+1 yBasically yes. Scripture states:
“By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.”
1 John 4:2-3 ESV
So we can see if someone does not have the Holy Spirit in them they have the spirit of the Antichrist (not in them, but rather are supernaturally influenced by Satan.) Also mere confession does not bring salvation. It is being born again. The supernatural regeneration that is of grace that results in salvation. Let’s not forget Matthew 7: 21-23. One major theme of 1st John is that he was trying to deal with false teachers.
There are supporting scriptures for this concept as well. Let’s look here:
“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—”
Ephesians 2:1-2 ESV
The Prince and Power of the Air is another name for Satan and he supernaturally influences those whom are not saved to do his bidding whether or not they know it.
This is because there are only two sides, God’s and Satan’s. There is no middle ground as scripture states here:
“You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
John 8:44 ESV01 Reply- +1 y
Also I don’t believe there are any Antichrist countries. All countries and peoples have believers and unbelievers in them. The majority of course are the non regenerate. The only exception being unreached people groups. People who have had no exposure to the gospel are in a default position of non regenerate as are all humans upon birth due to original sin.
If you’re asking if Putin and Russia are identified as one of the countries making up the Gog and Maygog alliance in relation to Eschatology, I don't know. Based on what I know about Eschatology I suppose it’s possible.

+1 yNo there will be a real anti christ, aka the false prophet, he will bring world peace and brainwash people that he is Jesus christ and will force people to mark their body with the mark of the beast, you won't be able to live a normal and peaceful life if you don't mark yourself, they will burn all the bibles and hunt down all the Christians, they will manipulate the Bible and people will be worshiping a fake God, until the second return of Jesus christ, it's 3 Yeats of peace and 3 years of chaos, when there's world peace, the time is near and y'all shall fear, I had to throw that rhyme in there 😂

Non believers are non believers, if anyone are anti Christians then they are satanics that worship Satan, but don't get me wrong, there's people that don't believe in Jesus but I wouldn't say they are anti unless they are hating on Jesus which I'm sure they exist but I don't think anti christ is the term for them
No nation is entirely Anti-Christ, in every country there are some who believe in Christ. But those who don't are entirely against him and are indeed Anti-Christ and Anti-God. Unless they learn to accept Jesus then they'll always be that way.

+1 yYes. The Bible is clear that you are either for or against Jesus. There is no middle ground. There is no other version of God outside the Holy Trinity. If you do not have the Holy Spirit guiding you, then you have the spirit of the AntiChrist guiding you.
There is and is not a such thing as an AntiChrist nation at the same time. In the sense that there is no such thing, that stems from the fact that faith in Jesus is an individual walk. In the sense that there is a such thing, China and North Korea would be primary examples because they actively suppress ANY religious text in their borders. However, any leader that actively leads people AWAY from Jesus will suffer a worse punishment in Hell. ALL who stray from Jesus will be in HELL, but there are different levels of HELL based on your transgressions in life and how much your negative impact led others away from God.14 Reply

Libtards is correct. All he said is what scripture teaches, you can reference my answer on here for the supporting scriptures that support both his and my point. All he said is exactly right with the minor exception. I believe he is referencing this verse:
““Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.”
Matthew 18:5-6 ESV
Jesus here is speaking about teaching false doctrines to Christians more than referring to heads of nations. Anyone teaching lies to those who are his will receive severe judgment.
Everything else he said is spot on.
Well done with your answer @libtards to her question. So many who replied to her question don’t seem to know what scripture teaches about this matter. - +1 y
@Exterminatore Thanks. That was the Scripture I was referencing. I'm still new in my reading of the Bible and am not yet good enough to be able to recall many verses without having the Bible right in front of me.

That’s ok buddy. You did a great job anyhow. Well done!
861 opinions shared on Religion & Spirituality topic. No, however, there’s more than one Antichrist per Bible.-Bible references many “lesser” Antichrists that will come. Hitler and Stalin would be a good example. Anyone who tries to undermine Christianity, unrighteous Pastors-prosperity gospel) may be Antichrists.
Some believe Rome. Some believe “Beast from the East”- read that book…

Ma’am you’re just as capable no matter what country you are from. Respect your fellow human, religion is a belief system. Religion is not factual or scientific. This means everything is based on your belief and faith in that belief. Others have different beliefs, that does not make them evil. There are thousands of priests, popes and other religious figures who have molested kids and killed people. One’s belief or faith does not make them good or evil.
Asker+1 yI respect. I don't understand you are so angry. It is just a question. That's all

That’s great, I’m not angry at all! I am sorry you got that feeling from my response. I was eating breakfast and drinking coffee while writing it. I rarely ever get angry and certainly wouldn’t on a website like this.
