1 John / Question
Question source
1 John
1 John says every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God. It contrasts this with not confessing Jesus, which it associates with error and antichrist. See 1 John 4:2–3.
2By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
3and every spirit who doesn`t confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God, and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.
