"These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, THIS IS AN HARD SAYING; who can hear it?" (John 6:59-60 KJV)
"When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, DOTH THIS OFFEND YOU?"(John 6:61 KJV)
"From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him."(John 6:66 KJV)
"I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." (John 8:24 KJV)
Jesus was not mad or hating on this group of religious unbelievers, just simply telling them they would die in their sins if they didn't face the TRUTH of being an unbeliever in need of the Savior!!!
"And ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and the truth shall make you free."
(John 8:32 KJV)
You can count on TRUTH staying the same, year after year, without any variation! However facts can change as they are susceptible to present tense discovery of knowledge relevant to any particular fact. There are exceptions to this rule as some facts will never change because they have no possible factors that are susceptible to any form of change!!! Once again, Truth is eternal therefore it is unchanging because it originated in the MIND OF GOD! Jesus Christ is the embodiment of TRUTH! He said;
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6 KJV)
This is not HATE but the TRUTH!!! If you do not know Jesus Christ as your Savior then call on Him at this very moment!!! He is willing and waiting to bring you into The Family of God!
I Believe,
Pastor Scott L. Boatner
