Discuss John 5 Page 49

Can anyone explain why these two scriptures are in direct contradiction to each other?

John 5,31
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

John 8,18
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

In both scriptures Jesus is speaking, They are written by the same writer, I don't understand, I thought the Bible was infallible,
What is the truth? Does Jesus bear witness of himself or not?

I BELIEVE MAN IS ALWAYS SEEKING KNOWLEGE , I BELIEVE THIS IS A WARNING TO US ,MAN HAS FALLEN NOT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT GOD SAID' BUT LIKE ADAM CHOSE TO DO WRONG. PAUL AND NICODIMUS BOTH SCHOLARS BUT THIER STUDY'S DIDN'T BRING THEM CLOSER ONLY A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER WITH CHRIST.

In reading 1John 3:9 we need to define "sin".
Sin is NOT referring to our physical failings.
Instead, it's transgression of the law, 1John 3:4.

But we're NOT under the law, Rom 8:2, Rom 10:4, Gal 5:18. Hence believers CANNOT be charged with this sin.

Sin is unrighteousness, 1John 5:17.
But a believer's faith is counted for righteousness, Rom 4:5. Hence we CANNOT be charged with this sin.

Sin is unbelief in Jesus, John 16:9.
Believers CANNOT be charged with this sin.

So, as believers, we CANNOT sin.

That the dead in Christ shall rise ....amen

He said from his own lips" I take no glory from men". He knew who he was and so did his close friends. He was Gods son. Everyone coming in contact with him could see him and even touch him, something that nobody could do if he were God. Jn 1:34, and Jn1 1:18.

Job asked this question 4000 years ago, “if a man dies shall he live again?” The Lord Jesus answered it in John 11:25, 26; I am the resurrection, and the life, he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die. So just like Job, we too must wait all the days of our appointed time, until our change shall come. John 5:25, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live. So thank God that Jesus destroyed the last enemy death on the cross, and has brought immortality to light. Now because Jesus lives, we too shall live.

In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
CONFIDENCE
1 John 5:14-15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
How many of us lack confidence when we pray? We pray out of duty with very little anticipation of anything really changing or happening. Does this sound like your prayer life?
God really desires to answer our prayers and to give us the things that we are often in need of, but so often we sense that God is far from us and doesn't really care what is going on in our lives. I believe God really does care for us and desires to answer our prayers in a way that brings glory and honor unto His name.

II Corinthians 13:5 “Examine yourself, whether ye be in the faith, prove yourself:
- Do you enjoy spiritual fellowship with God, with Christ, and fellow believers ( 1 John 1:3, 4). Neglect not assembly.
- What is your attitude toward the world and its values ( 1 John 2:15). Love not the world.
- Are you obedient to the commandments of the scriptures ( 1 John 2:3-5).
- We know him because we keep his commandments.
- Do you have the ability to discern between spiritual truth and error ( 1 John 4:1-6).
- Do you live sinless now since you have professed faith in Christ ( 1 John 3:5, 6).
- Do you fall to temptation ( 1 John 1:5-10).
- Do you believe the basic doctrines of the faith (1 John 5:1). God so love the world. Have you experienced persecution for your Christian faith ( John 15:18-20). They hated Jesus.
- Do you love other believers ( 1 John 3:14). He that loves not knows not God.
- Do you have the inner witness of the Holy Spirit ( 1 John 4:13). Our spirit bears record with his spirit.
- Have you experienced answered prayers ( 1 John 3:22).
- Do you love Jesus and look forward to His coming ( 1 John 3:2, 3).

@Henry,
My comment is that most people who make comments regarding the scriptures do not take the bible seriously, have not learned how to study the scriptures( 2 Timothy 2:15), are not much interested in putting the scriptures into practice in their personal life. America is and will continue to suffer at the hand of God because we have become morally and spiritually bankrupt, because we have become bible ignorant. Mainly because we have turned ourselves over to liberal pastors and liberal churches who preach and teach liberal and ignorant theology. What do you say bout that?

1 John 5:3 shows how wrong the Jehovah Witnesses are when they teach that one does not know whether one is saved until Resurrection day.

@Walt,
You say: “…gentiles were excluded from Moses covenant until the cross … The four gospels should be part of the Old Testament.” Let’s “zoom out” of Ephesians 2, and take a look at the whole Bible from “an eagle’s eye view”. The plan of salvation did not begin with the Jews; it was conceived before the foundation of the world 1 Peter 1:19. First, it was revealed to Adam and Eve after the fall Genesis 3:15. Then Enoch, Noah and Job preached it. Melchizedek, serving as the priest of the Most High preached it. And finally it was promised to Abraham, in whose seed all the nations would be blessed. The plan of salvation has different stages: It began in the Garden of Eden, continued until the Flood, then after the Flood with Noah and his family until Abraham. The Jewish Nation followed. God’s prophets continued to preach until Christ came, and He continued to preach “the Kingdom of God” until His ascension. After that, the Apostles followed including Paul. The plan of salvation included the whole world from the beginning. Though the shortest, the “Jewish period” period was the most important. But The Gospel of the Kingdom of God was the same from the beginning to “the end”, having at the center Jesus Christ, The Savior of the world. This is what Jesus was trying to explain to His people, when they wanted to kill Him: “Search the scriptures (the Old Testament); for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” John 5:39. On the road to Emmaus, “beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself” Luke 24: 27. Conclusion: You can’t separate The Old from The New Testament. It is just one message, one plan of salvation, one Christ.

Perhaps they who feel they have obtained eternal life need another glance at the scriptures to recognize the need for Christ, the door!

@Shailin's John,
Matthew 28:19 speaks clearly of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. However if you read this carefully, you will see that Three have just one name. It says "baptizing them into the name (not names) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit". There are three with one name. This is the Triune God. In the Father we have seen unseen God. In the Son is God revealed, made manifest, and brought nigh; He is the form of God. In the Spirit of God we have the indwelling God. Undoubtedly the Father is God in various places in New Testament speaks of God the Father. The Son is also God Hebrews 1:8. The Spirit is God Acts 5:3,4. Isaiah 9:6 has the term Everlasting Father. Oneness and Trinity doctrine does not belong to Roman Catholics. It is the fundamental truth of the Holy Scriptures. Praise The Lord.

@Eileen,
If you are truly born again then there is no way you can commit unpardonable, because both are mutually exclusive.
“We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not” I John 5:18. The sin that it is about here is the unpardonable. Just as its name says, unpardonable sin cannot be forgiven.
So all sin that can be forgiven is not unpardonable.
Believe me, you never committed that kind of sin.
Because as born again Christians, you and I are fortunate that through the blood of Christ, we have been excluded from committing unpardonable sin.
God bless you.

Jesus the son, has the power to heal and deliver all who seek to be saved. He gives a sinner a chance and He always provides for those who seek Him. As Christian, you must have faith and believe that He is able.

1 John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? So therefore, Jesus is not the Son of man but the Son of God. To be accurate Jesus could be called a son of a woman but not the son of a man. His father was not a man. 22 "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:" 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Because of its placement, verse 27 seems to confuse people. "He" spoken of is not Jesus himself but the one Jesus uses his authority over in judgment; the "he" spoken of is evil. Because the "Son of man" exists there is a need for judgment. The Son of man is evil personified. So Jesus will judge "they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation."

A strong thought here why would God talk to himself, Jesus was not crazy, God is not neither. He did not have a split personality. Jesus said the father is greater than I. Greater means plural more than one great greater. Please open your bible to John 14:28 and help me understand this reasoning that Jesus is his father first born. God and Jesus do not play games, they have no split personality sicknesses. John 5:36 he said the father sent him here. I am thinking Jesus said clearly his father sent him. God can do anything, God does not have to pretend he is Jesus and act like a split personality like a sibling. God and Jesus do not talk to themselves and confuse people. We must understand the devil knows the scriptures inside out. In John 20:17, Jesus was talking to a person there, Jesus does not lie. Jesus saith unto her touch me not for I am not yet ascended to my father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my father, and your father: and to my God, and your God. Does everyone think Jesus was crazy? Jesus told the people in John 14:10, Jesus said the father is in him and he is in the father, but here again Jesus says I speak not of myself: but the father that dwelleth in me. Jesus takes no credit for the things he did but said the father doeth the works, the holy spirit speaks, comes in people but they are not the holy spirit. I cover this message with the blood of Jesus. Amen.

Has anyone given any thought that Jehovah and Jesus may be two different persons? These scriptures are not understandable if they both are just one. ( John 14:28) . . .If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am. ( Mark 13:32) “Concerning that day or the hour nobody knows, neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the Father. ( Luke 22:42) . . .“Father, if you wish, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, let, not my will, but yours take place.” (If they were one how can they have two wills)? ( John 5:30) I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative; just as I hear, I judge; and the judgment that I render is righteous, because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him that sent me. (Two very distinct persons here). In fact, the Bible is peppered with reasoning that Jehovah and Jesus are two very distinct persons). ( Mark 12:28-30) . . .“Which commandment is first of all?”
Verse 29, Jesus answered: “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God is one Jehovah,
Verse 30, and you must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind and with your whole strength.’
Removing Jehovah’s name from His book opened the door for the prophesied apostasy and it worked very well. Jehovah our Creator got lost in the doctrines of men.

Proverbs 5 starts with a great and strong admonition that we should give, so to speak, committed and concentrated attention to the Word of God- and that refers to His Wisdom ( Psalms 37:4 John 15:7). But why such recommendation? It is because God‘s love is always instructional, corrective, inspiring; and as matter of fact encouraging. And in this Proverbs 5;1, Solomon, through the Wisdom of God, places great emphasis on obedience, and that is with regard to, giving attention to God’s Word. You see, the truth; God's Word, is filled with His love, truth, graciousness, peace, mercy and loving kindness. And when we give attention and plenty of time to the dictates of the Word of God, gossips, rumours, backbiting, innuendos and lies that others dish out won’t affect us. John 1:12, You see, he that loves the LORD and daily feeds and honour His Word, is hidden in Christ who is hidden in God. It is a mystery and yet it is real. Therefore, Proverbs 5 contains so much, as it encourages towards righteousness, godliness and holiness; and also warns individual Christians against immorality. When the truth of God Word is honoured, blessings become the norm (1 John 5:4). In other words it becomes a daily occurrence in the lives of the practitioners of the dictates of the Holy Writ, the Word of God. And with that comes genuine prosperity. It therefore connotes that the warnings against immorality are highly important for the true believer, so that the substances and such things that he carries, does not depart and flee into others habitation. And that is because the things of the Holy Spirit are not compatible with the arm of the flesh. Therefore, the reason for such strong warning and admonition, the implication of this, is that we give unwavering attention to the Word of God, and to really reflect on it and not on immorality. The more attention and time we give to meditating on the Word of God, the more intimate we become with the Holy Spirit; and the more the blessing and revelation He will pour upon us. In fact because the Kingdom of God is already inside whoever truly loves and believes God and His Word through the person of Jesus Christ, then investing committed attention to His Word and the practice of it cannot but result in outpouring of the blessings and favours of the Almighty God upon such individuals, ( Matthew 6:10; Luke 17:21, Romans 6:16). God has placed ministry gifts within the Body of Christ that we can learn from- and that is beside personal study of His Word. And therefore, it is wise to take advantage of such favours, and ministrations. And when the right type of attitude is put in place in that direction, that would result in practical righteousness, as we conduct ourselves, humbly and genuinely in line with the Word of God. In Deuteronomy 28:14, it talks about the blessings of obedience- while the other part of it talks about the curse of disobedience. When you read through it you cannot but marvel no matter who you are. And therefore the importance of taking on board God's dictates saturates and fills our being and then puts it in our mouths, as we conduct our lives in righteousness. We also declare it toward sanctification and purification, and that is because we are the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ. However, we must never forget that, all these are only for whosoever trusts and obeys; for you can't be wiser that your belief system. Hence the importance and relevance of genuine and committed obedience towards the dictates of the Holy Writ; for it has to be to you according to THE level of your dependency on God. That means devotion, humility and consecration.

I understand that through/right through this idol (works of man’s hands) world today, God made a way for his word to get to his people, using a strong portion of the great ( Isaiah 53:12). Jesus Christ himself, the eternal godhead and the gift of salvation to all mankind... we give God the father all the glory through God the son, as we honour (respect) the son even as we honour the father ( John 5:23). This is a commandment we get from God the father through God the son... be not afraid, nor frightened! Though many will cause you to fear or stumble in/on the word of God by fear, but be you strong, for your God will save you, maybe even through death! God knows where life will take us to, God is the creator of it! Even God that is not satisfied with the death of his followers, believers, or saints ( Psalms 116:15, Psalms 72:14). Father God and Jesus Christ, help us not to be afraid of the world, protect those that trust, believe, and depend on you! Preserve us in your son Jesus Christ! Thank you father God for your truth and your righteousness, and your words that will save our lives, as the world is against us and deceives us from the truth! Lord God, Jesus that you also for the knowledge of your word and for every body part you cause to move daily for your own sake, and for the sake of your souls being edified by your words and not the words of the world. Father God, Jesus Christ our redeemer and our healer, our truths and our righteousness, our peace and our God and our king, though you desire truth in the inward parts, help us to do your righteousness that leads to your kingdom and glory now and forever by the power of Jesus Christ. Amen.

THUS, THIS IS THE POWER OF GOD YES! ALSO, WE ALSO FIND REPENTANCE, TURN AWAY, LEAVE KINDRED, RELATIVES, TO THE PLACE WHERE I WILL SHOW THEE, OBEDIENCE, LOVE, SACRIFICE, THE WORD OF GOD JESUSCHRIST AS THE ANGEL, AND THE SERVANT OF GOD, THE POWER OF GOD, THE ELOHIM, THE ALMIGHTY GOD, ELSHADDI, THE WORKS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, GOD, ( GENESIS 12:1, GOD SPOKE TO ABRAM, 12:7, GOD APPEARED TO ABRAM, AND SAID, UNTI THY SEED/DESCENDANTS WILL I GIVE.... ( GENESIS 12:1, GOD SPOKE TO US/ME/YOU, AND SAID, GET THEE/YOU OUT OF THY COUNTRY(ALSO, ACTS 7:2-3), FROM THY KINDRED/RELATIVES, AND FROM THY fathers house/or UNDER HIS UMBRELLA....
GOD HAS PLANS FOR YOU! PLANS OF GOOD AND NOT OF EVIL( ISAIAH 29:11). GOD ALSO WANTS TO BE OUR FATHER( MATTHEW 23:9, JOHN 14:7-11, THROUGH JESUSCHRIST, GOD HEALS, PROVIDES, DELIVERS, AND SHOWS HIS LOVE!!
WHEN GOD CAME IN THE NAME OF JESUSCHRIST HE SEPARATED HIMSELF FROM EVERY FALSE god, THAT CLAIM TO BE GOD, BUT IN WORKS, YOU SEE THEY ARE NOT GOD WHO YOU CAN FIND THROUGH JESUSCHRIST, THIS IS THE TRUE GOD AND ETERNAL LIFE(1 JOHN 5:20)!
" GENESIS 13:16, FOR ALL THE LAND WHICH THOU/YOU SEEST, TO THEE WILL I GIVE IT(ALSO, ACTS 7:5), AND TO THY/YOUR SEED/DESCENDANTS FOREVER(ALSO, 2 CHRONICLES 20:7, EXODUS 6:7, VERSE 6, AND I WILL RID YOU OUT THEIR BONDAGE/SLAVERY, VERSE 7, AND I WILL TAKE YOU TO ME FOR A PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE TO YOU A GOD, AND YEYOU SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD! WHICH BRING YOU OUT FROM THE BURDENS/TROUBLES OF THE EGYPTIANS....
THE PROMISES TO OUR forefathers, GOD SENT THEM TO US AND NO MAN TOUCH IT, BUT DECEIVE PEOPLE WITH OTHER COPIES OR VERSIONS!
LIKE THE DEVIL COULD NOT TOUCH JOB(IN CHAPTER 1), SO CAN HE NOT TOUCH THE WORD OF GOD!!! THOSE WHO SAY SO ARE DEMONS, THAT CAN NEVER LIVE THE WORD OF GOD!!
MAY GOD POUR OUT HIS TRUTHS UPON HIS CREATION NOW, THROUGH JESUSCHRIST, AMEN.

This chapter proves that Jesus is not the Father, God Almighty, the one true God. Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Oneness and Romans Catholics Trinity doctrine followers, please take note.

Make of these what you will: I hope you find your way. Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth. John 10:30 I and my Father are one. 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

@Bethany and Bill,
On verse 29, the 3 distinct persons of the godhead ( Acts 17:29, Romans 1:20, Colossians 2:9) do always act as one in unison, they never act separate from the other persons in the godhead. 3 in 1 person (I John 5:7-8).

On verse 24, as a reminder that much of what is being read in the gospels before the cross is prophetic doctrine for the Jews to happen after the rapture of the body of Christ (the church). All can be used for spiritual application in this age of grace (church age). We must compare scripture with scripture to achieve absolute truth ( John 5:39; I Corinthians 2:13). In verse 23 the mountain represents spiritual obstacle that will come your way to try and interfere with getting you off the course that the lord has placed you on. But with the faith of ( Ephesians 3) and allowing Jesus to work through us by humbling ourselves before him and following the rule in James 4:1-3 and Isaiah 40:31, we will overcome any obstacles. And prayers will be answered according to needs and God's plan for our lives. Do not pray for a Rolls Royce when a Chevy will do!

God's wisdom has Fatherly instructions, corrections, admonitions, information and guidance in them. As a matter of divine fact, His Wisdom originates from a heart of love, mercy, and compassion that are beyond human comprehension. Therefore, they are meant to stir you and I, as it were, into the favours and strength of God. And because God is God, and there is none compared to Him, it means that He can't lie. Hence, it is worthwhile and wise to give concentrated attention to His Word. God's Word is His Wisdom and His wisdom are His dictates, and they are meant for the good of whoever believes ( 2 Corinthians 12:9; Hebrews 4:16). Truthfully speaking, the fact that God does not do evil, but that He only does what is good and right, should encourage whoever cares to listen, to plunge into His truths, and also into His wisdom- and that must be through Jesus Christ, and also through the Holy Spirit, the Eternal Spirit ( 1 Corinthians 5:10; 2 Corinthians 3:5). The nuggets of truths, in this Proverbs 4, like others, are godlike precepts and instructions that are incomparable, good and right for the human soul, and for the spirit man, the hidden man of the heart, - and that mainly refers to the recreated human spirit. They are facets of biblical truths that are encouraging and also excellent for the godly type of life that many are craving and thirsting for ( Psalms 1:1-3, Psalms 37:4; Ephesians 1:17). Interestingly, depending perhaps on what background, a Christian comes from, the fact is that for the really genuine and committed type of Christian, a time will or must come that he will come into the knowledge that this God of Israel, the Father of our LORD Jesus Christ deserves to be magnified, glorified and worshipped; for there is none like Him ( John 4:23; 1 Peter 1:25). Thus, the place of wisdom, in the lives of whoever desires and dares to love and honour the Living God ( John 1:12; 3:16). He is, all that matters- and when you and I key into His love and faithfulness, He will do great wonders through us to the glory of His name. In view of these and many other things vis a vis the Word of God, wisdom dictates that we give ourselves committedly unto the LORD, and to His Word ( Matthew 6:33,34). There are challenges upon challenges that confront us, as individuals, and that is why, these truths and instructions, as contained in Proverbs, and throughout the pages of the Holy Writ, demand that we be faithfully committed to them. Remember, we have been accepted, into the family of the Beloved, and that refers to Jesus Christ ( John 17:3; Romans 8: 15; Ephesians 2:18; Galatians 4:16,1; Hebrews 9:14; 1 John 4:3; 5:13). And that is where the grace of God comes on board; His grace is more than sufficient ( 1 Corinthians 15:10; 2 Corinthians 3:5; 2 Corinthians 12:9). God has abilities no matter what task or assignment He has called you and I for. When you commit yourself to God's dictates and function in line with them, Angels will go on assignment for you ( John 15:7; James 4:16.). There are levels and degrees of encounters with God, that we can't get into except through daily obedience and practical submission to the Word of God. In fact there is nothing, as far as I know that can surpass what God has given. He has given Jesus Christ, who is referred to biblically, as the Wisdom of God, - and that is for the salvation and redemption of humanity. And when you belong to Him through the agency of the new birth, you automatically become joint heirs with Him. And with that you are sorted if you know how to walk or function in love, and then take advantage of what He has given through Christ Jesus, the Saviour of the World. The essence of these is that we should give attention to wisdom, embrace it, reflect upon it, and practice it. God's instructions and precepts demands heartfelt obedience ( Psalm 119:6; John 14:15; John 15:120; 1 Corinthians 7:19; 1 Peter 1:25; 1 John 5:3). It says whatever you do in word and deed, do it heartily as unto the LORD. Hence, in the things of the Spirit, and that refers to the Holy Spirit, high level of commitment should be the norm, and that is because God cannot lie, - and His Word is forever infallible ( John 1:1-14; Hebrews 4). Truly, God is forever trustworthy.

You’re continually studying the scriptures, taking great pains to learn all you can about God; because you think mere words are the way to eternal life. But with all the knowledge you’ve gained, you still don’t understand that these same scriptures point to Jesus as the only way of salvation.

I tend to believe that the name of God is Christ. What would you say about that.

Jesus said in these verse! Go ye therefore and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Jesus did not mention NAMES but name (SINGULAR) (Proper Noun) Father, Son and Holy Spirit is NOT A NAME they are ALL TITLES! It is the name of God (JESUS CHRIST) that we should be baptize and not the TITLE for there is ONLY ONE GOD ( Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 John 5:20; Isaiah 43:10) Jehovah is Jehovah Saviour Jesus Christ revealed in the New Testament that is why there is NOT without this the plan will not be fulfilled, ( Gal 4:3-4) Fullness of time has come God sent forth his Son born of a woman ( Isaiah 7:14) God will give you a "SIGN" ( Isaiah 9:6) This boy will be given a name Emmanuel ( Matthew 1:20-23) That it is the Angel Gabriel who gave the name of this child and his name is Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins. That is why there is power in his name! Jesus will SET YOU FREE ( John 8:32) for Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the father except through ME (Jesus). Because BAPTISM refers to REMISSION OF SINS, without baptism our SINS are not forgiven and our soul is destined to hell, that is why He said in Romans 6:23: ‘’For the wages of Sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ’’. This is God's Plan of salvation. The offering of Bulls and animals is not good in the sight of God that is why He sent his Son born of a woman to redeem those who are under the law ( Galatians 4:3-4). And God is Spirit ( John 4:24), He came into world as a sinful flesh to die on the cross for our sins. That is why that in the name of Jesus there is Remission of Sins ( Acts 2:38); In the name of Jesus there is salvation ( Acts 4:12); in the name of Jesus there is healing. In other words without this process our soul will not be saved. Our faith must have WORKS ( James 2:24) God bless you all.

Sure, having the Spirit of God would help you to believe this miracle. Not having the Spirit of God means youll never believe!
