Insults are not an argument. The text still stands. Jesus says, “if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins” ~John 8:24. He attaches salvation to believing who He is. That is not the language of a mere messenger. They immediately ask, “Who art thou?” ~John 8:25 because the claim...

You’re right, obedience matters. Jesus said plainly, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” ~John 14:15. Real faith does not ignore Him.

You’re overlooking the reaction of the audience and the flow of the passage. In John 8 Jesus repeatedly says “I am” and ties eternal life to believing it, “if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins” ~John 8:24. The Jews then ask who He is ~John 8:25 because the claim is weighty...

They weren’t knowingly pretending. They were self-deceived. Notice their surprise. They say, “Lord, Lord… have we not prophesied in thy name… and in thy name done many wonderful works?” ~Matthew 7:22. They expected acceptance. That means they believed their works proved they belonged to Him...

You’re putting your finger on something real. The Bible never treats belief as just saying the right sentence. Even demons know God is real ~James 2:19, and Jesus warned some will talk about what they did for Him yet hear “I never knew you” ~Matthew 7:22-23. So faith is more than lip service. It...

Good passage to bring up, because it actually answers your point, not supports uncertainty. Notice what Jesus says: “I never knew you” ~Matthew 7:23. Not I knew you once and then rejected you. Not you lost Me. He says never. The issue in that text is not a believer failing. It is a professor...

Yes. Jesus was declaring Himself to be the LORD of Exodus. God spoke to Moses, “I AM THAT I AM… I AM hath sent me” ~Exodus 3:14 Later God declares, “that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he… before me there was no God formed” ~Isaiah 43:10. Listen to Jesus, not theology. Not...

Sure, show me.

You joke about hell because you think the comparison is the issue. It isn’t. The issue is guilt before God. Scripture does not ask whether you’re worse than Dahmer. It says, “there is none righteous, no, not one” ~Romans 3:10 and “all have sinned” ~Romans 3:23. God does not judge on a curve. He...

Stop bluffing with “you don’t understand.” Your response dodges the text. I never said Jesus “chose English.” I quoted what John wrote under inspiration, because “All scripture is given by inspiration of God” ~2 Timothy 3:16 and “thy word is truth” ~John 17:17. John records Jesus saying, “Before...

You keep saying the charge was that He made Himself equal with God, and that is true. Scripture records it plainly ~John 5:18, ~John 10:33. But then you try to shrink the reason down to “He only meant He existed before Abraham.” That is where the fog starts. Christ did not say, “I existed...

If you believe my teaching contradicts Christ as “the way, the truth, and the life” ~John 14:6, then name the specific teaching and show it from Scripture. A charge without evidence proves nothing. “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” ~1 Thessalonians 5:21.

You’re not saved by surviving hardship, and you’re not condemned because life treated you unfairly. The question is not whether the universe noticed you. The question is whether you have come to Christ. Creation does not reconcile you to God. Scripture says creation only leaves man without...

You just posted a wall of translators hoping quantity can overrule Scripture. It cannot. God did not tell us salvation hangs on which English rendering we prefer. He tied it to believing who Jesus is. Jesus did not say, “if you believe I existed a long time you will live.” He said, “if ye...

Once again, it is not my opinion. It is what the bible actually says. You’re still trying to rescue your conclusion with “scholars” and grammar labels, but God never told us to submit to scholars. He told us to submit to Scripture. Jesus said, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is...

It is not imagination to compare passages. Scripture teaches us to do exactly that. “Comparing spiritual things with spiritual” ~1 Corinthians 2:13. The Bible explains itself, so related passages are not unrelated when they speak about the same claim. Jesus’ statement cannot be isolated from the...

Scripture never treats the condition of the heart as the only issue. The message must also be true. Paul warned that even sincere people can believe a false gospel, and if the message changes, “let him be accursed” ~Galatians 1:8. And the new birth comes through truth heard, not merely inner...

Yes, these warnings are real. But the danger is not just “bad teachers out there.” The danger is a false gospel being accepted as Christianity. Scripture does not leave it vague. “Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you… let him be accursed” ~Galatians 1:8. That...

Finding the truth is easy. God did not place it into the opinions of scholars and theologians. He placed it in His Word. “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” ~John 17:17. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God” ~2 Timothy 3:16. We don’t have trouble accessing the Word. We...
