As we see every day in this forum there was not a word uttered by Christ that has not been met with a great number of diverse interpretations...

I agree!

So NOW is the chance to show EXACTLY what ROME thinks these very words of JESUS mean as well as the verification of them by John:

 

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

---

1 John 3:21-24

Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

"I agree!"

Now tell me what "believe" means. I wonder if we agree on that too.

Peace be with you
