→The Antichrist in the Bible: According to 1 Jn 2:22; 4:3; 2 Jn 7 none of the historical popes has been the antichrist
:I John 2:18 'as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now there are many antichrists'
:I John 2:18 'as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now there are many antichrists'
:I John 2:22 'Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieith the Father and the Son.'
:I John 2:22 'Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.'
:I John 4:3 'And every spirit that confesseth not that [[Jesus]] Christ is come in the flesh is not of [[God]]: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
:I John 4:3 'And every spirit that confesseth not that [[Jesus]] Christ is come in the flesh is not of [[God]]: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
The Antichrist is often associated with, and in some interpretations considered equivalent to, ''the Beast'' of Revelation or the ''Man of Sin'' referenced in II Thessalonians 2:3.

The Protestant Reformers did not hesitate to declare in the strongest possible language that the Pope is indeed the Antichrist. This is the doctrinal position of conservative Christian [[Evangelical Christians|Evangelicals]], [[Baptist Church|Baptists]], [[Fundamentalism|Fundamentalists]], the [[Plymouth Brethren]], and anti-Catholic groups in general who hold to the doctrine of [[Dispensationalism]] and the [[Tribulation|Pre-Tribulation Rapture]].
According to the biblical definition of the identity of antichrist [[Biblical inerrancy|infallibly]] set forth in 1 John 2:22; 4:3 and 2 John 7, no historical [[pope]] has been the antichrist. None of them has denied that Jesus is the Christ, none of them has denied the Father and the Son, none of them has denied that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, each of them [[dogma]]tically confessing that Jesus Christ has indeed come in the flesh, and therefore none of them is or has been the antichrist.
