      Let me ask you a question James, and it requires common sense and   
   truth to answer it.   
      
   Who is better prepared to know if a person has sinned, you or that person?

      John was in Ephesus when he wrote this letter. He sent it to the   
   churches in that region. He wrote to the Christians in those churches.   
   He knew them well and he loved them. He thought of them as his own   
   family. So he spoke to them as if he was speaking to his own children.   
      
      John was speaking to those people present before him. He was NOT   
   speaking of people in the future!
