A live show hosted by #GregStafford weekdays and Saturdays starting between 5:30 and 6:30 AM PST. We meet for about 20-45 minutes to discuss biblical and other ancient texts which are grouped together for the discussion, as we progressively work out way through these ancient texts.
This show will be about #1John 3:9-12 according to #TheGreatMessage translation:
3:9 Each person who has been born from God does not continue doing what is wrong, because God’s seed [or, “generative power”] remains in that person. He is not able to keep doing what is wrong because he has been born from God.
3:10 By this it is obvious who are the children of God and who are the children of the Devil: Everyone who does not help bring about what is right is not from God, nor is the one who does not show affection for his own brother.
3:11 Because this is the message which we understood from the Beginning [Greek: ap’ arches], that we should show love to each other,
[Note on 3:11, "Beginning": Compare the reference to the “Beginning” in Genesis 1:1 and in John 1:1. Compare also the use of "Beginning" in 1 John 2:7, 13-14; 3:8. In 1 John 3:11 “Beginning” refers to the time when physical creation began, and it continues through to the point where Adam and Eve had children, starting with Cain and Abel, which is the very example John here uses from this “Beginning” period. See also the use of arche for this same “Beginning” period in Matthew 19:4, Mark 10:6, and 2 Peter 3:4.]
3:12 not like Cain who was from the Wicked One and who murdered his brother. And for what reason? Because Cain's works were wicked but his brother's works were righteous.
