Never mind that mainstream institutional christian "theology" has nothing whatsoever to do with the Understanding of nor the Realization of Truth, Reality & The Beautiful.
Indeed it actively prevents even the possibility of such Understanding & Realization. Such is of course the legacy of "paul, whoever he was. These essays explain why: http://www.aboutadidam.org/articles/secret_identity http://www.beezone.com/AdiDa/jesusandme.html This essay describes the individual and collective self-serving narcissism of conventional institutional "religion. http://www.dabase.org/up-1-6.htm Posted by Daffy Duck, Monday, 8 April 2019 4:11:55 PM

You are spot on Spencer. The message of the cross is the gospel. Certainly the misuse of Jeremiah 29:11 is one that is commonly used by 'contemporary' teachers/preachers. On the same token John 3:16 is not complete without the next few verses.
(Joh 3:18) He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. (Joh 3:19) And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil. sums it up fairly precisely.

Daffy Duck,
<<Never mind that mainstream institutional christian "theology" has nothing whatsoever to do with the Understanding of nor the Realization of Truth, Reality & The Beautiful.>> Now would you please address the topic about which I wrote? Posted by OzSpen, Monday, 8 April 2019 6:20:16 PM

runner,
You are correct that the fuller context surrounding John 3:16 provides a better understanding of just the one verse. However, I find it disturbing that young adults have not been educated or discipled in basic truths of the Gospel and reject them. Their replacement eisegesis (reading one's ideas into) of the text of Jeremiah 29:11 creates false teaching. How many of us who love the Lord Jesus are prepared to discuss with Bible teachers their false understanding of Jeremiah 29:11 if and when it is preached in our churches?
