1jo 2:3

This is another verse that we misconstrue. Does it mean that unless I am perfectly doing the ten commandments that I do not know God? Why do we restrict it to the ten commandments? He just got through telling us not to say that we don't have sin. Does that mean that no one knows Him, since we all have sin? What does it mean to 'come to know Him?' Is this something just for the future, or is it something we can have now?

Is this about performance or direction? Lists or relationships? How does this relate to the incarnation issue that is the theme of this whole thing?

Why does he use the phrase we 'have come to know Him?' Is that the same as we ' are coming to know Him?'

How is coming to know Him different from being 'in Him?'

How does this statement compare with the 'If we say we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth?' Is having the truth in me, the same as abiding 'in Him?'
