More drivel. As always, never, ever, read something in it's entirety. Always try to take a single verse here and there and if at all possible don't even acknowledge there is a context. That's standard Protestant "hide from the Truth" practice and has been ever since Luther threw out part of the Bible he didn't have any way around with his lame excuse for his own lack of desire to live a Christian life.
I notice you ignore the fact that verse 21 clearly states "come to the light that their works be made manifest". That's the part you most want to avoid.
Yawn.
Have another go at bobing and weaving if you like, but you absolutely CANNOT take that entire passage together and come to the conclusion you're selling to the gullible and ignorant.
have a nice day
Rash, Phil started a prophecy thread. Why you came here to vent only you know. However, as you post here your RCC caucus is woefully taking it on the chin in their own threads.
That's the only verse you want to focus on to insert your own private interpretation...You ignore the verse where there is no judgment for the believer...You ignore the verse that says as we are reproved with the truth, we will present good works AFTER our belief and reproval...
Talk about blah, blah, blah...
Your attempt at trying to privately interpret those verses to mean something they don't mean will not take away the impact of verse John 3:16 for the person who humbly seeks Jesus...
