INTRODUCTION TO 2 JOHN (Part 2):

IV. ABOUT I JOHN:

I John was written to combat the beginnings of Gnosticism. Gnostic is from the Greek word that means knowledge. The Gnostics claimed to have special knowledge that no one else could know unless they were one of the initiated ones.

These false teachers and teachings arose from within the church. Gnostic doctrine was based on dualism which asserted that physical matter was inherently evil, and spirit was good.

At the time John was leading the churches in Asia, Gnosticism had two main groups:

1. Docetics taught that Jesus's physical body was not real but only seemed to be physical. This is known as asceticism from a Greek word that means "to appear."

2. Cerenthians taught that Christ's Spirit descended upon the human Jesus at his baptism but left him just before the crucifixion.

The main teaching about Jesus from this movement denied the Lord's humanity in order to support the Lord's sinless nature.

V. ABOUT II JOHN:

II John was written right after I John. II John was written to combat the infiltration of Gnostic teaching into the church.

VI. ABOUT III JOHN:

III John was written shortly after II John. This letter was written to instruct the church about the responsibilities of genuine hospitality.

INTRODUCTION TO 2 JOHN (Part 1):

Most of this introduction will be the same as I presented in 1 John in which I shared an overall introduction to all three books.

I. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

The Apostle John. The Apostle John is not John the Baptist.

The Apostle John had a brother by the name of James. They were known as "The Sons of Zebedee" ( Matthew 10:2-4). Jesus gave them the name "The Sons of Thunder" ( Mark 3:17).

John, Peter, and James were the inner circle of the disciples of Jesus and spent many special times with the Lord ( Matthew 17:1; Matthew 26:37).

The Apostle John was the only original apostle not to die a martyr's death.

John wrote the Gospel of John, I, II and III John, and the Book of Revelation.

II. ABOUT THE RECIPIENTS:

The Apostle John wrote I, II and III John to the churches of Asia Minor over which John exercised Apostolic leadership in his later years. Most of the recipients of his letters were Jewish believers but the letters were written for all of the believers in the churches.

III. ABOUT THE DATE AND LOCATION:

I John was written sometime in the late 80s or early 90s A.D. It is believed John's letters were written soon after he composed the Gospel of John. All five of John's letters were written from Ephesus where he spent his elder years leading the churches in Asia Minor.

INTRODUCTION TO 1 JOHN (Part 7):

VIII. ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP OF 1, 2 AND 3 JOHN WITH THE REST OF THE NEW TESTAMENT:

John's letters were the last written in the New Testament.

Four of the letters are classified in the Jewish Literature section of the New Testament since John wrote mostly to the believing Jews who were scattered in Asia Minor.

IX. SECTION OUTLINE OF 1 JOHN

CHAPTER 1: The Doctrine of God

CHAPTER 2: The Doctrine of Genuine Confession. (People who say, but their life doesn't line up).

CHAPTER 3: The Doctrine of Sin

CHAPTER 4: The Doctrine of Love

CHAPTER 5: The Doctrine of Salvation

This is where John gives a list of assurances for those who are saved. And he says if you meet the conditions, then he gives you the assurances that indeed you are saved and will be with Christ.

So that last chapter is sort of a summary of everything that he has spoken of in the four chapters presented, as an assurance to the believers.

I will share the introduction to 2 John next.

INTRODUCTION TO 1 JOHN (Part 6):

VI. ABOUT 3 JOHN:

Here's another "Heavy enlightenment." 3 John was written shortly after 2 John. Don't ask me how I figured that out!

This letter was written to instruct the church about the responsibilities of genuine hospitality.

VII. ABOUT THE THEME AND STYLE OF JOHN'S LETTERS:

John's main theme is to correct the doctrine of the humanity of Jesus Christ.

And let me just say to you what is the correct doctrine of Jesus Christ. Number 1, He is 100% God, and 100% man, when He came.

When John wrote his gospel, he presented the deity of Jesus Christ, that He was God come in human form. In 1 John, he's presenting the humanity of Jesus Christ, that is, the human form that God came in.

When you put the two together, the gospel of John and 1 John, then you have the doctrine of Jesus Christ, which John mentions in 2 John that if they do not have the doctrine of Jesus Christ, do not let them into your home.

The subtheme is the assurance of salvation for genuine believers. John presents these themes in factual statements rather than generalizations. He comes right out and tells you, "If you're saying this, but you're doing this, you're not saved." That's just the way it is, no gray area!

I John contains a series of conditional phrases describing the differences between doctrinal truth and error, as well as contrasting a genuine believer with a false one.

INTRODUCTION TO 1 JOHN (Part 5):

In our day, we have some legalism. Most of the problems we have today come from Gnosticism, special knowledge and revelation that's not found in the scripture, but that God seemingly gives to those "special people" who can determine what we call insight.

You hear somebody speak, and they take two pieces of scripture and put it together a certain way, and you go, "Wow, how did they come up with that? That person really has some spiritual insight. I never would have seen that." That's because it's not there!

The main teaching about Jesus from this movement denied the Lord's humanity in order to support the Lord's sinless nature. Their reasoning was that if He was sinless, then He couldn't have had a physical body.

But we will see in 1 John that he will use language to address all of the issues that were going on with the Gnostics. He's writing to the believers, but he writing to them in light of the Gnostic doctrine that is just beginning to spread through the churches.

V. ABOUT 2 JOHN:

2 John is one chapter long. It was written right after 1 John. How do you like that for insight?

2 John was written to combat the infiltration of Gnostic teaching into the church. And what I mean by that is that the church met in homes. They didn't meet in public church buildings. So, they had a problem, because in order for the Gnostics to infiltrate the church, they had to come to the church meeting in the homes. And so, John had some instruction there, not to let them into your home.

I think it is interesting, because in our day, we love to have non-believers come. I'm not saying that they shouldn't, but sometimes we actually highlight that, like "We're here for one reason, and one reason only, to bring in the unsaved!"

But John says if you bring the unsaved in, spiritually you will have a big problem. We'll see that in 2 John.

INTRODUCTION TO 1 JOHN (Part 4):

It's kind of interesting that the false teachers that taught Gnosticism didn't come from outside the church, but inside the church. They started spreading this in the church, and so the church had to do something about it.

Gnostic doctrine was based on dualism which asserted that physical matter was inherently evil, and spirit was good. They taught that everything physical is evil, and everything spirit is good.

At the time John was leading the churches in Asia, Gnosticism had two main groups. One was the Docetic Gnostics. They taught that Jesus's physical body was not real but only seemed to be physical. This is known as asceticism from a Greek word that means "to appear."

They said it appeared to be a body, but it was not a physical body because physical is evil, therefore He could not have had a physical body. So, they denied His humanity. They believed in His Deity, but they denied His humanity.

Then there were the Cerinthians, led by Cerinthus, who taught that Christ's Spirit descended upon the human Jesus at his baptism, but left him just before the crucifixion.

So, what they came up with was that Jesus really did have a physical body, but it was like their version of "rent a body," in that here's Jesus standing there to get baptized, and the Spirit of Christ comes upon Him, and Christ takes over Jesus' body and uses Him for three years.

And right when they went to crucify Jesus, Christ left Jesus and they crucified Jesus up on the cross, and that's why He says "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"

But hey "it's scripture if you piece it all together!" This is what is meant by Gnosticism.

INTRODUCTION TO 1 JOHN (Part 3):

II. ABOUT THE RECIPIENTS:

The Apostle John wrote 1, 2 and 3 John to the churches of Asia Minor over which John exercised apostolic leadership in his later years.

Most of the recipients of his letters were Jewish believers but the letters were written for all of the believers in the churches.

III. ABOUT THE DATE AND LOCATION:

I John was written sometime in the late 80s or early 90s A.D. It is believed that John's letters were written soon after he composed the Gospel of John.

All five of John's letters were written from Ephesus where he spent his elder years leading the churches in Asia Minor.

IV. ABOUT I JOHN:

1 John was written to combat the beginnings of Gnosticism (from the Greek word for knowledge). The Gnostics claimed to have special knowledge that no one else could know unless they were one of the initiated ones.

What that means is that they would take scriptures and sort of piece them together, and then fill in some "special revelation" in between that you and I would never come up with just by looking at the scriptures. But they claimed that they had "special knowledge."

At the time John was dealing with Gnosticism in these churches over in Asia Minor, Paul had already dealt with legalism. Gnosticism flourished around the third century.

But Gnosticism was just beginning, and the Gnostics claimed to have special knowledge. And I'll share one of them here with you in a moment. These false teachers and teachings arose from within the church.

INTRODUCTION TO 1 JOHN (Part 2):

NOW FOR THE INTRODUCTION TO 1, 2, & 3 JOHN.

I. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

The Apostle John is the author. He is not to be confused with John the Baptist. He is a completely different person. We can get confused with the different people by the name of John in the scriptures. This is the Apostle John, one of the original 12 Apostles.

The Apostle John had a brother by the name of James. They were known as "The Sons of Zebedee" ( Matthew 10:2-4). Zebedee was their father.

Jesus gave them the name "The Sons of Thunder" ( Mark 3:17). As they travelled with Jesus and the other disciples, they were the ones that said if people rejected Christ, they wanted to know if the Lord wanted to call fire down from heaven and consume them. They wanted to be the guys that blow everybody up if they don't believe. So, they're called the "Sons of Thunder" by Jesus.

John, Peter, and James were the inner circle of the disciples of Jesus and spent many special times with the Lord, on the Mount of Transfiguration in Matthew 17:1. Also, in the garden before Jesus died, the three of them were with Him as He was praying in Matthew 26:37.

The Apostle John was the only original apostle not to die a martyr's death. Tradition says that they tried to kill him by dipping him in burning oil. But when he came out, he wasn't harmed. So, they put him out on the island of Patmos to serve his time out there. And it was on the island of Patmos where he received what we know as the book of Revelation.

John wrote the Gospel of John, 1, 2 and 3 John, and the Book of Revelation.

INTRODUCTION TO 1 JOHN (Part 1):

I shared with you that Hebrews through Revelation is known as the Jewish Literature Section of the Bible. As we go through the Jewish literature, it becomes more intense the further we get into the Jewish literature section. Hebrews was pretty general. James started to become more specific. 1 Peter was pretty intense and urgent.

But now as we get into 1 John, we're going to get into a book that many pastors like to stay out of because John presents not only the true doctrine of Jesus Christ for his day, but he also provides a checklist if you will, a series of tests where a person can know whether they're really saved or not.

And John is not "wishy-washy." He doesn't present any gray areas. He's considered to be a polemic writer, very controversial. He wouldn't be somebody that you would want to invite to your church to speak because he's not going to mince words. He's going to give his presentation and say here's the truth, and you can say that you are saved, but if you don't measure up to the truth then you're not saved. It's as simple as that!

And so, these letters become more and more intense, ending up with the book of Revelation which is very intense, the judgment of God.

Hello Chris.

In grk those words are called synonyms. They are different words with the same meaning. ie church(ekklesia), synagogue(synagoge), congregation(synaxis), they mean the same, a gathering. The anc grks used them to express the same thing. Later, the church was used for the christian congregation and synagogue for the Jewish one. Today in some churches, the word church means the building where christians gather.

Now as I said to GiGi the respective word for gospel in grk (evangelion) actually means good message/news (in ancient greek). Any good message, not only the good news of salvation. The grk for gospel (evangelion) is a very ancient word. It first appears in Homer's poem, the "Iliad" in the 8th centuary BC, for the good message of a victory in a battle, also for the price given to him who brings the good news, or even the sacrifice that was offered to Gods for their support in a victory. In Roman times evangelion(gospel) was any good news from or about the Emperor. So it was not used just for Jesus' gospel. And with this meaning we should apply it in Heb 4:2. If we look it up in other Eng. translations, we find out that all of them translate it more or less as "good news spoken", I can not figure out why the KJV translaters prefered the phrase "gospel preached". Maybe there was no difference at that time. Maybe they really thought that it was Christ's gospel that was spoken to Hebrews, although the context of that chapter does not give that impression.

Hello Shylesh.

All translations say the same thing,

"separate themselves" means they separate themselves and those who follow them from the rest of the church. "Makers of sectes" or "cause divisions" say the same thing.

Dear Ahalfeleven

I am so sorry to hear of your wife's request. I will certainly pray for you, her and your marriage.

Dear Heavenly Father, this marriage is in such trouble right now so we ask that You will step in and stop this divorce from occurring and bring back to both partners the love they had for one another at the start. We ask that You bring this wife to you inn faith in Your Son, Jesus. Restore this marriage to be better than it has ever been and continue to bless these two with love, faithfulness, compassion, servanthood, and graciousness to forgive one another from the heart. Father, bring honor to your holy name in this situation and comfort to these two who are in a painful time in their relationship. Comfort and heal hearts, minds, and each person in this family. We ask these things of You, Father, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Hello Frankie

Sometimes salvation is an instant process like with that guard in Philippi and Lydia or the thief on the cross, but sometimes it takes time for one to get their heart in a condition of repentance.

But there is a diference between been saved and get perfected. Once we are saved by believing in Christ we start our course of sanctification. We are not perfect when we are saved, we still have our weaknesses, pasions, our bad character, etc. And now we strive, with the aid of the Spirit, to get rid the old sinful man and dress up the new man in Christ. This procedure takes time, a whole lifetime actually. And there is always the danger of getting out of that course. Maybe what you want to say is that the salvation we were given at first is not secured untill the end of our course in life.GBU

Acts 10:9-16

Hardening of the heart

when one rejects Light/Truth no matter what stage of growth one attain too,

they began to wither, darkness covers the eyes of one understanding & the ear become dull of hearing. Their love becomes cold

One's knowledge becomes tainted, their faith feign & if continue in becomes vain.

The thing about deception is, one doesn't know when one has or is being deceived.

Satan uses all his power, in signs & lying wonders with all deceivableness of unrighteous to deceive &

By the way all you who's knowledge is by the letter & book learning, being persuaded that your in the Spirit, your deceived. Only the Spirit can interpret the Scriptures for they are spiritually discerned. & any spirit that tells you otherwise is the spirit of the antichrist. The word power there in 2 Thess 2:9 is the same word power that used in Act 1:8

Satan has No lack of power to deceive.

God in His great love for us gives us Light, that appears to all mankind, whereby we may come out of this deception

To love the Truth more than ourselves, it is a gift from God 2 Thess 2:10 by receiving a love for the Truth. Fulfill the greatest commandment & the second likewise.

Don't allow Satan to cause God to send you strong delusions causing you believe a lie. Be still, become truthful with yourselves. I have, with the good, the bad & the very ugly in my past & God has rewarded me according to the simplicity & integrity of my heart towards Him & my fellow human being & is presently turning my once stony heart into a heart of flesh, enabling me to receive Him daily in everyday ordinary life experiences. Pick up the Cross, follow the Spirit as William Penn said, in the NT only the obedient eat the good of this land. John 14:15

In love & truth.

Hi David, I don't know what you and your family may be going through, but I pray that you will be encouraged to continually seek God. I pray that you will trust and have faith that God is with you and your family, may God give you strength and peace and may you remember the word of God tells us in Ephesians 3 verse 20, now unto him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. I pray that whatever the situation, you will place it before God.

The problems of the U.S. and the entire world are not political, I believe they are spiritual. Unless genuine repentance occurs, the disastrous decline will in all likelihood continue.

Romans 14:11 "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."

Praying for Thy Kingdom to come!

Get ready

Isaiah 33:10-14KJV

10 Now will I rise, saith the Lord; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

13 Hear, ye that are far off(the Gentiles peoples), what I have done; and, ye that are near (the Jews, the clay), acknowledge my might.

14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us SHALL DWELL with the devouring fire? who among us SHALL DWELL with everlasting burnings?

1 CORINTHIANS 3:13-15KJV

13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

***This comment was inadvertently posted in the wrong thread. I have deleted that comment and am now reposting in the correct thread***

Chris,

Please see my response to what I thought was your last. And with which I agree regarding our disparate beliefs.

In this comment you are suggesting that Romans 3 is "only addressed" to those in Rome. Not true! While it is written to the Church in Rome addressing perhaps their misunderstanding of Mankind's condition, it, like the entire Bible, is written and addressed to all Mankind. And that statement is a statement of Mankind's condition, without exception, that has existed ever since Adam's first Sin of disobedience to God 's Law. That apart from God's Mercy in Salvation as He applies that Salvation to our life in making us Born Again, we are Spiritually Dead and in Bondage to Sin and Satan. And none of Mankind has any "inherent faith" that is pleasing to God and can result in Salvation.

To say it very plainly, you and I understand Salvation and the nature of the Bible quite differently.

I'm trying to find the scripture where the blanket is offered with the food, thought to be unclean, but God says eat.

Ronald,

I do not agree that the Bible teaches what you are suggesting regarding the Nature of the Godhead and the deity of the LORD Jesus Christ. The verses that I quoted speak for themselves very clearly. Every verse that you quote is absolutely true, but must be interpreted in the light of every verse in the Bible that relates. And when it comes to the Nature of God Himself we will never come to a complete understanding in our finite minds.

Most seriously though, and I am very certain of this, if we are following a gospel where Christ is not Eternal God Himself, then we have no Savior and we are still in our sins. But as long as we have the breath of life there is hope that God might open our spiritual eyes and lead us into Truth.

I have no more to say on the matter and so will leave it there.

Thank you for this discussion and may the LORD Richly Bless You.

Frankie,

We are only "blameless" if Christ has paid for our sins and we have become Born Again. Then the Righteousness of Christ is imputed to us and we no longer stand guilty before the Law of God. No saved person will ever become "blameless" or "faultless" while living in their fleshly body.

When we become Born Again, God does give us a New Resurrected Soul which, in itself, cannot sin. But that Soul still resides in a Body that has not been "saved" and still lusts after sin. And so, while every True Believer will have an earnest ongoing desire to be obedient to the Law of God and will continue to Grow in Grace, they will never attain a state of Sinless Perfection in regard to keeping the Law of God. Hence the Apostle Paul's statement "the good that I would I do not; but the evil that I would not, that I do."

At the Last Day when all True Believers will be Resurrected / Raptured, they will receive their Resurrected Spiritual Bodies. At that time every True Believer will become Sinless in their whole personality and will live and reign with Christ in that state throughout Eternity in the New Heavens and New Earth.

From reading this and some of your other comments, you seem to have an incorrect understanding regarding the Nature of Salvation. I do pray that God might lead us both into Truth as we search the scriptures.

But thank you for you comment. And may the LORD richly bless you.

you say the law of Moses was there condemnation, yes indeed; to those who did not obey it, but what is it to those who do, but there glory, in the measure that God was please to reveal of His Grace which was freely given under the OT gospel

Deuternomy 4:6-9

There is no respect of persons with GOD.

As many as have sinned without law(THE GENTILES) shall also PERISH without law: and as many as have sinned in the law(THE JEWS EXCLUSIVELY) shall be JUDGED by the law;

5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the Day of wrath (the Lord's Day, the seventh and last Day) and revelation of the righteous Judgment of GOD;

6 Who will render to every MAN according to his deeds:

7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, ETERNAL LIFE:

8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the Truth, but obey unrighteousness, INDIGNATION AND WRATH,

9 TRIBULATION AND ANGUISH (from now on, the beginning of sorrows-Matt.24:3-8), upon EVERY SOUL of man that doeth evil, of the Jew FIRST, and also of the Gentile;

10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew FIRST, and also to the Gentile:

11 For there is no respect of persons with GOD.

12 For as many as have sinned WITHOUT LAW (THE GENTILES) shall also PERISH without LAW; and as many as have sinned in the LAW(THE JEWS) shall be JUDGED by the LAW;

13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before GOD, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

14 For when the GENTILES, which HAVE NOT THE LAW, do by nature the things contained in the LAW, these, having NOT the LAW, are a LAW unto themselves:

15 Which shew the work of the LAW written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

16 In this Day(the Lord's Day, this seventh and last Day) when GOD shall Judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to MY GOSPEL. (TRIBULATION AND ANGUISH (from now on, the beginning of sorrows-Matt.24:3-8), upon EVERY SOUL of man that doeth evil, of the Jew FIRST, and also of the Gentile;

Concerning Hebrews 9:14

The cleansing offer here, is from the evil one, who rules in the old Adamic nature, the first birth.

The dead works are by Satan influence upon hearts & minds, thus we yielding our member unto unrighteousness Rom 6:16

The law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus is obedience to the Spirit. Rom 8:14

Hebrews 10:5-10

The nature of the Salvation that Christ offer was to rid us of sin. John 1:29 "ONCE & FOR ALL".

Bring us to a life of obedience, by the Spirit through the new birth 1Pet 1:2

Hebrews 10:14-18 Where the remission of these are, there is no more offering for sin.

& why, as stated in v 16,17 , the expression here is they that are sanctified, by obedience to His holy will & are made perfect, they sin no more. Christ being formed in the heart by God writing His Commandment on the tablet of our heart & placing His fear there Jeremiah 32:40

Hebrews 10:26-31

If we sin willfully after receiving the knowledge of the Truth, the Grace of God that appears to all mankind Titus 2:11-13

The Holy Spirit who John 16:8

2 of 2

When He appears in Spirit teaching us to discern between Good & evil & we repent with godly sorrow, remission of whatsoever sin is granted, except blasphemy of Holy Spirit. The Blood of Jesus cleanses us of the sin itself & from the influence of the evil one, that we're not to continue in it any longer or we're troddening under foot the Son of God, counting the Blood/Life of Jesus, the Covenant, an unholy thing & doing despite to the Spirit of Grace, turning Grace into lasciviousness & wantonness.

Folks, this is the true gospel, that has the living Power of God to save unto the uttermost to all that come to Him by faith, His spiritual appearance within our heart / conscience, "The still small Voice". The letter of either covenant cannot reach here, the letter is knowledge, a form of godliness without the Power of His Life/Spirit, & yet it was given unto us as a Witness & Points to the Spirit by which all the saints in the Scriptures were taught, led & saved by.

A personal testimony

Its not an instance salvation, as taught today's in Babylon's Christianity, describe in Rev 17; Mystery Babylon, but is reveal by the Spirit in Philippians 2:12 Rom13:3 1Pet 1:5-9 as a work in progress after we first believe.

Its takes time to purge out the old leaven, from faith to faith, glory to glory; God's mercy & longsuffering love takes us by the hand & leads us to conquer one enemy at a time, in cleansing the house, until we're thoroughly purged Luke 3:17 gathers us unto the Gardner, becoming fit for the Master use & the end, a crown of righteousness unto everlasting life. '

Its truly is fighting the good fight of Faith, the hearing of the Word of God in our heart.

In love & truth

Hi David0921,

I agree wholeheartedly, but if we look at it this is where this doctrine came from, the writings and ideas of men. The Old and the New Testaments are the inspired word of God. You can find Scriptures that may fit this doctrine, but that is if we have a preconceived knowledge of it before we read it.

I agree with you, Scripture interprets Scripture, and God gives us understanding through His Spirit. We also need to be aware if we have preconceived thoughts of any Scripture these thoughts can blind our eyes and ears to the truth from the Holy Spirit.

Nowhere in the entire Bible is it taught or even discussed. You would think how this doctrine has been placed as a foundation of Christianity and even as many say salvation is dependent on belief in it, but nowhere in the Bible is it mentioned. Scripture is clear about our salvation and there is not a jot or tittle including this doctrine that was written almost 400 years later.

Thank you, David, for your caring replies and discussion of this, I guess we can leave it with that.

God bless,

RLW

God's Commandments are a symbol of His love for us, and obedience to His commandments is a statement of our love for Him.

1 John 3:24 "And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us."

quoting you; no one but Christ could fully keep it

Luke 1:6 Philippians 3:6

to use your own tools of understanding

blameless!

, ( to blame), blameless, deserving no censure, free from fault or defect: Luke 1:6; Philippians 2:15; Philippians 3:6; 1 Thessalonians 3:13 Hebrews 8:7 (in which nothing is lacking); in the Sept. equivalent to , Job 1:1, 8 etc

Do you think, that perhaps you could be blinded here?

In KJV it says

Jude 1:19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

(looks like, this speaks about causing problem to himself)

But in Tyndale it says

Jude 1:19 These are makers of sectes fleshlie havynge no sprete.

(looks like, this speaks about causing problem to the church)

In BSB it says: These are the ones who cause divisions, who are worldly and devoid of the Spirit.

Which one is correct "separate themselves" or "makers of sectes" or "cause divisions" as in other translations?

Because both "separate themselves" and "cause divisions" are different in meaning.
