Distinguishing teachers of truth from teachers of falseness based on teaching in the letters of St. John the Apostle

Kamil Gradowski

Abstract

Saint John the Apostle, struggling with the reality of the appearance of deceitful teachers of falsehood and taking care of the communities he founded, gives in his letters clear and effective ways to recognize whether a given person acts and speaks out by inspiring the Spirit of God, or maybe antichrist. Its christological and ecclesiological criteria make it possible to protect the community against deceivers. They also point out that fraternal love in community is the result of union with Jesus Christ and the adherence to the teaching of the Apostles.
