John Chapter 5 Discussion Page 14

i believe everything that God has done in John all the miracles the He did and delivering people and once it is dine by Him it can be done by us even to do what he has never dne

This is my comment on JOHN 5:37-38 saying, "And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not". THEREFORE, if you will not believe what JESUS said, "baptizing them in the name of the FATHER and of the SON and of the HOLY GHOST" ( Matthew 28:19). THEN, "you have not God's word abiding in you". So for you to have God's word abiding in you, you MUST be baptized in the name of the FATHER and of the SON and of the HOLY GHOST and "not" in the name of the SON "alone". We have to follow Our Lord Jesus Christ commandment saying, "OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU" ( Matthew 28:20). He did not say, PICKUP ONLY ONE OR TWO from what I commanded you.

Re:These are my comments to Rosalinasaysonkotapay's John Chapter 5 comment on 9/19/2013, 2:57am... (Number 1): Matthew 18? The angel said,“You are to give Him the name JESUS, because He will save His people from their sins.” Acts 4:12 says,“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is NO OTHER NAME under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 2:21 says, “Everyone who calls on the NAME of the Lord will be saved.” (Number 2): 1 Corinthians 3:15, If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. Jesus My Savior

To: Mark Hudson: ...to the FIFTH argument regarding God's ways are not our ways... the EXACT and CORRECT statement which was written is this: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD" ( Isaiah 55:8)... meaning "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" ( Isaiah 55:9)... Regarding "MERCY": our God will have MERCY if the WICKED and UNRIGHTEOUS shall RETURN UNTO THE LORD and the way to do that is for the WICKED to FORSAKE HIS WAYS and for the UNRIGHTEOUS MAN TO FORSAKE HIS THOUGHTS ( Isaiah 55:7).

To: Mark Hudson: ...to the FOURTH argument regarding the statement of JESUS, he who believes in ME though he die will live, and shall never die... the EXACT and CORRECT statement that was written is this, "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he "WERE DEAD", yet "SHALL HE LIVE": And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die" ( John 11:25-26)... meaning, "For if ye live "AFTER THE FLESH", ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do "MORTIFY THE DEEDS" of the body, ye shall live ( Romans 8:13)... and you shall NOT FULFIL THE LUST of the flesh ( Galatians 5:16)... THEREFORE ...you WERE DEAD because you LIVED AFTER THE FLESH and then when you believed Jesus Christ that's the time when you SHALL NEVER DIE... because from then on you do not walk after the flesh anymore but after the Spirit... and that is when you do mortify the deeds of the body... and to MORTIFY the deeds of the body is to MORTIFY our members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness,inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also WALKED SOME TIME, when ye LIVED IN THEM ( Colossians 3:5).

To: Mark Hudson: ...to the SECOND argument regarding to the missing the flames of hell... ...whosoever was "not found written in the book of life" was cast into the lake of fire ( Revelation 20:15) any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie ( Revelation 21:27) the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars ( Revelation 21:8) and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the "books", according to their "works" ( Revelation 20:12)... ...and this includes THEM WHO "DRAW BACK" UNTO PERDITION (Hebrew 10:36-39) who are called "LOST" ( John 17:12) For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them like the dog that turned to his own vomit again (2-Peter 2:21-22) whereunto they desire again to be in bondage ( Galatians 4:9)...THEREFORE...we must NOT BELIEVE the LIARS telling us that we shall not be judged when we TURNED BACK AND WERE LOST after we received the remission of our sins by the grace of God through the blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ...

To: Mark Hudson: ...to the FIRST argument it is NOT true that some will be saved BY His Name "alone" (JESUS)... ...Jesus Christ himself said that he who believed the gospel and is baptised shall be SAVED ( Mark 16:15-16) and it is the baptism in the NAME of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost ( Matthew 28:19)... ...therefore to say that we shall be saved by the name (JESUS) "alone" is contrary to what was written in the bible.

(This is my response to Mark Hudson's comment dated 9/15/2013 at 3:55pm on John Chapter 5):

The argument you mentioned were... FIRST: some will be saved BY His Name alone (JESUS)... SECOND: those missing the flames of hell... THIRD: Paul wanting to do good, but then he does what he does not want... FOURTH: Jesus statement, he who believes in ME though he die will live, and shall never die... FIFTH: God's ways are not our ways... SIXTH: God's statement, I will have compassion in whom I have compassion on.

Let me answer them one by one.

Re: In regard to rosalina's and Albert Sholam's comment of John ch: 5. If I may offer I think both are correct. It is said in the Bible but not exactly sure where, that some will be saved by His Name alone (Jesus), and another, those missing the flames of hell just barely, if we see the many intricacies in us, how much more is there in God? Remember, His Grace, and what He Has established will succeed, and He Knows those who are His... My own opinion is that we all still sin, as Paul says in Romans, wanting to do good, but then he does what he does not want, it's realizing the sin, as Paul states, how wretched am I. I think it's a matter of as quickly as possible, seeing, confessing, and returning to the table in conversing and discerning in Him by communication in order that we may remain in Christ. Jesus stated, he who believes in Me though he die will live, and he that (lives), and believes in Me shall never die, John 11: 25-26, I suggest to you if God is Love, and His Ways are not our ways, then it really is His Grace, As God states, I Will have compassion in whom I have compassion on, we can't comprehend that Love, It's Mercy... Take it, recieve it, live it, and as you do, Glorify His Name...

(This is my response to Albert Mould-Shalom's comment dated 8/12/2013 at 3:47am on John Chapter 5 about verse 25):

I beg to disagree of what you said that, "No matter how deep in SIN one may be; no matter what one may have DONE, whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved". Because the TRUTH is Our Lord Jesus Christ himself shall DENY him as what was written in Matthew 7:21-23, "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that WORK INIQUITY". Understand what was written in 2Peter 2:20-22, "For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire".

I love john chapter 5, God has done so much for us. We need to start giving back to him. We as saint of God do not have to be bound. We just need to give God the praise and stop making excuses.

I sincerely like to study along with you because you do explain and you are real when teaching. I sincerely enjoy your teaching. Thank the Lord Jesus Christ for your wife who has helped you set all this us for anyone who wants to hear. I just want to understand more; although I go to church and hear the word I still enjoy listening to someone who patiently goes through verse by verse and explains.

In the name of means by the authority of. A good example would be: Stop in the name of the law. Jesus is saying that he comes by the authority of his Father and is not received by the Jews. Another will come in his own name and the Jews will receive him. I believe that Jesus is talking about the Antichrist that is still yet to com

No matter how deep in sin one may be; no matter what one may have done; no matter the place; no matter the time; no matter the 'who' or the 'whatever-it-may-be', whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved. And so even now He says "Behold I stand at the door (of your life and knock)". Will you hear and let him in? The choice is purely yours now.

My understanding is taking from vs. 5-7 many today were bound by so many yoke looking for who will come to their help, like the man on the pool. but could not yet men are around him. Today there are many Christians filled all the places but cannot preach the word which represent the pool and when it is done one will help his fellow to come out trouble

Pls I love reading the bible can we provide me one bible dictionary for better understanding

Thanks God bless you all for these wonderful provision.

Mark,
John 5:31 and John 8:18 do not contradict each other. In 5:31, Jesus is saying that, according to Jewish law, a single witness (in this case, Himself) is insufficient to establish truth (see Numbers 35:30, and especially Deuteronomy 19:15; also 2 Corinthians 13:1). In 8:18, He states that not only He, but the Father also, bears witness of Him. Thus, his witness (which agrees with that of the Father) is TRUE.

Nabeel

Thank you so much, that explains so much better, I always believed Jesus was a true messenger of God Almighty, He always testified of the Father that sent him not himself,

To see John 5,30 "I can of mine own self do nothing"
As NOT a quality of God, For we do know God can do all things of his own self, his own power.

It also explains that Jesus was NOT GOD and that he could of himself do nothing.

The authority that Jesus has was given unto him by his Father, God.

There is a hierarchy of authority

1Corinth 11, 3
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Thanks again

John (5:30) "I can of mine own self do nothing"
This is not a Quality of God. Jesus Christ (PBUH) was a True Messenger of God almighty.

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.

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.

@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?

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.

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."

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.

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.
