John Chapter 14 Discussion Page 22

It really can not be any clearer, Jesus is the only way to Father God, you must accept Christ Jesus as your Lord and Saviour to have life (spiritual life) and this is a Spiritual Truth.
Without Christ as our Lord and Saviour we are subject to Satan and death (spiritual death)

@Larry...read 1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

I believe this is telling us that Jesus is our intercessor. He bridges the gap between us and the Father!

I wonder if Jesus meant precisely what He said in verse 6? Does He mean that quite literally a person comes to the father only by Him, or to put it another way, when a person travels via Jesus that person comes into the presence of the father? Like, as in heaven? Is this what it says? If not, why not?

Not only did jesus say I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh to the father but by me. this lines up with John 10:9 where jesus says Im the door by me if any man enter he shell be saved and go in and out and find pasture.Also John 6:44, Mark 16:16,and Acts 2:38 So through his resurrection [JESUS] We live through baptism in the name of jesus christ we die to sin. Rom 6:6 Rom 14:7 Gal 2:20 And 2Cor 5:15 never forget Eph 5:2 therefor as 2Cor 2:14,15.

That is an action verse stating that God will not let anyone take what he said in vain; and he would do what he said will do.

The level of love you have for God will determine the level at which he responds your prayers. Be obedient to the word!

Verse 6, if Jesus did not mean that, he would not have said it plainly and directly as so. It would then be phrased as "no one comes unto the Father except through Jesus." As the written word was not about what Jesus, written word was not what is meant, and is 'adding to' the message what is not there. It is about Christ within "me" to all who affirm the message of John 14:6. It is self evident logic. You read the word(s) of doctrine, you desire to have relationship with Christ, and you go within. Thus, you who are reading this can also say, and it is equally true, that Christ is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes unto the Father except through Me. Nothing added or changed. Truth revealed.

Obedience is the expression of true love. When you get married, you make a covenant with your spouse based on love. If you fail to keep that covenant, then you show that you did not love your spouse. Jesus is the Groom, and the Church is the bride. Jesus has made His covenant with the Church based on love by shedding His blood on the cross for our sins. He said a new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another as I have loved you. The commandments of God is completed by loving God with all thy heart, soul, mind, and strength. The second is to love thy neighbor as thyself. When we love others, we are keeping His commandments.

In the Fall of 1973, it was November, I think, I met some people in whom was the Spirit of the Living God. This was evidenced at first in that I could feel Him in their presence. God is Love. They gave thanks with joy at my dinner table and prayed in the Spirit. They told me, God inhabits praise. It's in the Book, read it for yourself! Some time after they had left, I was sitting on my bed reading in the gospel of John, chapter 14, wonderful things like, "I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever..." When I got down to the 17th verse, "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." Then I realized this is what the whole world needed to solve all its problems, if only they could see... and I realized this is what I had been seeking my whole life, and I thanked God and began to praise Him with my whole heart, and the Spirit of Truth fell on me as He must have from the beginning... It was wonderfully bright and felt like living water rushing through and through and I praised Him with other tongues I knew not. Neither did I suspect that this would happen to me in advance, but I had just met Jesus "who will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire!" Later, on January 25, 1974, I was baptized in His name for the remission of my sins, meaning not only was I forgiven, but also that He had paid for it with His own blood. This was among my "first works" of faith after that I had received faith through the free grace of His Love. He also had said, "when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth"... "...he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."!!!

@Ramesha,
There is no evidence that there is any life on other galaxies. Jesus Christ did not come to save angels, he came to same men. And men are only found on earth and nowhere else. Of course his salvation shall also profit God’s angels, in that all angels of darkness that currently fight them shall be wiped away. But Jesus Christ only came to rescue man.
Thinking it should be unfair that all should be saved by him (alone) means we are fairer than God, Acts 4:12. Because that is of God.
God bless you.

How can it be possible that in the whole universe, composed of what we now know to be billions of galaxies, which are certainly inhabited by who knows how many trillion of creatures, there was only one being through which God's grace could come??? What about those poor fellas born in galaxies so far away from earth as to be impossible for them to even have heard the name of Jesus? How could they be saved? The God I love could never be so unfair toward any of His creatures! Paramhansa Yogananda's interpretation above is the one that makes the most sense to me, and makes me think of God with love, rather than with fear.

IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, YOU "HAVE" TO GO THROUGH CHRIST.

It strengthens my faith when I am down.

What stands out in John 14:1, is the part about ye believe in God, believe also in me. In the beginning in the book of John Jesus was trying to reveal who He was. They believed that He was the Christ that was sent from God. But He wanted the people along with the disciples to know that He was God. Verse 1 is overlooked when it comes to that part. It was not until after His resurrection that they knew and believed that not only was He the Christ but, that He was also God.

God give us peace not world’s peace, so don't let your heart be troubled.

I believe these were words that Jesus Christ spoke. He said We need to put our Faith in HIM. The Book of Hebrews explains the meaning of Faith. It is the substance of thing hoped and the evidence of things not seen. Jesus taught us how we need to live, by faith, not by sight. Walking on water doesn't make sense, but Jesus did it and one of his apostles also got out of the boat he was in and walked a little, until he focused on waves in the water instead of focusing on the power of God working in His son Jesus Christ. If we are to do God’s work, we need to have faith in Jesus Christ (His son) who came to earth to teach us how we should live. If have any hope of a life and a more abundant one, we need to search throughout the Bible and learn what God has to teach us. The Bible says if we have faith in Jesus Christ and believe speaking with our mouths, He is the son of God. He was crucified and rose again and ascended to heaven paying the price for our sins; even though we die in the physical, we have eternal life in heaven. So let us put our faith in God and His son Jesus Christ. Let our work be great also...

The devil, the god of wordly things, can not dare look nor to talk of accusing Christ, because He is pure. No stain of sin.

He was a great Disciple and has gave testimony as Jesus told them. He has inspired manny Christian believers including my self. I read several of his verses to my wife while she was in a comma and she used to respond by touching my hand.

Those of the world cannot receive the truth, because they do not know him or acknowledge him. but as a child of God, you will know the truth if you receive him and he will dwell in you spiritually. For your body is the temple for the holy ghost.

Just knowing that no matter what you are going through, Jesus said he will send you a comforter… That is good news, but I learn a lot in that message.

IS JESUS SAYING HE IS GOING TO PREPARE A PLACE OTHER THAN HIS FATHER HOUSE...I OFTEN WONDER WHY IT IS SAID GOD AND JESUS ARE THE SAME YET JESUS IS ALWAYS SAYING HIS FATHER IS GREATER THAN HIM...(VERSE 7,10...THE TRUTH IS IN THE WORD...TO CHANGE THE WORD IS TO CHANGE THE TRUTH...)

How can it be any plainer than the King James Version has said. You can not have any other views of this verse; because there is no other.
This is very simple to do. Believe in Jesus Christ as the son of God. There is no other son's of God, except Jesus. ANY OTHER VIEW IS A LIE, AND ALL OTHERS WILL MAKE YOU MISS HEAVEN AND THE PROMISE OF GOD.

Praise God for sending His son so all might be saved

D&C 130

1 When the Savior shall appear we shall see him as he is. We shall see that he is a man like ourselves.

2 And that same sociality which exists among us here will exist among us there, only it will be coupled with eternal glory, which glory we do not now enjoy.

3 John 14:23—The appearing of the Father and the Son, in that verse, is a personal appearance; and the idea that the Father and the Son dwell in a man’s heart is an old sectarian notion, and is false.

Here's the Paramahansa Yogananda's interpretation of the quotes of Jesus where Jesus says, "I am the way, truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, but through me," John 14:6. Theologians have misinterpreted Christ's words in such passages as, 'I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the Father but by me.' Jesus meant, never that He was the sole son of God, but that no man can attain to the unqualified Absolute, the transcendent Father beyond creation, until he has first manifested the 'Son' or activated Christ Consciousness within creation. Jesus, who had achieved entire oneness with that Christ Consciousness, identified himself with it in as much as his own ego had long since been dissolved." ( Autobiography of a Yogi , p. 198, footnote; emphasis in the original)

I am so glad that he really wants us to know who he really is. So many r wrapped up in this trinitarian God the fat/son/hg theory but yet nowhere do u find this presented in scripture. What we do find is terminology like. If u have seen me u hve seen the father, why ru still asking to see the father,v7 from this point on u know him and hav what Seen him! 13-14 he makes importnt ref to In his name,why because he wants us to know that neither is there salvation in any other. If u understand that God just functioned at diffrent times doing a different thing... He created as spirit, he embodied himself as our redeemer and our savior. He sends the comforter in his name, what is the comforter? Its the HGhost read acts1/2:39. So if u refer to him as the hspirit, the spirit of Christ, U see its all him! Just alittle oneness information. mT 1 Mary would have a child and he would be called Emanual which means what? That God is with us, not 1/2 of God or A 3rd but that God himself had wrapped himself in flesh in the form of a babe to do what? Die for u and I why? because he said a spirit hath not flesh and blood as u see me have. u cant hang a spirit on the cross. So he is the fat/he is the son and he is his own agent to his own church in the form of the H/G but its all him!!

What

Beyond comprehending yet so wonderfully expreienced.

John 14 reveals a whole lot of who Jesus is first to God the father and next to us sinners. further reveals his being in us thro the holy ghost that'll teach us all things and comfort us. reveals his second coming after preparing mansions in heaven for us. it tells us he's our only way and truth and life. and most especially our hearts be firm so long we trust him only. bless you all

it is time that we must believe in God's word,but i don't i must in God's word.

One of my favorite verses,its comforting!
