We set straight in the last episode that the evil done to the church is greater from within than from without. We need to support this claim.  Hymenaeus and Philetus failed to convey God's thoughts when they asserted that the resurrection had already taken place (2 Tim. 2:18). They did not outrightly deny the truth of the resurrection, but they perverted it by injecting their own flawed...

In writing to his “dear children” in the Lord, the apostle John tells them that “the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). The contrast here is between the Spirit of Christ and the spirit of antichrist; in short, God is greater than Satan.
