Dear friends, don’t believe every spirit. Test the spirits to see if they are from God because many false prophets have gone into the world. This is how you know if a spirit comes from God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come as a human is from God, and every spirit that doesn’t confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and is now already in the world. You are from God, little children, and you have defeated these people because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world. So they speak from the world’s point of view and the world listens to them. We are from God. The person who knows God listens to us. Whoever is not from God doesn’t listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error. (1 John 4:1-6, CEB)
If a person confesses Jesus has come, they are from God. If a person denies Jesus has come, they are not of God.
So if I say Jesus has come, and someone with a theology I do not get says Jesus has come, we are both from God, and we both have a valid understanding of God? So who determines whose theology is correct?
Well, maybe both of them are in one way or another. Remember that truth is true from your point of view, as Ob1 said. We need to focus on God and our growth and helping everyone see and understand they are loved as they are. This is our calling.
To deepen our faith and understanding and love others so that they might know they are loved by God.
Confess Jesus. Deepen your faith. Love all.
