Jesus saves us all on his own, and he tells us whom he chooses to save; he says he chooses those who obey him.
Jesus says to believe in him.
You will have to explain that.
You cant repent of your sins and call on him to help?
But what does the Bible say? The Bible says that we only get understanding AFTER we obey. We don't have to understand to obey; we are not to lean on our understanding, but do everything he says and he will show you.
You are preaching a false gospel and hindering people from being saved.

^ And speaking of the Book we call John, there's what we see written in John 20:27-31 [blb] -
27 Then He says to Thomas, “Bring your finger here, and see My hands; and bring your hand, and put it into My side; and be not unbelieving, but believing.”
28 Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus says to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed [perfect indicative active] ; blessed are those not having seen, yet having believed [aorist participle active].”
The Purpose of John's Book
30 So indeed Jesus also did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book. 31 But these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, you may have life in His name.

False and not true....as a matter of fact 100% contrary to the truth and satanic
Are you seriously that dense or just blind?
It is not that we loved him, but that he loved us and GAVE HIMSELF FOR US
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
No one LOVES GOD BEFORE BEING BORN AGAIN....AND to peddle what you peddle is a flat lie not found in scripture

First of all, Scripture itself never names the writer of the Book we call John, so no, I am not separating John from the other apostles/disciples (and yes, I've heard all of the arguments as to why ppl believe it was John; I remain unconvinced by those arguments).
Second, I'm merely stating a fact, in my post, for the readers of this thread. The word "repent" is not found in that Book.

If you do what is right, then God is your Father.
If you do what is evil, then Satan is your father.
It is a war between good and evil.
It is not love for men to commit adultery on their wives.
It is not love for women to commit adultery on their husbands.
It is not love to yourself to go with a prostitute.
It is not love to fornicate.
It is not love to get drunk, get on drugs, steal, bear false witness, etc.
It is love to repent of those things and do right.
It is not love to be prideful.
It is not love to not be forgiving.
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.
