John repeatedly referred to himself by name in Revelation. But it would certainly be foolish to argue they were not acting "for the sake of Christ" just because they are identified by their own name in the text which they wrote. (And they were not struggling for elevation/competing for attention.)<br /><br />Scripture disproves your statements about John and other assertions you made. For example, a simple Bible check shows NONE of the writers of the first three gospels identified themselves by name, disproving your claim that they did. <br /><br />In fact, what makes the fourth gospel so different from the first three is the unnamed author of the fourth gospel on multiple occasions took the time to describe in detail his participation at key events in the ministry of Jesus, while the writers of the first three gospels never made those sort of self-references in their writings.TruthHunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02449127616034200177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951012.post-64935542817678379802012-01-31T18:47:15.041-05:002012-01-31T18:47:15.041-05:00David - thx for encouragement.

I was tied up - overwhelmed by my many commitments and perhaps lacking inspiration.<br /><br />I was wondering about John's mindset - he so delighted in Christ's love for him that it formed the basis of his identity and wanted it knownEvery Square Inchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636924397725214300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951012.post-79090877922329769092012-01-31T08:23:22.287-05:002012-01-31T08:23:22.287-05:00Glad to your writing again friend.

I do it in the most subtle ways, competing for attention or a look or a small word of praise. <br /><br />None of that stuff should matter.
