Bible Question (short): 1 John passages interpretation |
Question (full): All these questions concern the correct interpretation of 1 John Passages. 1 John 5 6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.(What is the water supposed to symbolize?God?) 1 John 3 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (Does this mean I can't sin, or don't sin???) 1 John 5 16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. (What is the sin unto death?) 1 John 5 17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. (again witht he death sin???) 18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. (here it is again where it says I don't sin?) 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. (this is the last line of his letter and seems totally disparrate from the theme ???) 1 John 5 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. (Even our faith???) 1 John 4 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. (are we in the day of judgement or is it in the end?) |
