John is talking about people who deny that Christ came in the flesh etc. Not all heresies or problems come in this way.
No he is talking about those who deny Christ period..
You sure know how to take a passage of scripture and screw it up..
Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ.
1 John 2:22
No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
1 John 2:23
Now there are other heresies out there that just saying Jesus is not the Christ. For instance saying we are equally the same as christ, is another heresy. And we can take Christ and emphasis the miraculous and leave out heart transformation through discipleship. But your tenor is very dismissive and closed minded. It also ends with the declaration I am screwing up scripture. That is just an opinion, but I suppose that is all you have.
Anti-Christ means AGAINT - CHRIST. Jesus said, whoever is not for me is against me.. If you deny the son, you deny the father..
Anyone who leaves the church , and now denys christ, according to john has never been a true part of the church. PERIOD.. It does not matter if they once professed him or not.. If they leave, and now deny, THEY WERE NEVER SAVED.
Stop trying to add, subtract, or change the word of God.
EG for instance condemns his fathers church and all the people there, me and many others who I would call believers.
No, I condemn no one, I condemn the gospel of works..
How many times do you have to be told that.
You continually tell me I am a legalist, trying to earn my salvation, and not saved. I would call that condemnation in the extreme. Telling a christian he is going to hell because he does not accept OSAS, is condemnation. Saying it is sin and needs to repent of, is standing in for God. But somehow this seems to pass you by and your readers. Must be judgementalism is part of this version of christianity.
I said, if you follow your gospel you will not be saved, I can not condemn no one, because I do not know your heart or where you come from, or where you will end up. Only God knows that.
But as I have said over and over (again proof you never listen) God calls us to condemn a false gospel. Anyone who teaches a gospel which is not from Christ, is to be damned (accursed is the gentller word. but does not hit the point)
so get over youreself.. Truth hurts, It seems I have made you mad. Well so be it. Maybe thats what you need.
There comes a point where you say people have chosen this position, and rejected all others, so it cannot be about faith but something personal to themselves. They maybe saved but just lost the plot along the way.
There has to come a time, where you take God literally. When he says you will never die, he means it.
Maybe you will see this truth some day. Maybe you will not. All we can do is pray
The Lord never said we do not die. So I do not know what your bible is telling you, but it is not the bible I am reading.
Please show me this promise about never dying.

What Bible do you read? If you would read, you would not make such heretical mistakes. In fact, No bible I know of would leave out the promise of Jesus that whever has fatih in him will never die.. They all say it, You just do not believe it,,
John 6:
[SUP]35 [/SUP]And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. [SUP]36 [/SUP]But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. [SUP]37 [/SUP]All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. [SUP]38 [/SUP]For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. [SUP]39 [/SUP]This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. [SUP]40 [/SUP]And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
[SUP]47 [/SUP]Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me[SUP][g][/SUP] has everlasting life. [SUP]48 [/SUP]I am the bread of life. [SUP]49 [/SUP]Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. [SUP]50 [/SUP]This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. [SUP]51 [/SUP]I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
John 3: 16, For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him will NEVER PERISH (DIE) But HAS eternal ife
John 10: 28, And I give them eternal life, and THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH (DIE)
John 11: 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
Need I go further, Why do you not believe Peter?? Why?
No, Jesus promised us eternal life, as enterance into the kingdom If your not alive in him, Your not part of th ekingdom. You must be born again first.. This comes by faith in Christ.. And eternal justificaiton.
If you do not possess eternal life, Your not part of the kingdom. Your still dead in your sin,
You can not see what your blind to. The pharisee did not see how blind they were. Paul had to have his eyes opened to see, or he would have remained blind.
I was born again in a wonderful church at a young age. I sw God alot. I just did not know him very well. because i was not tought right about my position in Christ You do no tknow me. You continued reference to my 20 years are useless. They d not support your point, they only PROVE YOU DO NOT HAVE A POINT or else you would not need to attack me..

Jesus gives us entry into the Kingdom, here and now and the promise of eternal life after we die or when we see Him face to face.
No, Jesus promised us eternal life, as enterance into the kingdom If your not alive in him, Your not part of th ekingdom. You must be born again first.. This comes by faith in Christ.. And eternal justificaiton.

Only in your own mind you say I do not know Jesus. I do not know your spiritual walk, but I cannot believe over 20 years of faith this was without an encounter with the living Christ. Now my experience is meeting the Lord in many meeting, through many people and fellowships. I have rarely seen the legalism you talk about, but rather a lack of faith or reality of spirituality. You want me to be something I am not, and I cannot fit the box to make you happy. I wish you well but have no clue about what you are talking about. I wonder how you can claim to know Christ to be this far off the mark.
