Anyone who denies the Mesiah has not come, that is, Christ on earth in the flesh, is antiChrist. Therefore, among many, many supposed religions, those professing to be of the Jewis and Muslim faith are antiChrist. That does not mean that Christians are to summarily kill or harm antiChrist individuals. God bless, Hoyt D.F. Sparks, SL
1Jo 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 1Jo 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. 1Jo 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. 2Jo 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
I think I could use the word "respect" in the sense of respecting their freedom to worship in the way they believe. I could not use it in the sense of the respect of holding it in esteem.

There is a huge difference between respect and accept.
Cheers,
