Consider using the Bible app (by "Youversion"), some versions of the Bible offer audio versions such as NLT. I am not dyslexic, but it's been a huge help for me because I don't really like reading lol.

@Johnny Casteel wah?

[@gramerw1]

Amen. Pure genius. In its elegance of simplicity, visual acuity. And clear language the demystifies so much.

[@joshuatheunkownuniverse.2475]

@Johnny Casteel who is this guy? Where do they come from?

[@SylvEdu]

Note how in John's first epistle he begins talking about the anti-Christ's and how they deny Christ's Divinity, then he talks about the false-Prophets and how they try to use Christ's Divinity to deliver untrue revelation. This is a perfect parallel for John's Revelation in which he talks about the First Beast, the Anti-Christ, and the Second Beast, the False-Prophet. Seems clear to me that the First Beast is a system that denies Christ, and the second beast is a system that uses Christ to accomplish the will of the First Beast. That's why John warns us against loving the world in his epistle. The Second Beast will fool the very elect (if it were possible) by promoting worldly things with Christian doctrine wrongly applied.

[@suchbros]

This is quite interesting. I have not seen this parallel before. Thanks for sharing.

I feel that. God loves you. I came here wanting to listen to the John's after I guess I could call it realizing just how powerful and holy God really is, and how terrifying it would be to try to be with God... because of our position compared to Him.. but Jesus gave us the only way to be in relationship with God, and then just realizing how Jesus and God and His Spirit are One, it's awe inspiring.. and that He is relational to be in relationship with us and has not only perfect holiness but perfect LOVE for me and you and everyone who will choose Him, it's incredible

It's almost hard to believe that at the formation of the New Testament canon, John's letters almost didn't make it! It was only John's personal knowledge and witness of Jesus that kept these letters in. What a deeply important message written by a loyal disciple! If Jesus is not raised, we are all lost in our sins. But, Jesus is raised, so we have eternal victory and hope. John speaks so much on the importance (and essence) of God and His LOVE. Happy Easter to all.

Hi, John says this as he never doubted Jesus love for him! Although it may seem like an arrogant thing to say about yourself, it is in fact so beautiful.
