S
I "thought" I knew alot about the Bible, but I don't. The Bible is the best book in the world, better than television, or movies, or sports, or anything else. I wish I was younger and could have spent more time with it. I want to know all I can about GOD and JESUS. Any help with any of these questions will be appreciated.
1.John 1:4 Explain "that light was the light of men." "light of men"?
2.John 2:4,5 Why did JESUS first say not now and then right away did it? Did Mary know something why then was the time?
3.John 3:8 Meteoroligists can track the wind now.
4.John 5:28-29 The dead before Christ. Salvation by "done good" or bad? I thought faith was still involved.
5.John11:11 A time of "sleep" after death before paradise/resurrection/heaven?
6.John 11;33 Why was JESUS "troubled"? Bothered, Concern?
7.John 14:14 "in my name"--o.k. but 15:7 "whatever YOU wish/will"?
8.John 15:16 only disciples predestined? Everyone else/ we have free will to choose. Of course Judas made a choice.
9. John 16:26 "Wishy-washy"? "MAY NOT" ask the Father on our behalf?
10.John 20:13,15 "Woman" same word as "Mother" Where was Jesus' mother RIGHT after the resurrection? Wouldn't you think she would have been (one of the) First notified?
11.John 20:17 "Touch me not" A warning? Had they touched previously before the crucifixion? Matthew 28:9 They touched HIS feet.
12. John 20:23 Sounds like we do the forgiving, but I think HE was saying that if sins are forgiven(and not by us) then they are completely forgiven. Any other interpretation?
Thanks again.
