Question

The key verse in 2 john states: "anyone who does not remain in christ's teaching but goes beyond it, does not have god. the one who remains in that teaching, this one has both the father and the spirit" (vv. 9â10).

Answer 1

If one goes beyond Christs teachings, then one is not in tune with the Father or the Holy Spirit, as Christ, God and the Holy Spirit are the Holy Trinity. If one goes beyond the teachings or principles of one, then one has gone beyond the teachings of all three.
