Against the gnostics

As we make our way through Job, I thought it would be interesting to insert a map of the land of Uz, which is where Job lived.

This map is from bible.cc

1 John
Some brief comments on 1 John - it was written partially to combat against early gnostic teachings, such as that Jesus didn't have a mortal, fleshly body, which meant that anything his followers did in the flesh didn't really matter.  As we will see in 4:2, John doesn't agree with these ideas (This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God...)
