Now your mocking

Did the people who “looked up” and lived, hang on the stakes?

If you’re not willing to understand what it is. And just want to Mock like Epi and his sister does. We can’t help you.

The pharisee did this to Christ. Let’s not be like the pharisee. And listen and study
I heard a mocker was mentioning my handle...so I came over and imagine that... a Pharisee warning others to not be like a Pharisee. :rolleyes:

No

we KNOW we have eternal life. And because of this fact WE continue to believe (The apostle John)

and this faith is what allows us to walk in the spirit.

You deny this.
Amen John 1:12-13, John 3:16-18, John 20:31, 1 John 5:12-13 and dozens of other confirm its true.

You are missing the point here. Even though the people looked to the serpent and lived...they still perished in the wilderness through unbelief. Don't make a simple look cover up the hard bitten rebellion of the outer man. Go to the cross...or you will likewise die in your sins.

Stop just looking and GO to the cross.
Wrong go to the Resurrection !

1 Corinthians 15:17- And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

The passage declares if Christ is not risen, raised from the dead, resurrected then our faith is in vain and we are still dead in our sins. We are saved by His life/Resurrection not His death. His death atoned for sin but does not give life.


Romans 4:24-25
but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.

Paul declares in Romans 5:10 the following: For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Cf Acts 17:31.

hope this helps !!!

I reject this idea that anyone posting here was there.
And we never said we were there

But you cant hear this, Because your to busy trying to prove everyone wrong

I was baptized into Christ and his death 40 years agO Not 2000 years ago. When I came to the cross.

When were you baptised into christ. Or have you ever been?

The gospel of John was written- His purpose statment for writing it was so that those who read it will believe Jesus is the promised Messaih and that believing in Him you will have eternal life.

Eternal life is the marker that you have believed. Jesus says that if you had but a little faith you could move mountains. What is the proof you have faith...the mountain is moved.

Now you rely on pretending....using words in the bible, and then claiming to have all the results without meeting ANY of the conditions.

Children play with toys...but an adult is supposed to know the difference between what is pretend and what is real. I am the adult in the room...and I notice how you are playing with bible verses that you think you understand.


Eternal life is found only in the Son-

Yes...IN the Son...not in you.
He who has the Son has life and he who does not have the Son is condemned. Once again your doctrines conflict with and oppose the Bible.

hope this helps !!!
Backward logic. A pretend faith is not real faith. Doctrines can't save you. You have to enter INTO Christ for that to happen.

Go to the cross....surrender your life to God.

Describe real faith for us how about that. Demons believe, have faith so what.

You can't go to a resurrection. And you will never know eternal life unless you go to the cross.

Always with the cross avoidance and denial with you. Go to the cross and die to your religious posturing.

Your ego says...rejecting me is the same as rejecting the bible.

OK children time to stop pretending! Time to wake up and walk in truth.
I'm in Him who is True- The True God and Eternal Life- the Son Jesus Christ.

1 John 5:20
We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

hope this helps !!!
