Bible Note: I'll tell you what is plural and not singular in 1 John 2:27. '"You have no need for anyone to teach you." Both "you's" are plural and refer to the believing community as a whole; there is no ground here for a hyper-individualistic understanding of the Gospel wherein the views of other believers and the gathering of believers together are considered unimportant' (Jewish New Testament Commentary, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1992). I didn't say that everyone who says Lord, Lord has the Truth. What the quote says about 1 John 2:27 is: 'Both "you's" are plural and refer to the believing community as a whole...' They refer to the BELIEVING COMMUNITY as a whole. |
