That is the discussion here.
Now, why are you including yourself in Theophilus'/all epistles' mail as applicable to your life?
Right, because your ancient brethren in the faith consider their mail, your mail. 
The N.T. was never intended,( as preterists have segregated it), to be a commentary of the "former church's" documentary of events, but a continuation of experience, doctrinal and prophetical events. |
Sean, maybe your disagreement with what is being said about John is due to a comprehension problem on your part?
To test this, please answer the following in your own words:
What is meant by "the Bible is not written TO us"?
What is meant by "the Bible is written FOR us"?
