Agree that in this instance Jesus was referring to the unbelieving Jews, and He referred to them as the world because they were unbelieving. But just a heads-up here, that we need to be careful with words in scripture because the same word can be referring to different things. Eg, the word "world" is sometimes referring to the Gentile nations as opposed to the Jews/Israel. (Same goes for the word "perfect" as well, it is not always referring to the same sense of the word.)
Also if you want to play word twister johan is your guy.

Then call yourself out since your personal attacks on me are dishonest. 90% of what I post is Scripture with a few comments.My opinions are formed from Scripture and you do just the opposite form scripture around your ideas, opinions and experience. That is the exact opposite of what the Bible teaches.

hope this helps !!!
90% of what you post is indeed dishonest. You are a troll come to take away from the truth of the bible on these threads.

Get creative. Start your own thread..about fish stories of another kind.

Paul claims they entered the holiest of holies through the crucified flesh of Christ. He implies they entered through/beyond. Why do so many here imply they only make it too the cross, and that is where they stay?
If they believe in Christ they do . New life is given to those who believe in Christ . They enter in . Not other false religions .
A true example. Go talk to ex muslims who NOW follow Christ .
They too would tell you their old religion was false . So would a ex buddists or ex hindu who came to Christ .
SEE they actually repent from their lie . Any true conversion to CHRIST would BELEIVE ON HIM
and no longer follow the darkness .

So why is it everyone is stating they are at the foot of the cross, even singing songs about it, and alluding to some future trip to heaven?

Wow calling Scripture dishonest, yikes.

My last few posts were all Jesus teachings on Pentecost and Eternal life.

Blasphemous. Your true colors are showing up this morning loud and clear for all to see.

Care to elaborate?
a ditch digger is one who digs a ditch and lays a snare for men to fall into . LIKE A FALSE GOSPEL .
We do have us some ditch diggers amongst us . Only it aint us that are the ones preaching some other gospel
THEY are the ditch diggers . We are those who simply preach the life saving gospel of Christ JESUS .
Now lift those hands and let the LORD be praised .

Cause while we are seated with Christ in heavenly places
we still await His glorious coming which shall change our bodies .
While we have indeed come unto Mount zion , the heavenly jerusalem .
STILL we wait for the coming city as well . For flesh and blood cannot inherit
the Kingdom . One day we will have new changed glorified bodies .
Till then we are connected to it by the SPIRIT , but one day we walk IN IT . WELL if we dont preach
some other social gospel . Cause that gospel cannot save . But the glorious gospel of Christ sure can .

The crows are out to feed this morning.

When I post scriptures you call it false teaching. You hate the truth. But when you posts scripture...and then add in your silly notions based on indoctrination...I call that out.

Rather odd , epi makes fun of me for calling ourselves lambs
but he seems to have no problem calling us crows .
Remember that epi . your comment about a nursery . yet here you go again
calling the lambs crows . Guess we both use the names of animals .
