They say the overcomers are these ...
"Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?" (1 John 5:5)
But, they only overcome "the world" of nonbelievers!
Jesus defines who the real overcomers are ...
"To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." (Revelation 3:21)
Yeah, but they miss the part of the verse that talks about overcoming the world. 1 John 2:15-17 says if any man love the world or the things of this world, the love of the Father is not in them. They miss the part in James that to be a friend of the world is to be God’s enemy.
