GNOSTIC BELIEFS

There is no sin nature

The true humanity of Christ did not exist

 

1JO 1:1

What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life —

1JO 1:1

(The NET Bible Translation)

(This is what we proclaim to you…we proclaim to you) What was from the beginning (at the first advent of the Lord Jesus Christ…Jesus Christ…true humanity)…(we proclaim to you) what we have heard…(we proclaim to you) what we have seen with our eyes…(we proclaim to you) what we have looked at (a reference to perceiving something after observation…a reference to thinking)…and (we proclaim to you what we have) touched with our hands… (concerning the subject matter)…the Word (logos) of (the Zoe) Life (of the Resurrected Christ).

 

LUK 24:39

“See My hands and My feet,that it is I Myself (the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ); touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”

 

JOH 20:27

Then He (the Lord Jesus Christ) said to (doubting) Thomas, “Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing.”

 

1JO 1:2

…and the (Zoe) life was manifested(we beheld His glory), and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life (of Him with no beginning and no ending), which was with (God) the Father (in the beginning not a beginning) and was manifested to us (John and the other apostles) —

 

JOH 1:1

In the beginning was the Word (ho logos…the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ…the Son of God), and the Word (ho logos…the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ…the Son of God) was with God (the Father), and the Word (ho logos…the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ…the Son) was God.

 

JOH 1:14

“And the Word (the Deity of Christ) became flesh (true humanity) and tabernacled among us (during the first incarnation), and we saw (beheld) His glory, glory as of the unique one from (God) the Father, full of grace and (and full of) truth (the Word of God).”

 

1JO 1:3

…what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also (Gnostics), so that you too may have fellowship with us (believers in Christ); and indeed our fellowship is with (God) the Father, and with His Son (the Lord) Jesus Christ.

 

1JO 1:4

(alternative translation)

These things we write, so that our joy may continue to be fully supplied by God.

 

1JO 1:4

(Wuest)

And these things, as for us, we are writing in order that our joy, having been filled completely full in times past may persist in that state of fullness through present time.

QUESTIONS TO ILLUMINATE A BIBLICAL PASSAGE 

What does the passage say in the original languages of the bible?

 

1JO 1:5

This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

       

God = Light

Everything Else = Darkness

 

JOH 1:5

The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not (never…ouk) comprehend it (the Light).

 

GNOSTIC BELIEFS

There is no sin nature

There is no personal sinning

The true humanity of Christ did not exist

 

1JO 1:6

If (3) we say (assert) that we have fellowship with Him (that we are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ) and yet walk in the darkness (of unbelief… living the Gnostic lies…rejecting His true humanity, rejecting the Word of God concerning the sin nature and personal sinning…you have a choice), we lie and do not practice the truth…

 

1JO 1:7

…but if (3) we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light (maybe you will and maybe you won’t…you have a choice), (but if we do) we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son (through His substitutionary spiritual death at the Cross) cleanses us from all sin.

 

ACT 16:31

“Believe in the Lord Jesus,and you will be saved, you and (everyone in) your household (who also believes).”

 

1JO 1:8

If (1) we say that we have no sin (nature and Gnostics do), we are deceiving ourselves and the truth (of God’s Word) is not in us.

 

1JO 1:9

If (3) we confess our sins(maybe you will and maybe you won’t you have a choice), He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

 

1JO 1:9

If (3) we homologeo…completely agree with God in the mater of our sins… maybe you will and maybe you won’t you have a choice, He (God the Father) is faithful (he always does the same thing) and righteous (free from sin Himself and thus completely qualified) to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (relative righteousness…missing absolute righteousness).

 

1CO 11:31

But if (2) we judged (evaluated) ourselves rightly (and we don’t), we would not be judged (disciplined).

 

2CO 13:5

(Make it a habit to) Test yourselves to see if you are (living) in the (sphere) faith (the Word of God); examine (prove it to) yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves (in self-examination), that (the Lord) Jesus Christ is in(dwelling) you — unless indeed you fail the test (by proving that you are not in the sphere of the Word of God)?

 

MAT 3:6

…and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed (exomologeo) their sins.

 

ROM 10:9

…that if (3) you confess (homologeo) with your mouth Jesus as Lord (maybe you will and maybe you won’t…you have a choice), and (if you) believe in your heart that God (the Father) raised Him from the dead (maybe you will and maybe you won’t…you have a choice), you will be saved…

 

1JO 1:10

If (3) we say that we have not sinned (maybe you do and maybe you don’t), (if you do) we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.
