John -- Errors 537-543

#537

John 4: (KJV)


43 “Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.”


John’s Jesus sez that he had no honour in Galilee. “John” sez that Jesus had honour in Galilee. Who should we believe, John’s Jesus or John?

# 538

John 4: (KJV)


48 “Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.”


In the Greek the “ye” of “except ye” is plural, “you people”. KJV and a majority of moderns have mistranslated to make a singular person addressed in the entire sentence.

# 539

John 5: (KJV)


22 “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:”


Compare to Isaiah 45: (KJV)


21 “Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25 In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.”


When Isaiah heard about John 5:22 he said “Who?”.

# 540

John 5: (KJV)


25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.”


False prophecy.

# 541

John 5: (KJV)


27 “And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.”


No definite article “the” before “son of man” in the Greek but a majority of moderns add it. “The” makes the phrase sound like a title while the phrase without a “the” sounds like an adjective (“human”, let him judge men because he is a man).

# 542

John 5: (KJV)


28 “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,”


False prophecy.

# 543

John 5: (KJV)


29 “And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”


Contradicted by John 3: (KJV)


18 “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
