In any case, I looked at the context, and there is absolutely nothing that disqualifies the verse from saying what it says, that deceivers, according to the author, are those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. That would cover about any atheist I know.
You're right, that answer has no direct bearing on what is actually written there. However, your answer will affect how I view your intelligence from here on out.
Now, if you can't demonstrate that you understand the context of your own words, why should I have confidence in your ability to understand the context of others'?
In the end, I really don't give a damn about what you think. I can see from just a few exchanges that your posts will likely be passed on by with my mouse wheel in the future because I already waste enough time as it is.
