Denying Who Jesus Christ is Does Not Show True Love for Him

If one says that they love Jesus Christ, then deny who He is; is there not punishment for that denial.

We are told in true Scripture that if we deny Jesus Christ having appeared in the flesh and dying on the cross for our sins, it is then that Jesus Christ will deny that He knew those that deny Him.

It is a grave mistake to think that Jesus Christ is still a mortal human, for if one thinks that He is to return, how is that possible except He returns in the power of His being part of the Godhead. Seriously, no one has ever been able to return to this earth after the death of the body, yet, except by the power and authority given to Jesus Christ.

Read the letters of John, especially the first one, a disciple who lived with and was loved by Jesus Christ on a personal and first name basis, and then try again to deny His Deity without lying about it.
