Jesus didnt try to fool the people. He told them without keeping his sayings you will die.
52Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead , and the prophets; and thou sayest ,
If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
John 8:52
Note the conditional nature of what he said. If you
KEEP HIS SAYINGS you will not die.
Yet the Protestant doctrine is saturating the hearts of people. Teaching that one need
NOT keep his sayings. You need not
DO anything. They say if you
DO anything its self righteousness.
Jesus did not think so. He said
IF you keep his sayings you will not die.
Will it be life or death?
