This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 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. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 12 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. 13 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen. *** Who is the "Elect" Lady being addressed here ??? X <>< O Post Reply
View Profile History	2 John 1 Posted : 18 Oct, 2013 06:09 AM Her name is a mystery but....... her identity is all that matters in this case because she is --------> the "ELECT" lady! ; one who was CHOSEN by God in Christ before the foundations of the earth. A lady whose name was written in the Lamb's Book of Life from before time. A lady who was known by Christ even in her mother's womb. A lady who who he did foreknow, who he did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son. A lady who he also called, who he also justified, and who he also glorified. Who shall separate this ELECT LADY from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate this ELECT lady from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Btw... evidently John KNEW that she was ELECT. Quite interesting, isn't it? Post Reply

Amen. *** So the children of the "Elect" sister greet her through Johns letter...which means...her children were with or traveling with this John...that could be James and Jude the 1/2 brothers of Jesus...It has been discussed by scholars and speculated that this John is John Mark...the disciple that Christ loved...XO Post Reply
