In this episode Nick Frederick and Kerry discuss the disputes about Christ’s nature that likely were behind some of John’s teachings in his letters. They talk about the importance of Christ being both divine and mortal, and the blessings that come to us from Christ’s mortality. They also talk about the timing of John’s letters. They draw in Book of Mormon teachings as well. They explore the importance of having a testimony of and a correct understanding of Christ and the dangers that come from misunderstanding it. They delve into John’s many teachings about love and how that interacts with his clear teachings and corrections. They also see covenant teachings in the epistles. They discuss the teachings of Jude as well, especially looking for the mercy of Christ and loving and knowing our neighbors and loving and searching for truth.

0:44.6	especially in teaching at least, doing second half the New Testament and a book of revelation,
0:49.5	all sorts of great stuff, and also the use of the Bible in the Book of Mormon and other
0:57.0	restoration scripture and has probably done more work on that than anyone I can think of.
1:02.0	And it's wonderful that we have someone who's working on that. And I think it's great because

1:21.9	Oh, my story is probably like a lot of your other guests.
1:26.1	I grew up small town, Utah. I wanted to learn more
