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."
3:17
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
3:18
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.
3:19
This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
3:20
Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
3:21
But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."

Sounds like some meaningless babel from a guy who wanted to demonize his enemies and elevate his allies. Just like Hitler did, Stalin did, GW Bush is doing, etc. Heck, sounds like the same thing every war leader does. It's easier to kill the enemy when you convince your people that the enemy is less than human.

Some extraterrestrial sent his son (the real one, not the lab experiments) to earth to show us a different way of living. Those who learn from him (the son) are blessed by the light of his offering. Those who prefer not to, will remain blind to themselves and from what the light has to offer. Those who embrace the offering (from the Son) will radiate the vibration of God, the extraterrestrial; and it will be recognized.

It means believe and ye shall be saved. God sent his son to die so that we may live and look at what we are doing. I have 4 wonderful, beautiful children and I know I would nor could ever let one of them die for the people in the world today. NO WAY! But God so loved the world that he gave HIS son. What a wonderful God.

It tells me that God loved me so much that He gave His only Son so that I would not have to die. It tells me that Jesus did not come to condemn me but to save me and that those who do evil and reject Christ live in darkness because their deeds are evil but those who accept Him live in light and by the truth.

This is truth, hope and light to a dark and dying world. Thanks for the post. The word of God is sharper than a two edged sword and will not return void.

What it says to me:
"I'm yet another idiot who can't be bothered to do my own writing or to search the questions for anything similar. I actually think that people can be converted by looking at passages from a book they probably already own. I think I can do what 84,000 other people can't, which is win a soul at Yahoo! Answers and get a few more points to cash in for prizes in heaven. Two more converts, and I can get the satin bomber jacket!"

I will pray for the people that don't know that the only way to GOD is through Jesus.
