Which one of these verses are the facts?..."And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is IN His son. He who HAS the Son has life; he who does not HAVE the Son of God does not have life." [1 John 5:11-12].
--OR--
"And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is knowing His son. He who knows the Son has life; he who does not know the Son of God does not have life." [????? ].
"Knowing" is powerless to this wretched sinner in the context you presented! My only hope is found in the the killing power of the cross that killed this wretched man, and the sin debt associated with it.. And the promise of sins power over me being released for eternity comes from Christ's resurrection. My guarantee of eternal life is valid if, and only if I remain IN Christ. Why? Because God came to bring glory to Himself.....to make us Holy! If we remain in our human depravity we cannot do that. But if we come unto Him thru Christ Jesus our Lord the things He asks us to do are worthy of asking; yea demanding, because He has given us the ability and resources to accomplish His laws in us thru Christ Jesus. If God sees you knowing Jesus you are standing next to Him. But God will not have sin in His presence, thus He sees all saints as Jesus only [ the sinless one]. Our emergence INTO Christ is the difference from the real eternal security and the perverted one. To be in Christ we must remain in Him. This is our choice and action. This is our will established for the love relationship God wanted to have with us. I am not God's "pity-party!" I am a Holy and powerful saint, a saint because I am found IN Jesus Christ not beside Him.

2. You do not know us very well. For we do not teach one can be saved, and live a life of sin (nor does scripture teach this)
so you just made a whole post which made false accusations, or was based on false accusations, which was meaningless.
