Answer 1

Those pig eating cows removed your question JUST as I was going to give the ultimate answer!

Answer 2

Actually the verse you're speaking of wasn't directed at just one Apostle... it was directed at a group of people "There are some here who will not taste death till the son come again"... meaning there were people standing there that would be witness to his second coming (which, in the bible, it looks more like he was coming back right away... not 2000 + yrs from then)

Answer 3

John 20:20-25
Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who had been reclining at table close to him and had said, "Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?" When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?" Jesus said to him, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!" So the saying spread abroad among the brothers that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, "If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?" This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true. Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

The context in which things were said and why they were said must always be taken into account when you read the Bible. This applies exactly to the aformentioned website on "proof #5." It says you open "randomly" to pages in the Bible to read things and you find all of these bad things. Randomly searching the Bible is a misuse of it. You have to read the whole context (ie the events leading up to this, time, place, culture, etc.) surrounding any one given passage before you can assume anything. Do you randomly pick passages about in a book or do you randomly read sentences in a letter written to you?, Of course not. If someone were to randomly quote you, that would certainly not be an accurate representation of you. That is the same with the Bible, it was written for a purpose and not to be browsed through randomly. When you read it as a whole you see that it all points to the need of a Messiah and the fulfillment of His coming, Christ Jesus. According to the New Testament, that that is what He did, fulfilling all of the prophesies about Him and taking upon Himself the sin of the whole world for you and for me.
By writing this, I am not trying to force you to believe, that is not my place, but rather i hope and pray that you would come to read the Bible in the manner in which it was written. Then it is your choice if you decide to reject the promise and hope that it gives.

Answer 4

the verse says that he will live to see the return of Christ. he said this before his Crucifixion. and guess what his apostle was alive after Christ was raised from the dead. he returned from death. he then gave the holy spirit to the world. I have seen a lot of your questions and I think you must have read the bible for your self. If there is any thing I can do to help you out and help you come to Christ let me know at [e-mail] I will be praying for you my dear

Answer 5

Jesus didn't say that. He told Peter that he would be martyred, and Peter pointed to John and said, "what about him?"

Jesus said that was none of his business.
The question "What IF I want him to remain until I come?" does not indicate that John would not die.

If is a two letter word, but it is big in language.

The biggest problem with the Bible is that people don't read it like any other book.

Answer 6

No. He says in the Gospel of John to Peter that "if it is my will that he remains until i come agian, what is that to you?" but john seems to deny this in the next verse, saying that jesus did not say he would live forever. if you wanted to get technical, John did see the apocalypse in order to write Revelation, but John died a long time ago along with every other apostle of Jesus.

Answer 7

None of the followers of Jesus, who lived in His time could possibly be alive today. They are in Heaven with God.

Answer 8

We are alive through god........even after death........so yes, Possible the apostles is still alive.....but you can read john 21:22.
Best wishes and good luck

Answer 9

you are talking about John. John 21:22. Jesus is talking to Peter making a point. Peter wants to know about John's business and Jesus says (in layman's terms): "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what's it to you?" Not necessarily saying that John will live until Jesus returns, but making the point that Peter needs to worry about himself and his dedication to Jesus, not worry about John's dedication.

Answer 10

In John 21:22 Jesus was speaking to Peter concerning John when He said, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!" Therefore this saying went out that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus DID NOT SAY to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"

Jesus' hypothetical statement for emphasis was that, if John lived until His second coming, it was none of Peter's concern. Peter needed to live his own life in faithfulness, not compare it with any other.

Answer 11

no, Jesus used that as an example to peter asking if He kept john alive, what is that to him? He used that question to illustrate a point that peter is accountable to Jesus, not John.
