  Introduction The dualism is the distinction between two principles as independent of one another and in some instances opposed to one another.   For example, God is set over against some spiritual principle of evil or the material world in theology. Spirit over against matter in philosophy.   In this paper, the author is going to extract the dualism found in the Johannine literature.   There are many dualisms found in the gospel of John like truth and falsehood, light and darkness, life and death, love and hate and two worlds; world above and world below and so on. 1.       Background of the Johannine dualism 1.1.

  1.          According to the Mathew 26:26-28, The bread and wine are the sign of New Covenant. The bread represents the body of Christ and the wine represent the blood of Christ. taking bread and drinking wine will not change our life but it reminds us what Christ has done for us. the bread and wine are like the wedding ring of bridegroom for his bride.  The ring reminds bride her bridegroom's love, commitment for her. in the same way, the two elements of the lord's supper bread and wine reminds us Christ love and commitment for everyone who partake on it. It is the new covenant of Christ for his people. Some people believe that the blood and body of Christ is literally changed in the wine and bread of the lord's supper whereas others say it is the only symbolled. I believe that it is only symbols.

  All people are born slaves to sin from the womb of a mother (Psalm51). They are under the slavery of sins.   Jesus said who does sins is a slave to sin (John8:34).

The word of God removes the heart of ston...
