it is not 'either or'. It is 'both and' You need to read Scripture in totality. You cannot just pick out those verses that support your man-made beliefs.
John 11:26(KJV)
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Seems, pretty clear five.
I asked you if Jesus was lying or mistaken, and you say "not either or, but both and." Are you hearing yourself? Maybe you mean something else, and are not being clear.
I do read in totality, and to label John 11:26 part of a "manmade belief system" is to minimize and denigrate the very clear statement Jesus made. Again:
"And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
Do you believe Him?
You mean like the RCC does with Peter as the rock?
Deut. 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
2 Sam. 22:2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
Psalm 18:31, "And who is a rock, except our God."
Isaiah 44:8, "Is there any God besides Me, or is there any other Rock? I know of none."
But the RCC says they know that it’s not God but Peter that is the rock. Sorry Catholics, but you are following a false religion.
This has been the position of the Catholic religion since day one...I have yet to see a Catholic who can discuss the scriptures outside of the published talking points of the handful of scriptures put out by your religion...
