Well there are plenty of unholy and unjust bible passages but also plenty of Good. It is my opinion and belief that antichrist inspired some verses. What do you say?
Not sure if you intended to quote me or someone else. That was never my opinion as a Christian. If you think that, then what do you make of verses like 2 Timothy 3:16?
Why not?? Jesus has ties to the Jewish religion and Christians are followers of Him.

Seriously. The ONLY requirement to follow Christ is to follow His instructions to love God and each other every day and repent when we don't. All the other beliefs and rituals are the result of human vanity and hubris. They can be productive or counterproductive to our spiritual maturity, but that is a separate issue.

I thought that to follow Christ one has to believe that he is the Messiah and son of G-D?

Well, if you follow Him, it is presumed you do so because you think something like that, but it is not crucial. The following IS.

A common misconception. To follow Christ is to accept the message of Christ concerning living in community with God and man in the Spirit of "agape" or concern for the well-being of everyone. What you believe about Jesus is not all that important.

I believe antichrist wrote that to confuse and trick people.

This is true. Whoever tells you otherwise is teaching a false message. I notice some people already claimed that good works is enough, but it is not true. No one is saved by works alone.

Very true. One must believe that Jesus is the Christ, that he IS THE MESSIAH.
For christians anyway. I believe that if one isn't evil but never believes on or heard of the gospels or Jesus that they can still be saved especially if they tell theirself they'd worship JC but do not know if he exists. But if they're not evil why would they be lost?
