My brother, let Bible interprate bible

Matt 24
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Endure to the end shall be save

No fruit, cut and burn
Rev 13
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right

hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Do you believe if you ever accept Jesus and take the mark of the beast still save?

1 cor 6:9-11

Killer liar adulterer not inherit the kingdom

Saving faith is a faith which saves. And whoever has it is given eternal life as I have shown

you want me to judge people? I will not do that, God judges.

why You continue to ignore what Jesus promised is beyond me

jesus made those promises, and interpretation of any verse which co trade ts what Jesus promised must be re-interpreted to meet what Jesus promised

but with the Spirit's help, not on our own. or we could fall into error and also end up teaching others likewise.

Having said that, the issue here is semantic range. airo has a range of meaning as listed by BDAG as (1) to lift up, take up, pick up, (2) to lift up and move from one place to another, (3) to take away, remove, or seize control without suggestion of lifting up, take away, remove. So the range of meaning is between removing, and picking up to remove. I am not seeing in BDAG any special category for

End quote

This is airo, Greek word on john 15:2 mean

Brother E.G. Say airo mean lift up. It is one of the meaning of airo, than we need more information, lift up and put to where? Lift up for what.

Airo also mean, to lift up and move from one place to another place

Then we need to read verse 6 for more information

Move to be burn/fire /hell

To quote a verse or verses is not to judge
For example Jesus is the only way to the Father or salvation

That mean Muslim not a way to salvation

Is that mean to judge Muslim?

Another example
John 3:18

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Can I qoute this verse?

Not believe> condemned

Is this mean I judge non believer

No, I qoute how Jesus condemed or judge non believer, not me.

So you believe if one have saving faith, he can kill people without repent and still save only lose his reward?
Your again fishing

i believe whoever had saving faith has eternal life and that means his salvation is forever

There are verses that Jesus said that seem to indicate that salvation is only about believing in Jesus

There are also verses that Jesus said that seem to indicate that salvation is also about our works.

Both of you are just standing fast on either side, so this exchange will never converge.

Jesus never speaks of salvation being by our works he did not contradict himself

There are, you just don't want to see them as such.

The reason most do not want to do so is because they are trying to read Paul into the 4 gospels.

The classic example is John 3:16, they read 1 Cor 15:1-4 in there, when they should have used John 20:31 instead.

Lol whatever

john 3: 16 is clear, god gave his son, so whoever has faith will never die, it has eternal life

its clear. Anything that says eternal life can be lost is not of God

As I said, it seems clear in your mind, because you are reading Paul into all these verses.

John himself never believed your interpretation of John 3:16.

His letter to Israel in 1 John constantly reminded them that they can only expect to have eternal life, at the end when Jesus return for them.

1 John 1
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

1 John 2
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

1 John 3

8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.


1 John 4
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

1 John 5
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

Have you realized that throughout all his 5 chapters, the same theme is repeated time and time again? Its hard not to get that conclusion what the apostle John is telling his Jewish betheren how to be right with God.
