'one that jesus may oppose?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'stunt with tattered shirt' is the wordplay.
'stunt' becomes 'antic'.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'tattered' is an anagram indicator (a tattered or broken form of the letters).
'shirt' with letters rearranged gives 'hrist'.
'antic'+'hrist'='ANTICHRIST'
