    John 3:16 For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son,+ so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.

    Most people think that Christ died for everyone. The scripture states only those who exercises faith will gave salvation.

    Husbands love your wife. Oral sex is not true love. Sex in the marriage is sin because it requires pleasure and satisfaction and sometimes it's a one way road. Lastly, if you're not making children to procreate the world, love becomes sexual immorality. This is why throughout the Scriptures it's written Adultery, fornication, sexual immorality, effeminate and the source. To be an eunuch is a preference to have a clean conscience and a pure heart/soul.

    the word hate. (hate your parents?)

    Luk 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother,

    and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also,

    he cannot be my disciple.

    this would break the 10 commandments.

    something is clearly wrong.

    the word is miseo (it means to love less)

    love is endless.

    our love for our parents differs than our love for a mate.

    but you can have both certainly. (you must)

    ALMIGHTY GOD is our first parent.

    HE is our parents "parent" as well.

    we are all HIS children.

    we all belong to HIM.

    Luk 14:26 If any G1536 man come G2064 to G4314 me, G3165

    and G2532 ☛ hate G3404 ☚ not G3756 his G1438 father, G3962

    and G2532 mother, G3384 and G2532 wife, G1135

    and G2532 children, G5043 and G2532 brethren, G80 and G2532 sisters, G79

    yea, G2089 and G1161 his own G1438 life G5590 also, G2532

    he cannot G3756 G1410 be G1511 my G3450 disciple. G3101

    ☛ hate G3404 ☚

    3404. miseo mis-eh'-o from a primary misos (hatred);

    to detest (especially to persecute); by extension, to love less:--hate(-ful).

    to love less is accurate...

    simple fix really...

    - but some love this ((seemingly)) contradiction.

    John 10 verse 30

    I and the Father are one.

  • 3 years ago

    Mistranslation of Matt 1:25 produces a HUGE distortion of the meaning: but [he] knew her not until she had given birth to a son.

    The keyword is "until", which is not used in Greek in the same way it's used in English.

    The Greek word means "up to this point", and does NOT suggest a change after that

    For example, we can say, "He was estranged from his brother and didn't talk to him till he died."

    He obviously didn't talk to him *after* he died.

    John 1:1 Many use this to prove the trinity even though it only talks about two people - Jesus and God. Many claim that this proves Jesus is God and yet in vs. 18 of the same chapter, Jesus says: "no one has seen God at any time. Of course many have seen Jesus so Jesus cannot BE God

    John 14:13-14 where Jesus tells his disciples "I will do whatever you ask in my name... You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it."

    Lot's of people seem to think this means that absolutely anything they ask for in the name of Jesus will be granted. What they fail to realise is that only requests that are in harmony with God's will shall be granted.

      Judge not, that ye be not judged.

    Always used as an excuse for sin.
