The word used in the Greek New Testament used by Western denominations as the original language is ἀντίχριστος ("antikhristos"; "an-TEE-khris-tos"; from prep. ἀντί "anti" 「against/in place of」+ Χριστός "khristos" 「Anointed/Messiah」). In the Aramaic texts used by indigenous Middle Eastern Christendom, that's ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܓܠܐ ("msikha dagala"; from ܡܫܝܚܐ "msikha" 「Messiah」 + ܕܓܠܐ "dagala"「false/vain/deceitful/lying」). In both terms, this is in the masculine, which seems to suggest a male role.
But to be fair, the text of 1 John 2:18 does mention THE (masculine) character coming (as of A. D. 100, the estimated date of the last pen-stroke in the New Testament), AND a plural version having already arrived (again, 'as of A. D. 100').

And in such ancient European languages (in this case Koine Greek, which follows the pattern of Latin), masculine-plural (in this case: 'ἀντίχριστοι' "antikhristoi") is used even when the mentioned group are a mix of males & females. (They would have to be all female to use the feminine.) Hence, there can be some female versions.
This should make sense, since many, many things (male/female people & objects, concrete or conceptual) take the place of God today, even among so-called believers.
No, I think it will be male. However, the book of Revelation describes Babylon as a female, and Babylon will basically be the core of corruption and iniquity on earth. With the way the world has increasingly glorified women and especially Caucasian women, and with how we are in bondage to them sexually and they exploit that, Revelation's prophecy would make perfect sense.
Could be either. Gender is irrelevant when you're dealing with beings of that level of power.
Nah it's gonna be Elliot Rodgers mixed with a little bit of Hitler, if anything.

There have been some hideously evil female psychopaths over the years, and a few hidieously evil female monarchs and other nobles over the years. I think that would qualify ias a "female antichrist".
However, I don't believe in Jesus any more anyway. I'm a Deist now. I reject Jesus of Nazareth and believe he was a false prophet, as were all of his apostles.
The antichrist is could be literally everything Christ is, so a female antichrist is possible. I also must mention that the Bible specifys "an" antichrist as someone who denies Christ, so on theory -- there are many antichrists and many of them may be female. Also in Rev 13:2, it states, "To it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority", we can see that the main opponent of Christ in the Last Days will be a male.
No. Just don't take the mark, whatever it is.. a chip, tattoo, stamp, number, etc on your head or right hand cause a lot of people will and when that happens there's no going back.
There have been many antichrists. If you are referring to the Dispensationalist interpretation of Apocalyptic Scripture... yeah, I would be careful there. It should be interpreted according to its literary form, not literally.
Antichrist was a mistranslation in the Bible. Antichrist just mean people against God, not some opposite Jesus character
i'm surprised you haven't been banned for life from the internet and fired from all possible future jobs for suggesting such a thing about a female. Everyone knows females are everything good in this world and men are all the bad things. lol
The Antichrist can be whatever it wants, but it better show up quickly. The show's starting without it.
Both Paul in the Bible and Muhammad in the Quran refer to the antichrist as a "he", so it's only natural to assume he will be a man.
The Antichrist will be a hermaphrodital clownfish.
Change my mind.
If a Christ isn't real, what makes you think an anti-Christ would be real?
I wouldn't be surprised. Who else could come up with the soy latte.
I don't think there's any doubt about it.
On one hand, no way! On the other hand, I know a few that would be perfect for the job.
Now that i think about it, it does make sense since christ was a male and anti-christ would be the opposite and the opposite of a male is a female and eve was the first woman and first person to cast sin going against God's command not to eat the fruit. So a female anti-christ does make a lot of sense. And women can be pure evil
Never thought of it. But it makes sense. A female antichrist would lead all the pseudo Christians astray. Everyone who is a true believer knows not to listen to women preachers.
Probably male. Although since the Antichrist is opposing to Jesus, the sex could be opposing too but I think the opposition is more akin to the power and promises possessed.
If anything different from a 'regular male', I' d rather expect a multisexual trans.
It's not an opasite more negative to positive. Jesus left us a model to follow going against that makes you anti..
Id say if we go off of the literal sense of exact opposite of Christ then yes it would make sense for the Antichrist to be female
I think the anti-Christ is a myth like Hades. But right now, Trump is looking pretty good for casting.
