Subject: What is the AKJV? |
Bible Note: I find your answer to be questionable--John 3:36 clearly states : (KJV) He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. The Amplified does not change this meaning. What this is saying is that whoever believes that Jesus IS the Son of God has everlasting life--and whoever doesn't, isn't going to see eternal life, because their eyes are not open to see Christ as their Saviour. As far as the "wrath of God" I am wondering if this is a bit tongue in cheek, for Strong's states that "wrath" is from the Greek word "orge" which has a tertiary meaning as of punishments inflicted by magistrates--in other words punishment from the Jewish authorities for being a follower of Christ. (This is just speculation, but interesting to consider), as I don't see God as punishing those who don't believe in Christ. Christ taught God loves us, and is not a God of punishment, thus, my speculation. At any rate, the word "belief" (in this instance, from the Greek word "pisteuo" is used means "to trust in Jesus or God as able to aid either in obtaining or in doing something: saving faith"--from Strong's Concordance. I find your definition to be a bit murky at best--but please clarify in case I have not understood your meaning. |
