And every spirit that does not confess Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God, but is of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he is coming, and now is already in the world

1 John 4:3 And every spirit that does not confess Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God, but is of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he is coming, and now is already in the world.

"of whom you have heard that he is coming," refers to the person of the Antichrist, NOT in existence at that time but reserved for the future.


"and now is already in the world." refers to the spirit of the Antichrist which is the spirit of Apostasy which is the spirit of the Devil, the wicked one.



Heresies that divide and apostasy to unite a fragmented Church is the instigation and Diabolic plan of the Devil a murderer and liar from the beginning.


The faith is transmitted by the witness of those who hold directly to the Head of His Church, His body,  which is Jesus Christ and no other, to true parádosis which is true tradition and not traditionalism. The Head and body together are His Church and no other.


ON THE HISTORICAL CONFESSION OF CATHOLIC FAITH, WITH VARIOUS REFERENCE SITES QUOTED.


JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY AND TRUTH AND LIFE - NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY HIM.

For as it was not possible that the man who had once for all been conquered, and who had been destroyed through disobedience, could reform himself, and obtain the prize of victory; and as it was also impossible that he could attain to salvation who had fallen under the power of sin,-the Son effected both these things, being the Word of God, descending from the Father, becoming incarnate, stooping low, even to death, and consummating the arranged plan of our salvation, upon whom [Paul], exhorting us unhesitatingly to believe, again says, "Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring down Christ; or who shall descend into the deep? that is, to liberate Christ again from the dead." Then he continues, "If thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shall be saved." And he renders the reason why the Son of God did these things, saying, "For to this end Christ both lived, and died, and revived, that He might rule over the living and the dead." And again, writing to the Corinthians, he declares, "But we preach Christ Jesus crucified; "and adds, "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? " - St. Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book III, Chapter XVIII, Section 2.
