II John 1:1-13, Mark 15:22-25, 33-41
St. John the Theologian writing many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (II John 1:7). This was so in his time, but now come seducers in the world, who confess that Christ is come in the flesh, but they are nevertheless "seducers and antichrists " (cf. II John 1:7). It began
more openly at the time of Arias and that continues to this day. However, the former fell more seductive because of the dogma of the Person of Jesus Christ our Savior, while Luther's time, they began to fall because of the teaching about salvation in Him. How many of these "teachers " there were? These "Impostors and antichrists" have appeared among us who say "believe and that is enough," nothing more is required, neither the Church nor the sacraments or the priesthood.
They also introduce their disappointment, starting with the Lord Christ and salvation in Him. But as they don ' not interpret these things properly, they are antichrists, and subject to condemnation. Beware of them. Anyone who transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ has not God (II John 1:9). These people have not, because they have not the doctrine of Christ.
This doctrine is in the Church, and they are separated from the Church. Only those who follow the Church has the doctrine of Christ and remain in it. They therefore both Christ, the Son of God, and God the Father. But others have not, although they keep saying the opposite. Do the receive not, and do not bow (cf. II John 1:10).
