For heaven's sake, being a skeptic and an anti-christ are two different things. I admit that I am skeptic about God's existence because of the errancies found in the bible but it doesn't make me an anti-christ, does it?!
i have defined the two terms to know the difference.
skep.tic
(plural skep.tics)
noun
1.somebody who doubts something is true: a doubter of accepted beliefs
2. somebody who doubts religious teachings; a doubter of religious doctrines and principles
An.ti.christ
(plural an.ti.christs)
noun
1. antagonist of Jesus Christ; an antagonist of Jesus Christ, expected by the early Christians to spread evil throughout the world, but then to be overcome by the second coming of Christ
2. an.ti.christ (plural an.ti.christs) opponent of Jesus Christ; a person or power opposed to Jesus Christ

Now tell me, is being a skeptic the same as an Anti-Christ?!
I AM NOT AN ANTI-CHRIST!

First, there was a big pot of money in the United States many years ago. Anyone who can prove that there are contradictions in the Bible can get the million dollar pot. Nobody did until it was put to something useful.
Being a skeptic denotes unbelief may be due to some factors. You said the Bible has errancies but you didn't point out. May be you are just confused my friend. Have you read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation?
Your breath alone can testify the existence of God. Everything that was created was a testament of God. You don't need to prove it. Like, how in the world can your body systems work so harmoniously? If one system of your body malfunctions, it affects every part. Example, if your excretory system fail you even for three days, you will know what I mean.
Search for yourself and know the truth and it shall set you free!!

Ngippol,
i have read the bible from Genesis to Revelation. I used to be a seminarian. For that reason, I have found lots of errancies in the bible that made me skeptic or doubtful about the writings. The fact remains that if the bible was inspired by God Himself and knowing that He is Omnipotent, why would he allow those people to create errors that would result to people's disbelief and questions? I have long been searching for answers to my questions and yet until now no one has ever proved me that. Thanks for the comment though. It is heartfully embraced.

No it does not mean that you are anti-christ and from your post, i am sure you know that. It means that you are intelligent and do not blindly just believe everything that is told you. Questioning things is good and will lead to the truth. I am a very spiritual person but I also have many questions and doubts regarding religion.

The Bible is the book of our life, when you read it I hope the Holy Spirit will guide and make you understand the word of God.

I'm a christian and i'm sceptic too about religion especially my own because a lot of my christian friends are teaching wrong.
So you're NOT an ANTI-CHRISt.There;s nothing wrong with being sceptic.
If someone tells you that he's out of his mind and he thinks everyone who doesn't believe in God is an Anti -Christ.
Take people like that for granted they don't know any better.
Someone who's anti christ does awful things to christians or other religious groups.

thats an interesting discussion. well i wouldn't say you are am abntichrist as that is a really stron accusation but perhaps you run a risk of being one of his associates. skeptism is ok by all means since it makes no sense to accept all that is said as gospel truth but essensially too much of anything can be hurtfull. as long as we draw a line according to own belief only then can you distinguish between you being a skeptic or antichrist associate.
