Oh sorry. I misunderstood. No, an honest misunderstanding. You're saying you deny there is a need for a resolution. 1. Yes, I've made many threads where I've discussed the entirety of Scripture; this is the first and only where I've limited it to John's writings. 2. Every thread, to an extent...

When you are doing, you are thinking, and it is expected that the thinking you are doing while doing is a believing type of thinking, unbroken from believing in God's love (1 Jn 4:16), but this assumes you have believed in His love, which expresses itself as mercy for your sins, so that you do...

But you can't "resolve" something that needs no resolution. I thought you said there was a "tension" in John, so how is that not admitting there is a need for a resolution (ie, admitting there is an issue)? I'm not going to discuss other things than John's Gospel--there're other threads (even...

Well, at least you will admit there is an issue that needs resolving!

I would respectfully disagree, since the "little chidlren" are warned "abide in Him so that you will not shrink back in shame at His appearance" (1 Jn 2:28), so the "branches" that don't "abide" (Jn 15) obtains even among those who "truly" believe, which seems to uphold Jn 8 "if you remain in My...

As has already been explained many times, I hope to keep this discussion within John's Gospel. I have, in many other threads, using all the Scriptures, made the same sort of argument you are making--I'd rather discuss in terms of the entirety of Scripture on one of those--but, still, I had /...

I understand you're responding to something someone wrote, but I really wanted the thread to stay on topic (the topic is in the OP) and, again, within the Gospel of John. You'll notice I did not engage with her reply. Please understand : What I don't want to happen as a result of your reply is...

Jesus doesn't preach anything different to Jews and non-Jews in John's Gospel, and Jews and non-Jews respond the same way (with faith and with being sent or going and speaking about Christ / seeking the glory of Him Who sent them), so the loop is closed--theres's no space to speculate the two...

Google AI on John's Gospel's audience : "While John's Gospel was written with both Jewish and Gentile readers in mind, its unique style and content suggest a particular emphasis on appealing to non-Jewish audiences. The Gospel frequently explains Jewish customs and geography, implying that many...

1. For this thread, I was looking to stick to John's Gospel. 2. Eating Christ's flesh and drinking His blood, unto eternal life, is defined as being sent by Christ and doing His will (Jn 4:31-34, 6:57), which is to seek the glory of the one who sent them (Jn 7:18), and this was exemplified by...

I gotta pray more often! It's a bit stressful just thinking about what I will miss out on if not!

I want to say I still believe faith is incomplete, and must be completed by works, but I think the first way to align works with your faith is by resting from your own trying to do what Christ already did--rest from works done in fear that are done to save yourself / reconcile yourself to God...

I've discussed @Behold's views with him, and I learned that we differ, and neither of us is persuaded by the other's arguments. Also, @Behold hasn't merited discussion with me--he has decided not to answer previous answers I gave him, so, until he answers those answers, I won't invest in...

It's a difficult one for me. It's easy to say "Yes, God is love," but living that fully is something else.

Yeah, RFK Jr could get him to lose weight by getting him addicted to crack cocaine--it doesn't mean it's healthy! LOL!

Yup, SDAs represent a Blue Zone. Nutritionfacts.org discusses the verified benefits of vegetarianism, but guys like Dr. Cousens go all the way with raw veganism.

Dr. Gabriel Cousens says the B12 created in the gut does you no good unless you eat your poop (like rodents, which do not suffer from a B12 deficiency), and, so, it behooves us to find a more palatable source. lol

I tried really hard to honor what was written--both sides of the coin... probably better to discuss further over there than here.

Sounds good. Have a blessed day!

Guy It would be best to get in to "Oddly OSAS" on the "Oddly OSAS" thread--and only after having read a little of what is meant by "Oddly OSAS", so that you do not run afoul of Proverbs 18:13.
