1. Read 2 John 1:7 and the institute student manual commentary for 2 John 7, “For Many Deceivers Are Entered into the World” (p. 437). Summarize in one or two paragraphs the false doctrine John warned against, where it came from, and what effect it would have if it were believed.
The false doctrine John warned against was that we should not invite people with doctrines contrary to ours into our home. People that believed that those who were against what they believed in were not a threat to their beliefs had struggles with their faith. Or they had struggle with the people they were once nice to.
2. Read 2 John 1:8–13. Write one or two sentences explaining what counsel John gave that could help avoid this and other false doctrines generally.
John explained to not wish well to those who disagree with you. He said that "For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds." I am not sure if I agree with this. I feel that we should be kind to all, even if we don't agree with them or they disagree with us.
