How much? My Dad would always say, a yard and a half .
Personally I would be more concerned as to how can we hear God the teacher who works in us .The mutual work of faith not of us but rather as it is written .(the letter of the law)
He warns us of those who do say we need a man seen to teach us and identifies it as the method of the antichrist. (1 John 2)
I would offer. The real as the literal. . the "temporal" seen must be mixed with faith the "eternal" not seen
When discussing unseen spiritual things as matters of faith (believing is seeing) The Spirit gives us His understanding as a "law faith".
It is not so much what is real and literal (the temporal historical value ) .The literal or letter of the law is death .It is isolated from the unseen gospel understanding in a parables as a law of faith (believing not seeing the literal) . When mixing the spiritual unseen understanding with the temporal as that seen we can we have heard the spell in the parable.
The two laws working as one perfect law
2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
The perfect law (written mixed with the unseen law of faith) performs in us as the hearing of it that in which the literal letter of the law Death could not do. Provide unseen spirit life. Both laws working as one does the work in us to both will and perform his good pleasure. Resulting in quickening ones new soul giving us simply ones his unseen understanding . The two at Calvary become one new perfect law
Beautiful gospel message in the Psalms
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. Psalm 19: 7-9
Altogether. Apart from each other they cannot provide salvation.

Where on GOD's green earth, did you get that statement that I highlighted above in DARK RED ? ? ?
You even said it came from 1 John 2, but there is no such verse that even comes close in 1 John 2.
Are you saying that YOU DO NOT LISTEN TO BIBLE THEOLOGIANS, Pastors, or Teachers, because you think they are all influenced by the Antichrist ? ? ? If so, No Wonder your Theology got WAY OFF CENTERED.
1 John 2:19 (NIV)
19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
WHAT IS THE LAST CHURCH YOU ACTUALLY ATTENDED ? ? ?
HERE IS WHY I ASKED:
Ephesians 4:11-13 (NASB)
11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,
12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ;
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.
Hebrews 10:23-25 (ESV)
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.
24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
If You are not in a good Bible Teaching Church, tell me where you are LOCATED, and I will do the research, so that YOU can get some serious BIBLE TEACHING.
Yes there are some Churches that teach ERRORS, but I will not recommend one of them.
