If Islam is the beast/anti-christ than why do they say Jesus came in the flesh?

1 John 4:1-3 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world."
Do you think they fit this description? If not than who does?

I think we need to be careful when looking at words like anti-christ. I do not believe this compound word is one person or group of people though people can be involved with it.
Other words like Babylon which was a city but also has meanings (to babel and go around in circles not making sense) or it can be used to describe evil ways. Israel is another word we see. A city yes but originally a person. It can mean something as well and not just someone or some group of people. Anti-christ to me means in opposition to Jesus Christ message. I do not connect this directly to groups but rather a spiritual movement where religions maybe be connected.
Islam I humbly say, I do know so little about, sorry, but what I do know is that the God of Islam is the God of peace? Still I know full well that much of religion and men in power can lead men away from peace for their own selfish gain.

Thank you for the reply. I see you said you know very little about Islam, I would suggest picking up the Qur'an and reading it yourself, its always the best way to learn anything.

The anti-Christ will come for sure but the true Christian should not worry about it.
We should pay attention to signs.
Sometimes we worry too much about the apocalypse nad we dont what God tell us to do.
There is NOT the good guy who goes to "Heaven" ..but who goes is who obeys God.
It's obvious that DONT stealing, not lying,not adultery,no kiling,not gossip,etc etc... it helps..BUT
the main thing is to study and meditate on the Word of God because most of the times
we dont realize that we're doing something wrong (something that displeases God and draws us away from Him.
Every time i read the bible or ear the missionary RR Soares talk about something from the bible , i learn and hearing the Word makes my faith grow.

Why is important to know if Jesus was born in the flesh??
the bible says :- jesus is Son of God who became flesh to save us.
Many people repeat this without to understand and dont bother to study the bible to understand.
In Old Testament times when the God's people sinned, they redeemed sin by sacrificing
a lamb so... God forgave them.( TODAY WE KNOW THAT GOD DOES NOT WANT SACRIFICE but that was because the hardness of the heart of men of ancient time)
as well!!
for the world's sin was forgiven , Jesus replaced the lamb and He was sacrificed.
Do you understand????
By the sacrifice on the cross we are redeemed.
IF the anti-christ (or someone)to convince people that Jesus did not come in flesh, or that Jesus was not the Son of God...
so.. the people will not understand that Jesus saved us.
The bible warns Christians to pay attention to the behavior as
the actions of anti-christ show who he is.
so... pay attention.
READ THE BIBLE WHILE IT IS AVAILABLE.
TIME WILL COME THAT THE BIBLE WILL NO LONGERAVAILABLE TO READING. (apocalypse)

The anti christ will have only five months to be here on this earth and during that time we will still have these flesh bodies. When the True Christ comes we will be transformed into our spiritual bodies. We will still be able to die if we don't follow Christ and do what is Gods will we will have time to teach those that want to be taught but some will still believe in satan the anti christ and will follow him but at the end of the milium those that don't follow the True Christ will all blotted out and no one will remember those that haven't changed their minds and follows the True Christ.

Religion always confuses us. However you do it, dedicate it to God
