What does it mean to walk in the light? Loving God means keeping commandments. When you love God, you inevitably love your neighbor. Johannine Comma. Re-birth.
[00:00:15] Jason: Welcome back to the weekly deep dive podcast on the add add on education network podcast where we take a look at the weekly come follow me discussion, try to add a little insight and unique perspective. I am your host Jason Lloyd, here in the studio with our friend and this show’s producer, Nate Pyfer.
[00:00:32] Nate: Yes, baby. We’re back. We’re back.
[00:00:35] Jason: We needed mean we’ve done really well being consistent. These last little two weeks have been bumpy, but we are in the driver’s seat. We’re in control. We’re back on schedule. We’re delivering. We’re firing on all cylinders.
[00:00:51] Nate: We’re back on the horse.
[00:00:52] Jason: We’re back on the horse. Back on the wagon.
[00:00:55] Nate: Back on the wagon. All right, let’s do this.
[00:01:00] Jason: I felt bad I wasn’t able to include you on Peter last week. Peter’s your man.
[00:01:05] Nate: He really is.
Peter’s my man.
I love him.
[00:01:13] Jason: I think you would have really enjoyed jumping in on that. Sorry. Sorry you guys at home that didn’t have Nate on there. Sorry, Nate, that I wasn’t able to pull you in on that. But we get John and John’s a little bit. It’s interesting.
They complement each other in different ways. Peter, as we talked last week, he’s coming at this as love God before you love your brethren and you have to love God in order to be able to love your brethren.
And John’s take is almost taking it complimentary to say, well, if you love God first, then inevitably you will love your brethren and how important it is that it follows that you love your brethren. So it’s a good compliment to Peter. It’s a different emphasis. It’s a different push.
But I don’t know. We’ll get there. We’ll see how it is. I’m looking forward to talking through this with you tonight on John. Yeah, let’s do it.
John is responsible for the gospel of John. And then we have these three letters and then we get into the book of revelation. It’s interesting, the authorship of these letters.
Originally, there was not a lot of dispute. I think everybody just kind of accepted that it was John. The content from the internal evidence seemed to be consistent with the gospel of John. The external evidence pointed towards this all coming from John. It’s not till later in the 20th century that some scholars start pointing out a few things to where now I think there’s room for debate. There’s a little bit of lack of clarity there and it’s anyone’s guess. I’m not going to go into whether or not he wrote it. I’m just going to take it for what it is and see what we can glean from it and let you kind of reach your own conclusion.
[00:03:00] Nate: But you were saying there are a few things in here we can pretty definitively say we’re not John.
[00:03:05] Jason: Yes.
We’re going to get to that with the Johanneen comma.
[00:03:10] Nate: Okay.
[00:03:10] Jason: In John chapter five, it’s kind of interesting. We’ll get there.
[00:03:14] Nate: But other than that, we’re going to take it for what it yep.
[00:03:19] Jason: So starting us off to begin with, John, he’s going to talk about walking in the light, and to preface this discussion and maybe add a little bit of fodder to where we’re headed with this. I know, Nate, that you are a big fan of Talmage and Talmudge’s parables. Yeah.
[00:03:43] Nate: His three parables, I think is what he calls it.
[00:03:46] Jason: Yeah.
[00:03:47] Nate: The bee.
[00:03:48] Jason: The lamp.
[00:03:49] Nate: The lamp. And the train.
[00:03:50] Jason: And the train. And the train was kind of the one I was thinking about on this one, because correct me i...
