John, when writing his 1st Epistle says this about some of;
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh “
Their Students”
~{1John 2:18}~
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come,
even now are there many antichrists;
……. They {anti-christ} went out from us, but they were not of us;
for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us:
but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
………….
26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
~{Act 15:1}~
*And certain men
which came down from Judaea
—
Dem Dar Oral Teachings—
taught the brethren, and said,
Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
…….
Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain
which went out from us
have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying,
Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: *
John also writes of some other men;
“Claiming Apostolic Authority”
~{Rev.2:2}~
*
and how thou canst not bear them which are evil:
and thou hast tried them
which say they are apostles, and are not,
and hast found them
liars:*
Even Paul has a few things to say of those
“
Claim to be -{Anti-Christ}- Apostles”
~{2Cor.11:13}~
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if* his ministers** also be
transformed as
the ministers of righteousness;
whose end shall be according to their works.*
John has a few more choice words for these
“
Ministers of Satan”; “
deceitful workers”
that somehow “
seduced the church” into believing they were
the ministers of righteousness;
~{John 2:9}~
- and I know** the blasphemy** of them which say they are Jews,
and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
*** the blasphemy** of them which say they are Jews,*
we will have to take that up in another thread
So here we have a group of men in the 1st Day Church;
Claiming Apostolic Authority / Succession,
As if they were the Ministers of Righteousness
that went forth deceiving and seducing the church
Many trained by the Apostles themselves,
as in “Students of the Apostles“
which in reality were the Ministers of Satan
and were “
the beginning of” the
coming of the Anti-Christ
so when they tell you “So and So” ECF
was a “Student of the Apostles”
that don’t prove anything
They {anti-christ}
went out from us, but they were not of us;
for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us:
but they went out, that
they might be made manifest that
they were not all of us.
