For God so loved the world .......

..John was saying and explaining the love of God. Jesus Christ have been proven to be the Son of God and in John 3:16, His works were enumerated. There are various writers of the old and new testament but they only have one focus. I believe in God and I believe in the testimonies and writings of John.

my friend, you should have the HOLY SPIRIT to guide you into this doubts you have in mind.. JESUS will give HIM to you. but first you have to believe HIS offer of love first. then, later you will realize the things that gives you doubts.. thanks..

^_^ Howdy!.... Gordano!.... Three Wise Men. They are gentiles and not the from the chosen people. They believe that Jesus Christ the Messiah was soon to be the King of Israel or the chosen people. And they paid respect by offering gifts just like a child king should be. Although the Three Wise Men found Jesus simple, meek and humble child on a field of Bethlehem and they still honor Him as the true Messiah. But the chosen people like Great Herod and not a gentile they never see or honored the true Messiah Jesus they even persecuted Him. So, it is among the gentiles who early recognized and honored Jesus Christ. For these gentiles they are the true chosen children of God for recognizing and honoring Jesus Christ the Messiah. Verse Matthew 15:24.... (International Standard Version ©2008).... But He replied, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel. (King James Bible) But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the {g} house of Israel. (g) Of the people of Israel, who were divided into tribes, but all those tribes came from one family. Before healing the daughter of the Syrophoenecian woman, Jesus said that he was only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Moslems take this to be confirmation of their view that Jesus was a prophet for the Jews only, and that his disciples were therefore also only sent to the Jews. From this they argue further that the teachings of Jesus are not for Gentiles and that the gospel cannot therefore be a universal religion, unlike Islam. The Lord's personal mission was to the Jews. Under the first commission his apostles were directed to go only to the Jews (Mt 10:6). It would be impossible to evangelize the Gentiles without setting aside the Jewish customs, the law of Moses, and arousing the bitterest prejudice of the Jews. Hence it was the divine plan that the Son should keep the law blameless during his ministry. It was only when the Jews crucified him that the handwriting of ordinances was nailed to the cross (Col 2:14), the wall of partition (Eph 2:14) between Jews and Gentiles broken down, and all prepared for the Great Commission which bade his disciples go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature (Mr 16:15). Consider the context of the verse. Jesus may have told the woman that he was not sent to anyone other than Israel, but he then healed the Syrophoenecian woman's daughter. This was done in confirmation of the idea that the leftovers of the Gospel which were not used by Israel could be given to the Gentiles. The move to incorporate Gentiles into the early ecclesia did not come until after the resurrection of Jesus (Acts 10). It was produced by a direct revelation from God (Acts 10:10-16) and was confirmed by a dispensation of the Holy Spirit send by God (Acts 10:44-48). This shows the sanction of God for including the Gentiles in the ecclesia, and if this is encouraged by God then the Gospel must be a message for Gentiles as well as Jews. Jesus gave the Apostles the command to preach the Gospel in all the world and to everyone without restriction. (Matthew 28:19,20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8). This shows that Jesus considered his message to be a universal one for all people. The claims of real Christianity to be a religion for people from all nations is excellent. There is no cultural baggage. Prayers are in the vernacular and the Bible can be understood in translation into many languages without the need to lose too much detail. ^_^ God bless us all!.... Peace!.... Thanks!.... and Enjoy!.... myLot!....

I would take the whole New Testament with a Grain of Salt. It seems to me that many people put words into the Mouths of Jesus, and of God. Down through the ages (for the last 2000 years)many men has stood to gain monetarily from Organized Religion. The Bible has been translated and re translated at least 270 times. Each Translation was made by men who stood to gain wealth by the words, and teachings in the Bible. After 2 Millenniums organized Religion is the Biggest, Wealthiest Most Powerful, and Most Influential Business the world has ever seen.

1) When Jesus said "He was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel", he war trying the faith of the woman. it was a reverse psycho. the common belief then was that the Messiah will come to save Israel only. But the woman did not give up. Her faith says, "No Lord, you will also save us non-Jews". And Jesus saved her, BECAUSE He's main purpose is to save the WORLD, everyone. 2) The Father is not The Son. That time, God in heaven is not Jesus on earth. But THEY ARE ONE. They are one in character, one in purpose, one GODHEAD. They work as ONE from eternity past to eternity future. 3) Jesus was talking to the Father, then.

I just want to say something John 3:16 that is referred in your question. This verse is no longer found in any latest version of Bible that came after King James version (published in 1611). The reason why this verse is not found is because once many scholars in Christendom from different Christian denominations, sat down to revise Bible in order to correct errors, etc, they found out that this verse is no where found in the most ancient manuscripts, so they removed it as a fabrication in the bible. In one of the bible versions that came after king james version had a note in the beginning saying that new version has been published becasue there were so many errors found in the king james version and some were very serious so they had to do a major revision to it. In doing the revision, the researched again and read the most ancient manuscripts and found out that this verse John 3:16 is not found in any of those documents. Regarding verse in which Jesus saying that he was sent only to the lost sheep of house of Israel is rightly meant to be saying that Jesus was sent not to the whole world but only for the Jews. There are many facts from bible to prove this. 1) Once a woman (a Non-Jew) came to Jesus asking some help but he refused to help by saying that he is only sent for Jews (Read Matthew 15:22-28) 2) Jesus said to his desciples when sending out for preaching by instructing them not to go to the Non-Jews (Read Matthew 10: 5-6)

It is quite clear that if neither the God nor the Son are talking,then it is some third person who has manipulated and entered this new concept of "son of God" in the Bible from his own side willfully.This all shows that the Bible is not in its original shape and the polytheistic concept of Trinity is not Divine but fabricated by people who came after Jesus Christ.
