That is not true. When will you learn your lesson and stop pretending to know
Greek?

Here the pretence looks particularly ridiculous. Even the Greeks themselves do
not support your interpretation of this.

Ah, but now you are pulling a "bait-and-switch" on us. You boldly
claimed that
all who oppose your false dogma don't understand the Greek, and now you are able
to criticize only one small subset of these people.

I understand the implication of the tenses fully. But I do NOT find any support
for your disastrous bad dogma in any of John's epistles.
