JOHN 20:23 IS NOT FOR THE CHURCH

[Tambora]

It's right there in the verse itself (if you don't just read the first half in isolation).

It's referring to God not going back on His promises to Israel even though they had been extremely disobedient.

Mal 3:6 KJV For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

The "therefore" means because or on account of.
Because GOD does not change.
On account of GOD does not change.
GOD's character (His innate being) won't change, and therefore His oaths can always be counted on.

So I'm not seeing the problem with what BR believes ---- that GOD does not change.
Ya'll seem to be a little overcritical of him.

 

[Tambora]

Would you be so kind as to explain this one also?

Hebrews 13:8 King James Version (KJV)
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

That's a good one too.
There are several.
Here's another.

James 1 KJV
(17) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

 

[Tambora]

Be good to each other.
It's a good study and worth kicking around between brothers and sisters.

 

[Right Divider]

The "therefore" means because or on account of.
Because GOD does not change.
On account of GOD does not change.
GOD's character (His innate being) won't change, and therefore His oaths can always be counted on.

That is exactly what I said.

So I'm not seeing the problem with what BR believes ---- that GOD does not change.
Ya'll seem to be a little overcritical of him.

How did this thread get derailed?

Who did Paul follow?

1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
