...bible, just the Holy Spirit? As John is addressing the readers of this epistle as little children in 1 John 2:1 and as young children in verse 18, it is clear this is not a letter to the members who make up the 144,000 but to new Christians and as such is for all Christians today as well.
1Jn 2:20 And YOU have an anointing from the holy one; all of YOU have knowledge. [Watchtower version]
1Jn 2:27 And as for YOU, the anointing that YOU received from him remains in YOU, and YOU do not need anyone to be teaching YOU; but, as the anointing from him is teaching YOU about all things, and is true and is no lie, and just as it has taught YOU, remain in union with him. [Watchtower version]
