“Whosoever goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son.” (2 John 9; ASV)
Proago – to precede (Strong’s); to go before (Thayer’s)
Traveling onward and away from the teaching of Christ hath not God.
“At least we are doing something.”
Perhaps you are “doing something” without God…
One can “progress” to the point that one loses the light of truth.
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalm 119:105; KJV)
“…hath not God…” (2 John 9; KJV)
