From St. John's 2nd letter he says:
"For many seducers are gone out into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh: this is a seducer and an antichrist."
Such "mini" antichrists who deny Christ and practice deceit are the likes of Justin Trudeau, or Gavin Newsome, or Ben Shapiro. I am sure you could name more historically.
Eventually, we'll get the big antichrist as per Revelation. But the word "anti" means against, so anyone who works against Christ, and uses deceit and seduction is an antichrist.
Similar to Satan, its properly used as “the enemy”, Jesus called Peter Satan when he attempted to stop him before his persecution, there can be many Satans but only one Lucifer
Christ: sacrifices self to save world
Antichrist: sacrifices world to save self

In response, the Jewish crowd demanding the crucifixion of Jesus declared, "His blood be on us and on our children!" (Matthew 27:25)
Every Jew is an anti-christ. They won't deny it either.
Kind of like the final boss in a video game
Another form of meaning of the prefix "anti" is a substitute.

So an antichrist isn't necessarily or always "against" Christ but can also be a false Christ. The proliferation of quasi-Christian cults, which profess to be Christian but only an improved, or "fixed", or "true" version of it, typically making heretical claims and denying the power of the cross and/or the divinity of Christ, are also examples of antichrists or manifestations of the antichrist spirit.
Wokeness, liberalism, scientism, materialism, and Communism are examples of worldly religion that captures a majority of human thought and political power on the Earth today, and they can also be understood in terms of manifestation of the antichrist spirit. The adherents to this antichrist religious movement deny that it is a religion, mainly because they claim to be opposed to religion as a matter of principle, but it not only meets all the necessary definitions of a religion, it just so happens to be an extremely effective mind-control methodology.
Over half of world's jews followed fraud messiah in 1666.
Sabbatai Zevi (Hebrew: שַׁבְּתַי צְבִי, romanized: abbĕṯai Ṣĕḇî; Turkish: Sabetay Sevi; August 1, 1626 – c. September 17, 1676), was an Ottoman Jewish mystic and ordained rabbi from Smyrna (now İzmir, Turkey). A kabbalist of Romaniote or Sephardic origin. Zevi declared himself the Messiah in 1666, proclaiming that redemption was available through acts of sin.
It's actually based on the life, words, and deeds of the Man, Jesus of Nazareth. The Jewish Bible just happens to have predicted and promised His coming. But where's the delusion? The eyewitnesses to Jesus's ministry? The early church which was taught by those eyewitnesses? The modern church that believes the written accounts of Jesus and the expositions of His earliest followers? Which part of Christianity is a delusion, and when did that delusion come into play?
First of all, I didn't even bring up the topic of God; I merely pointed out that Christianity is based on Jesus and not the Jewish Bible. But you apparently answered my question as to the delusional part. Your answer appears to be "all of it." Fair enough; that is an answer.
My reply would require a bit more probing of your reason for objecting to this premise that Jesus is the divine nature in human form. Is this because you do not believe in the divine person aka God? Is this because you do not believe the divine person has the ability to inject Himself into the human condition? Is this because you believe in God and that God could certainly do so but that you do not believe that Jesus provides enough evidence that His claims of divinity are true?
Where do we fall on that spectrum?
"Man made" is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting in this reply.
Prove absolutely anything without any "man made" text of any kind. (E.g.; a diary is a man-made text, a record of events, and is worthy of consideration even though it is "man made." The Bible is a compilation of similar first-hand accounts) All of history is man made. Every scientific paper and discovery is man made. The language that we speak is man made. You've just eliminated any and every form of evidence with that frankly ridiculous limitation.
Your first response in this thread, to which I replied, alleged that Christianity was based on a "horrible disfiguration of the jewish bible." But it turns out that was not your problem with it at all, because that would have implied that you believe the "jewish bible" was legitimate and that Christianity was illegitimate based on incongruity with the "jewish bible." But that was not true at all, even though for some reason you never criticized the "jewish bible" for its God but instead reserved your anti-God ire for Christianity. That's why I needed clarification in order to address your issues.
But your argument as now presented is nothing more than incredulity and brick-wall refusal to honestly consider actual evidence.
I do not believe you are a serious person, and that makes this entire conversation an exercise in utter futility.
I'll be more than happy to debate and to share my actual, undeniable experiences and my thoughts & ideas with anybody who has even a modicum of honesty or curiosity, but I am disappointed with the hostility encountered here.
Can you tell me how you plan to go about healing people, turning water into wine, walking on water, feeding 5,000 with a basket of loaves and fishes, and rising from the dead? When you answer this, then I'll tell you how I would address those events without supernatural beliefs.
