NASB | John 5:19 ¶ Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 5:19 ¶ So Jesus answered them by saying, "I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself [of His own accord], unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever things the Father does, the Son [in His turn] also does in the same way. |

Bible Note: Hey Tim, Good point. You're absolutely right that my bias is that I adhere to neither, but I am willing and prepared for both. About the "lack of evidence" comment: I am not saying that the premillenialist theory has no foundation or is not credible. I'm saying that its credibility is in the fact that many of the stated things seem not to have happened yet, and this perception allows for unsubstantiated substantiation. *laugh* Get my drift? Now, are you truly telling me in all honesty that you had no preconceived notions whatsoever? Because I find that hard to believe. I know complete heathens that believe "Jesus is coming back," or have at least heard the concept. If you heard the concept prior to picking up the book, you would have a natural affinity for taking the scriptures in that sense. Also, the liklihood of you being well versed in history at that stage in your Christianity, while not impossible, is not likely, so you would not have any idea that some of the things mentioned COULD have already happened.
