Antichrists Were Insiders: The Docetism Crisis in 1 John

In its original context, "antichrist" doesn't refer to a single apocalyptic villain — it refers to former community members who got the nature of Jesus wrong. This video explores the Johannine community's internal fracture over Christology: one faction denied Jesus's divinity, another denied his humanity through Docetism (the belief that Jesus only appeared to have a physical body). The author of 1 John fought back with a radical insistence on both — a paradoxical position that would become orthodox Christian doctrine at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 CE. Key concepts covered: • The Johannine community — the early Christian group behind the Gospel of John and its internal schism • "Antichrists" in 1 John 2:18-22 — not demonic outsiders but former insiders who departed • Too-low Christology — denying Jesus's divinity (1 John 2:22) • Docetism — from the Greek "dokeo" (to seem), the belief that Jesus only appeared to have a body • The anti-Docetic litmus test of 1 John 4:2-3: "Jesus Christ has come in the flesh" • The sensory language of 1 John 1:1 as anti-Docetic polemic (heard, seen, touched) • The connection to Doubting Thomas in John 20:27 • How 1 John's "both fully divine and fully human" position prefigured Chalcedonian orthodoxy (451 CE) • Retrospective judgment — rewriting community history to delegitimize those who left ORIGINAL SOURCE This video distills content from a longer lecture/presentation.
