1 | Is your religion a true religion? | John 8:24 | Andy S. | 234448 | ||
The last two responses to John 8:24 is exactly what I expected from the Christian Community. Theologians, scholars and pastors disagree about this verse. The disagreement over this verse presents two different gospels. Will I "die in my sins" if I don't think Jesus is Jehovah or will I "die in my sins" if I don't think Jesus is the Son of God. Are some people adding to the gospel or are others eliminating a truth to the gospel by saying one must only believe that Jesus is the Son of God and not Jehovah. Some people believe that I must believe that Jesus is Jehovah unless I will "die in my sins" and others say that I only have to believe in the name of the "only begotten Son of God". Here's my question: Can the Trinitarian religion even be true if scholars, theologians and pastors disagree on the requirement of belief needed for salvation? | ||||||
2 | Is your religion a true religion? | John 8:24 | DPMartin | 234473 | ||
Andy Well just by your use of words its simple, theologians think, and followers believe, of which the Lord our God is the witness, for He sees men’s hearts. Men clothe themselves in theology “religion”, “isms” if you will, and then act on what they believe, but if a man is clothed in Christ, has put on Christ, it is because the Lord has clothed the man with what the Lord is, in the Presence of the Father. |

3 | What's your interpretation DPMartin? | John 8:24 | Andy S. | 234492 | ||
Hey DPMartin, I loved your last response to the requirement of belief needed for salvation when I asked if one needs to believe in a Binity in order to be saved. Can you give your interpretation of John 8:24 then. Is Jesus claiming to be yahweh? If you believe He is then you have to believe in some aspect of the Trinity unless you will "die in your sins". I'm curious to know what's your interpretation. It sure doesn't seem to me that this "I AM" statement is a Divine title because the circumstantial evidence is the Jews asking him, "who are you" in verse 25. I'm curious of your interpretation to this verse. |

4 | What's your interpretation DPMartin? | John 8:24 | DPMartin | 234504 | ||
Andy I don’t have an interpretation of, or interpret scripture. The interpretation if you will is Jesus Christ, He is correct, I am incorrect, He is the interpretation and fulfillment of scripture, not something I think. Remember when Jesus appeared to those guys walking alone a road after He was resurrected, and they said there hearts burned when Jesus was showing them the things He fulfilled in the scriptures. So it is. If you take note that the woman that was accused and the Lord said “ He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” that they called Him Master, and she called Him Lord. It is the acknowledgment, that shows belief. In the context of, “for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” is simple. With out the Lord coming from where He came from to save us from were we are, we would remain were we are as in the world made from the earth as He said we are from below and He is from above, Heaven is above earth. We were born into the place of sin (the world, condemnation) . These might help: Jn:3:17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Jn:3:18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Jn:3:19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Jn:5:24: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Therefore it is the belief that the Lord God sees, “witnesses “. Going to a church and bowing and calling the Lord, Lord ain’t going to get it, because it is the truth of what is in a man’s heart is what the Lord God sees. What is done in the Presence of God is what is important, not what is done in the presence of men. Of corse I am sure you know that already. Thanks |
