ACC ~ 2 John 1 v9

HAVING THE FATHER AND THE SON. BEDE: Note how carefully John phrases this. He says that those who do not abide in Christ’s teaching do not have God, whereas those who do have both the Father and the Son. By this he demonstrates that the Father and the Son are One and refutes the lie of those who assert either that the Son is not God or that he is inferior to the Father. ON 2 JOHN.

THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST. OECUMENIUS: How can a person who rejects the divine self-revelation be regarded as a worshiper of God? He is not a worshiper at all but an atheist. However it is important to note that this is his own fault. It is because he has withdrawn himself from the knowledge of God which is common to all creatures that he has fallen into this state. The apostles on the other hand had the right teaching and preached it, so that anyone who accepts them receives it as well and thus possesses both the Father and the Son. COMMENTARY ON 2 JOHN.
