The world in Jn3:16 does not refer to everyone but to both Jews and Gentiles. Jn3:16 must be understood in the context of the whole of Johns gospel. Jn Ch 10 speaks of the sheep the Father gave to Jesus. For these sheep Jesus died. Jn 10 shows Jn3:16 does not refer to everyone. Jn 17:2 Jesus...

"the discriminating saving love of God" is another way of saying God's election of some for salvation in Christ. God sovereignly chose some and not others; God discriminates between who he saves and who he does not save (Rom 9:1)

Amen to those scriptures! I know that I love Jesus wholeheartedly. I seek to do daily what God is working in me to will and to do. Phil 2:12-13.

You have made up your mind they are doctrines of demons. I won't confuse you with the facts. If the doctrines are God's truth then you are saying Jesus and the apostles were taken captive by the Devil to do his will!

NO! to 'Is Obedience a condition of salvation'

100% agree. That is exactly what Matthew, Mark, Luke and John did in their gospels. They recorded the claims of Jesus to be the Christ, the Son of God in his own words and deeds. Jesus should be the centre and circumference of witnessing to non-believers

Who are the sheep? The sheep are those the Father gave to the Son (Jn10:29). The sheep hear Jesus call; the sheep follow Jesus. Jesus gives his sheep eternal life; the sheep shall never perish; the sheep are secure in the Father's hand (Jn10:25-30) Jesus, the Good Shepherd, lay down his life...

NO !

Your spot on about the big difference we read the a Bible. I place authority in what the Bible says not what the church says.

Yes and rightly so. Jude says, 'I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints (Jude 3) Paul says''test everything...'(1Thess5:21) The Pope declares that whoever disagrees with their edicts is anathema(?)

"Will you invite Christ into your life?" I have witnessed Christians asking complete strangers this question. They maybe totally clueless about Christ. It is a misguided approach to evangelism. It puts the cart before the horse. Jesus asked his disciples ,'Who do you say I am"? (Mt16:15) Peter...

God's truth according to scripture utterly condemns Roman Catholicism's Popery. Statiscs are totally irrelevant. The fact that billions are caught up in Roman Catholic Popery only means that it is a popular widespread deception. Regardless of how many church fathers or theologians past, present...

yourpoint? This name you chose for yourself suggests that your intent is to question what anyone says. I think you are not interested in scripture. You get your fun by interrogating what people say. You can keep your hypothetical questions to yourself. I won't be playing your silly game anymore...

No

The Pope is not God on earth in truth, but he is only considered so by those gullible and ignorant enough to be deceived by his heinous lie. I totally reject Roman Catholicism. I think their ceremonies with all their trappings would be totally rejected by Jesus!
