Some quotes from Jesus about everlasting life

[CalmReflect]

Hello,

What do you all think of the several references in the New Testament about everlasting life? Jesus taught about it with some of these quotes from him. Jesus is truly the Son of God and real, even the Old Testament before he was on earth has prophecies about him such as Isaiah 53 which were fulfilled.

John 4:13, 14 "Jesus answered and said unto her, "Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."

John 10:27-30 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one." - Jesus

John 10:10, 11 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." - Jesus

For anyone who wants to accept Christ as your savior to receive everlasting life, you can pray to him, confess you are a sinner and tell him you accept his sacrifice on the cross for your sins so that you saved from them. Then it's good to be active in your faith by being baptized,joining a church,reading the word,  and continuing to pray. Christ is the lord in heaven now

Eternal life is worth the effort.

Preaching? Yeah, definitely preaching.

Preaching? Yeah, definitely preaching.

I would second that conclusion.

Luke 19:26-27, talking about the parable of the Minas (implication being this is what he'd do to his enemies)

26 "He replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away. 27 But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.'"

and

Matthew 10:32-37

32 "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.

   34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn

   "'a man against his father,
   a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
   36 a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'[c]

   37 "Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

Everlasting life? With him? No thank you. I don't hang out with people like that, let alone deities.

I can assure you, I love my mom and my daughter much, MUCH more than I would ever love a god, even if he/she/it existed. And when I was a Christian (and ignored passages like these), I still loved them much more. If I'm not 'worthy' of him, and if he'd just as soon kill me for being an enemy of his because I certainly don't want or need that kind of "king"... well, there you have it.

Everlasting life, wow, sounds fantastic.

Can I get a cup of that juice please!

Hello there, CalmReflect. My guess is that you're a post-and-run preacher, and we probably won't hear from you again. The main body of your post is drivel in my opinion, but at least you tried to offer a resource of some kind.

That's a sad little website. I guess it's your Christian charity which lead you to linking to it, eh? A much more useful site for examining biblical passages is Biblos.com. Then there's  Biblegateway.com, which is also far superior to the site you linked. For a more critical examination of the Bible (and the Quran and the Book of Mormon) I enjoy the Skeptic's Annotated Bible.

Jesus also said he would return and judge the world within a generation of his lifetime, so we know he was full of bull...

Motion passes!

He came back a few times to judge us silently.


I actually have hard the "You can't love anyone more than me" quote from my dad, who proceeded to tell me I was the second greatest joy in his life after God. 
God has a weird self esteem issue.

What was he meaning though, our sun is what, 2nd or 3rd generation?
Are deity generations longer or shorter than the stellar, I'd of thought longer but they are so damn mysterious, in their ways and stuff.

true, maybe I was interpreting 'this generation' a bit leterally. Maybe Jesus was actually talking about the generation of sea grass growing off the Judaean shore, that would give him tens of thousands of years to return in...
