Discuss John 3 Page 68

Disciple: No sinner as the advocate we the children who are born again has the advocate. When I was a sinner the devil was my advocate. Put it in context 1st John 2. "If any man sin" Man being the outsider NOT "If any children sin" we ((the born agains)) have the advocate Jesus Christ the righteous. What is that advocate? By telling man in 1st John 1:9 to confess their sin give up their sin.

But Mr. Kelly; the same John wrote just a few verses away from where you're referring; These things I write to you that you not sin; but if anyone sin, we have an Advocate with the Father...There is a sin not unto death, and there is a sin unto death; and the Lord has authorized whom He has anointed to discern and judge and pronounce in His name: to loose or bind, to remit or retain peoples sins.

"If your brother trespass against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day say to you, I repent; you shall forgive him..Seventy times seven!" There is righteousness; in the repentance, and in the mercy of the other to release him. Sinners can't prevent righteousness by sinning; but oppose, contradict, fight against, etc. When we bear up cheerfully under wrongs done, its righteousness.

God and Father of Jesus never changes, Ezekiel 18:4"The soul the sinneth it shall die" Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death," ((hell fire and brimstone)) it pays to serve the devil it pays to sin your wage or payment is called death. All sin is of the devil period 1st John 3:8 no such scripture as "He that commith sin is of God" all sinners will burn Rev 21:8 unless they get righteous.

the bible plainly says, all sin and fall short of the glory of god. when you accepted Christ as your lord and savior he instantly forgave all of your sins BOTH PAST AND FUTURE. nowhere in the new testament does it say you have do anything other than believe in Jesus. this is no ticket to sin because we all no what is right and wrong. read Romans chapter 7 v15 to the end of the chapter

David Davies. What is repentance?

Kelly, disciple: In John 3v16 it says "God so loved the world" the world would include Everyone as we All live in it so He loves us All. We are all sinners and the Lord wants to save us. I repented from my sins confessed and put my faith in Christ, Christ died for All and I look forward to metting you both in Heaven.

Brother David; The Lord knows us altogether, and He knows our strengths and weaknesses and all our goings out and comings in; and has already made a way for us to walk in solid victory and not stumble. In the Sermon on the mount the Lord first speaks of the kind of character that we are to have; and through each topic describes precisely how to walk and to please God. 2 Peter 1 (e.g.) also tells.

David: no such scripture as God hates the sin and not the sinner. Sinners are around to produce sin. When there are no sinners around there is righteousness. God destroyed both the sin and the sinner in Noah's flood. Without Jesus Christ the Son of God and his words in you man only has a mirage for a God.

David: That love is 100% conditional love the words ((if)) and ((whosoever)) conditionals as Jesus never preached he loves everybody. He wants to love everybody, but everybody don't want to love him that is the difference. John 14:23] Jesus answered and said unto him, ((If)) a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

John 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.

David: no love in John 3:16 it is past tense and conditional love basic 101 English. John 3:18 is that love. John 3:18 those who beieve vs those who do NOT believe. Again you are way out of context. John 3:16] For God so lov((ed)) the world, that he ((gave)) his only begotten Son, that ((whosoever)) believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

David: Jesus is only coming back for righteous people a saved sinner is a righteous person 1st John 3:[8] He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
[9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is bor

KELLY: I know that I am Born Again because I confessed my sins, repented and put my Faith in Christ.
Are you saying that since you were Born Again you've never sinned? never done or thought anything you shouldn't of. God hates sin and He's VERY SAD when the ones He's forgiven do sin. He will always be with us, even when we fail Him. The one's that have never repented will perish in Hell.

Continued: and we will be with Him in Heaven. It's the lost that will perish in Hell Forever. 1 John 1v10 says "If we say that we have not sinned we make Him a liar". The Lord will forgive All those who repent, and it's the forgiven ones who will be in Heaven when the Lord returns.

Andrew: Romans 3v23 says "For All Have Sinned" we are All sinners. John 3v16 " For God so loved the world" He loves All, The Lord Jesus came to earth the first time to die and He will come again to take the forgiven ones Home to Heaven. I too am saved by God's Amazing Grace and my sins are forgiving, but SADLY the forgiven ones do sin sometimes but He forgives us.

Acts 2:38

Believing only is not all we must do. Read John 3 about Nicodemus!
How can Christians be so blind? Many are. It going to make it because they only believe in parts.

Believing is only the first step!

Emmanuel God with us = John 3:16 God sent his Son, he is still with Israel. This is where people mess up thinking God literally with us in the flesh, when it is an interpretation, an interpretation of events. Mark 12:1-11 The vine yard owner sent his Son and not himself as God became nothing in the flesh he sent his Son in the likeness of sinful flesh. Romans 8:3.

David: if we are all sinners then Jesus is coming back for nobody then. My bible says in 1st John 3:8 "he that commith sin is of the devil.." Jesus told people in John 5:19 "Sin no more." Jesus came and died so we can be free and clear from all sin. I am an ex-sinner saved by grace Romans 6:18. My bible in John 9:31 tells me God don't hear the prayer of sinners. All sinners will burn Rev 21:8.

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

VS

John 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.

I think Psalm 23 gives me hope and a feeling of salvation knowing that He is with me and that I should not fear anything that is not good.. John 3:16 also sums things up for me in a nut shell.

Christians aren't prone to sinning. That's why the begotten Son of God died on the cross. He cancelled sin in spirit and the flesh. Christians are to purify themselves as in 1 John 3: 1-3. 1 John 3: 6 states He that abideth in Him sinneth not, he that sinneth hath not seen Him neither known Him.

Whatever sins we have committed and we have all committed sins because we are ALL sinners. God wants to save All those who come to Him through faith and repentance. Whatever sins we have done, and whatever sins the people of this world have done, God sees us ALL as sinners and that we ALL need to be saved. Whatever we have done and whatever our past was like, God wants to save us.

I certainly wouldn't want God to change, He always was and always will be the same Loving, Forgiving, Trustworthy God. I Love Him cause He first Loved me. God wants All to repent and All sinners who don't repent, God will send them to Hell and the Lake of Fire for rejecting Him. God HASN'T chosen some people to be saved then forgets the rest. He wants All people to be saved. Cause He Loves ALL.

TRUE, TRUE, TRUE! But of those who will not ever repent and believe; those who are in their innermost selves determined to be son's of the devil; those who trample upon the conscience till no word of God can penetrate; those who will not prepare themselves to receive the word in a good and right heart; those who foolishly WON'T DO all that Jesus commands; God cannot change His own nature for them!

V16. When it says "God so loved the world" means He loves ALL. He went to the cross and died for ALL, his friends and enemies. God hates sin But loves the sinner, us. God lookes in our hearts and is sad at the sins we do, But He still loves us. The Lord wants ALL to repent and ALL unrepented sinners will go to Hell.

God loves everyone? What about Psalms 11:5? "The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth." And Malachi 1:2-4; "..I loved Jacob, and I hated Esau.." God first loved us, and sent His only begotten Son into the world to die for us to save us from our sins. He is good, kind, and patient, even toward His enemies; but for His love they are His adversaries.

Jesus said"I am the way, truth and light, no man come unto the father except through Him. John 14:6. Not saved threw baptism, but it is a command of God. Matt. 3:15, 28:19, John 3:26. Baptism is like a wedding rings, you put the rings on to show you belong to someone, baptism is showing you belongs to that Church, belief in The Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, you belong to The family of God

So then; what is it that makes one worthy of entering the kingdom of God, while many others will be rejected, disowned, and turned away to weeping and gnashing of teeth?What makes one man wise, and another man stupid; since both were hearers of the Word, and building a house they hoped would shelter them fro the coming storm? Its because of "DOING" WHAT THE LORD SAYS, that we are able to overcome!

V36, All we have to do is Believe, there's Nothing we can do to earn Salvation.
If we Believe we have Everlasting Life.
What a wonderful promise.
