The origins of Christianity are the model for the rewriting of history by the victors. “Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia” as George Orwell famously paraphrased the New Testament. The blatant anti-Docetic lines in the Epistles of John are the four anti-Christ lines which imply that those who reject the literal Jesus story are Satanic.
Here they are in all their appalling deceptive glory. Reading this against the metaphors, only Satan could deceive so successfully by claiming that the real divine saints are of the devil.

My view is that these four Antichrist statements are decisive in twisting Christianity from its Gnostic Docetic Spiritual Cosmic origins into an orthodox, literal, political, mundane dogma. The so-called “anti-Christ” referred to by Saint John here is actually the original authors of Christian faith, those who understand the Christ message as purely spiritual.Saint John wrote: “Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist--denying the Father and the Son. Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 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. Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.”
Saint John himself is the real Satanic liar, the father of lies, the deceiver. The church obtained social traction by asserting that Christ had come in the flesh, despite this dogma being entirely a fictional lie. Only by asserting that the real original source genius of the faith was actually Satanic (ie the anti Christ) could the church effective suppress its own origins by condemning the Gnostic Docetics as heresy.
