John 3:36, Paul proven wrong YET AGAIN.

 



Have you ever looked closely at John the Baptist's words in John 3:36?  When you do you will find that Paul's gospel is absolute manure that will send you to hell if you don't repent. 


If you read John 3:36 in the KJV, you won't see what John actually said:


"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life; and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."  


You can see the word "believeth" is used twice, but what you might not know is that "believeth" in each of the two cases is taken from two different greek words. 


In the first instance "believeth" is derived from the greek word "pisteuo" and in the second from another greek word, "apeitheo".  


As you can imagine, these two greek words have some overlap, but these two words can imply different nuances and meanings.  


Pisteuo means to put faith in, to believe in, to commit to, to entrust to or to put trust in.  


Apeitheo means to disbelieve (willfully and perversely), to not believe, to be disobedient to, to obey not.


The connotation of disobedience in the second use of "believeth" is ignored by the KJV, but the Geneva Bible does not do this.  Here's its translation:


"He that believeth in the Son, hath everlasting life, and he that OBEYETH NOT the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him."


We can see how the KJV applies "believeth not" to  "apeitheo" while the Geneva uses the words, "obeyeth not."  One could easily argue that the Geneva's use of "obeyeth not" is more accurate to the original greek word than "believeth not" in this application. 


Reading the Geneva Bible's translation we can see obedience emphasized by John the Baptist once again, rather than the mere idea of only believing on Him as Messiah (as the Paulinite false gospel would conclude).  


What's at the crux of the real gospel is that believing in and upon Jesus as our Messiah is actually shown through our obedience.


Jesus clearly states in John 14:15, "If ye love me, keep my commandments," and further emphasizes this in verse 21, "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."


John the Baptist and Jesus' own words throw the entire Pauline false gospel of "faith without works" out into the trash heap where it belongs. 


John nor Jesus never taught us, as Paul did, to not keep the commandments/His Word (He is the Word), and outside of Acts and Paul's epistles, neither did anyone else.  


Also, Jesus said He was bringing two folds (Jew and Gentile) into one who would be led by One Shepherd (John 10:16).  There is no two sets of rules for each fold.  Just as the Torah itself proclaims, there is one law for "the home born and one for the stranger" who attaches himself to Israel (Exodus 12:49).  We are all (born Jew or not) expected to keep the same commandments.  This is why Jesus told the disciples to go to "...all nations... teaching them to observe whatsoever I have (past tense) commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20).  There was not supposed to be a new and different gospel that some clown who was a "pharisee" (a group of whom Jesus had railed against his entire ministry and for which Paul claimed to be a part of to the bitter end) would come along, usurp the apostles and change the gospel entirely, based on a phony story of his own conversion.  What a joke.


This is a salvation issue.  Jesus is literally telling you that those who do not obey the Son, that is Jesus, as the Word of God, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.  If you believe Paul and that there are no works to keep, no commandments to follow (except the ones he approves and drops on you, mostly nebulous laws related to fleshly impulses with no care whatsoever for the first four commandments which apply to how we love the Father), then you will find yourself where he is (if he didn't repent), splashing around in molten fire burning for eternity.


These Paulinites and evangelicals that preach his false gospel have the wrath of God abiding on them, as they discourage any need for repentance or lining up one's life with God's Word, the law, which IS JESUS.  Jesus IS THE LAW.  As applies to the law, He delivered us from the carnal ordinances and the works of the Levitical priesthood (as we are now the kings and priests of our own bodily temples), but His High Holy Standard/Moral Law is still in place.  See John 14-16, 1 John and Revelation for more on that.

Jesus Instills Faith/Trust in the Father as Provider; Paul Instills Fear

One thing you can be sure about Paul's writings: you can cherry pick from them all sorts of ideas on the same overarching subject and come up with multiple, even contradicting, viewpoints. For example, when it comes to the subject of money and provision, Paul wrote to Timothy, “For the love of money is the root of all evil:” (Is the love of money, or pride, the root of evil?  Satan's first sin was pride, which led to greed, but I digress.) In the midst of Paul's admonition, he says we ought to be content with our circumstances  and not be concerned with becoming rich, which can lead to a snared life and perdition. This passage, in my view, contains many truths that coincide with what our attitude should be toward money and provision.  Being content and grateful in any circumstance, not worrying for tomorrow, trusting the Father for today as Jesus taught in Matthew 6, is by all means the best place to be spiritually and psychologically when it comes to walking through this...

Seven Reasons Acts is a Provable Hoax

Image
To begin I would like to assert that in bringing up the errors in Acts, the Pauline epistles and the pdeudepgraphical writings attributed to Peter (1 and 2 Peter), this blog and YouTube channel in no ways comes against the teachings of Jesus Christ and His everlasting Gospel.  In fact, this ministry promotes what Jesus said and did as the only way to everlasting life.  What He is reported to have taught and done in the Gospels of Matthew and John as well as in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, is what I believe we can all base the entirety of our belief systems upon and is the only Gospel on which we can be assured of salvation.  In fact that's what Jesus taught when He said His Words or His sayings are the rock upon which we build.  Jesus also taught of Himself constantly from the Torah and the Prophets.  Contrarily, in Acts 15 when the "apostles" are laying out their edict regarding circumcision and what commands the Gentiles should observe, their de...

Are the Lunar Sabbatarian's "Pause & Reset Days" Biblical?

Image
Join Doug this evening at 7:15pm EST (Wed, Jan 22, 2025) https://youtube.com/live/6G-W8bOnDwg?feature=share on the JesusNotPaul/Acts channel for a podcast discussion surrounding the recent phenomena of the rise of those who say the Sabbath must be honored according to the moon phases, rather than every seventh day consecutively.  This is because the lunar calendar month is 29.5 days in length, while four seven day weeks only comprise 28.  This means the extra 1.5 days per month have to go somewhere, so to keep with the lunar phases one or two spacer, "pause & reset" days are added which means the first week to start a new month, the sabbath could occur on the eighth or ninth day, ultimately breaking the Father's order of every seventh day of each week.  No where in the scriptures is it ever implied there would literally be monthly skip days inserted to stay on a lunar calendar.  The conjecture and projection it takes for lunar sabbatarians to convince themselves...
