Discuss John 3 Page 71

To HD - Thank-you for your stand on His truth.

JESUS answered andsaid unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he CANNOT SEE the kingdom of God. Vs5 Jesus answered, Except a man be born of WATER and of the Spirit, he CANNOT ENTER the Kingdom of God. Acts 2:38 Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. readMark16:16

Kevin; in answer to your question; Baptism is something God has commanded us to do. Jesus Himself was baptized; and He rebuked and scorned the Pharisees, for not repenting and being baptized. In the last chapter of Mark, Jesus said, that he that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned. We obey because we are converted, and wish to please Him in all things.

What is the purpose of baptism? Can one be saved and go to Heaven without being baptized?

Zeneida; I'm so sorry! I didn't read your post right; I hope you can forgive me. Please don't be mad at me; I had to read a second time; and then I saw that I was to hasty. You say it perfectly; it is not automatic that everyone goes to heaven when they die! This is a great teaching about the meaning, and of our whole experience in this life: we are born into the world to "be made" God's children!

Zeneida; NOT EVERYONE is going to be found written in the Lamb's Book of Life! but those who are truly born from above and converted. We CANNOT just live any way we want! We are bought with a price, and are duty bound to live, no longer to ourselves, but to Him who redeemed us by His blood on the cross. "Except you repent' says Jesus, 'you shall ALL perish."

This chapter let us know,that we can't live any kind of way,die,and go to heaven,so when a love one dies and we say I know you in heaven looking down on us,its not true ,everyone not going to heaven,it clearly states you have to born again of the water n by the spirit,which is the father n the son,n the only way to even worship them is through the spirit because they are a spirit

For those who say the old testament is pointless(it no longer matters) John 3:14 is a direct correlation to Numbers 21:8-9 with Christ saying how he would hang on a pole and how Israel live as a result of this.You have to understand old testament Israelite history to understand new testament prophecy

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.

Thinking you

I would encourage everyone to meditate on John 3. Are You born again? The spiritual birth opens our understanding, eyes to see ears to hear. The natrual birth while we had eyes and ears in the womb until birthed we did not see or hear. Many are not born again in the church let alone the world. They both are a struggle coming out of the womb and then the spiritual birth coming into Christ Jesus.

Gen. 1:1- "In the beginning God." Gen. 1:26a- "And God said, Let us make man in our image..." This is the Trinity- God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word" The Bible tells us that in the beginning the Word existed. In ver. 14 it says the Word was made flesh, Jesus came in the form of man, and is the only begotten of the Father. John 3:16

remember that archangel michael camps outside your door to protect you......

Amen we can only grow in Jesus if we obey him in everything he has told us in his word and in that we will be bless praise the Lord Jesus.U will No them by their Fruits watch and pray.

Love it 😍

john 3:16

God does not hate like man hates. God's hatred is toward sin, He will separate the sinner from Himself. This is not contradictory to God's love, for in his love for sinners God has made it possible for sin to be forgiven so that all can be reconciled to God. John 3:1-21, God talks about the New Birth! God is not willing that any should parish but that all should come to repentance. ( 2 Peter 3:9)

To Tabitha - remember Abraham taking Isaac up the mtn. to sacrifice him? But God provided a ram caught by it's horns in the brush. As God wasn't cruel enough to let A. follow through, neither would He be cruel enough to sacrifice His 'son'. The Bible says, God was MANIFEST in the flesh. God provided HIMSELF with a flesh body in the incarnation with Mary to be the sinless sacrifice for our sins.

Sue M. John 3:16 "Whosoever believeth in him" Do the wicked

So amazing of God to send his one and only son to die for us Amen

So, to get back to my original ?...where was this place when satan came with the "sons of God"? The sons of God are simply those of us who are saved. Rom 8:14, John 1:12, 1 John 3:1, and many more references.

I would like to open a discussion about verse 5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
My question is, how do we reconcile this verse with John 3:16? Thanks for your insights.

In further responce to John 3:14, He was not only speaking to Israel but to all the world, because the sins of the whole world (our sins) is what he took the place of, ( John 3:16) and was lifted up on the cross for.

Thank you God, and thank you Jesus.

I believe you Jesus thanks to your blood that shed for us. You are more than enough that i need. I will praise you and worship you alone. Your words and your spirit abided in me. Help me Lord to be born again in spirit every moment of my life amen

He is speaking of the world of Israel not the Entire world... John 3:14 makes that very clear

Mary, Amen ! Either Jesus died for all or he died for no one. We are the whosoevers !

I am an whosoever!
So are you
We are all called not just some Calvinist's.
Comment on John 3:16

In deep thinking, I Can't even begin to Phantom God's Love, because He God gave his Only begotten Son Jesus for Me...a Sinner. I don't know any human living that would do that for this World. I try everyday to live right but Satan is constantly busy in My life so that tells Me that God has Something Great in store for Me so I Strive harder and sometimes I Fail but I Repent and Keep going Forward in Faith. Thank God for his Son Jesus :

Flee from the wrath to come.
