love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings
of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and
does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its
desires pass away, but the

“Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the
antichrist is coming, even
now many an t i chr i s t s hav e c ome
. This is how we
know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not really
belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained
with us but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.”
“But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the
truth. I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because
you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.

?
It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ.
Such a man i s t he

To dispel all concern, so that you may not misunderstand, I acknowledge
clearly that Jesus was the Christ according to the original intent or essence
of the word “Christ”[one anointed by His Father], but not as translations
determined over time. The name Christ or essence of the name is taken for
granted today. Over time language translations have used different words to
convey the original meaning. In the earliest of times the intent of that name
meant to be anointed with oil for a Divine purpose. The concept of
deliverer and/or messiah in the Hebrew traditions evolved from the original
intent, and it must be understood correctly to explain the purpose of the
name and application of the mission assigned thereto. Much study has been
done, and information may be obtained according to the etymology of the
word—search deeper and you’ll find authentication of what is offered
herein. Christianity [messianic mission] has evolved under the guise that
Jesus’ followers used the premise or belief that Jesus was the Son of God
and the son of man—is that assumption correct today?
Without Jesus there is no salvation! Jesus fulfilled His part of the messianic
mission; but He was not the man expected because He was not a mere
man—His essence was Divine. He walked among the people to complete
His part in the mission, which is what the Father desired. However, in a
today reality we must come to terms with a mature understanding about the
