  NKJV | 2 John 1:1 - 1:13
John wrote this letter "to the elect lady and her children." This is either a figurative reference to a church community or a literal reference to a specific person.
John may have used the title Elder as an affectionate description of himself, since his authority as an apostle would not be in question at this late date.
John affirms the deity of Jesus by affirming the Son's equality with the Father.

 Does 2 John 10 mean we shouldn't allow cultists into our homes?
According to 2 John 10, we are not to receive into our homes or even greet anyone who comes to us and does not believe that Christ is come in the flesh.
So, apparently, John is here warning against (1) allowing a false teacher into the church, and (2) giving this false teacher a platform from which to teach.
John is directing the church not to extend this kind of hospitality to teachers of false doctrine.

 Gospel of John - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gospel of John is the fourth gospel in the canon of the New Testament, traditionally ascribed to John the Evangelist.
This date is assumed in large part because John 21, the so-called "appendix" to John, is largely concerned with explaining the death of the "beloved disciple," supposedly the leader of the Johannine community that would have produced the text.
John 10:1-5 is potentially a stand-alone parable of Jesus, which UBS calls "Parable of the Sheepfold", John 10:6 calls it a "figure of speech", Strong's G3942, however, John 10:7 states I am the gate, which makes it a metaphor.

 Second Epistle of John - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Second Epistle of John (normally just called 2nd John or 2 John) is a book of the Bible New Testament.
Verse four of 2nd John reads, "I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth." It may be the woman of portent from Revelation to which this epistle is addressed.
The language of this epistle is remarkably similar to 3 John.

 Theology WebSite: New Testament Study Helps: John's Letters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Irenaeus cited the epistle as by the Lord's disciple John, the writer of the fourth Gospel (De Haer 3.16, 5, 8).
It would seem that John is desiring to forewarn his readers against the infiltration of the same error he mentions in 1 John (ie: Docetic Gnosticism) and his primary purpose in writing is to put them on their guard and to stress in no uncertain way the serious character of the false teaching.
John thus seems to be commending Gaius for his stand against Diotrephes and assures him that he will deal with Diotrephes as soon as he visits the church.

John was persecuted for his faith and imprisoned on Patmos for preaching the Gospel.
2 John 1:9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.
John makes two points: (1) People who "run ahead" or go beyond the teaching of the Apostles and (2) those who do not continue in the teachings of Christ.

 1way2God.net - 2 John
Irenaeus of Lyons in the early 2nd Century links 2 John with 1 John, and ascribes them both to John the Apostle and author of the fourth gospel.
Arguments that 2 and 3 John came from a different author than that of 1 John become evidently problematic when considering content and vocabulary, as several distinct thematic links exist between the first epistle and the last two.
1 John is unanimously agreed by the early Church to have been written by John son of Zebedee (the Apostle), and it seems that the obvious similarities in content of 2 & 3 John with 1 John point towards his authorship of these as well.

The Father's Son: the title that affirms the close relationship of Christ to God; similar variations of this title occur elsewhere (John 1:14; 3:35), but the precise wording is not found elsewhere in the New Testament.

 This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. 2 John 1:6
He wrote this letter in Ephesus in approximately 90 A.D. As in the First Epistle, John preaches against the heresy of Docetism which taught that Christ did not come in the flesh, but only seemed to have a body and to suffer and die on the cross.
The people that taught this heresy were men that claimed to be Christians, but John in this letter clearly refuted their lies and preached to the believers to cling to the truth of who Jesus Christ was and what He did for them.
The recipients of this letter are the elect lady and her children.

In his heyday no one was outselling his albums or out-booking John for concert appearances, and considering the incredible talents on the scene at the time, that is a pretty good indication of just how popular he was, and just how universal John Denver's appeal was.
This album represents a wonderful overview of the early work of John as he thrilled a whole generation with his own perspective of a meaningful life lived in the natural splendor of nature.
I am a John Denver fan, and this album is indeed a good collection of his songs, with an interesting mix of well-known and lesser-known Denver songs.

Like 1 John, 2 John was written by the apostle John between A.D. It was written to provide guidance about hospitality.
Because inns were few and unsafe, believers would take such people into their homes and then give them provisions for their journey.
Since Gnostic teachers also relied on hospitality, John warned his readers against taking such people into their homes lest they participate in spreading heresy.

 Filmtracks: Basic Instinct 2 (John Murphy)
Basic Instinct 2: (John Murphy) Only two things exist in common between Paul Verhoeven's entertainingly vulgar 1992 hit film and this lifeless 2006 sequel: Sharon Stone's remarkably youthful physique and Jerry Goldsmith's remarkably seductive themes.
The process of bringing Basic Instinct 2 into production saw endless delays and cast changes, and the result is a script that has none of the juicy interest of the original and a lead male star that maintains the same mundane facial expression from start to finish.
It could be argued that his task was a largely impossible one for this film, for Jerry Goldsmith's score for the original remains a triumph in the definition of "orchestral orgasms," for which he was nominated for an Academy Award.

Nevertheless, Force attributes all his success, which includes 113 victories as car owner, to his late uncle, Gene Beaver, who encouraged him to hire Coil, a decision that Force briefly questioned when Coil initially failed to end a series of final-round frustrations that extended to nine events.
