Perhaps you should read the whole chapter and your first question will be answered. Perhaps you should also take what you learn from reading the whole chapter and apply John V's explanation. Therefore you were incorrect.
I do not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh, and I am an unbeliever. I feel fairly certain that most of my fellow atheists would be in the same boat. Does this verse not say that we are deceivers and antichrist by the statement "those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh"?
OK, quick poll: all atheists who confess that Jesus Christian came in the flesh say "aye".
So that's a "no", you won't read the chapter then?
