NASB | John 8:24 "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 8:24 "That is why I told you that you will die [unforgiven and condemned] in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am the One [I claim to be], you will die in your sins." [Ex 3:14; Matt 24:5; Mark 13:6; Luke 21:8] |
Bible Question: 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? |
Bible Answer: 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. |
