‘There is a simple solution to this mysterious dilemma’
It’s considered by many to to be the most well-known verse in all of Scripture, but millions of believers may not realize it’s stating something very different from what they’ve assumed or been taught.
The line in question is the famous John 3:16, which declares: “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” (NKJV).
“This beloved passage of Scripture is seen and heard everywhere, from churches to sports stadiums across the globe, but it’s misunderstood by millions of devout Christians,” says Joe Kovacs, author of the new best-seller, “Reaching God Speed: Unlocking the Secret Broadcast Revealing the Mystery of Everything.”
“Many take the phrase ‘For God so loved the world’ to mean that God loves the world soooo much.
“Even some fantastic, inspiring movies such as ‘The Gospel of John’ and Bible versions including the New Living Translation actually render the verse that way, stating: ‘For God loved the world so much …'”
guess this depends on who’s Bible you are reading. Unless it’s an approved Catholic Bible, then it’s text and meaning have been altered. But then again lots of false prophets would be out of work!
Him giving his son was his way of saying I love you. He doesn’t want us to love the things of this world. Love Jesus and others. Forgive.
