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: Just for grins, it is simple to understand Father Son and Holy Ghost. Holy Ghost is Presence of God, Hence Jesus says God is Spirit (also see Gen:1:2) and therefore His Presence is Spirit just as your presence is flesh in your presence is within proximity of your flesh. In God’s Presence God speaks just as in your presence you speak. You do have to be present to speak, right? Even if its recorded still the original would have to be in your presence or it’s a fake. Therefore God in His own Presence speaks, and His Word is Lord, the Lord, and Light (Gen:1:3). So powerful is His Word it lives and gives Life, and all that He made is made through His Word, and His Word is begotten of Him in His Presence, and all rests on His Word. |
