Verse 2 and verse 3 are two different verses, so just stop with the straw man, OK?
ahahahaha wow
it is not a "
strawman" it's the truth.
1 John 5:2 & 1 John 5:4 are absolutely not wholly removed from 1 John 5:3
it's literally the immediate context.
verse numbers are not inspired; they are added in the 13th or 14th century. by as you call them, "
Jesuit papast jerks"
they're pretty useful to be sure.
but it certainly doesn't mean you can have v.3 while you ignore v.2 and v.4
1 John 5:2-4 are all one thought. within it,
agapao is equivocated with
agape.
rightly so, because the verb and the noun are one precept.
the command is
agapao one another as Christ has
agapao'ed us.
not agape. agapao.
not that there is any difference.
you are textbook case of "
twisting scripture" -- as the orange man says, sad.
you are literally arguing to ignore v.2 and ignore v.4 so i can believe a doctrinally unsound false teaching of v. 3, your completely private & heretical skewing of v.3
how does this not occur to you how ridiculous your arguments are??
get over it.
deal with it.
stop pretending it isn't so.
your private interpretations are utterly untenable, as demonstrated over literal years of sound doctrinal refutation by dozens of learned Christians spanning several websites.
you are wrong.
your vendetta against believers is of no affect; Christ saves us & no amount of personal twisting of the Word of God on your part can undo it.
i'm secure. time to stop trying to make me doubt; you can never do that, because my salvation depends on God, not your opinion.
why don't you come clean with this forum and plainly let everyone know the only reason you're bringing this up is because you want anyone who believes to stop believing and start doubting?
because you want to use Matthew 24 to accuse the brethren?
ya know, life-goals?
i will plainly state my purpose here:
to praise the LORD Jesus Christ, who saves me, in Whom are all my streams, in Whom i am hidden, from Whom no one can separate me, Who is faithful to the end and Whose lovingkindness is everlasting
i went. now you go.
tell us all about why you say what you say
