James 2:14-17 and 1 John 3:17,18.
As you read both those portions, the message is clear: In the first passage, if a believer sees a brother or sister destitute of food or clothing & does nothing about it except to assure him of prayers that things will turn for the better for him, then that believer's faith is dead.
In the other passage, if a believer is stoney-hearted towards a needy brother or sister, then that attitude raises serious doubt as to whether God's Love resides in him.
As much that it is not in our power to declare the worth of a person's salvation (that is a matter between God & the individual), a person with such an attitude to another's need, does indeed demonstrate a failure in both faith & love - qualities that God's Spirit has bestowed to every child of God. Of course, maybe the hoped-for helper is also in a pathetic position, whether in giving monetary or other assistance. But even in this case, everything possible should be done to ensure that a fellow-believer is cared for. I feel, generally Churches are very responsive in this area & probably most saints as well, but having had connections with the smaller (tighter) groups, such as the Exclusive Brethren, you will never find any person fellowshipping there ever in any want. Houses, food, clothing & jobs are all catered for. We can indeed learn about love & sacrifice from such Fellowships.
I have kept my eye on Iran as well, and our futures depend on peaceful brokerage between all sides.
Ezekiel 38 says that Persia will be among the nations that invade Israel. Israel is surrounded and prophesy is not on their side in this era. The middle east is a ticking time bomb, and time is a precious commodity.
If you read through gifts, Ministries, helps; God has called people to help others. To be the body of Christ on this earth.
Someday we'll be in heaven and all Christians will attend the Bema Seat Judgment handled by Jesus. No one goes to hell. They lose rewards.
1 Corinthians 3:9-15
2 Corinthians 4:13
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for THE DAY shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a REWARD. (Search: 5 Crowns)
If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself SHALL BE SAVED, yet so as by fire.
COMMENT:
Question we ask ourselves honestly: what are we building with?
Are we building up the Body of Christ?
Jesus: we are to be imitating; doing. If we can't Go Ye, then maybe equip those that are? Commit to pray for the laborers to be sent into the Harvest? Luke 10:2
Isaiah 61:1-3, Psalm 147:1-3, Luke 4:18-21
* Matthew 25: 31-46*
I don't know anyone who gets it right all of the time. I don't. There are many great needs these days, and it's going to get worse. We elected leadership that does not know what a budget is for. Step 1: Make your requests known to God.
I'll post the 4 Horsemen of Revelation tomorrow. Book of Revelation will commence whether we believe it or not. Google Lists. Lots of people really work hard on making scripture easier to read.
Now, though, Paul says the fact that they are saved does not mean he can call them spiritual people. They are not living as spiritual people. They are still living as if they were of the flesh. Paul compares them to a person stuck in infancy, who should have matured enough by now to be ready for the solid food of deeper Christian teaching. Instead, they're still on a newborn's all-milk diet. This is not an entirely unique problem, as the writer of Hebrews chastised his readers for a similar weakness ( Hebrews 5:11-14). Instead of living in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit and according to God's wisdom about spiritual things, the Corinthian Christians are still behaving as if they were mere, unspiritual human beings ( 1 Corinthians 3:1-2).
We are the temple of God the Holy Spirit. When we are born again, he comes to indwell in our hearts and He is Our Teacher; if we will ask Him to teach us? It requires Bible study, praying, and practicing quietness so we can hear the Holy Spirit's still small voice.
He has milk, manna and meat. Scripture says to desire the pure milk. A believer that thinks they don't actually have to read the Bible, or attend church to learn: are carnal, live for fleshly pleasures: video games, beer parties, etc.
Jesus is not fire insurance against hell. He paid it ALL on the Cross and died for our personal sin debts. Watch The video, The Passion of the Christ, directed by Mel Gibson.
All this gets sorted out: Matthew 25:32-46 by Jesus Christ. His Bema Seat Judgment occurs before New Jerusalem. For rewards, or no rewards.
Live for Jesus every day.

I have been hearing that Israel will bomb Iran for decades. I would not rule it out, I'll believe it when I see it. If that were the case, Israel were to attack Iran, we can only hope Iran's partners will react responsibly to maintain global order. It might just trigger world war 3, but what wouldn't at this point?

I do believe you are alluding to Babylon's fall.
( Revelation 18:6) Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did mingle mingle to her double.
Using weapons no one has ever seen before, or defend against, by surprise; Belshazzar.
God help us when the curtain comes down.
I just politely restating text book science to say color has a science. I was scraping off social narratives, keeping color to its science and separate actually. I think color is a forgotten science - people just are not taught. Hence all the parsing out of GOD's color identity matched up to what is not color science relative, and becomes incongruous to color sciences, and makes colors laws muddy. Remember: Before you were clothed in Genesis 2:67 in earth' we were already Light! Science has laws of color in Heaven and here, that create unequivocal law and order in His science. Example: World plants for example? The leaves on shrubs are green lets say? Then per color science of photosynthesis 'the sun emits' colorful rays? Yes. By color laws? The green color of the leaf attracts and pairs (as designed) to attract the red rays to grow the green plant. This is the law of color science.
We have a GOD that chastens those He loves and you and I are obedient in devotion. Why? To keep His Kingdom's order, His peace. To the Creator's honor, no more arguing. I heard a Pastor say the other day that the opposite of 'Light' is 'dark'. Not true in fact. So I know color and Light need to be explained better. The KJV- John 8:12 is-as GOD's id is Light= Color. Absolutely 'dark' is not the 'opposite' of GOD's Light! His Light equal to dark? No. Anyway this cannot be. Anyway we know 'out of black or out of white' come all colors,and so Light wins. This is why we are told that in Heaven? We will see beautiful glorious Light only! All the colors! Now how beautiful will this be? (smile - great right?) Pretty wonderful I think that our GOD is Light and so He is Color and the color laws of Heaven bring the Peace and Light we all want. No more color agenda wars. AMEN. This will make the LORD very relieved I am sure. Much love to you friend.
My awoken vision takes two hours and some to speak and then the journey of trial more time and the power given to me and ect ect ,it has been 4 years since i began my life made by holy ghost and fire and ive lost all because of my conviction in my heart to speak to people the hard knowing truth of who and what we suffer in opening the matrix to our father as sons of the only living God our Father as my brother Christ revealed all when he came and i witness that testimony as truth from God our Father through his spirit that his son is in the holy mountain in the highest heavens who loves you mankind he has given you my dearest friend and Lord God's blood for too have all his children collected by him and all who believe in Jesus Christ the blood given for all sin to heal your heart back to God the Father and his son Christ Jesus my God and Lord the only saviour for mankind.
Peace be with you all who love and keep my God's name Christ Jesus in their hearts and may all receive this blessing by him if our father hasn't called you to become minister through prophecy of the spirit of our Lord God Jesus Christ.
Believe on his name and you will be saved on the great day of our Lord God's wrath .
I listen to ministry programs on FM Radio, every day. Some preachers are elderly and others are younger. I enjoy their messages! Radio is listener supported, so if the radio signals are weak or stolen by "pirates", just report it to the FCC online by email.
A Pastor/Evangelist, Greg Laurie has good rapport with young people. He's close to my age and we both share being street ministers in the early 80's. He was in California, and I was in Roswell, the alien capital of the USA, LOL. Very very good memories! He'll be on cable soon.
I learned, when I moved to Tulsa OK, to appreciate all people in ministry and Not Judge. I heard that from the Holy Spirit with my ears. :O I got cured big time that day.
ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO TEACH YOU
John 16:7-8
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter (Teacher) will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Isaiah 11:2 (speaking of Jesus & the Holy Spirit)
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear (reverence;honor) of the LORD;
1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, NOT in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, BUT which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
It takes some relationship to study and hear the Holy Spirit teach it, to your spirit. He knows what you need: milk, bread or meat. A quiet room works best.
He co-created this world, and Jesus went to the Cross to send the Holy Spirit to us. (Pentecost)
He is the Spirit of Christ. Ask HIM which Church He wants you to be in. Seek Him first.

I am not sure if you are truly seeking an answer to John 3:13 (your original question), or if you are passing on what you believe to be the answer?
I have read through your post several times trying to figure out what you are trying to say. Maybe I am just misunderstanding what you are saying but I am having a hard time coming up with the same understanding. What you are saying seems foreign to me. Sorry I couldn't be more help to answer your original question!
Wesley's Notes for Exodus 34:10
34:10 Behold I make a covenant - When the covenant was broke, it was Israel that broke it; now it comes to be renewed, it is God that makes it. If there be quarrels, we must bear all the blame; if there be peace, God must have all the glory. Before all thy people I will do marvels - Such as the drying up of Jordan, the standing still of the sun. Marvels indeed, for they were without precedent, such as have not been done in all the earth; the people shall see, and own the work of the Lord; and they were the terror of their enemies: it is a terrible thing that I will do.
My comment: Israel got right with God and he enabled them to destroy their enemies and chase them out. They became a terror ...
Try word Searching the word TERROR and see if other verses are in the Bible?
It's always interesting to me to read the other verses on the same subject.
I believe in the first option you mentioned, because of the most Biblical support:
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
1 Corinthians 15:51-52 - These first two are clearly stated and would be hard to misinterpret, in my opinion.. Those who die are sleeping awaiting Jesus's return and judgment. But it says not all will sleep, some will be alive and meet Jesus immediately in the air.
Daniel 12:2
1 Thessalonians 5:9-10
Those who believe we go immediately to heaven rely on 2 key verses which in my opinion are misinterpreted.
1. "away from the body with the lord" - based on 2 Corinthians 5:8 and a commonly repeated phrase, but is fake news, because the Bible doesn't say that. Paul said he would "RATHER" be away from his body and with the Lord. It doesn't say in 100% of all cases and 100% of all scenarios 100% of the time if you die you are 100% of the time IMMEDIATELY with the Lord, regardless of anything and everything. It doesn't even come remotely close to saying that, but yet, that's the belief repeated perhaps because it gives people comfort, especially at funerals.
2. The other verse commonly cited as 'proof' of this belief is Jesus on the cross saying on this day you will be with me in paradise. Here's what Jesus didn't say- he didn't say you and 100% of all other people, 100% of the time, in any and all cases, regardless, will INSTANTLY be with me in heaven, and not even face judgment, despite me already saying all will be judged. Jesus didn't say that. God can do whatever He wants and make special exceptions for whomever He wants. It doesn't automatically mean every single action is a template rule for all of humanity. That would be a gross overinterpretation. Also... Jesus didn't say he would go to heaven with him. He said paradise, which may be different. It could be a waiting place where the dead sleep before Jesus returns and before judgment day. Something to think about.
What we fail to see sometimes, Satan was lurking around, going to and fro. He spied Jobs fatherly concern. He used that against Job. He sorted up a storm (tornado?) and everything Job loved, was destroyed. His wife told him to curse God and die.
1 Peter Chapter 5
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
All Job could do was to be still and wait upon God. Myself, it showed me that we are all stronger than we think sometimes. There's a peace when you have faith that God is at work in your situation. Keep your eyes on Jesus.
My comment is this:
I did not comprehend what happened to me when I laid my head on the Bible and spoke, "I deserve to die for what I've done. After reading the penalty: sentence of Death.
I saw a vision of hell, and then I took hold of a invisible Hand. I was delivered of everything. 2 days later I told someone I had been saved.
We gotta get in there and force feed a lot of scripture ASAP. The demons were hanging around my home, trying to kill me or frighten me. They didn't have a home anymore.
I started going to Church and the Pastor was just starting a series on The Curse of the Occult. Being good Baptists, they would cast the demons out of the Church in corporate prayer, first. A demon would say: "you better get up and come with us!"So hateful and cruel.
A word of knowledge was given to the praise leader; he spoke it... "a person who was into the occult come forward". I went. I was prayed for on the spot. I knew that I was free that day. I was still accused daily through spiritual attacks against my mind.
I knew the Holy Spirit was helping me; was inside of me. I read Acts 19:19 and burned everything occult, beer shirts.
Next Sunday I decided once and for all time to show Satan I belonged to Jesus and none other. I was baptized and I was never oppressed again.
You must consume mass quantities of the Bible to garnish your spiritual house (YOU). We have an Eye Gate, Ear Gate, Mouth Gate. Only the Bible can make your gates strong and impenetrable. Wean yourself off media and Music that excites the flesh.
We are not under the Law to be, or not to be water baptised. Do it according to your conscience. It means more to you, when you do it for the right reasons.
You are already born again and baptized with the indwelling Holy Spirit. Be at peace.
You said: "They are three in one, not three different persons."
See, what prevails is the Word of GOD. The Word is GOD.
1 John 5:v. 7 - There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father (GOD, the Father), the Word (the Word made flesh-JESUS), and the Holy Spirit (who is not a ghost as is written in English language), but a Person - the Comforter): and these three are One.
JESUS said: I and my Father are One- John 10:v.30. Two distincts Persons, but both are One.
Concerning the Person of the Holy Spirit (he is not a ghost as is written in English language), JESUS said: John 16:v.12-15: - 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
Matthew 11:v.27 - No man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son,
and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
