1 John2:22

22 Who is a lier, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ ? he is Antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

Especially may the ill accord be descerned between Divine Truth, and a Lie, when the Lie is so directly levell'd against the Foundations upon which the whole Fabrick is built, as the denying Iesus to be the Christ, strikes at all.

And tho he that doth so, seems only an Antichrist, as directing his Opposition but against Christ, he really as much denies the Father, who testifi'd of him.
