Commentary on 1 John 4.1-3 [3 pages]
by John Schoenheit, Mark Graeser, and John Lynn rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)
Many Christians use the above verses in an attempt to prove that one must believe that Jesus is God in order to be saved. We assert that this is not at all what the verses are saying. To understand them, it is most important that we read what is written, and not add our interpolation to the text. Then, to really understand why they were written the way they are, we must understand the cultural context in which they were written, as well as the overall context of 1 John itself.

The Father is Greater than the Son

According to Jesus, the Father is greater than the Son. If this is true then they are not co-equal and the trinity is false! Listen to this if you are interested to understand one of the key unitarian verses in the NT, John 14:28.
