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 (short): Is your religion a true religion? |
Question (full): 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? |
