NASB | John 3:19 "This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 3:19 "This is the judgment [that is, the cause for indictment, the test by which people are judged, the basis for the sentence]: the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. [Is 5:20] |
Bible Question (short): Choosing Christ? |
Question (full): And the KJV (with emphasis): John 3:19-20 (KJV) 19 And this is the condemnation, that light (Christ) is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light (Christ), because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light (Christ), neither cometh to the light (Christ), lest his deeds should be reproved. I run into so-called Christians who say they "choose/chose" Christ and became saved. But Jesus emphatically says that no one comes to Him, that all born into the world hate Him. Jesus also taught that a man will have only one master in life and when born into the world that master is darkness (evil/sin). I should note here that everyone that had relationship with God in the Scripture was called of God and none "chose" God or Christ. The disciples were called out of the world and if God or His Christ does not call anyone out of the world that they remain in the world. Let me also note here that the word "lost/loss" is always used of God's Elect when their salvation is being referred. Can one who is in bondage to sin and in the world just "up" and choose Christ without regeneration, without conversion, without the Holy Spirit? Jesus Himself elsewhere said that (salvation) for men is impossible (Matt. 19:26). According to Scripture people cannot justup and choose Christ without the Holy Spirit making the first move. Yet many Christians are deceived in this and sin against God when they meet these false Christians and put light for darkness (and also darkness for light when they treat true born of God like heathens). Are you deceived? (justme, I prefer to not forgive you since you are unwilling to repent so please do not reply here. I want nothing to do with you until you address your false accusation - thank you) |
