From the Second Epistle of John,
in the New Testament of the Holy Bible:
in the New Testament of the Holy Bible:
I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.-2 John 1:4-11***According to the commands that the Lord God spoke to Moses, Moses proclaimed to his fellow Israelites that they must love the Lord God with all their heart, soul and might, and they must love their neighbor as themselves. Moses and his brother Aaron were Israelites from the tribe of Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, they led the Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, and across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness until they were at the area across from the Promised Land, according to the will of the Lord God. In the 40th year of their journey, Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor, and Moses went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, was from the tribe of Ephraim. Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Over 1,300 years after Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist. The Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus, and the Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. For 40 days Jesus fasted and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and Jesus went to Galilee. Jesus told John, the son of Zebedee, and other Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. The commandment to love the Lord God with all one's heart, soul, mind, and strength, and the commandment to love one's neighbor as one's self, and the command to love one's enemies were spoken by Jesus before Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, and returned to heaven less than 3 1/2 years after he was baptized. Jesus revealed that he taught and spoke as he was commanded by his Father, the Lord God in heaven. John, the son of Zebedee, is widely regarded to be the divinely inspired writer of the Gospel Book of John and the Epistles of John and the Book of Revelation in the Holy Bible.-Genesis 1:1-3:24, 11:27-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:1-12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-13:52, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, Revelation
