Most interpreters of 1, 2, 3 John believe that the author's opponents advocated gnostic or progressive doctrines that denied the humanity of Jesus Christ. The author argues that the opponents are former Jewish-Christians who have left the community to return to the synagogue after renouncing their belief that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah.
