John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

God gave his only begotten Son to the world and sent Jesus from heaven so all would believe on him for everlasting life. This verse is not referring to Jesus's death on the cross in saying that God gave the Son. John was not revealing what was revealed to Paul, that Jesus would justify Jew and Gentile by the cross. God sent him into the world so all would believe in Jesus as being the Messiah, the Son of God and by believing receive eternal life and be saved to enter the kingdom on earth.

John 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

God sent his Son from heaven and by believing the word and the Son one could be saved.

John 3:31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.

Jesus was sent from heaven so all would believe on him as Messiah and the Son of God for eternal life and be delivered from wrath.

John 3:36 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.

Why do you keep presenting absurd ideas? Without the death of Christ on the cross, His coming to earth would have been meaningless, and believing on Him would not have resulted in receiving the gift of eternal life.

Another FALSE IDEA. John said "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away THE SIN OF THE WORLD. That includes Jews, Gentiles, and every other nation, race, tribe, and ethnic group.

If you think you have something to say, you need to present it carefully in the light of Gospel truth. And if you are not fully convinced about Gospel truth, you should not post anything either in order to lead people astray.

It seems that you are trying to promote a DISTORTION OF THE GOSPEL. And that is a very dangerous thing. Better for you to remain silent and learn the truth.

Hello
I said "God sent him into the world so all would believe in Jesus as being the Messiah, the Son of God and by believing receive eternal life and be saved to enter the kingdom on earth." All would be Jew and Gentile but that does not mean they were justified freely as revealed by Paul, as they would still be under the new covenant.

Hello
Of course God ordained the cross before the foundation of the world but the gospel revealed to Paul was hid in God; what the people had to believe in the book of John 3:18 was only his name, that he was the Messiah, the Son of God for eternal life, nothing of the cross yet.
