And anti-KJVers wonder why we should only rely on the KJV for the meat of His words as I have been saying.By claiming that Jesus is God (immortal), people like Godbe4Us make the following error as pointed out by the apostle John:
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, even they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
There is absolutely zero Gospel verse that prove Jesus had dual natures of mortality and immortality in him. What the Gospel does say is he was mortal and the Spirit of God came upon him. It makes no sense either because what is immortal cannot suffer a mortal death. Isn’t that what immortality means? Jesus did suffer a mortal death so that alone negates all claims that he was God (immortal).
What people are saying when they say Jesus was immortal, however, is to subtly deny that he was truly flesh. John the apostle said such a claim originates from the antichrist.
Let's go back a Book and see what John is really talking about in 2 John 1:7 because this is about testing the spirits in regards to our faith in knowing where Jesus Christ presently dwells at
1 John 4:1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
What the apostle John is saying in verse 2 is the same as what Paul is saying here below;
2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
We can know that this is what John was really talking about in testing the spirits by what we read next.
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. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
See that? The testimony here in testing the spirits is that Jesus Christ is in us and not outside of us in the world and certainly not coming over a believer again and again and again by its visitations of signs & lying wonders. Indeed, those who promote another baptism with the Holy Ghost with evidence of tongues or by that sign of tongues are committing spiritual adultery for why that tongue is not coming with interpretation & thus assumed for private use as they speak gibberish nonsense as the world speaks in pagan's supernatural tongue which can be found in Roman idolatries, the occult ( Isaiah 8:19 ) world's religions, & cults within Christianity.
1 John 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
So when John says...
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. KJV
This is about abiding in Him as His disciples; this is not testifying they are not saved or they were never brothers at all.
I know you will probably not read this whole thing and so I will leave it to God to lead you to look up these passages about the falling away from the faith in these latter days 1 timothy 4:1 & 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 where in 2 Thessalonians 2:13-15, Paul reminds believers of the traditions taught of us is that we had received the sanctification of the Spirit & the belief of the truth at the calling of the gospel and no other times so that we know it is a lie to receive the holy Ghost again apart from salvation or for sinners to seek after the Holy Spirit as proof or a sign that they are saved because of what Jesus said here in Matthew 12:39-40.
Even though Paul mentions a damnation in verse 12 of 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 of those going astray, he goes on to address those that have fallen away from the faith & walk disorderly as they do in slain in the spirit, holy laughter movement and even some do a fall in seeking another baptism with the Holy Ghost with evidence of tongues, that we are commanded to withdraw from them, but not to treat them as the enemy, but admonish them as brothers.
2 Thessalonians 3:14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
Unless they depart from this iniquity, then they run that risk of damnation of being left behind and becoming vessels unto dishonor in His House when they are resurrected after the great tribulation as vessels of wood & earth 2 Timothy 2:19-21 So the NLT would damn them as having no relationship but the KJV is about they have a relationship but they are not abiding in Him at this time as they are at risk of damnation of becoming vessels unto dishonor but still in His House unless they repent with His help before the Bridegroom comes.
Anyway, 2 John 1:7 is really about were Jesus Christ is presently and that in according to our faith, He is in us. John was never talking about the heresy that Jesus never came in the flesh even though church history records such a heresy but that was not what the apostle John was actually talking about back then earlier than church history
