Yes. I believe that. I also believe that 1 John is John’s commentary of his Gospel. I’m a Jewish monotheist and I’ve commented that Christianity is Jewish. My perspective on scripture - OT and NT - is Jewish. I’m a Jewish Christian. Yes. You will reply that they are heretics. What is...

Your post is too long for me to respond to without an even larger post.
