He starts out by swearing that everything he says is true and that he’s totally seen the this whole eternal life thing with his own eyes! He says that god is light and things that piss god off are darkness, since we always fuck around and do shit that pisses god off, we shouldn’t be able to be with god. But since Jesus killed himself, via the classic suicide by cop method, now we can totally hang out with god even though we do shit that pisses him off. But we still shouldn’t.
He also says not to be a dick. If you claim to be a cool godly person but you’re full of hate, you’re a dick and god doesn’t want anything to do with you. Also, you’ll be consumed by your own stupid shit, and that’s no way to go about living your life.
He encourages all men. Only men, because John’s an asshole just like Paul, to try to live their lives in a way that won’t piss god off and not to focus too much on all the cool shit that the world has to offer, like silk, and gladiators, and boat races and whatever the fuck people did for fun back then.
He keeps talking about how everything around us will burn, and he makes it sound like it’s going to happen soon. So far it has not. Even the Roman Empire lasted quite some time after this was written, so it’s safe to say that John was a crazy person.
He warns everyone about anti-christs, which are apparently just people who don’t think that Jesus was god’s kid, and that would mean that about 3/4 of the world are antichrists.
He tells people to love each other and not be like Cain and murder people for pissing us off. He says if a spirit comes to you, test it to make sure that it’s from god and not just some rogue spirit trying to fuck with you. He closes by telling everyone to be cool and full of love, just like god. I don’t know what book he was reading, but I never really got the idea that god was anything like that.
