Antichrist

I. Intro.-

A. Best way to spot a fake

B. Read 1 John 2:18-29, Pray

C. Intro Statement

I read the whole passage but we will be focusing on verses 18-23 today and we will again read the whole passage next week and look at verses 24-29 then. Here is why, remember John writes very circular so it get really hard to break passages to fit our verse by verse context mold, but there is so much mining to be done in these verses that we cant just flyover them as well. This week it is hinted that the truth is how to spot a fake and next week will make that very clear.
