A person tried to tell me that child abuse isn't verbal.

Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.
— Matthew 26:33-35

Could Peter have stuck to his guns and shown Jesus that He was wrong?

If you are willing to obey Me,
I have treasures for you multiplied.
If you will follow Me where’er I lead you,
And Myself you not deny,

Then I will take you to the farthest corners
Of the world, in written word,
To millions who God’s great salvation
Not been told them, never heard.

For many still without the Savior,
They are dying in their sins each day,
They’re needing someone just to tell them
How to truly find Him; how to pray.

So tell them that the Son of God came
Down to the earth and became a man,
He was crucified upon a cross to
Forgive our sins. For, ‘twas God’s plan.

By faith in Jesus, who is The Christ,
The Son of God, who came down to die,
Our sins delivered; we are set free
To live for Jesus. This is no lie.

CNN spoke with more than a dozen members of Congress, operatives and multiple people in touch with both Obama and Pelosi, many of whom say that the end for Biden’s candidacy feels clear and at this point it’s just a matter of how it plays out, even after Thursday night’s news conference. I should also add that it sounds like the Biden loyalists mentioned in the article were correct about Obama being behind the Clooney op-ed. Obama apparently spoke with George Clooney and gave him the go-ahead. A lot of rank-and-file Democrats still believe they make choices through the primary system.

Questions:


In context, Paul was addressing the issue of the Judaizers trying to convince the Christians that they had to add on to their salvation some of the Old Covenant ceremonial and liturgical and dietary laws, including the requirement of circumcision of all males. So Paul refuted what the Judaizers were teaching by explaining that through Jesus’ sacrifice on that cross for our sins that we who believe in him are not subject to those Old Covenant liturgical requirements. But this did not remove God’s moral laws.

For then he went on to explain that, although they were free from all those Old Covenant ceremonial laws, they were not to use their freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love (agape love) they were to serve one another. And this love, which is of God, prefers what God prefers, which is for us to live through Christ, obeying his choices in his power. For what God prefers is all that is holy, righteous, godly, morally pure, upright, honest, faithful, and obedient to God and to his New Covenant commands.

Now the fruit (outgrowth, result) of the Spirit living within us, by genuine God-persuaded and God-gifted faith in our Lord Jesus, should be seen in our lives in these various character traits, which are of the Spirit, and which should be reflected by us who are of the Spirit and who are no longer surrendering our lives to the sinful passions of the flesh (see 2 Peter 1:5-11). And this is not saying that we will be perfect in all these areas, but they should be evident in our lives and increasing, not decreasing.

Therefore, we are to be followers of Jesus Christ who exemplify agape love, which prefers and lives by what God prefers, in his power, which is what is holy, obedient, and righteous, etc. We should have the joy of the Lord in our hearts, even in difficult times, for this joy has to do with rejoicing because of God’s grace to us. And this peace is peace of mind, a spiritual wholeness which is gifted to us by God, so this is peace (not enmity) with God.

Now I think patience is a difficult one for all human beings. But patience is possible, by the grace of God and in his power, as we yield control of our circumstances over to the Lord and as we endeavor to not control them ourselves. And the result of this should be steadfastness of spirit and staying-power in our difficult circumstances while we wait upon the Lord to intervene in our trials and in our tribulations.

And kindness is not saying to people what they want to hear so that they will like us and not hate and reject us. It is not ever kind to lie to people to make them feel better. For kindness is uprightness and goodness and excellence, so not lies. And it refers to meeting real needs in God’s way, not in the way of the flesh. So it is kind to speak the truth in love to people, the truth that they need to hear which they may not be receptive to, and which may lead them to hate and reject us, and to not want anything to do with us.

And goodness is not based in human thinking and reasoning, but it is based solely in the goodness of God, which has to do with moral purity, honesty, uprightness, faithfulness, and obedience to our Lord. And if we are faithful, we are full of biblical faith in the Lord Jesus which dies with him to sin and lives to his righteousness. And we are trustworthy and dependable with regard to our Lord and to his requirements for our lives, and in our marriage relationships with regard to fidelity in our unions with our spouses.

And gentleness is meekness, but meekness is not weakness. Jesus was meek but he was not weak. He never compromised his faith or convictions or the truth or righteousness so that others would consider him “gentle.” For he was the one who overturned tables in the temple courts and who drove out the moneychangers with whips. And he was the one who called out the hypocrites and publicly derided them for their hypocrisy. So gentleness is reserved strength which expresses power with a level of reserve.

And self-control is not all about self and us saying to God “Me Do It,” like how some people operate. Self-control is the ability to control our own behaviors and to not allow ourselves to be out-of-control, living in riotous and immoral behaviors. But for the believer in Jesus Christ this falls under Holy Spirit control, as we surrender our lives to Jesus Christ to do his will, and as we resist Satan and flee temptation and draw near to God to do his will. For if we are in Christ Jesus, by faith in him, we have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

So, if we are of genuine faith in Jesus Christ, we are to be those who are also living by the Spirit, walking (in conduct) according to the ways of the Lord and no longer according to the ways of our sinful flesh. This does not mean we will be perfect in every way (1 John 2:1-2), but that sin is no longer to be what we practice, but now righteousness and obedience to our Lord and to his commands are to be what we practice. For if sin is what we practice, and not obeying our Lord, we will not inherit eternal life with God.

[Matt 7:21-23; Lu 9:23-26; John 1:12-13; John 6:44; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14; Rom 12:1-2; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Co 10:1-22; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; Gal 5:16-24; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; Col 3:1-17; Titus 2:11-14; 1 Jn 1:5-10; 1 Jn 2:3-6,24-25; 1 Jn 3:4-10; 1 Peter 1:15; 1 Pet 2:24; Heb 3:1-19; Heb 4:1-13; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2; Rev 21:8,27; Rev 22:14-15]

Songs in the Night

An Original Work / December 18, 2013

“About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.” Acts 16:25 NIV ‘84

Lord, I praise You forevermore.
You, my Savior, I now adore.
Hope in heaven awaiting me,
Because You died at Calvary.

I have been forgiven,
And I’m bound for heaven.
Jesus set me free from
All my sin, I say.
I will praise Him always!

Lord, I love You for all You’ve done:
Overcame death, my vict’ry won!
Jesus saved me, and now I’m free!
I rejoice in His love for me.

I will walk in vict’ry!
My sin is but hist’ry!
I am free to please Him
With my life today.
I will love Him always!

Lord, I thank You for giving me
A new life bought at Calvary.
Loving Jesus, I meet with Him.
Tender mercies now flow within.

Lord, I am so thankful;
Through my Lord, I’m able
To sit at His table;
Fellowship with Him.
I will thank Him always!

Questions:


“Caught” can be “caught in the act,” or it can be “trapped in sin” or “taken by surprise” or “overcome, overtaken, or stricken” by any transgression (any falling away, sin, deviation from truth, error, or wrongdoing). But what is clear is that it requires that the person be restored (adjust to being in good working order; to bring into its proper condition). So there is a definite sense of a falling away and of the need to be brought back to good working order.

And this word “restore” is a medical term used for “setting dislocated limbs.” And how do they do that? They'll carefully push and pull on the dislocated joint to move it back into alignment. So this is not painless. But the most important treatment for a dislocation is putting your joint back in its correct place. And that is the entire object of restoring a Christian who has fallen back into sin back to being in good working order spiritually. And this involves a transformation of heart and mind and a willingness to obey.

Now, it is our responsibility as followers of and believers in Jesus Christ to help others to come to know Jesus Christ, in truth, and then to help them to follow him in obedience to his commands in moral purity, uprightness, godliness, honesty, and faithfulness, where possible. And if a brother or a sister in Christ, or one professing faith in Christ, should wander from the truth of the gospel, we who are following the Lord with our lives are to bring that wanderer back, if possible (men with men and women with women).

We must not, ourselves, be those who are habitually and deliberately sinning against the Lord. For how can we help restore a brother or a sister in Christ back to the correct spiritual relationship with the Lord Jesus if we are not there ourselves. And if we are not there ourselves, this is no excuse for not helping others to be there, but we should first of all get ourselves back in good working order spiritually, by the grace of God, via submission to Christ as Lord, in obedience to his commands, so that we can help others.

Now we are to do this in a spirit of gentleness, which is meekness, which has to do with reserved strength. But now Jesus Christ was meek, but he was not weak, and he never compromised truth and righteousness and the gospel message in order to be “gentle” and so as not to offend anyone with the truth. He spoke the truth of the gospel strongly, powerfully, and with much conviction and determination to make certain that he told them the truth that they needed to hear, even if they rejected him, in return.

So, if we are too gentle so as not to offend people, then we will never be true servants of the Lord Jesus and of his righteousness, and so we will not be able to be used of him to help others come to genuine faith in him and to walk in obedience to our Lord, and not in sin. And this goes back to the medical term of restore, which has to do with resetting a joint which is dislocated. If the doctor is so gentle that he fears hurting us, he will never be able to put our joint back in its proper place. Do you see this?

We cannot be afraid to tell people the truth out of fear of what they will think of us. We must care enough about other people’s spiritual lives and their eternal destiny that we will lay down our lives for them enough to risk having them hate and reject us for telling them the truth about God and salvation and repentance and obedience to God. And we must warn them about where they will spend eternity if they do not leave their sins behind them to now follow Jesus Christ in obedience to his commands. For Jesus died that we might die to sin and live to righteousness (1 Peter 2:24).

And all of this has to do with bearing one another’s burdens. For this is about us stepping out of our comfort zones and risking our own lives and our own reputations in order to give people the truth that will set them free. And the truth is that Jesus died on that cross so that we will now die with him to sin and so that we will now walk with him in obedience to his commands, by his Spirit. And this is true love to tell people the truth and to help them to walk in that truth and to help them to leave their lives of sin behind them so that they can have salvation from sin and eternal life with God.

John 4:1-2 says that , when therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus MADE and BAPTIZED more disciples than John .

Though Jesus himself BAPTIZED , NOT // MU , which is a DISJUNCATIVE PARTICLE NEGATIVE , which means Jesus NEVER EVER did one BAPTISM , but his disciples .

I say that Jesus will baptize , what say you ??

I wanted to revisit a theory that Jesus' parable of the fig tree in Matthew 24:32-35 suggests that Israel's progressive restoration is a sign that the time of the end is near. To do this, I want to go back to Ezekiel 36, where God treats the surrounding nations and "Edom" the way they treated Israel by reversing the curses back on them and blessing Israel. Take a look at the similarities:

"Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near;"
- Matthew 24:32 NASB1995

"But you, O mountains of Israel, you will put forth your branches and bear your fruit for My people Israel; for they will soon come."
- Ezekiel 36:8 NASB1995

I suggest that the parable of the fig tree is a reference to Ezekiel 36:8 and provides us guidelines on when to look out for signs. We know that the Mandate of Palestine was given over to the Jews that fled Europe after the Holocaust in 1948, forming the nation of Israel. When they returned they sought a nation that honored God above all and obey His commands (even though they still reject Jesus). Take a look at Deuteronomy 30.

"Moreover the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD you God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live. The LORD your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecute you. And you shall again obey the LORD, and observe all His commandments which I command you today."
- Deuteronomy 30:6-8 NASB1995

In both Ezekiel 36 and Deuteronomy 30, God says He will turn the curses He placed against Israel against those who persecute him. This is HUGE.

Now take a look at Revelation 6's six seals. Jesus opens a sealed scroll, which is the deed to the promises God made to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, and the Twelve Apostles. Take a look and notice how they all lead to one another:

Seal 1: Restoration of the Land of Israel: Beginning in 1948 and continuing to this day.
Seal 2: Intifadas and Terrorism: Beginning in 1987 and continuing to this day.
Seal 3: Gaza Blockade and Post-war Lebanese Economy, beginning in 2006 and continuing to this day.
Seal 4: Desolation of Gaza in 2023 (and likely Lebanon in the coming months) and continuing to this day.
Seal 5: Islamist Jihad across the world stemming from protests of the War in Gaza in 2024. Likely to intensify after the U.S. presidential election.
Seal 6: Sign of the Son of Man. The elect remnant of Israel given seal of protection.
Seal 7: The Great Tribulation begins (against the world). God will stop restraining the son of perdition so the people of God can be refined (See Zech 13:8-9).

Given that, and understanding how sensationalist this comes across, I think we should be getting our things in order (as every generation should). David once wrote that a generation is 70-80 years old. 1948 + 80 = 2028. The Time of the End is 3.5 years. Makes you wonder.

I imagine many will disagree with me, and that's fine. Just staying watchful. God bless.

Biblehub placed Paul's conversion in 34 AD.

Galatians 2:

1 After fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.

Click to expand...

The Jerusalem Council took place in 48 AD. Paul and Barnabas wanted to consult the Jerusalem church on the circumcision question.

2 I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those who seemed influential) the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles, in order to make sure I was not running or had not run in vain.

Click to expand...

Paul didn't think circumcision was required for the Gentile believers, but they wanted the opinion of the pillars:

9 When James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. 10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.

Click to expand...

The Council agreed that circumcision was not required for Gentile believers.

Paul and Barnabas returned to Antioch. Peter/Cephas visited them.

11 When Cephas came to Antioch, however, I opposed him to his face, because he stood to be condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles.

Click to expand...

E.g., Peter had likely eaten in Cornelius' house (Ac 10:28).

But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself, for fear of those in the circumcision group.

Click to expand...

Later, some brothers from James visited Antioch. Peter changed his behavior because of them.

Was James part of this circumcision group? Was Peter afraid that they would report him to James?

I understand the "circumcision group" as the Judaizers. The immediate context suggested that James might be part of this group. However, the broader context did not.

13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray.

Click to expand...

Was James part of the circumcision group?

At the time, the teachings of James, Cephas, John, and Barnabus were a bit more traditional than Paul's. The former focused on Jews, while Paul focused on Gentiles. James was closer to the circumcision group than Paul but he was not part of that group.

Some people thought that Putin's strategy of waiting for a weak American administration - weak on foreign policy and resolve, was a "brilliant Move" in his efforts to steal regions of Eukraine. But it was more like saying "the evil genius was brilliant" rather than "I love Putin" the way some spin-artists like to cast it.



But in the Press Conference that Biden held today - he claims that Trump thought Putin's plan was "wonderful" as if instead of using his usual sarcasm - Trump actually approved of whatever evil deed Putin does since Trump is orange-man-bad or something of that sort in Biden's mind.


==================================================================

So what did they (the media - and Biden in his speech this evening) "carefully leave out" of Trump's statement about the evil genius move of Putin??

from that same SNOPES report we find this part that they "left out" in the political spin of Trump's statement


I suppose spinning the point 180 degrees backwards from the actual statement is considered "good politics" in some circles.

=============== existential threat??? really??

Notice how often in Biden's remarks - and in news media reports -- Trump is "an existential threat to democracy" , only to followed up with "an existential threat to America". They have gone off the deep end to the "end of world if we lost the election". Having whipped half of America and a good deal of Europe into a frenzy at the specter of what might be crumbling should the unthinkable happen where we actually had Donald Trump as an American president! They argue "just imagine it! Just think of how awful that would be! we can never let that happen".

I guess they think we have the memory of a gerbil.

Meanwhile even some Democrats will say they are not falling for the "existential threat" form of scare tactics.
democrats-reportedly-privately-admit-trump-isnt-an-existential-threat-to-democracy

==============================

Meanwhile - at this press conference Biden informs America that Biden did not select Trump to be his vice president without first accepting the fact that he would be a very good president.

Biden said he would "not have picked vice President Trump if he did not believe she was qualified to be president." (yep , you got that right)

Please don't tell them....

Does Hollywood show Slavic people in a positive way?

Does Hollywood show Eastern Orthodox people in a positive way?

"The truth is that most party-line Democratic Party politicians have never believed that Trump is the threat to democracy they claim he is. Instead, they have parroted this talking point for years to rile up their base and bolster fundraising."
It's just like how they scare seniors before elections by saying Republicans want to take away Medicare and Social Security. Obviously democracy did not disappear in the four years Trump was president.

Some say Tarshish is Southern Spain.

Some Christadelphians have suggested that Tarshish is Britain. Without quoting any of these sources (so as not to be perceived as critical of anyone), the reasoning as to why Tarshish is Britain goes something like this:

1. Tarshish is west of Joppa (Jonah 1:3)
2. Tarshish is an island nation (Psalm 72:10; Isaiah 23:6)
3. Tarshish is a maritime power (Isaiah 2:16)
4. Tarshish traded tin with Tyre (Ezekiel 27:12), the ancient capital of the Phoenicians; and the Phoenicians obtained tin in southwestern Britain (notably Cornwall).

Tin was mined on the southwest coast of Britain by the Phoenicians, and the Phoenicians (whose principal seaport was Tyre) were supplied with tin by Tarshish per Ezekiel 27:12, then Britain must be Tarshish.

Did Jesus visit England ?

The national media is full of pictures of a country pulling itself apart: campus protestors clashing with police; the addicted camped on street corners; and of course, migrants pouring over an insecure border. It’s little wonder Americans see a future full of dread and despair. Fortunately, one woman offered the country she loved a prescription for what ails it today — except she wrote that script more than 18 years ago, in a New York Times op-ed headlined “The Americanization Ideal”. It’s high time we took her counsel to heart.

Barbara Jordan. That column was penned by Barbara Jordan, civil-rights leader, former congresswoman (and first African-American woman elected to Congress from the South), and at the time chairwoman of the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform — a position to which she had been appointed by President Bill Clinton.
The More Things Change ... Op-eds have word limits, and I assume the Times imposed one on Jordan in “The Americanization Ideal”. That meant that she had to pack a lot into the 567 ones she chose. She began with five sentences that literally could have been written yesterday:

Congress is considering legislation to curb illegal immigration and set priorities for legal admissions. Several Presidential candidates have made immigration a keystone of their campaigns. Newspapers carry immigration-related articles almost daily, in contrast to just a few years ago when hardly any appeared.
This attention is not misplaced. Reform is needed in policies that permit the continued entry of hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens and blur distinctions between what is legal and beneficial and what is illegal and harmful.

And is it possible to reach these people because I keep seeing them and all the time they are incredibly angry and hateful on the internet and it hurts.

The current American inflation rate for common goods and services is down to 3%.

The COVID pandemic threw a NEW wrench into the wheels of the economy. But, 3% now is quite manageable.

Those who repeat falsehoods about the American economy, as Trump regularly does, are ignoring the fact that the American economy rebounded much faster than the worldwide economy. And, much of this was due to the professional actions of the Federal Reserve, which operates independently of the President.

There are challenges that Americans must face, in the economy. But, many of these need to be solved with new legislation, and are not in the control of the President.

I read on CNN News that Pelosi said its up to Biden to decide if he is going to run, and that it was interpreted as she was saying he should step down. I wouldn't have interpretted it this way. In fact to me it seems the opposite: that she was saying they should stop pressuring him to step down and respect his decision to run. Now, this is not about Biden, this is about me. Why is it a comment about Biden that everyone else seems to think is negative, I happened to perceive is positive? Maybe its because I get Ds and Fs in life, and thats why C sounds like a good grade to me. But others, who are getting As and Bs in life, to them C is a bad grade. So this just underscores just how horrible a feedback I must be getting in order for my interpretation of Pelosi's feedback on Biden to differ so greating from everyone else's interpretation.

So lets directly compare some of my feedback to Pelosi's feedback. I am very talkative here online, but if you see me in person I am a lot less talkative: I keep waiting for people to approach me and get frustrated that nobody does. When I complain about it, I am told I should just approach people myself. I guess I interpreted it as if they told me its not true that nobody likes me, and I get mad at them for lying to me since I think its most definitely true. But actually they didn't say the phrase "its not true", so maybe its the same kind of misinterpretation as the one I have about Pelosi and Biden. As much as I am mad at them for saying its not true, it would make me feel better if they did say this, on some level, so maybe its my desperation that makes me interpret it this way.

But anyway, if we *assume* thats what they say, then lets put it side by side with Pelosi+Biden and see how ridiculuous it would be. So, on the one hand, when Pelosi says its up to Biden to decide if he is going to run, its supposed to be a negative comment. On the other hand, when nobody talks to me (neither in church, nor at work, nor anywhere else), its supposed to be neutral. Do you see how ridiculous it is? Pelosi actually defended Bided when she said its up to him, yet its supposed to be negative because I guess she didn't defend him hard enough. But in my case, nobody even says hello to me, yet its supposed to be neutral because I didn't say hello first (why should I be the one saying it first?) So you see how its a double standard?

Now lets look at another example. When I am complaining "am I going to die single and childless", people are telling me its up to God. I take it as if they are insinuate that they think God wants me to die single and childless and I confront them why do they think God wants that? Then they say "we didn't say God wants that, we don't know what God wants, thats why you have to pray". Well, they didn't say this but they insinuated this, and the only reason they are denying it is because they don't want an argument. But even if I give them a benefit of the doubt and say they did mean "they don't know it", this still leaves a very good possibility that maybe God wants me to die single and childless (just with a word maybe inserted). Were they leaving this kind of possibility for themselves when they were single? Are they leaving this possibility for their single friends who don't have Asperger's? And even suggestion to pray to find out God's will. In case of other people, they are praying for them to find a partner. But in my case they want me to pray to see God's will. See the difference?

Lets now compare this to what Pelosi said about Biden. In my case, they told me its up to God, and its supposed to be neutral. In Pelosi's case, she said it its up to him, and its supposed to be negative. I disagree. I think saying its up to Biden is more positive than saying its up to God. When people are telling me its up to God, they are saying that maybe God already decided I should be single and childless and there is nothing I can do about it. But when Pelosi says its up to Biden, then yes Biden has a power to stay in a race: all he has to do is to decide to stay in a race which he already did. So I think what Pelosi said about Biden is much more positive than what people say about me.

When did the Church use the word "church"?
Did Jesus command to use the word Church?

According to the 54-page report, the DoDEA used “transformative SEL” techniques, which “refers to applying the SEL framework toward the goals of creating equitable settings and systems and promoting justice-oriented schools and civic engagement,” according to leading SEL group CASEL. “Transformative SEL” works by telling children to pay outsize attention to “privilege” and “identity,” and according to a 2021 Equity and Access Summit from the DoDEA, students being confronted by those issues face “difficult conversations” that can provoke children to cry. They're politically indoctrinated our kids using taxpayer money. Just like the exploit foreign children by allowing and promoting policies that increase child trafficking.

previously reviled you, or have been reviled by you.
Learning to receive and be a blessing is the high calling.

10 For:
He who would love life
And see good days,
Let him refrain his tongue from evil,
And his lips from speaking deceit.
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good;
Let him seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their prayers;
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

The fear of God in a believer's life is found
with the knowledge that nothing will remain hidden:

Hebrews 4:13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight,
but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him
to whom we must give account.

This is the fuller understanding of being born again.
John 3:
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe
is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of
the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light,
lest his deeds should be exposed.
21 But he who does the truth comes to the light,
that his deeds may be clearly seen,
that they have been done in God.
