El reto del subjetivismo y la meritocracia
Given the fact that the Johannine church was a community struggling for its existence in the midst of powerful pressures from both its Jewish birthing setting and its Hellenistic syncretistic context, the language and antisociety stance may seem to be completely out of touch with today’s adoption of pluralism.
Dos errores asesinos para el creyente
The atoning sacrifice of Christ is the only path to God that could in any way suffice to atone for sin. Therefore, he is indeed the only way to God and to eternal life.

He is himself the Saviour (4:42), the Lamb of God (1:29, 34), the one who so speaks that those who are in the graves hear his voice and come forth (5:28–29).

no-one can claim to know God while rejecting Jesus his Son
