Greetings,
I would like to open up with a few things, you might say,. with a bit of the Me here, which I generally like to keep under wraps, yes one of the least.
Stone throwing -> we both want and hope for the same thing and Naturally my hopes are for You TOOO, so stone throwing contributes Nothing towards that, which I would like to think, you would agree.
I've been at this for around 8 yrs and taken all sorts thrown, at me in a very personal way and I come back for more.
It probably took me around 2 yrs to get the basic truths and realized that something was seriously Wrong.
But I could have thought, I'm right Jack, I'm outta here.
With that in mind, being Very confident with the truth I found, and considering what's been coming at me in that time, I could've just dusted off my feet and walked away.
Has the thought ever come to mind, WHY I didn't?
I would like to think that you know the obvious answer there -> Is that wrong and nasty of me?

Some thoughts, questions, re your post;
Are you trying to tell us John is a liar?
Are you telling us that John didn't know what he was doing when using the words "pros & meta" in John and 1 John?
Are you saying that the Inters are false and not to be used?
Are you saying that it is wrong to define the Greek words in the Scriptures?
Are you saying that it's wrong to be diligent in rightfully dividing the word of truth etc with passion?
The Interpretations that you put forward, which also have the wrong word order in John 1:1c not to mention the addition of "the" as in in "the beginning" = Do you think that the angel of light, would have the power or ability to influence this and a desire to do so?
Is not this prologue of John's, a KEY and big one in knowing whose is who, re Father and Son?
If you happen to agree, would it not be a very good place for the opposition to set his trap? -> Like Gottcha, next one.
Ex - God is Light and there is an angel of light -> coming down the road one night, you see two lights coming toward you -> HOW are you going to know which is which?
The point I'm trying to make there is -> you wont see it coming, or expecting it, pretty much like how Eve was caught out, which Paul warns us about.
What was will be.

I would like your thoughts, no stone throwing etc, just your thoughts.
I assume that you know that God after Jesus should be our teacher and you should know this with certainty, no if buts.
With that in mind, they say there is 20 - 30,000 differing Christian faiths -> Does the thought ever come to your mind as in What The,
considering God is our teacher???
Would it not seem logic and common sense to think -> that there must be a common denominator in there?
If so, would that not make you curious as to what that is and try and find it? -> in other words, it can't be of God, so it must be the enemies battle plan that we're to try and find.
That has been one of my passionate missions -> not so I can say I'm right and Jack is wrong, but to make sure many get home to Glory, as I atm don't know where most stand???
OR what it might take for others to get home, as in,... at what cost?
