The Deceiver
2 John 1:7 "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."
The word we see as deceiver is the Greek word planos [πλάνος] Which appears as deceiver 4 times but also as seducing in 1 Timothy 4:1 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;".
Planos is defined as both wandering and also as misleading and leading into error.[1]
When you see the word confess in 2 John 1:7 the Greek word is homologeo [ὁμολογέω][2] which is from two words meaning together and to speak or account.
Whenever you see the words Jesus Christ the text is referring to Jesus the Messiah or the Anointed One which was the rightful king of Judea or Israel.
Contrary to what many Christians teach today the Jews at the time of Christ accepted Jesus as their King. Despite the fact that the Pharisees had ruled that anyone who got the Baptism of Christ would be cast out of the synagogue[3] which would include the government system of Corban run through the temple and the synagogues thousands were baptized and declared Christ and his appointed government as their government.
By Pentecost the apostles and 120 families had gathered and come into one accord[4] concerning the government appointed by Christ a little more than a month earlier. The activities and reports of Jesus had brought people to Jerusalem from all over the world[5]
Thousands were baptized professing Jesus as the Christ. [6] They would form their own government system which was supported by Freewill offerings according to the Perfect law of liberty. They would no longer live by the sword of the tax collectors of Judea but by the faith, hope and charity through ministers who did not exercise authority one over the other but who served the people in Pure Religion.
John goes on to say:
- "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." 2 John 1:8-12
liberty
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Acts 24:23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
Acts 26:32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
Acts 27:3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. Romans 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 1 Corinthians 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 8:9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 1 Corinthians 10:29 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s conscience? 2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Galatians 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. Hebrews 13:23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you. James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. James 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 1 Peter 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. 2 Peter 2:19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
These early Christians were not like the Pharisees who were making the word of God to none effect with their system of Corban. When they denied Christ they said they had no king but Caesar they abandoned the kingdom.[7] Christ took the kingdom from them[8] because they did not bear fruit and Jesus appointed it to His little flock.[9]
Many Churches preach a watered down gospel that instructs the people contrary to Christ. Modern Christians are not doers of the word nor do they keep the commandments. They are again entangled in the elements[10] of the world.
So the apostate Church are clearly part of the "many deceivers" of 2 John 1:7. They have entered into the world but "confess not that Jesus Christ"
Christ call us to seek the Kingdom of God and the righteousness of God. We are warned that we would be made merchandise but not because of Fraud or deception by rulers but because of our covetousness. And our Covetous Practices would curse our children, that what should have been for ourWelfare would be a Snare and a trap.
So who transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ?
What are those doctrines?
Many people attempt to explain the present apostasy and bondage but fail to teach the redemption of Christ.
They point to what they claim is the problem but fail to give the remedy of Christ.
