she came into my room to "visit". I was wearing tennis wrist bands which I sometimes use to support my wrists which have been broken. This woman teaches tennis.
I asked her if she knew what these wrist bands were that I was using, and she said "Tennis."
And then she said, "Does this mean you support gays and lesbians?"
I was very shocked and replied, "No ... I don't think so."
Why would she think that, I wondered.
I went to Amazon where I had ordered these colorful wrist bands to see if they in any way indicated homosexual or lesbians. They did not.
The wrist bands are bright colored wide bands in purple, yellow, orange, red.
Then on CNN I saw a group of people who identified themselves as homosexuals and lesbians in some type of march and a few of them were waving flags which were colored bands.
Pam Padgett sent our neighbor an email referring her to a Podcast which I had recorded entitled: Homosexual/lesbian: What the Bible says:
Two days later, I sent this neighbor a letter by US mail, whereby I stated the following scripture:
Genesis 19:1-7 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
(These men of Sodom were homosexuals who came from "every quarter" of the city to have sex with the two visitors who came to Lot's house. The city of Sodom was filled with homosexuals. The two visitors were angels sent by God to Sodom to destroy the city of Sodom but first they were to get Lot and his wife and daughters out of the city. Angels do not have wings. They look like natural men.)
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
(Lot knew the wickedness of homosexual acts.)
In the Bible the following tells us what God thinks of homosexuals and lesbians:
Romans 1:26-28 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
And I told this neighbor I do not support homosexuals or lesbians because the Bible shows these to be vile affections and evil acts.
This happened a few months ago and we have heard nothing from this neighbor since that time.

Usually when we share Bible with persons doing evil against the Word of God, they will not want to be around us any more.
They will depart from us.
So it is really very simple. Speak the word when the door opens and allow them to depart from you but in no way do we wish them well and we make that clear by our words.
