THE SECOND LETTER OF JOHN.
(An exegesis with examples of the main points).

Consider the scripture: "Anyone who runs ahead too far, and does not stand by the doctrine of The Christ, is without God; he who stands by that doctrine possesses both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you who does not bring this doctrine, do not welcome him into your house or give him a greeting; for anyone who gives him a greeting is an accomplice in his wicked deeds."  (2 John V.9-11 NEB).

CONCERNING DISOBEDIENT ONES.
Example:
The Lord God commanded, "Honour your father and your mother, that you may live long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you." (Exodus 20:12 NEB). But what if parents of Christian sons or daughters do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as having come in the flesh to provide the Way of salvation for one to gain everlasting life? (V.7 NEB). Conversely, what if they are running ahead of the "doctrine of The  Christ"?  Should we welcome them into our homes or say a greeting to them?  In both cases we should not.  We do not wish to lose our hope of incorruptible heavenly life for having been accomplices in the wicked behaviour of anyone who is sinning against the righteous principles of Christ.


FURTHER EXAMPLES OF THOSE WHO HAVE "RUN AHEAD":
(1)

A prominent member of the sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses publicly proclaimed to all those in attendance at a JW convention that they were all anointed ones!  This declaration was thereafter published worldwide.  He acted as their god.  (2 Thess 2:4).

(2)

Another prominent member of this sect falsely proclaimed: 'The Princes Are Here!' and declared that future "princes" of the "new earth" described in Scripture were all present at that convention!  (See Page 829A).

(3)

This sect removed the "constant feature" Holy Spirit by 'shifting' congregational responsibilities of anointed  men from them, excommunicating them, and issuing these responsibilities to unsealed men of the "disgusting thing".  (Dan 11:30,31).

(4)

Many times over this sect has falsely proclaimed the year when the present system of things would end and the "new heavens" and "new earth" would begin.  (Matt 25:13).

(5)

This sect allows women to teach and exercise authority over men.  (1 Tim 2:11-14).

A period of "two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings" was appointed by our Lord Jehovah to reveal the wicked men of this sect before the Second Coming of His Son when "by the Spirit of his mouth" he will do away with all those that have not been standing by the doctrine of The Christ. (Dan 8:13,14)  (2 Thess 2:8).  It  is  important to note that members of this sect could not run ahead of the doctrines of The Christ unless first they had come to know them.  Those who "run ahead" are not motivated by Christian love, but seek to create "lovers" to glorify them.   Do you still associate with them?  (Zech 13:2 4  6).

There are many more recorded examples of this sect making erroneous public statements concerning future fulfilments of the Scriptures     more so than any other sectarian religion. It is proof that this sect is without God. (V.9 NEB).  As for its members who continue to listen to the "utterances" of their false prophets inspired by demons, and who continue to serve them, they are no less guilty than the apostate who first acted as a god by falsely prophesying that those in attendance were all anointed by him     their false god!
