Hi Bertie, Welcome to the forum. I think that we can apply 1 John 4:2 to other occasions in the Scripture where Jesus Christ is being judged by false prophets and leaders. What we want to do however is to honor the Son. This is not a strange god among us. The Word became flesh and we beheld His glory. God is Spirit and we have not seen Him, but we have seen His Son. So who are some of the false teachers in the Scriptures? Luke 11:23 and Matthew 12:30 say that "He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters." 1) Some of the Jews did not hear the words of God and were not of God. John 8:48, "The Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?" Jesus told them that "you dishonor (Me)". 2) Pilate asked Jesus "Are You the King of the Jews?" He didn't know the Truth. John 18:37, "Pilate therefore said to Him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say [correctly] that I am a king. For this I/ have been born, and for this I have come into the world,... Pilate said to my mind, "What is Truth?" and yet he crucified the (King) of the Jews. 3) This is not a strange god among us. The sons of Aaron offered strange fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them. Leviticus 10:1. Leviticus 10:1, "Then Moses said to Aaron, "It is what the Lord/ spoke, saying, 'By those who come near Me I will be treated as holy, And before all the people (I) will be honored." John 8:49, "Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I/ honor My Father, and you dishonor (Me)." John 5:22, "For not even the Father/ judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, 23 in order that all may honor the (Son),..." Matthew 13:57, "And they took offense at Him/. But Jesus said to them, "A *Prophet is not without honor except in (His) home town, and in *His own household." And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief." The *stars are denoting pronouns that are not capitalized in the NASB. The parentheses are mine for comparisons. I hope this is helpful. From the heart, Ray |
