1 Beloued, beleeue not euery spirit, but trie the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the spirit of God: euery spirit that confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God. 3 And euery Spirit that confesseth not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God: and this is that spirit of Antichrist, whereof you haue heard, that it should come, and euen now already is it in the world.

AV1611 1 Beloued, beleeue not euery spirit, but trie the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the spirit of God: euery spirit that confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God. 3 And euery Spirit that confesseth not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God: and this is that spirit of Antichrist, whereof you haue heard, that it should come, and euen now already is it in the world.

Critical Text Bibles Based on Vatican MSS Below:NAS 1 Beloved, R168 do not believe every spirit, R169 but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many R170 false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every R171 spirit that confesses R172 that Jesus R173 Christ has come in the flesh is from God; 3 and every spirit that does R174 not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, R175 of which you have heard that it is coming, and now R176 it is already in the world.

NIV 1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

NAB 1 Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.a 2This is how you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ come in the flesh belongs to God,b 3and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus* does not belong to God. This is the spirit of the antichrist that, as you heard, is to come, but in fact is already in the world.c

Do devils acknowledge Jesus? Do devils confess Jesus?

Acts 19:15 And the euill spirit answered, and said, Iesus I knowe, and Paul I know, but who are ye?

Mark 5:7 And cried with a lowd voice, and said, What haue I to doe with thee, Iesus, thou Sonne of the most high God? I adiure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

AV1611 Mark 5:1 And they came ouer vnto the other side of the sea, into the countrey of the Gadarenes. 2 And when hee was come out of the ship, immediatly there met him out of the tombes, a man with an vncleane spirit, 3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs, and no man could binde him, no not with chaines: 4 Because that hee had bene often bound with fetters and chaines, and the chaines had bene plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. 5 And alwayes night and day, hee was in the mountaines, and in the tombes, crying, and cutting himselfe with stones. 6 But when hee saw Iesus afarre off, he came and worshipped him, 7 And cried with a lowd voice, and said, What haue I to doe with thee, Iesus, thou Sonne of the most high God? I adiure thee by God, that thou torment me not. 8 (For he said vnto him, Come out of the man, thou vncleane spirit.) 9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And hee answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. 10 And hee besought him much, that he would not send them away out of the countrey. 11 Now there was there nigh vnto the mountaines a great herd of swine, feeding. 12 And all the deuils besought him, saying, Send vs into the swine, that we may enter into them. 13 And forthwith Iesus gaue them leaue. And the vncleane spirits went out, and entred into the swine, and the herd ranne violently downe a steepe place into the sea (they were about two thousand) and were choked in the sea.

Based on reproofs from the AV1611, these bibles below are of the spirit of antichrist, that is, if you believe in Jesus Christ and His testimony from Hebrew and Greek found in the AV1611. Strangely, the NKJV and NIV follows the Catholic text in many places. Could it be that they are also the merchandise (gold, silver, precious stones) of the great whore? (Gold, Silver, and P-Stones are wisdom, understanding and prophets per the holy ghost in AV1611.)

http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=13639 The world’s Catholic population grew by 15 million, or 1.3%, in 2010: the last year for which full statistics are available. There were nearly 1.2 billion Catholics in the world at that time.

About 50% of all professing to believe in Jesus Christ get regular council by spirits/apparitions.

Many others get council in false bibles or other idols of gold and silver (lexicons, apologetics) which are dumb idols and contain none of God’s wisdom unless validated by the holy ghost.

Thank you for having responded to my call.“

None of the Marian Apparitions confess Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. They confess a false Christ because they are spirits of devils.

1 Timothy 4: 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expresly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giuing heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of deuils: 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisie, hauing their conscience seared with a hote iron, 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to absteine from meates, which God hath created to bee receiued with thankesgiuing of them which beleeue, and know the trueth. 4 For euery creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be receiued with thankesgiuing: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God, and prayer. 6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Iesus Christ, nourished vp in the wordes of faith, and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

Rev 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues, yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship deuils, and idoles of golde, and siluer, and brasse, and stone, and of wood, which neither can see, nor heare, nor walke:

Exodus 20: 4 Thou shalt not make vnto thee any grauen Image, or any likenesse of any thing that is in heauen aboue, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water vnder the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow downe thy selfe to them, nor serue them: For I the Lord thy God am a iealous God, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children, vnto the thirde and fourth generation of them that hate me:

Apparitions bring money, fame, and laudation:

Countless celebrities, musicians, politicians, scientist, authors, and wealthy persons have given testimony that they receive council from apparitions on business decisions linked to acquiring wealth, fame, laudation, and other worldly gain.

Some claim to have received downloaded wisdom from aliens.

All believe they are special and many believe they are of a bloodline that makes them deities.

Gen 3:5 5 For God doeth know, that in the day ye eate thereof, then your eyes shalbee opened: and yee shall bee as Gods, knowing good and euill.

The Doerr family lived in Wheaton Illinois in the 1980’s

The spirits of antichrist were channeled through rosaries, pornography, prayers to the dead, heavy metal music, drugs, and other forms of ungodly activities. Some experiences were:

• John was tortured by evil spirits who wanted to possess him.• John witnessed door slamming, loud banging sounds, and felt the presence of devils.• A family member saw a devil.• A family member saw an apparition.• Two family members witnessed an animal spirit in a cold room. A rosary was flung to

the floor.• John and some family members saw or heard objects move many times.• A family member experienced a phone being picked up by itself.• Some guests were harassed by footsteps and unintelligible voices.

• Though John was unsaved, he told the spirits he believed in Jesus Christ which shut down his torment and stopped their spiritual assault.

• Some family members experienced gross drug abuse, overdoses, mental problems.

• The family was devoutly Roman Catholic.

• Since John’s salvation in late 2006, he testifies:

• Jesus Christ has made the spirits subject to him.

• Evil spirits are all around us.• The media is filled with them.• Many politicians, famous people, media personnel and

heads of state have major spiritual problems as Jesus says.
