no concerning God's word I stick to "Truth"if you interpret my posts otherwise,then so be it,I simply was answering questions through the holy spirit,I was not "railing" on anyone as some tend to do,my purpose is only to serve God with answering questions about his word,particularly "salvation" and "baptism" I focus upon when someone "requests" to "learn",I by no means choose anyone's side or "force" anyone to believe as I believe,for this is "wrong" and I "detest" such foolishness anyways,everyone has "choices" to make,my role mainly is to "answer" when someone has a question regarding God's word,tell people of "salvation" and "baptism" but only if they "request" to learn,and I'm especially glad to be able to answer through the holy spirit,I know not why only now God has given me his spirit so abundantly,but as his servant I will do what I can for him by "helping" whom seek him come to him,just as with Fran I have spent a few times of lack of sleep to answer her questions,just like this morning I took "time" to speak with her not out of malicious intent but rather compassion even though it was 5 to 6 am and I had work at 8am and got no sleep(already couldn't sleep)but since there was reason to answer through the holy spirit,I simply did,for though I was ragged I sought to do God's will,which is why I frequent so many times here as well as other sites,to be there for "anyone" who seeks to learn God's word,and especially if they wish to become closer with God.(my dear debate partner Fran as always you may format this post for me,I always appreciate it,just as I really look forward to your posts,they really are quite interesting,the tougher the question the more I feel compelled to answer,despite how I may sound at times,[every once in a while I know I sound sarcastic,but don't take that for mocking,I do respect your views,I just sometimes speak too quickly on some topics,which I'm trying to keep from such quick wit,noone is beyond correction including me of course,so I now leave most of what I say to God,especially concerning serious topics like,God's word]well I'll discuss with you later,God bless you!)

So now you're saying Jesus makes mistakes???

Joh 13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
read the next verse yourself. You should really try reading the Bible more. Less thinking what it might say.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John3:16
"He will give this reward according to our works." this is a false statement. Nowhere in the bible does it say we will earn everlasting life by our works.
"It is because of what came to pass on the cross and His Resurrection that He can reward us with the gift of Everlasting life." He does not "reward eternal life", John 3:16 "Whoever believes - has eternal life." very clear gospel.
You cannot earn your way into Heaven; again you are attempting to mix your works with God's free gift. If you pay for a gift it is no longer a gift but a loan that I must pay back. "believe and you shall receive eternal life." John 3:16 True Gospel.
