0 John : Good Stuff

That they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 17:24

Trivia: What did Jesus say about everyone who came before him?

John : Good Stuff (5)

  1. Jesus tells those who'd like to stone to death an adulteress that whoever among them that is without sin should "cast the first stone." Good advice -- but it directly contradicts the teachings of the Old Testament (Lev 20:20). If that wasn't a good law then why did God make it? Has he since changed his mind? Shouldn't it then be removed (along with most of the OT) from the bible? 8:7
  2. "The truth shall make you free." 8:32
  3. "Love one another." 13:34
  4. "This is my commandment, That ye love one another." If this is what it takes to be a Christian, then count me in. Unfortunately, Christians often take Jesus' commandment to mean that Christians should love other, like-minded Christians, and to hell with everybody else. 15:12, 17
  5. Pilate asked Jesus a very good question: "What is truth?" 18:38
