Subject: Essentials, where is the proof? |
Bible Note: Greetings Atdcross! The word used in John 3:36 can also be translated as 'not believe'. This would actually make more sense in the context of the chapter since John constantly contrasts 'believe' and 'not believe'. This contrast is found in the following verses: John 3:12 - " I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?" John 3:18 - "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son." John 3:36 would then make the same contrast. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
