I would suggest you supply some scriptural support of this statement. It's not what Jesus states in
John 14:6
Again, wrong perspective. Jesus clearly points this out in
John 6:44
The rest of your post seem to be directed at someone else but it was all messed up.
Stan..........You can not possibly believe that!!!!!
John 14:6 says.......
King James Version (KJV)
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
WHY didn't you quote the other verses that apply to what Jesus said in 14:6????
Maybe if you had spent more time studying all the Scriptures and not just those pertaining to "tongues" you would understand the meaning of John 14:6.
Stan............CHRIST IS THE COMFORTER!!!!!
THE WAY............Christ is the only way.
THE TRUTH.......Christ is the embodiment of ALL truth.
THE LIFE............Christ is the life of all men.
Now the context of it all is in verse 16-18....
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 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.
18 I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you".
COMFORTER in the Original Greek is "one called alongside to help".
ANOTHER means "one of the same kind".
This tells us that the Comforter would be one of the same quality and character as Christ. The Comforter would be God. Christ would return to heaven to act as our Great High Priest but the Helper who is the Holy Spirit would remain for ever.
This Helper is the Holy Spirit.
John 16:13.....
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
The world cannot receive the Spirit. The Holy Spirit hahas a two fold ministry. He would dwell with them to be inb their midst, and He would be IN them as well.
Then the answer to all of this is verse 18........
"I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you."
I WILL COME! Christ would be with them through the ministry of the Holy Spirit and therefore, NO ONE CAN BE SAVED APART FROM THE MINISTRY AND WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!!
Jn.14:26 ...................
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Romans 7:4.............
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
Romans 7:5...............
For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
We bring forth fruit or childrenfrom the one to whom we are married. We are married to Christ, the fruit is brought forth to God. Therefore, Christ is Lord Jesus Christ or God, Son and Spirit Anointed.
Remember that the Word was God. He laid aside His Godly privileges and became a human being. When He returned to the Spirit realm He "sat down" beside the glory He laid aside to become a man. As Father-Son He could say: "I will send you from the Father." He did not say, "the Father will send without me."
John 14:10...................
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
When The Spirit of truth (mental disposition of the mind of Christ) proceeds from the Father this is identical to Jesus' statement that I will send Him to you:
John 15:26..............
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.
Spurgeon stated in a sermon................
"THE COMMENCEMENT OF SALVATION IS THE HOLY SPIRIT'S WORK. Salvation is not begun in the soul by the means of grace apart from the Holy Spirit."
You asked for Bible quotes and there they are. Now, what will you do with them my friend??? Believe them, investigate them, or fall back on your pre-conceived and biased denominational teaching?
As you stated.....the choice is indeed yours
