Discuss John 2 Page 27

1 John 2:1-2, My little children, these things write I unto THAT YE SIN NOT. And IF any man sin we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous. There is a way, Jesus Christ the Righteous. If people want it, it's there. If people don't, that's up to them. It's appointed once to die then judgment.

Judeth - Maybe salvation is only for the Jews but 1st John 2:2 says that God has included the whole world in His salvation plan. Jesus has died to take away the sins of the whole world. The implication is that whosoever believes in Jesus Christ will not perish but have everlasting life. That is salvation. John 3:16

Wayne: are you saying you're so holy and righteous. That you never sinned again. Read 1 John 1:9- 1John 2:1-2 read it and think about it. Before salvation the Sinner would sin hundreds, thousands a times a day and love it! After Salvation they hate it and can't stand it but sometimes they put their hand to it,then they're miserable they can't continually keep sinning. If they do they are not Saved

"And needed not that any should testify of man ... "; Jesus was speaking of His physical body, the man and not the Spirit of God in Him. He knew there were people that would proclaim the 'man' Jesus only and leave out the Spirit of God - just as they do with 'great evangelists' today.

Marie Rose: Tell your friend to read 1 John 2:3-4 concerning keeping the commandments. We
know him if we keep his commandments, if we do not keep the commandments, we are liars
and the truth is not in us. This is a clear statement from John. There is no other interpretation for these verses.

Jesus is The Word,The Bread,The Living Water,The Son of God,My Savior! Only by His Blood is there Salvation:Revelations 1:5 /you will be Baptized with The Holy Ghost and with Fire: Matthew 3:11 / The Spirit will help and guide you-- 1John 2:27 / only by reading His Word and telling others what He has done,will there be growth and understanding.No man can come to Jesus: John 6:44/ 2Corinthians 5:17

Felicia, I agree with you: the real Miraim (Mary) was a great sister Believer! and not what the Papists have made her out to be, with their blasphemous and unclean idolatries! She knew where Jesus came from, and it often said about her; that she kept the things said about Him, and pondered them in her heart. This is something every sister in the Lord can take as an example. She was a Saint.

Verse 5
I admire Jesus' mother for the confidence she had in her son Jesus. We should learn from her advice to the servants and also from the simple obedience of those servants which brought about that great miracle Jesus performed. Scripture cannot be broken, our blessing is tied up to our obedience to the word of God. Lord Jesus help us to trust and obey for there's no other way to be happy....

My little children, these things i write unto you that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 1John 2:1

Jn.2:4 - Jesus is God - "..... manifested in the flesh ..... ", Jn 1:14. He LOVED Mary and honored her as His mother - WHEN he was young. But now He is 30 yrs. of age and being God - He doesn't refer to her as 'Mother' because He knew what was coming in spite of His not acknowledging it - Mary worship, mother of God. Mary had the 'flesh' body of God, but not His spirit. God has always been. cont.

To Ryan
It may have been just the way they were at the time. My dad always called my mother woman but it wasn't a derogatory term or any thing like that; but it was just a product of that generation. The man had his duties; and his wife was looked upon as the woman of the house. So he called my mother woman when we were growing up. ItSureGotComplicatedLater however AsTheYoungerWomenCameAlong

why does Jesus calls his Mother Women

This chapter has important lessons for Christians. It presents a double test of faith and adherence to the command of God. Abraham demonstrated unshakable faith, a trait true Christians should hold dear. He also heeded the command of God not minding the sore consequence. As Christians,"Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it." ( John 2:5). God Himself used this episode to herald the sacrifice of Jesus

Keep in mind I John 2:22-23: Remember, it was Peter who acknowledged who Jesus was

Ethel: There was a large crowd of unbelievers that we're only there because of the miracles. Christ knows the hearts of men. He doesn't need anyone tell him about mans heart. That's why he told those he healed, tell no one, he didn't want large crowds that only believe in miracles. He could not put His trust in these people because of their hearts. Same today: bigger,more,but not my HEART= damned

I don't understand the last two verses .

To Felicia - You did know the WHOLE of the O.T. prophesies of Jesus .....? Lk. 24:44.

To Danny C verse 17
Jesus found the Temple turned into a market place (vv 14-15) and He grieved. They corrupted His Father's house and dishonoured Him. Ref. to v.17 - Isa 56:7; Ps 69:9; Matt 21:13. The disciples knew the Old Test they were John the Baptist's followers before and might have read Isa 56 over and over before so they remembered when Jesus mentioned it. Ps 69 is also Messianic.

A wretch: not sure what you meant by living in the law? That will bring spiritual death!Reading HIS WORD,Being in church that preaches heaven and hell,the joy of salvation,called of the FATHER John 6:44,forgiveness Acts2:38, things NEW! -- ll Corinthians 5:17. You will be changed! If you slip, l John 1:9- l John 2:1. Best thing that ever happened to me! The next day I woke up to a different world!

I John 2:1 says that we sin not. But if any man sin we have advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ The Righteous. His stripes and complete sacrifice paid our debt. And made it possible!

Dear Doris Johnson, School or university cannot teach the Word of God as God's Word is ALIVE and school university teaches tradition of men. Pray in sincerity asking the LORD JESUS CHRIST to teach you by the anointing of His Holy Spirit. Be blessed in CHRIST! Amen. 1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him

Repent asking for forgiveness and ask Christ into your heart. But do pray for others according to the Word. Be blessed in Christ Jesus. Amen. Acts 7:60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. 1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 1 John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

And that spirit of antichrist is now most prevalent in the last time as Satan is a king over all the children of pride. JESUS CHRIST is come in the flesh but pride stops ears and blinds eyes causing unbelief. John 5:47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? 1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists whereby we know that it is the last time. 1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come and even now already is it in the world.

One of the most important things to do is find yourself a good praying accountability partner. You will need to be very honest and communicate on a regular basis. Choose carefully.Having someone to share your struggles with will help. Second, find a Bible believing Church and be there when ever you can and finally and probably the most important, saturate yourself with God's Word. Read 1 John 2:14

Edward, God anoints man with His Holy Spirit by Jesus Christ our Lord. You begin seeing the world for what it is instead of what you were taught. Worldly, temporary, sinful things of the flesh lose importance while your love for Christ and fellow man increases. Repentance, obedience and ever increasing faith are essential gifts as well. The old man guided by you must pass away while the Holy Spirit increases in you and becomes your trusted guide with eyes on eternity. Daily prayer and study of God's Word are essential for this transformation. All of the aforementioned are gifts from God. I pray God you be born again! 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1 John 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 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. James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not and it shall be given him.

Heavenly Father, make us to walk in humility, righteousness and ever-increasing faith, that we may serve you in truth and charity through Christ Jesus our LORD who is most blessed for ever and ever! 1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists whereby we know that it is the last time. 1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

The good Wine.

This CHAPTER is a beautiful allegorical picture of Yahweh s faithfulness toward us as covenant people. Even though every one of us in times past have departed from him, sold under sin as Brother Paul proclaims, yet in His Ahavah-love for us, He loved us so dearly He sent His only begotten son into the world to be a propitiation for us. Romans 3:25, 1 John 2:2, 4:10. This fancy word means He literally bought us back after Adam s fall. Think of it. THE GREAT CREATOR HAS BECOME OUR REDEEMER. HE BOUGHT US BACK AFTER WE BETRAYED HIM FOR A LOVE OF THE WORLD, THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH, THE LUSTS OF THE EYE, AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE. PRAISE HIS DEAR SWEET NAME FOREVER. 1 JOHN 2:16
