Oran, this is not a Bible study group. Please do not post a laundry list of Bible verses thinking you can make your point that way.

Quoting Jesus from the book of John simply means you really don’t have a deep enough knowledge of the Bible to realize that the author of that gospel was not the Apostle John. Whatever you quote from it is suspect AT BEST. IOW, it has zero authority. Which is the point of a lot of my articles.

You cannot trust the Bible, it is not the Word of God since many of its authors are a lie.
