In John 5:31-47, Jesus mentions four witnesses: John the Baptist, the works that Jesus did, the Father, and the Scriptures. These witnesses collectively testify to Jesus' identity as the Son of God.

Who fulfilled John's prophecy?

John the Baptist foresaw the coming of Christ. He came to the world, lived, died and resurrected concerning the prophecy. Several passages expressly state that John the Baptist was a witness for Christ: Jesus listed John as one of His witnesses. John 5:31-33 John came for the purpose of being a witness to the Light (Christ). He bore witness regarding Jesus (cf. v19) so that all might believe. John 1:6-9


Who wrote Jesus was the light of the world?

The phrase "Jesus was the light of the world" can be found in the Bible, specifically in the Gospel of John, where Jesus refers to himself as the light of the world in John 8:12 and John 9:5.


Does John Chapter 5 Verse 18 mean that Jesus and his apostles were not practicing the sabbath?

John 5:18 indicates that "the Jews" (really the Jewish religious leaders) wanted to kill Jesus, and wanted to use the fact that He healed on the Sabbath as another excuse to have Him removed permanently. The rest of John chapter 5 gives more of the story, as well as Jesus' response.


Does Jesus deny that he is God in John 17 verse 3 and John 5 verse 44?

A:To the author of John's Gospel, Jesus was most certainly God, and we should be cautious of reading any part of John to mean that Jesus was not God. John 5:44-45 does suggest a lapse, in which Jesus did deny he was God, but need not be read this way; John 17:3 is ambiguous and could more readily be seen as a denial by Jesus that he was God, but again need not be read this way. In Mark 10:18 (Why call me good. There is none good but God.), Jesus clearly does deny being God.


What is the decision to ban Jehovah's witnesses?

Russia has banned all activities of the Witnesses. But we remain happy. Matt. 5:10 tells us to remain happy during persecution and 2 Tim 3:12 tells us that we would be persecuted if we follow Jesus.


What is Salvation. Is it necessary to have a religion for salvation?

According to Jesus their is salvation only through him. Jesus says in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except though me." Adding to this you have to be baptized in Jesus name and filled with the Holy Ghost to go to Heaven. Read Acts 2:38 and John 3:5. Plus Jesus and God are the SAME! Ephesians 4:5 and John 3:13 KJV!


How many times does Jesus talk about love in the gospel of John?

Jesus mentions the word 29 times in John, in chapters 5, 8, 10, 11-17, & 19-21.Incidentally, the most well-known verse of the Bible is in John (3:16) -- which is about the love of God -- but Jesus didn't say it.

What man prepared the way for Jesus?

John the Baptizer, the cousin of Jesus, prepared the way for Jesus. John's mother was Elizabeth, the virgin Mary's first cousin. Jesus referred to him as the same as Elijah who is prophesied to come before Jesus return the 2nd time to the Jews. For we read in Malachi 4:5 "Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord arrives .

Do Jehovah's Witnesses believe Enoch was taken up with God?

Witnesses believe that ''Enoch was "transferred so as not to see death," which may mean that God put him in a prophetic trance and then terminated Enoch's life while he was in the trance so that he did not experience the pangs of death. (Ge 5:24; Heb 11:5, 13) However, he was not taken to heaven, in view of Jesus' clear statement at John 3:13. It appears that, as in the case of Moses' body, Jehovah disposed of Enoch's body, for "he was nowhere to be found."
