My replies are more for the Lurkers than for you, kosta50. You just provide the opportunity for me to convey the words of God.

God: "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." -- John 6:63

Yes, the words of God. When you ascribe John 6:63 to the Apostle John and not God, it shows the impassable divide between us.

Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word. – John 8:43

And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. – Revelation 19:13

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. – John 1:1-4

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. – Matthew 22:29

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. - Matthew 4:4

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. - I Corinthians 2:14

Again you demand physical proofs of the Spirit. Christ rarely honors such demands as He did for doubting Thomas. But ask Him for the proofs, not me.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent...

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. – I Corinthians 1:19-25

To God be the glory!

" Yes, the words of God. When you ascribe John 6:63 to the Apostle John and not God, it shows the impassable divide between us." Do you really believe that John 6:63 are the actual words of God? What a bizarre idea! I take it your bible has a different name for John's Gospel than mine. Mine calls it:

"ΤΟ ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΝΗΝ ΑΓΙΟΝ ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΟΝ"

"According to John", not "According to God and transcribed by John." That, AG, would be a dangerously heretical reading of the title of that Gospel. It would be a Mohammedan, and thus extra-heretical, way to read it. I know you are not a Mohammedan and thus need to ask you why you think +John was the amanuensis of Almighty God. The implications of such a role for +John and the other Gospel writers are rather extraordinary. Does your bible entitle +John's Gospel different than mine?

Oh, yes, the God's mouthpiece in flesh.

I don't know what Bible you use, but all the bibles I have seen say Accoding to John, not Accodring to God. Now you are re-writing the Bible too?

Let me see: so far we have a self-appointed mouthpiece of God, and now changing the Bible, by being "inspired," I presume?

Again you demand physical proofs of the Spirit

I am simply responding to your matter-of-fact claims. If you can't back up your claims, keep them to yourself, or simply state them as your belief and not a fact.
