NASB | 2 John 1:7 ¶ For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 John 1:7 ¶ For many deceivers [heretics, posing as Christians] have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge and confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh (bodily form). This [person, the kind who does this] is the deceiver and the antichrist [that is, the antagonist of Christ]. |
Subject: Does Islam fit here? |
Bible Note: It would appear that using this method puts us in good company around here. :-) I had read about the apology to the Jews. I had also read about a similar apology to all of Islam that came out a few months later. Since then I've been waiting in vain for more. Since I had offered some documents from the same source for your perusal, it would only be fair for me to look at these other documents that contain the improved figures. I'll even take your word on their impartial researcher seal of approval. Brother Ed, as far as the world is concerned, there is no difference in the colors we paint ourselves. Things done in the name of Christianity -- for good or ill -- are stigmas that we all carry as believers. Unfortunately, the face-lifts, adjustments, and euphemisms do not mitigate the distinctives which are based on things that make a world of difference for a man's eternal destiny. |
