Some thoughts for you and especially the latter (end), are you up to answering these points?
No pastes, just the you after considering the points.
3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus [acknowledging that He has come in the flesh, but would deny any of the Son’s true nature] is not of God;
this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and is now already in the world.
Rev 22:18-19 - For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Have you heard that some have a LOG in the eye?
Anything that is not of God and professes to be of God, is NOT of God, so as I said, I would ditch this Bible of yours and close THAT Door!
I and I expect Mr G, do not deny Jesus came in the flesh and was the Christ = Anointed one.
However, Do YOU understand that when it says Jesus came in the flesh that it is referring to AFTER his Baptism where he received the Spirit/Word of His Father and your Father and His God and Your God?
John 17:18 As thou hath sent me into the world, "even so" have I also sent them into the world.
So Jesus after he had the Word (John 1:1) of His God and Fathers, he was sent into the world to FINISH the God & Fathers works.
Jesus gave these words of Life Eternal to the ones God Gave him, hence Jesus then sent them into the world.
These are the eternal words that were with God, and are God in the Beginning, The Word of Life 1 John 1:1.
AND,,, do you know the words of John WERE written so you know that Jesus is the SON OF God and Not God Almighty himself?
Have you bothered to notice in John that Thomas was in ear shot when Jesus said - The Father his God dwelt in Him?
AND therefore when Thomas saw Jesus and touched him and remembered what Jesus said was true and hence Thomas looking at Jesus then said, My Lord referring to Jesus in front of him and then My God referring to the One that was IN Jesus?
Did you read in the Bible that before Abraham was even born, God had Jesus already slain in his plans for his future one?
Did you also read, that Abraham was also told by God of his future Seed and how Abraham rejoiced thinking or possibly seeing a vision of this future day?
Did you read in John where Jesus confirmed that God already had this plan in place before Abraham was born, because Jesus said before Abraham was, I am (was) as in, the plan of Me was already in place?
And that, it was known as the Hidden mystery IN God?
And that WHEN and NOT before, the times were fulfilled, God sent Jesus (baptism timing forward), to reveal this/his Mystery?
Did you read - Heb 1:1-2 - God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
As in, The word said unto me and the Spirit said unto me = one in the Same, Spirit/Word ref John 1:1.
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Do you believe the above in that, Jesus never spoke prior to this time?
If you do - Can you possibly see how it would be impossible for Jesus to be the word in John 1:1 BECAUSE The Word in John 1:1 & 2, although STILL IN God, is the same word that was responsible for the creation account as shown in John 1:3?
Do you know that your Spirit has thoughts and likewise, so does God's?
These thoughts as you would obviously know, start out IN You, so would you accept they are still part of you?
Would you agree that these could and do come out of you in Your Word?
Before they come out of you, would you agree they are WITH You?
When you first had these thoughts, would you agree "they" had a beginning?
Would you agree that these thoughts could actually be a plan or part of a plan that you had?
As the above would obviously come out of you as your word, and lets say this plan of your was well known by quite a few others, would you agree that if you wanted to sum this all up and say give it a tile so we don't have to describe every part of it, that we could say it was The Word as in OF You?
So if I wanted to sum up and describe the above to you, would it not be reasonable to say it like;
In the Beginning was The Word (your thoughts, plan, reasoning) , the Word (thoughts, plan and reasoning) was with you, and You were The Word (thoughts, plan and reasoning).
And would you agree The same, this, it (thoughts, plans and reasoning) was in the beginning with you.
And would you agree, none of these thoughts, plans and reasoning came about without you?
