2 John 7-13 point out one of the simple, most basic, foundational truths of Christianity.
That truth is this - Jesus and God are inseparable. You can't have one without the other. Some religions teach that Jesus was a good man, a prophet of God, etc. But they stop short of recognizing him as not only the Son of God, but GOD himself - one part of a triune God that is completely and utterly inseparable.
Another concept presented here is the fact that you can't accept Jesus and yet reject any part of His teaching. If you say - you know the part about adultery or divorce or forgiving other people - I don't like that part - but I still believe in Jesus.
If Jesus is God - who are you or I to say that our own ideas on certain topics are better than His. If Jesus truly is Lord - we need to learn to live according to His teachings - regardless of whether or not they are popular - or politically correct.
Jesus, His Teachings, and God - completely inseparable - you may believe it - but do you live it?

I had a lady in bible study once say that she really liked Jesus, but she didn't like God, he was too mean. She really didn't get that they were the same. What she saw was the God in the OT wiping out entire nations and the God of the NT as the loving Jesus.
