[Luke]

Reading Daniel tonight, doing a character study of Daniel, and I came across this interesting tidbit.

Dan 2:11 And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

Comparing with

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Anyone that denies that God has come in the flesh and dwelt amongst men is worshiping a false god.

This would include Mormons, JW's, Christadelphians, some SDA sects, modern Jews, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and every other major world religion.

That's right. The Gospel of Jesus Christ really does separate the sheep from the goats. The way is indeed narrow and few there be that find it.

"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

Add to that the false perversions they use too! This is a self condemning text of the corrupted versions. 1 John 4:3


KJB
1 John 4:2-3 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

(------), omits "is come in the flesh"

NWT-JW's
3 but every inspired expression that does not confess Jesus(------) does not originate with God. Furthermore, this is the antichrist’s [inspired expression] which YOU have heard was coming, and now it is already in the world.

NLT - 1Jo 4:3 - If a prophet does not acknowledge Jesus(-------), that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist. You have heard that he is going to come into the world, and he is already here.

NIV - 1Jo 4:3 - but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus(------) is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.


ESV - 1Jo 4:3 - and every spirit that does not confess Jesus(------)is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.



NASB - 1Jo 4:3 - and every spirit that does not confess Jesus(-------) is not from God; this is the {spirit} of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
