1 | Can believers not be of God? | John 8:47 | dayoak | 137932 | ||
John 8:31 states that Jesus is talking to those who have believed in him. The Bible states that no one can come to Christ except the Father draw them. Hence, they would have to in a sense, hear God. Yet in John 8:47, after several verses of dialogue, he states that they do not hear the words of God, "because you are not of God." Can someone give me their opinoin, or a perspective on this statement. I would think for a person to be a beliver, would make that person someone of God's. | ||||||
2 | Can believers not be of God? | John 8:47 | DocTrinsograce | 137935 | ||
According to scripture, belief is gift of God (as you have pointed out) because they are drawn to Christ. "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." John 3:18 | ||||||
3 | believer or disciple | John 8:47 | dayoak | 137939 | ||
We agree that it is a work of God for someone to become a believer, so why then does Jesus say they do not hear the words of God because they are not of God? In vs 31, it says that Jesus is specificly addressing those who had believed him, yet his response to them in that verse is a conditional statement. "IF you hold to my teachings, you are really my disciples." Does this indicate Jesus makes a distinction between a believer and a disciple? |
