" 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?

Not everyone can perceive the difference between the words of God and the words of men.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: - John 10:27

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

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

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

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it. - Isaiah 55:10-11

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. – Romans 8:1-9

Maranatha, Jesus!!!
