Originally posted by sonshipWell, you've made it clear that you don't take the text I quoted from John 8 "at face value" - your claim to the contrary notwithstanding.
Relating [b]John 8 to Revelation and [/b]Romans[/b] is exactly appropriate.
The "house" that Jesus says He abides in forever is the same house or temple that closes the pages of the Bible.
And the house is built with transformed children of God.
And transformed sons of God relates exactly to Romans.
[quote] "And ...[text shortened]... me up with another expression - "ThinkofOne while he walked away from 80% of the New Testament."
You've also made it clear that you don't really care what Jesus actually said or didn't say. Instead you attempt to make it fit a theology based on the words other than what Jesus said in John 8.
Any chance that you'll actually address the following?
This is how you take the text from John 8 at face value:
"34Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin."
--Those who commit sin are slaves.
" 31 ...If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
--Those who are true disciples of Jesus are freed from the slavery of committing sin and are no longer slaves.
"36So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. "
--Jesus reemphasizes that his true disciples are indeed made free from committing sin.
" 35The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.
51Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death.”
--Those who continue to commit sin will not have eternal life. Those who no longer commit sin will have eternal life.
"He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
